I‘ve fallen in love twice in my life. The first time, I was a young teen and it was a silly, messy, dramatic, wonderful, exciting and ultimately painful experience. The second time is deeper and means more, it’s constantly exciting and takes over every inch of me, my life, my future. And while both of these two events have affected my life, they couldn’t be more different. The only thing that both times have in common is that insane, whirlwind, obsessive beginning. The times when you figuratively and physically feel around each other, you work each other out - that need to touch, the urge to know everything about the other person, to probe their brain and eat up every word they utter.

To kick off the opening of their new movie, (500) Days of Summer in the US yesterday, Zooey Deschanel - our offical Culch.ie crush (!) - and Joseph Gordon-Levitt of Third Rock from the Sun fame, strut their stuff in this exclusive bank heist/movie musical homage. Bank teller (Zooey) has her heart as well as lots of cash stolen from the bank she works in by an armed robber (Joseph). The movie itself (not to be confused with the plot of the short at all) is a romantic comedy about a man who falls for a woman who doesn’t believe in love. Tom (Gordon-Levitt) and Summer (Deschanel) work together and discover that they have lots of thing in common such as a love for the music of The Smiths.

Firstly, come join us next Thursday in Cineworld to see Jason Statham’s latest actioner, Crank 2: High Voltage. Sure, it’ll be a larf. Robert Rodriguez is revisiting the Grindhouse. He is making a movie out of the fake trailer Machete. Danny Trejo will reprise his role in what will undoubtedly be a gore fest. Rodriguez has also announced that he will be resurrecting the Predator franchise. He is going to make a prequel to the first Schwarzenegger movie called Predators. In Rodriguez’ hands, I’d be confident that we’ll get a great movie. But before all of that, Mr Rodriguez will be bringing out Neverackers, a futuristic thriller where a utopian society is disrupted by rebellion and a special team is formed to handle the crime wave. He’s a busy man. Denzel Washington is reteaming with Tony Scott again (and The Taking of Pelham 123 hasn’t even been released yet) for … There’s more →
