She’s in a supporting role, the wife of the main character in “The Butler”. This is Oprah’s first major acting gig after the Color Purple in 1985. The story and trailer are fascinating, and I hope the movie turns out as good.

A UK company doing a movie for England’s Channel 4 wants to use this video of mine in their movie. That’s like insanely awesome!! Wickedly awesome!!
The movie’s about the UK if a power outage ever occurs on a grand scale there. Kinda like the tv show “Revolution” I guess. Whatever the story is, I am super duper giddy about it. I haven’t been excited about my blog in so long, so this truly is like the best news I’ve heard in a long time.
This isn’t the first time one of my stuff is shown internationally. These two pics grace the cd album art of the Boston Philharmonic Orchestra, for one of their Mozart performances.
I’m just lovin’ this!

The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald is one of America’s top 20th century novels, described as the epitome of American Literature. The character of Mr. Gatsby is the perfection of the cool, always poised, never phased rich men of leisure.
The novel is a great short read, and is set in the roaring 20′s when extravagant parties and spending was at its widest. The trailer makes the novel look more dramatic and fast-paced than it really is, but it also makes the novel look even more fantastic. If you haven’t read the novel yet, then try to read it before the movie comes out next month.

This is probably one of the most fascinating bids on Kickstarter. Chip in if you want to a Veronica Mars movie to happen. You can also bid for a speaking line in the movie, for just $10,000 [link].
Kickstarter is a site to find funding for new projects and companies. The site is funded by regular everyday people. If they like a project or product, then they invest tiny amounts in it, usually for tiny gifts like t-shirts or the chance to buy the product when it finally gets made.
This is the first time a Hollywood movie is pitched. That’s what makes it one of the most interesting bids on the site. It’s already raised more than $2.5 million, in less than a day. 29 days more to go, and they only needed $2 million to convince Warner Bros. that people really want a Veronica Mars movie.

The Iranian government is planning to sue Hollywood over Oscar-winning Argo, because they say the film is an “unrealistic portrayal” of their country, state media reported Tuesday.
According to an Associated Press report, several Iranian news outlets, including the more liberal leaning Shargh Daily, said on Tuesday that French lawyer Isabelle Coutant-Peyre is in the country discussing with officials how they might go about filing the lawsuit. Whether Warner Bros., Ben Affleck or other parties associated with the film would be the target of such a suit has not yet been made clear.
The AP says the government’s decision to explore litigation comes after a group of Iranian cultural officials and movie critics screened the film for a closed audience at a Tehran theater late Monday.
After Argo won best picture at the 2013 Oscars in February, hard-line Iranian state media was awash with criticism – taking particular umbrage at the fact that first lady Michelle Obama presented the award.
“In a rare occasion in Oscar history, the first lady announced the winner for Best Picture for the anti-Iran film Argo, which is produced by the Zionist company Warner Bros,” Fars News said at the time. [source]
Argo is this year’s Oscar winner for best picture. Its story is about the rescue of American diplomatic hostages during the 1979 hostage crises.
Let’s hope the Iranians don’t win this ridiculous case. 50 diplomatic hostages were captured from the American Embassy in Iran and held captive for a year and a half between ’79-’81. Argo tells the story of how some of them were rescued (with the help of the Canadian and British embassies in Iran), by pretending to make an American movie in Iran as a decoy plot to rescue the hostages.

I missed the moment Jennifer Lawrence fell at the Oscars last night. I was busy tweeting about her win, that I just completely missed it. I heard her speech about the standing ovation, and thought it was cute and humble of her to acknowledge them standing up. Little did I know they did that because she embarrassingly fell down.
Her fall was graceful and her acceptance was humble. That’s one great actress right there. So glad she won.
Another great video is of Jack Nicholson flirting with her after the Oscars. That was priceless, check it out [here].

Warm Bodies tops the box-office after a week of release in the US. It’s one of the nicest and funniest movies, despite its Zombie backstory. Such a lovely and lighthearted movie, really pleasant to watch.
The movies is based on bestselling novel. The novel, just like the movie, is lighthearted and funny. This is the link to the [book] on amazon.

The movie Zero Dark Thirty (about the hunt and capture of Osama Bin Laden) has been banned in Kuwait.
I’ve already seen the uncut version of the movie so I have a fairly good idea why the movie was banned. Now keep in mind that I personally have a semi-wide open mind of my country, so I’m not so easily offended by foreign (and less than ideal) depiction of it in movies. That been said, I do hope what I have to offer carries some weight as to why I think the movie was banned.
The culprit scenario goes like this, as in it goes in either one of those two scenarios:
There you have it, my two cents about why the movie was banned in Kuwait.
All said and done, it was a fine cinematic movie (and so deserving of its 5 Oscar nominations) though albeit a bit unbelievable, especially after witnessing the less-than-believable Kuwaiti scene.
Anyways, here’s the official trailer to the movie:

Ever since I got to the states, there basically wasn’t much here that I haven’t seen or done before. But while reading a magazine, I found out that they still have drive-in movies. Now that is something I definitely want to do. I haven’t been to one in forever, and the kids haven’t ever seen one. This is on my must-do list. Finally, something fun and unique to do.

Tina Fey and Amy Poehler both presented this year’s Golden Globe awards ceremony. They were funny and witty, and totally entertained the crowd. Ricky Gervaise’s usual offensive comedic GG presentation was not missed at all, he had hosted it the past two years [here and here].
