Kristen Stewart as Martine in "The Yellow Handkerchief" (2008), directed by Udayan Prasad. This film was released at Sundance Film Festival on 18th January 2008 and at San Francisco International Film Festival, on 2nd May, 2008. "Twilighters in need of a fix before Stephenie Meyer’s blockbuster sequel New Moon arrives in theaters thought they needed to wait until March 27 to see Rob Pattinson and Kristen Stewart again. That’s the day their new movies open: Little Ashes (Rob’s, a Salvador Dalí biopic) and Adventureland (Kristen’s, an ’80s comedy.) But it turns out fans can see their Twilight favorites much sooner. On March 17 Little, Brown will publish the detailed on-set journal that Twilight director Catherine Hardwicke kept throughout filming. Hardwicke has given EW an exclusive first peek at Twilight: Director’s Notebook, which looks less like a diary than a scrapbook, studded with drawings, makeup and wardrobe notes, storyboards, lists, sketches, photos, and all kinds of oddnuggets of information (did you know Rob was first tricked out with hair extensions to give him his trademark look)?"

5. Emma: Perhaps one of the best movies to watch when one is listlessly sick at home, Emma appeals to a wide range of people other than the infirm. Though lovers of authenticity may question certain aspects of this version, the truth is that making a good period piece is difficult at best, and downright impossible to please at worst. This version strikes some pleasant high notes, with the inclusion of the surprising Toni Collette, as well as Paltrow's ever-affable Emma. Emma is concerned with playing matchmaker to those around her, and a comedy of errors ensues after she herself falls in love. In typical Austen fashion, sardonic charm and grace abound amidst the flowery language and luxurious sets, and one finds plenty to love despite the obvious shortcomings.4. Shakespeare in Love: At her best when playing radiantly beautiful, Paltrow's bashful charms are on full display here, and wholly utilized in her brash role as a woman working within the confines of Elizabethan England. Playing muse to a stymied Shakespeare, Paltrow shines in her attempts to break social barriers, and the film is charming in that so many small events found their way into the Bard's tales. There's something to be said for opulent filmmaking, and surprisingly, critics and audiences were in full agreement as the film garnered thirteen Oscar nominations as well as making bank at the box office.3. Se7en: Another wrenching performance, as Paltrow plays sweet and diffident homemaker to Brad Pitt's street-wise, impatient, but loving, homicide cop. Paltrow exists to provide insight into Pitt's harsher character, as Morgan Freeman and Pitt build a case against an errant serial killer. Gentle and unassuming, she is held up as a mirror to everyone who's ever moved to a new city to pursue someone else's dreams, caught halfway between the old life and the new. Though she's not featured in the film extensively, it is through her looking glass that Pitt is called into sharp relief, and this sets the tone for the exhausting and harrowing ending. 2. The Royal Tenenbaums: Cherishing her ability to play sullen and surly, through the eyes of Paltrow we meet the dysfunctional Margot Tenenbaum, who hasn't felt emotions for years. Margot finds herself tied up in a loveless marriage, kept at arms length from her family, and passively moving from situation to situation without any real connection to people or places. It is only near the end of the film, when faced with the possibility of losing the one person she has ever cared for, that Margot breaks down and the effects of such loss are palpable. Paltrow plays the role utterly aloof, and nearly unrecognizable from her usual casually beautiful self, brimming with good will and charm for all. Such a departure is satisfying, as one wants to see actors and actresses change over time, and being a part of the Tenenbaums was definitely different in every way.1. Proof: As a mathematically gifted young woman who, not only lost recently lost her father, but may also be losing her mind, Paltrow is heartbreaking in her fragility. When authorship of a very important mathematical proof is called into question, she is left to defend herself as an unknown in a world where nearly everyone is against her, including a well-meaning sister and even her own psyche.
"While this film isn't as popular as the others, Paltrow turns in a tight performance, starkly frightened by the very real possibility that all she has loved will be taken from her. Jake Gyllenhaal falls into place amiably as a fellow mathematician investigating the elegant mathematical proof, and it is through his gentle prodding and support that Paltrow finds herself, as well as the truth of her father's life and work. For a film that deals with longstanding familial drama as well as the complexities of paranoia, disbelief and acceptance, the potential for disaster is always high. Yet, Proof falls squarely in the hands of the capable Paltrow, and it is unconditionally one of her best performances". Source: www.film.com
"Last month, Dazed Digital showed the trailer to Francesco Vezzoli's project Greed, a faux ad campaign for an imagined perfume. Directed by Roman Polanski and featuring Natalie Portman and Michelle Williams embroiled in a fierce battle over the fanciful scent, the spurious campaign attempts to isolate and imitate the hype created by the promotion of a new luxury product in the mass market. The premiere of the final film is being shown at the Gagosian Gallery in Rome tonight and DazedDigital are exclusively screening it online". Watch the video in dazeddigital.com
"Over the decades, gay cinema has reflected the community's journey from persecution to emancipation to acceptance. Politicized dramas like Victim in the 1960s, The Naked Civil Servant in the 1970s, and the AIDS cinema of the 1980s have given way in recent years to films which celebrate a vast array of gay lifestyles. Gay films have undergone a major shift from the fringe to the mainstream—2005’s Academy Awards were dubbed "the gay Oscars" with statues going to Brokeback Mountain, Capote, and Transamerica. Producers began clamoring to back gay-themed movies and the most high profile of these is Gus Van Sant’s forthcoming Milk, starring Sean Penn as Harvey Milk, the first prominent American political figure to be elected to office on an openly gay ticket back in the 1970s. The book also covers gay filmmakers and actors and their influence within the industry, the most iconic scenes from gay cinema, and the most memorable dialogue from key films".Source: astore.amazon.com

The official trailer for Darren Aronofsky's new film The Wrestler, starring Mickey Rourke, Marisa Tomei and Evan Rachel Wood:
Director Darren Aronofsky presents a powerful portrait of a battered dreamer, who despite himself and the odds stacked against him, lives to be a hero once again in the only place he considers home inside the ring.
This is an old interview to Shia Labeouf by "Stumped Magazine" in 2007, but it brought on Shia's skills giving his particular "young stars" list and how he perceived himself part of the talented crème of young cinema blood:
LABEOUF: Exactly, so it’s not the same for me and Joe. Me and Joe aren’t personalities, so it’s different. Joseph Gordon-Levitt is an actor’s actor. He’s an actor, but he’s darker at this point in his career and his choices and his path than I am.
CHRIS NEUMER: Are you just saying that because he’s played gay prostitutes and severe manic-depressives who need to be hospitalized? That’s a bold statement!
SHIA LABEOUF: It’s just different choices; you can’t put Joseph in a type. He’s an actor, but you can’t type him, which means he’s going to have longevity if he keeps that up.
SHIA LABEOUF: Right, again, there’s five of us, Joe, Me, Emile Hirsch, Jamie Bell, there’s a good group of actors. The fifth would be [inaudible]. He would be the fifth; and we all go for the same stuff. We chase the same stuff. It’s competitive as hell. [note: I have no idea who LaBeouf is referencing here as the fifth actor. It sounds like "Michael Air-uh-gan-oh"Michael Angarano. Source: stumpedmagazine.com
"While Reese Witherspoon no doubt enjoyed a Valentine's gift or two from Jake Gyllenhaal, the Hollywood actress can look forward to an even more romantic treat. Mandrake hears that the couple, who did not confirm that they were a couple until November, are to be taken on a romantic holiday to Egypt amid rumours that Gyllenhaal may be planning to propose"."I was asked to organise the trip for Reese Witherspoon and her boyfriend", said Geoffrey Kent, the founder of Abercrombie & Kent, at the opening of the company's private travel office at Harrods. "They will go everywhere by private jet and cram as much as possible in. That means Luxor, the Pyramids and possibly a private viewing of the newly discovered Saqqara mummy. They are going to stay in the best hotels and the idea is that it will be quite an experience."
Gyllenhaal, 28, lived in Notting Hill with Miss Witherspoon, 32, while filming Prince of Persia. His only distraction was, as I disclosed last August, that he was the subject of a "stalker alert" at Ealing Studios after a note praising him as an object of romantic passion was slipped under a trailer door.
The woman who was working at Ealing at the same time as the actor is said to have been banned from the celebrated studios for life after expressing her feelings for him.
The woman, who was believed to have been an employee of Slingshot productions, posted a Mills & Boon-type note on the wall in her office praising Gyllenhaal as an object of romantic passion". Source: www.telegraph.co.uk
"She says, What do you call love well I call it Harry Oh, please I'm being serious what do you call love Well I don't call it family and I don't call it lust and as we all know marriage isn't a must And I suppose in the end, it's a matter of trust if I had to I'd call love time She says, What do you call love can't you be more specific What do you call love is it more than the heart's hieroglyphic Well for me time has no meaning, no future, no past and when you're in love, you don't have to ask There's never enough time to hold love in your grasp turning time around Turning time around that is what love is Turning time around yes, that is what love is My time is your time when you're in love and time is what you never have enough of You can't see or hold it, it's exactly like love Turning time around turning time around Turning time around turning time around Turning time around well I gotta have it I gotta-gotta-gotta have it Turning, turning time around gotta have it, turning time around Turning, turning time around turning time around"
