"No Right Turn" in DVD
David Noel Bourke's NO RIGHT TURN Officially on DVD from December 22 2009! www.LastExitProductions.dk
"No Right Turn is a quirky drama from Denmark. The film has a lot going for it, mostly thanks to director David Noel Bourke, who crafts a fascinating and unique vision of betrayal, drug use, and sexual energy. The film is tough to categorize, and it definitely has an arthouse feel throughout. I suppose the best way to describe it is as a combination of David Lynch and Dario Argento as it combines the subtle, dangerous feel of the best Argento gialli with the often bizarre and sexually free nature of a Lynch film.The film is about a beautiful woman named Nina. Nina is a hooker who lives with her deadbeat boyfriend named Johnny, a drug-fueled dreamer who is wasting his life away. However Nina wants more in life, and her methods for obtaining more are manipulative, sexy, and mysterious. Director David Noel Bourke has crafted an excellent film. Each scene is set up with a solid eye for imagery. In Bourke’s world, a simple bath is a chance to craft a memorable scene. There are a variety of killer moments in the film, and each scene feels like a piece of art, often infused with the subtle smoldering of the characters who are each complex and mysterious in their own ways. There are a few pacing problems here and there, but for the most part, Burke keeps the film moving at a solid pace. But the best part of the film might be the performances that Burke culls from his actors.
Laura Bach is the straw that stirs the drink of No Right Turn. She is a beautiful and dangerous femme, capable of getting raped, and yet still seeming as if she is in total control". Source: www.moviecynics.com

Zombieland featurette - Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg and Emma Stone.
Columbus or Tallahassee?
1 – "At the end of the movie, it’s the hero versus the villain over stakes. Very close, but I’d go with Columbus. He clashes most directly with the zombies over the stakes characters (Wichita and Little Rock).
2 – The hero changes the most from the start to the finish. I’m still undecided on this one. Perhaps Tallahassee, by a hair.
3 – The hero is like the villain, but with a moral centre. Definitely Tallahassee. Zombies destroy without reason, love blood and guts, and have one-track minds (brains!). What’s Tallahassee like? He destroys without reason, loves blood and guts, and has a one-track mind (twinkies!). The only difference between the two, apart from a pulse, is that Tallahassee has a moral centre.
4 – The hero drives the action. Again very close, but I’d say Columbus makes most of the decisions. (Notably, to save the girls from the amusement park).
5 - The hero is willing to sacrifice the most in Act 3. Tallahassee has something of a death-wish, and killing zombies is what he lives for. Columbus on the other hand hates danger, and has to face his worst nightmare – the clown zombie. I’d say Columbus.
In my book, Columbus emerges as the main character, but that doesn’t mean that Tallahassee’s character isn’t developed enough that he couldn’t be". Source: contour-at-the-movies.com
Jake Gyllenhaal and Reese Witherspoon on the set of 'Nailed' In Columbia, South Carolina, May 2009.
"Catawba County grandmother Joan Schuermeyer woke up beside heartthrob Jake Gyllenhaal last year.
The 67-year-old was working as an extra when she fell asleep on the set of "Nailed", a big-name production with money problems that kept it out of theaters.
Stars Gyllenhaal, Tracy Morgan and Paul Reubens posed around the sleeping senior actress for a funny photo. Reubens (better known as Pee-wee Herman) was nice enough to e-mail Schuermeyer a copy.
Schuermeyer scored about three seconds in the official trailer for "Zombieland," a Woody Harrelson horror-meets-comedy flick due out Oct. 9. She's the gray-haired woman who drops a baby grand piano on a zombie in pursuit.The retired day-care owner and substitute teacher got another taste of celebrity in "Halloween II," set to open Friday. A casting agent with the movie called her after seeing Schuermeyer in "Zombieland."In a photo she took with director, producer, writer and heavy metal musician Rob Zombie, she has bloodied eyes courtesy of a makeup artist".

Taylor Lautner Talks About Valentine's Day Movie
"Remember me" premiere in New York on 1st March
New promotional still of Robert Pattinson in "Remember Me".
"There has been a lot of Internet speculation about the premiere of “Remember Me” starring Robert Pattinson, Emilie de Ravin, and Pierce Brosnan.
Emilie de Ravin takes a break on the set of Remember Me in New York City, on 9th July 2009.
Gossip Cop is told that the stars will walk the red carpet in New York on March 1.
“Remember Me” opens nationwide on March 12.
Generally, premieres are closer to the film’s release date, but because Pattinson is working on “Bel Ami” in Europe and can’t go back and forth, “Remember Me” will have it’s big red carpet at the same time he’s doing its press junket in the Big Apple". Source: www.gossipcop.com

R.I.P. J.D. Salinger, Reclusive Literary Icon
J.D. Salinger, the enigmatic American author best known for his classic novel "Catcher in the Rye" died Thursday at the age of 91.
Jake Gyllenhaal as Tom (who calls himself Holden in honor of Holden Caulfield) in "The Good Girl" (2002).
"It’s been the dream of many a producer — and perhaps the nightmare of many a faithful reader — that J. D. Salinger’s novel “The Catcher in the Rye” might someday be translated to another medium. Mr. Salinger considered a stage version of the novel in which he himself would play its teenage protagonist, Holden Caulfield. That (mercifully) never happened; nor did offers for film adaptations from Billy Wilder, Elia Kazan, Steven Spielberg and Harvey Weinstein, all of which the author summarily turned down.
"I keep saying this and nobody seems to agree, but “The Catcher in the Rye” is a very novelistic novel. There are readymade “scenes” — only a fool would deny that — but, for me, the weight of the book is in the narrator’s voice, the non-stop peculiarities of it, his personal, extremely discriminating attitude to his reader-listener, his asides about gasoline rainbows in street puddles, his philosophy or way of looking at cowhide suitcases and empty toothpaste cartons - in a word, his thoughts. He can’t legitimately be separated from his own first-person technique. True, if the separation is forcibly made, there is enough material left over for something called an Exciting (or maybe just Interesting) Evening in the Theater. But I find that idea if not odious, at least odious enough to keep me from selling the rights". Source: artsbeat.blogs.nytimes
