Sheen Signs Up For New Moon
I think this will be very good for Michael Sheen. He is a terrific actor and totally deserves to be even bigger in the public spotlight.
Frost/Nixon star Michael Sheen is to star as a bloodsucking vampire in the highly anticipated Twilight sequel.
Sheen has agreed to take on a prominent role alongside fellow Brit Robert Pattinson in New Moon, director Chris Weitz has revealed.
He will play the character Aro – the leader of an Italian vampire clan called the Volturi.
Weitz says, “Michael’s role is so important because he’s the head of all vampires. Aro is, on the surface, a very gracious and friendly vampire, but beneath that he is a tremendous threat.”
Sheen will reportedly receive $7.3 million (£5 million) for taking on the role.
Filming on New Moon is scheduled to begin in Italy this spring.

Movie Quote of the Day 18
I have not posted a movie quote for a rather long time now . . . so thought I should get back in the habit of posting them 🙂
Today’s is from “A Star is Born” with Judy Garland. This quote probably will not make any sense if you have not seen the movie
“Hello, everybody. This is Mrs. Norman Maine.”
Movie Picture of the Day 8
Just for comedy value. One of my favorite actors, from my favorite superhero franchise. The Riddler . . . in Batman Forever.
Netflix !!!
So I have signed up to Netflix and so far I am very impressed.
I am on the 1 dvd send out and unlimited online watching. I have set up quite a list so far, of movies which I have not yet seen and really want to see (providing lots of reviews, hopefully!). The first dvd I have had sent out is “I Am Sam” so I plan on watching that very soon so I can then get another dvd out.
I watched “The Way We Were” online last night and was very impressed that it is DVD quality. I also have a very long list set up of movies which I can watch online through this. Again mainly movies I have not seen, but with the odd favorite thrown in for good measures.
So I am pleased to say I will be able to now get more reviews done while enjoying watching movies again. Miss having my DVDs and Sky Movies !!!
All in all, Netflix does not seem bad value at $8.99 a month !!!
The Way We Were (1973) Review
Opposites certainly attracted when Katie meets Hubbell and they have a truly amazing romance. But their opposing political views and convictions will eventually drive them apart.

Berry Still Determined Not To Wed
I like that Halle Berry is focused and will not be forced to get married and her partner is also happy with this. I think that in this current age, it just shows that you do not have to be married to be happy.
Halle Berry has repeated her commitment never to wed again – and she’s found a man who shares her anti-marriage stance.
The actress vowed never to be anyone’s wife again after she split from her second husband Eric Benet in 2006, and she’s sticking to her promise even though she’s found love and a family with model Gabriel Aubry.
She tells the new issue of Harper’s Bazaar magazine, “I’m done. I happened to find a person who feels done too, and he’s never even been married before. So it works.”
But the 42 year old is committed to being a mum again, now baby Nahla is one.
She adds, “My pregnancy was amazing. I was happy that whole time, I felt good, I had energy, I was like Superwoman. I wish I could feel like that for the rest of my life, that’s how fantastic it was.”
Minnelli’s Plea To Garland Producers
I back this up for Liza. I think its important to remember the good side of Judy’s life and career. Focusing on what she done well, instead.
Liza Minnelli is urging filmmakers to avoid focusing on her late mother Judy Garland‘s drug addiction in an upcoming production.
Actress Anne Hathaway will be tackling The Wizard Of Oz star’s hits as part of the Weinstein Company’s planned theatre and film project, based on biographer Gerald Clarke‘s 2001 book Get Happy: The Life of Judy Garland.
Garland’s daughter Minnelli has approved of casting Hathaway in the role – but is convinced the new versions must focus on her mother’s talent instead of her well-documented personal problems.
Minnelli tells Canada’s Citytv, “Well, I love Anne Hathaway. And I hope that it’s a good movie and I hope that it’s true. You know, that they don’t just concentrate on the crap like they usually do.
“(I hope) that they talk about her the way she should be talked about which was she was a fabulous entertainer, a great mother and just a wonderful human being.”
McKellen’s Struggles With Day-Lewis
I find this really interesting as it has often been stated that Daniel Day Lewis is very serious about his acting.
Sir Ian McKellen always struggled working with Daniel Day-Lewis – because of the star’s extreme acting methods.
The thespians were both members of the Royal Shakespeare Company throughout the 1980s.
McKellen insists he found it difficult to get on with Day-Lewis, because he was so serious about his techniques.
And McKellen reveals the Oscar-winner has maintained his method acting ways throughout his career.
He says, “Daniel insists you address him by his character’s name the whole time he is doing a film. If he is speaking with an American accent, he talks all the time in American. If he is riding horseback, then it is horseback all the time.”
