"Nick & Norah"'s Infinite Playlist Trailer

"This quirky comedy is about two loners who on a whim suddenly start dating as they head off on an evening adventure through New York City. Well, that's the best I can describe quickly, because it's actually about Norah asking Nick to be her boyfriend for five minutes and the ensuing adventure when they try and leave in Nick's piece of crap car. This actually looks pretty fun so I'm not going to start picking apart the story and the cast, instead, I'll just sit back and enjoy. In actuality, Michael Cera is always great and Kat Dennings looks like she'll hold her own as well, so why not? Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist is directed by indie filmmaker Peter Sollett, of only Raising Victor Vargas previously, while the screenplay was written by newcomer Lorene Scafaria. The film is based on the novel of the same name written by Rachel Cohn and David Levithan. Sony Pictures will be releasing Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist in theaters everywhere on Octoberd 3rd".

Dreams come true

Talking about defuncted sites, you'll remember that fansite dedicated to Sarah Roemer, which was linked here with Weirdland. I hope that in the future someone constructs a new site devouted to Sarah, who thanked me personally (via email) for making my fan-videos for her.

And Sarah has not been the only actress in thanking me for my video-making skills, being Nora Zehetner

the queen of the down-to-earth stars (you know that Youtube removed some of my videos and my account twice, later my hard-drive collapsed and sadly I lost some of my most beloved videos because I hadn't made any security copy. Sigh.) Well, Nora sent me words of support (I was upset because her videos had been deleted and I had to re-upload them) but Nora was so understanding and lovely, her messages really lifted up my spirit when I was feeling so down. Thank you, Sarah and Nora!
And thank you to each musician, actor, actress, writer and director who supported me or replied me!

I hope you reach all your dreams, you know that some say "Be careful what you dream for..." but it's not applicable for me. Now I know that's is the best thing that can happen to you. You helped me when I was going through a nightmare.

"Life is never easy for those who dream”

Farewell to Wetforwent

Bye, Bye, WFW!!
I'm very sad after reading
this fellow site dedicated to Wentworth Miller is saying goodbye in these final days. I'll miss you, WFW!!

"Pineapple Express" Review

"For those of you who have seen the 1959 classic Some Like it Hot, about two men who witness a mafia killing and then flee the city disguised as women to elude their chasers, Pineapple Express tells the same tale; with the exception that the two witnesses do not flee, only try to flee, from the neighborhood where the corrupted murder took place (and not dressed as women, but as unconscious stoners). Marijuana, the drug that makes our two main characters feel good, is illegal, but no one seems to pay attention to murderers, drug lords or crooked police officers.

Multitalented director, David Gordon Green (Snow Angels) gives viewers a unique experience. He directs with an eye that dismisses the ordinary. With a budget of $25 million (reportedly Seth Rogen wanted $50 million), Green squeezes every possible nickel out as he literally directs a comedy that is both epic in its style and in its visuals. Pineapple Express lays claim to a couple of gay drug dealers, exciting car chases, a drug war between Asians and crooked cops, gun blazing standoffs, a subpoena officer, and a beautifully orchestrated opening sequence in black and white about the illegalization of marijuana. Two stoner witnesses (Seth Rogen and James Franco), along with their friend Red (Danny McBride), are caught in the thick of all of this. It would be a miracle to find all of this stuff ever again assembled on screen at the same time.Pineapple Express is produced by Judd Apatow - the recent sensation and rejuvenator of the comedy genre- as he once again disperses his patented “Apatow Touch,” which is the ability to make the male gender bond under the most uncommon of circumstances. Teaming the marijuana buyer/murder witness/subpoena giver, Dale Denton (Rogen) with the marijuana seller/doer, Saul Silver (Franco) paves the road for a succession of hilarious sequences, with some occasional dry spells, between the two as they flee from lady cops, two hit-men, a drug lord, Asians and other outrageous people who are only involved in making money. Of course it produces laughs. But we don’t realize, until after we've left the cinema, just how subtle the film’s story is. That amidst the array of pot, explosions, sex and virgins, what the team of Apatow has created is a coming of age tale".
