Flick of the Day

Film: RED
Director: Robert Schwentke
Actors: Bruce Willis, Mary Louise Parker, Morgan Freeman, Helen Mirren, John Malkovich, Karl Urban, Brian Cox, Richard Dreyfus, Julian McMahon
Year: 2010

Synopsis: Retired members of the CIA begin to be assassinated.



What a rush. Aging bad-asses Helen Mirren, Morgan Freeman, John Malkovich, Brian Cox, and Bruce Willis are awesome in this witty, original action flick. Mirren and a hilarious Malkovich stand out in a phenomenal cast (even Bruce Willis, who is typically blah). Get you butt in gear and check this film out immediately.

Flick of the Day

Film: GOSFORD PARK
Director: Robert Altman
Actors: Helen Mirren, Maggie Smith, Kristin Scott Thomas, Camilla Rutherford, Charles Dance, Tom Hollander, Jeremy Northam, Bob Balaban, Clive Owen, Kelly Macdonald, Ryan Phillippe, Emily Watson, Richard E. Grant, Alan Bates, Michael Gambon, Stephen Fry
Year: 2001

Synopsis: A look at the difference between the upper and working classes in early 20th century England.



One of Robert Altman's last films, and definitely one of his best, "Gosford Park" delves into the complicated relationships and inner workings of an English upper crust household in the 1930s. The upper class (led by Kristin Scott Thomas and Michael Gambon) live their lives without much notice of their servants (led by Helen Mirren and Derek Jacobi). It's an amazing cast and an amazing story in typical Robert Altman style. Well worth a watch or two.

Best Dressed - 2011 Academy Awards

Trends of the Evening: sequins (Amy, Hailee, Michelle, Mandy, Hilary, Halle), purples (Mila, Cate, Natalie, Scarlett), reds (Penelope, Jennifer, Sandra), emerald accessories (Reese, Amy, Annette), highlights (Penelope, Natalie, Anne, Mila), and bobs (Scarlett, Marisa, Michelle, Cate, Helen)



BEST OVERALL LOOK:

Michelle Williams (is the #1 look of the night with this beautiful sequins dress and fabulous short 'do), Jennifer Lawrence (after a terrible looking awards season, Lawrence nailed the show that really counts. She took Scarlett's look from the Globes a few years back and made it better), Reese Witherspoon (tones down the classic Barbie look and makes it her own. She looks so chic)



BEST DRESS:

Mila Kunis (she doesn't like to play it safe and it finally paid off. She looks perfect in this lilac number. The color goes so well with her olive skin), Natalie Portman (it's hard to find a great dress when you're pregnant, but Natalie picked the right one with this beautiful, flowy Rodarte gown)

Sandra Bullock (she hasn't worked in a year and a half, but she sure knows how to wear a great dress), Melissa Leo (I know many would disagree, but I love this dress. The cut works so well on Melissa's body and apparently the crochet look is in), Jennifer Hudson (try and pull your eyes away from that disgusting hair for a minute and take a look at this incredible dress. It shows off all of Jennifer's curves and the color looks great on her skin)



BEST HAIR:

Cate Blanchett (this is a wonderful cut for her. She looks gorgeous), Helen Mirren (she goes with a young, chic bob and it looks fabulous on her)

Scarlett Johansson (I know it's messy, but I love that she went back to her "Lost in Translation" color and it just works on her), Marisa Tomei (she did the cleaner version of Scarlett's hair and I think it looks great. Can you believe this lady is nearly 50?)



WORST OVERALL LOOK:

Sharon Stone (I don't know if it's the Snooki-poof or the homage to "Black Swan", but Sharon... I'm very disappointed. I expected more from you), Florence Welch (I only learned who this girl was a few weeks ago at the Grammy's, but she is obviously an odd-ball. She's wearing curtains), Helena Bonham Carter (our list wouldn't be complete without our favorite Queen of Bad. Keep on keeping on, Helena)



WORST DRESS:

Nicole Kidman (this is just so hideous. I don't know what Kidman has been thinking. I have heard of something called 'mommy brain', so maybe that explains it), Marisa Tomei (in some shots this doesn't look so bad, but you can see for yourself that this gown is horrid.), Cate Blanchett (I was on the fence about this one. Overall, I think Cate looks marvelous, but the dress by itself is so weird. She looks like a vanity table)



WORST HAIR:

Jennifer Hudson (and the #1 worst hair of the evening goes to the one who wore the terrible hairpiece/wig. I am so confused with this one. Jennifer looked stunning at the Grammy's... why would she go this route for the Oscars?)

Mila Kunis (I'm so sick of these stiff, odd 'dos. Mila should have learned from Kate Winslet's Oscar mistake. Don't wear a football helmet to the Oscars), Natalie Portman (I know that she's pregnant and probably very tired, but the half-assed style is not cutting it. You won an Oscar honey, kick it up a notch)

Hailee Steinfeld (She's completely adorable and I know she's only 14, but this isn't the prom. Ditch the headband and let your beautiful hair down), Amy Adams (so at this point in the evening, Amy's hair wasn't so bad. Fast forward to her presenting and you will see why this didn't work. It was messy and got very frizzy. Plus with that semi-high collar, she should have gone with an up 'do)



HONORABLE MENTION:

Penelope Cruz (This dress is pretty, but it treads a little too close to Vegas showgirl. She looks fabulous though, especially considering she had a baby a few weeks ago), Helen Mirren (Dame Helen never disappoints. She would have made best overall, but I'm not feeling the color of the gown), Scarlett Johansson (I love this. The cut of the dress is spectacular and she went with a crochet look, much like Melissa Leo. I'm not too excited about the color and the fact that you can kind of see through it. Cameron Diaz should take a note from her. This is how you do the messy 'do),

Gwyneth Paltrow (despite her heinous performance, she started out the night well. I like this simple, gold gown. She is sort of channeling Sandra Bullock from last year's Oscars though), Amy Adams (I like the dress a lot. Love that cut and the sequins. I hate her hair and the fact that she added the emerald necklace and bracelet. It clashes and why do you need jewelry with a sparkling gown such as this), Halle Berry (beautiful as always, but the bottom of the dress is yuck. She should have gone sans tulle)
