He's Just Not That Into You - THE TRUTH

(Image: He's Just Not That into you: www.impawards.com)

I know I’m a little late to watch this film, but never the less He’s Just Not That Into You needs to be watched by the world. It’s not that it’s the most hilarious film or action packed film for that matter. However, this film simply tells the truth about them crusty lines women say to men, and indeed men say to women. The TRUTH about relationships is aired for our cinematic pleasure in all its ugliness. There are so many lines in He’s Just Not That Into You that would have both sexes saying, “I’ve used that line before”, “I’ve heard that before...” tut tut

The message is clear, but I’m going to reiterate...

Stop trying to convince yourself of nonsense. If the man once called you regularly and all of a sudden ceases to do so, don’t stalk him down. If she tells you she’s got a boyfriend, she DOESN’T want you be a new ‘friend’instead. If you’re the one doing the chasing, turn around and see who the hell is chasing you!!!! No one right? Move on mate!

I think you get my point. It’s time to read the signs people, especially us ladies – read the signs...
Arhhhhh....

Oh, and I know it’s easy to do in this day and age, but it is important not to depend on every piece of technology going as a means of communication between the opposite sex. It’s all nonsense...

Exhibit A from the He’s Just Not That Into You:

Mary (Drew Barrymore): I had this guy leave me a voicemail at work, so I called him at home, and then he emailed me to my BlackBerry, and so I texted to his cell, and now you just have to go around checking all these different portals just to get rejected by seven different technologies.
It’s exhausting!

Indeed Mary, indeed. Keep it simple.

Joaquin Phoenix crazy TV antics

Joaquin Phoenix of the 'Walk the Line' fame is straaaaaaaaaangeeee!!!

He appeared on the David Letterman show in the US to promote his film, "Two Lovers," and it was like someone forced him to be there. His responses to Letterman's question were ridiculous.

Apparently, he wants to finish with acting and go into Hip Hop? I'm going to pray for him because his behaviour is highly questionable - boarding on a publicity stunt.

What's it all about?

Halle Berry is definitely shaving her hair

The rumours are true, Halle Berry is to shave all her hair for her new movie rom- com, 'Nappily Ever After.'

The stunner told US Magazine Essence: "I'm shaving it off! I know. Here comes the controversy, but... it'll grow back - I hope!" She added that she wants her 11 month daughter, Nahla to be proud of her film choices, and know that her mummy never sold out.

I get that! But all of her hair gone? That's a bit much innit?

But to be honest, if anyone can rock a bald head it would have to be Halle Berry.

Nortorious: "It was all a dream..."

The largely anticipated Notorious film is coming to London on 13th Friday and I managed to cop a look at a early release.

Jamal Woolard's depiction of "Biggie" is done quite well - the rapping, his swagger and his general chit chat is on point. The film deals with Biggie's drug dealing, love of Hip - Hop and his relationship with Diddy, 2 Pac, Faith, Lil Kim and his mother.

Derek Luke who plays Diddy, had the Hip Hop moguls moves down to a T - he talks like Diddy and dances like Diddy which is funny to watch.

Although, I tell you what's shocking - Naturi Naughton who plays Lil Kim. For those of you who don't know Naturi, she was the girl who was kicked out of the R'n'B group, 3LW. Let's just say that she doesn't leave anything to the imagination. Now, I am not a prude, but for your first feature film, I think it would have been more tasteful to tone down the sex scene...I mean oh my days, it was short but she was going for it...

All in all, the film won't be getting any Oscars, but it is definitely worth a look and the tap of the toes to Nortorious B.I.G best tracks.

Film to watch: The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

(Trailer: The Curious Case of Benjamin Button)

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, directed by David Fincher is a Go See...lessons are learned, harsh experiences are lived, love blossoms and deaths occur.

No, it's not all doom and gloom people. The film has one of the most surreal, and yet intimately romantic story lines I have seen in a long while, which is only a few reasons why it is a 'Go See' film.

Not to give it all away, but Benjamin Button (Brad Pitt) is born old, and in turn, grows younger, which i might add, is very strange to watch. Button's biological mother died while giving birth to him, and his father dashed him away like a dirty tissue on a windy day...(OK! a little dramatic but when you see the film, you'll see what I mean - it is heart breaking.)

Anyway, Button's life proceeded to go backwards, while everyone's life around him is moving forwards. He tries to live a normal life with the love of a woman he saw as his mother , Queenie (Taraji P. Henson), and Daisy (Cate Blanchett) the girl who was soon to become the love of his life.

But for all of his problems, he certainly found time to have quite a few sexual endeavours.

What's really interesting is you get to witness the transition of Button looking wrinkly and dishevelled, to him gaining the look of the celebrity stunner, that we know as Brad Pitt. All the while, Button (with his initial old appearance) is socialising with a girl (who at the time) is young enough to be his great great great grand daughter, and yet mentally, they are more or less the same age.

Now, what's is unfortunate about the film is you feel like you want to know a bit more about Button's disease but forget it! You're left in suspense. I believe what's supposed to spring to mind as we are watching the film are a mans growth, the challenges he faces and his heartbreak, as oppose to "Err??? How the hell did he catch that?"

All in all, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is a touching film with a funny undertone, which will offer enough oohs and arhhs to keep you well entertained.

Oh! Quick warning, the film is just shy of three hours, yes three, but well worth the watch.
