Oscar-nominated actress, Amy Adams was shopping at The Grove today with her baby daughter and partner, Darren Le Gallow. Amy was nice enough to stop for a second to take a picture with a big fan, me 🙂
If you have not yet seen The Fighter for which Amy is nominated, don’t hesitate for a second. GO NOW! Continue reading
Mark Wahlberg admits he used to like smoking weed but gave it all up for his kids.
“One day, we were driving and you could smell it from somewhere. My daughter asked what the smell was so I told her it was a skunk. Then she said, ‘Sometimes daddy smells like that!’ to me and my wife. So I knew I had to quit.”
Mark Wahlberg takes preparation for a movie role seriously. Very seriously indeed. He wanted to look like a pro fighter for his part in The Fighter so badly, that he spent his own money training for the part. And I mean a lot of his own money.
Wahlberg told Sports Illustrated: “There are many, many boxing movies, and I love most of them. But I knew that the thing that would set us apart was if the fights looked more real, and I looked more like a boxer than anyone else who’s done it in the past.
“I spent more money paying my trainers and having them travel with me than I got paid, by a good half a million dollars,” Wahlberg continued.
I love Mark Wahlberg, so, not sure I want to watch that beautiful face of his get pummeled on screen.
But, in case you don’t mind, below is the trailer for The Fighter, based on the early years of boxer “Irish” Micky Ward and his brother who helped train him before going pro in the mid 1980s.
The Fighter is directed by David O. Russell, of Spanking the Monkey, Flirting with Disaster, Three Kings, and I Heart Huckabees.
Paramount is bringing The Fighter to limited theaters starting on December 10th with an expansion the following week. The movie also stars Amy Adams and Christian Bale.
Just when you think, “If you’ve seen one Will Ferrell movie, you’ve seen them all,” think again.
Ferrell is back! And he totally redeems himself from the flop that was Land of the Lost by giving one of his most genius performances to date.
It does help that Ferrell is partnered with hottie Mark Wahlberg who delivers a superbly-angst-ridden-yet-hilariously-gut-ripping performance. The movie is filled with fresh, sarcastic, and humorous one-liners, non-stop laughter, plenty of action, car chases, and explosions, and a complex plot with a thought-provoking political message. Just make sure you stay through the credits.
I cant’t remember the last time I laughed out this loud and this often in a movie theater. One early particular scene in the movie in which Ferrell and Wahlberg argue over whether a lion or a tuna would win in a fight against each other is so well acted and delivered that I was left gasping for air after laughing so hard. And don’t be too sure you know which would win such a fight, because Ferrell’s logic in this argument doesn’t go the way any of us could have imagined.
I watched this movie right after I saw the painfully boring Dinner for Schmucks. But that can’t be the only reason I loved this movie because the whole theater was laughing and clapping along with me, so much so, that I missed half the jokes due to the sheer volume of both. I don’t know what else to say about this movie other than “Go see it–it’s by far the best comedy of the summer.”
