Trailer Park

Here are a couple of interesting trailers that were released recently that caught my eye:

The first is called Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close with Tom Hanks and Sandra Bullock. It's about a kid who loses his father during 9/11.



I like both of them, but it looks like a big box of downers.

I'll still probably see it anyway cause I sometimes enjoy a good weepy movie with a heart and Sandra Bullock.

And then there is A Joyful Noise, starring Queen Latifa and Dolly Parton. It looks like a gospel version of Sister Act.



I definitely love me some Dolly Parton and it's been a while since she's done a movie, so I hope it does well for her.

But, I will say...her plastic surgeries really stand out in this trailer and it's a bit distracting for me. I'm glad they at least acknowledge it and deal with it in the film too.

Holy Mortars

I had completely forgotten the And on the seventh day, the Lord attacked passage from Sunday school.

Only 86 shopping days until Christmas...

Like them

Here is a beautiful cover of Adele's "Someone Like You" sung as a duet.



I really like their version a lot. Emily, in particular, has a really amazing voice. I hope they win the contest.

Of course, there's no beating the original:

There are finally some new pics of Anne Hathaway as Catwoman from the set of the new Batman movie and they do look better than the first one...which is a good thing.













It'll be interesting to see how she compares to Michelle Pfeiffer from the earlier movies.

She's got some pretty big paws to fill.

Jabba

This Russian guy's neck is just creepy...

Depp Shadows

Entertainment Weekly released the first official photo from the upcoming Dark Shadows movie today and they all look particularly chipper, don't they?

From left to right: Helena Bonham Carter (Dr Julia Hoffman, the psychiatrist...who also needs one), Chloe Moretz (Carolyn, a moody teen), Eva Green (Angelique, a witch who hates this family with a long history with Barnabas the vampire), Gulliver McGrath (David, a troubled boy who believes he sees the dead), Bella Heathcote (Victoria, the new governess), Depp (Barnabas the vampire... ancestor of this family), Ray Shirley (Mrs Johnson, the ancient maid), Jackie Earle Haley (Willie the shady groundskeeper), Jonny Lee Miller (Roger, David's father), and Michelle Pfeiffer (Elizabeth Collins Stoddard, the steely matriarch under seige by witches, family troubles, and the arrival of Barnabas).

My biggest question is...when did Michelle Pfeiffer turn into Catherine Deneuve?

Bendy Phone

It looks like this new Galaxy Skin phone might just be made out of taffy....



Samsung recently unveiled Galaxy Skin, an Android smartphone that can take on different shapes and take on even hammer blows, set for a 2012 Q2 release.

Other known specs of Galaxy Skin include 1 GB RAM; 1.2 GHz processor; 8 MP rear camera and VGA front camera with auto focus, self-portrait, stop motion, action shot, and Panorama shots; and 1500 mAh battery. Connectivity-wise, it has Bluetooth 3.0, USB 2.0, and Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n features. It will reportedly run on Android Jellybean (the next Google OS version after Ice Cream Sandwich), but there are speculations that Google will make a special version for it, namely Android Flexy.

I guess it would be easier to roll up in a ball and throw at someone.

Naomi Campbell probably has several of these on pre-order already.

Hoover

The trailer for J. Edgar, starring Leonardo DiCaprio was just released...



Clint Eastwood directed it and Dame Judy Dench plays the mother...so it's got a lot going for it already.

The only thing missing is Linda Lavin.

Then, it would be a must-see.

Boo-ya!

I love it when Ellen scares people on her show and this video highlights some of her best over the years.



My favorites are Richard Simmons, Taylor Swift and the girl who thinks someone is sneaking up on her (I must have rerun that one about 20 times...crying, CRYING from laughter!).

I'm so easily amused.

Emmy Pageant

That was my favorite moment from the Emmy's last night.

When Amy Poehler quickly ran up on stage the moment her name was announced as the first Best Actress in a Comedy nominee, followed quickly by the other nominees...I laughed so loud, I'm sure my neighbors considered calling the police.

Overall, the show was entertaining. I was glad that Modern Family and Downton Abbey won several awards (Go Maggie Smith!) and I thought Jane Lynch did a dandy job as host.

Here is her big opening number if you missed it..

Nailed it

I'm intrigued and grossed out by this....

Yesterday Guinness World Records named Chris Walton of Las Vegas the woman with the world's longest fingernails. Her nails measure 10-feet-2-inches on her left hand and 9-feet-7-inches on her right hand.

Wiping can't be easy....

They do it

The new trailer is out for Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 1 and it looks like there is a wedding AND a baby on the way...



It also looks like those dingos want to take her baby.

Crickey!
