'Orphan' resembles 'The Good Son'

I was at the mall last week and saw a poster of this film "Orphan." And, of course, being me, I was intrigued with the odd-looking girl at the poster. I immediately searched it on the internet and watched the trailer. I realized later that it resembled one of the early films of Macaulay Culkin, alongside Elijah Wood, "The Good Son" (1993).

If you've already seen The Good Son, then you'd know that Culkin plays a sociopath kid whose ideas of fun include cruelty and violence. Kinda same for Orphan since the foster child was kind of creepy and does terrible things to other people.

I'm kind of interested in watching it, but I'd rather wait for it to be released on DVD.

P.S.: I think the girl who plays Esther is really pretty. Haha.

(500) Days of Summer!

I know summer is over here but what I'm talking about is the new film titled "(500) Days of Summer." It stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt (I remember him clearly as the guy in Angels in the Outfield because I like that movie) and Zooey Deschanel (I loved her the first time I saw her and not to mention she does look like Katy Perry).

Writer/director Marc Webb (before this, best known for the Green Day video "Waiting") hits some homeruns, especially in casting: The chemistry is palpable between Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel. Deschanel, with her luminous eyes and oddly gorgeous face, is a heroine you don't mind looking at forever.

Gordon-Levitt plays a onetime aspiring architect who has settled for a job writing platitudes in graduation and Bar Mitzvah cards, when Deschanel joins the office. After they meet, he is convinced that Deschanel is "the One," whereas she doesn't believe in that kind of stuff and just wants to keep it casual. So begins a relationship that seemingly consists of effervescent visits to Ikea, breakups in diners and occasional indie-movie sex scenes - all is going swimmingly, until it's not.

But (500) Days of Summer is a self-professed "anti-love story," so it's important not to walk into it expecting a summer-love story, or at least, not one that lasts. But what it does offer is an original and expressive tale of a love affair from beginning to (possible) end - the oldest story in the movies, and one that renews itself time after time, just like love. (500) Days of Summer is an easy, breezy version of that, mostly getting you where it counts, and lingering fittingly.

One way or another, I cannot wait to see it! Just by looking at the trailer, I already see the good chemistry between Deschanel and Gordon-Levitt.

Rupert Grint: I want someone who's weird

Rupert Grint has confirmed he has never been in love. (YES! *ahem*)

'I've never been seriously involved with anyone,' says Rupert.

'I've certainly never been in love. I've always preferred to keep things casual. I don't feel the need to have a girlfriend.'

Rupert, 20, admits he's picky when it comes to finding the perfect partner.

'I tend not to go for the very pretty ones,' he tells Live.

'I prefer the quirkier types, the ones who are a little weird.'

I'm perfect! I'm weird! :)

College for Emma Watson

Emma Watson, who is most known as the brainy Hermione Granger in the Potter series, has confirmed that she will be attending Brown University in the United States. "I've got a place there to read literature," the 19-year-old actress told Paste Magazine. Watson, who must be every bit the striving brainiac that her alter ego Hermione Granger is, toured the Ivy League school this past fall. She reportedly Yale and Columbia universities in the US and the University of Cambridge across the pond before choosing Brown.

Congratulations Emma!

Jamie Campbell Bower joins 'Twilight' & 'Harry Potter'

This is unbelievable.

Bower, who played Anthony in one of my favorite films, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, has set to star in the next Twilight movie, New Moon, and the 2 last Harry Potter films as the younger version of Grindelwald.

I just got super excited after hearing this since I became a fan of Jamie after starring in Sweeney. I think he has an amazing voice and he has a neck for acting. I hope he goes a long way. He attended Bedales and is a former member of the National Youth Music Theatre. He began his professional career when his friend, Laura Michelle Kelly, who also stars in Sweeney, introduced him to her agent. In addition to acting, he is also the lead singer of a band 'The Darling Buds.'

My only problem is, I don't read Twilight. I haven't even seen the movie yet 'cause I became so uninterested in it. But now that he's included in the cast, I think I NEED to watch it, not because I want to. Oh well, we'll just see. Although, most probably, this isn't gonna happen. Haha.

Daniel Radcliffe has a Girlfriend!

Nooooo!

Daniel Radcliffe, also known as "The Boy Who Lived" or as we all know as Harry Potter, admitted that he has a girlfriend. He told STAR Magazine, "My girlfriend is Laura O'Toole, and she was in Equus with me, but I don't really want to talk about that, because she's not here and it's not fair. Sorry!" Dan said before that he was into older women, but no Madonna for him.

Radcliffe's costar, Rupert Grint, who plays Ron Weasley in the Harry Potter franchise, confirmed that the two are still going strong and denied the rumors about them breaking up.

Not good for me.

Johnny Depp wants to play a female lead role?

Looks like this one is true.

While promoting his new film, Public Enemies, he revealed that his dream role was to play musical legend, Carol Channing, who is best known for her role on the Broadway stage as Lorelei Lee in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. "My dream role would be to play musical legend Carol Channing in a biopic of her life. I love her, I really do. She's amazing," Depp says. "With all the digital technology available these days I could probably pull it off."

Now Depp has already played some of the most bizarre roles anyone could ever imagine, mostly thanks to long-time pal Tim Burton: Edward Scissorhands, Ed Wood, Sweeney Todd, Jack Sparrow, Willy Wonka, & The Mad Hatter in Alice in Wonderland (to be shown in 2010) just to name a few. So why not make him play a girl this time? More specifically, a 12-year-old girl.

He then adds, "I'd have a go at playing a 12-year-old girl if they asked me to."

Bravo for Johnny Depp. He's definitely one of the actors I truly, madly, and deeply adore.

Angelina Jolie got robbed

My favorite actress, the ever lovely Angelina Jolie, got her wardrobe stolen. Not to mention all those designer clothing that are worth thousands of dollars!

Reports say that the clothes were stolen from LA stylist Jennifer Rade's home this past Thursday night. It is said that Angie was having all those designer items for her future use in her promotions.

Poor Angie. But anyway, whatever she wears, even if it isn't designer clothing, she still looks stunning.

Zanessa: Not to be married yet.

Looks like Vanessa Anne Hudgens isn't ready to walk down the aisle yet with her great-looking and hottie in town, Zac Efron. Apparently, for me, it's a damn good thing!

I never liked Vanessa. She's such a . . . flirt. UGH.

According to reports, she said she's too focused with her career that walking down the aisle has never even crossed her mind.

Well, good!

I hope they break up just before their engagement.

Wake up Zac!

Brad Pitt: "Take pictures of other people's wives' butts."

The "Inglorious Basterds" star Brad Pitt on the newest issue of WIRED Magazine dishes out some bad advice, the internet, and the ever-growing technology.

If you're on twitter, then you probably know that Ashton Kutcher posted a photo of his wife Demi Moore's butt (she was wearing underwear, of course). Now Brad had something to say about this.

Don't take a picture of your wife's butt. That's silly," Pitt said. "Take pictures of other people's wives' butts."

And not that Pitt is on the market, but for those who are, Pitt suggests staying away from online dating.

"Everyone lies online," the 45-year-old actor said. "In fact, readers expect you to lie. If you don't, they'll think you make less than you actually do. So the only way to tell the truth is to lie."

The actor even gives sage advice on whether it's appropriate to be on the phone in a bathroom.

"No, you can't talk on the phone! Do you want the guy next to you to hear your entire conversation? That's why you should only text in the bathroom," he instructed. "Just be sure you don't hit the wrong button and end up putting a photo of your junk on Twitter. Trust me, you don't want those followers."

Oh man... I wish Brad was on twitter. That would be great!

Freddie Stroma is the newest Hottie in town!

Have you seen the latest Harry Potter film, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince?

Well, if you haven't, then I guess you wouldn't know who Freddie Stroma is just yet.

He's a British newcomer and is just making every girl's (and gay's) heart palpitate madly. Like mine. He plays Cormac McLaggen in the 6th HP film, a Gryffindor who tries out as their Keeper in Quidditch and has a thing for Hermione Granger (played by Emma Watson).

Although, sadly for the girls, Freddie has a girlfriend that is non-showbiz and they've been dating for some 2 and a half years now. Ouch!

You might also find it interesting that there's a video of him, circulating around the internet, dancing only in his underwear! I haven't seen it but I'll probably soon. I just don't want to extinguish the suspense just yet.

I think we'll be seeing more of Freddie in the future... I hope!
