Quickly after the release of the poster comes the trailer for Clint Eastwood’s “Invictus” and this really does have Oscars 2010 written all over it. It really does look and will be that good. The biggest questions will be, if Morgan Freeman and Matt Damon will go up against each other to get nominated and go forward to win in the Best Actor cateogory or not.

10 Movie Quotes – That Mean Something To Me
I decided to do a list of 10 movie quotes that really mean something to me and I really relate to with how I feel about love, a certain man and life in general. I probably have posted most of these quotes on the blog at some point, but that just shows how much I love them,
“Sometimes I wish I had never met you. Because then I could go to sleep at night not knowing that there is someone like you out there.” (Good Will Hunting) –
While I love this quote, I more love that it kinda explained how I felt about someone a while ago. I always feel it is mis-quoted in terms of how it is said in the movie, as it is not said between two people who love each other. It is about Will Hunting (Matt Damon) being so brilliant.
“I’m scared of walking out of this room and never feeling the rest of my whole life, the way I feel when I’m with you.” (Dirty Dancing)
Dang this hit me very hard when I watched the movie recently as it was totally how I felt when I left to come to the USA when I kinda said goodbye to someone. Although we did not say bye as such . . . but that whole moment in Dirty Dancing is totally how I felt.
“After all . . . tomorrow, is another day.” (Gone with the Wind)
I think this is always important to remember. That no matter how bad things are, tomorrow is another day (and hopefully a change in fortune?)

Movie Picture of the Day 16
Today’s picture is from “Good Will Hunting” I seem to have quite a thing for this movie.
Bale To Box With Wahlberg In New Film
I very much like the sound of this, love Christian and Mark . . . both of them in a movie about boxing is just going to be incredible !!!
Christian Bale is stepping into the boxing ring with Mark Wahlberg – the actors have signed up to co-star in new film The Fighter.
Bale will play boxer Dicky Eklund in the movie, about the path to redemption from a life of drugs and crime he discovers by helping his half-brother, Wahlberg’s character ‘Irish’ Mickey Ward, to win the world lightweight championship.
Director Darren Aronofsky had previously lined up Matt Damon and Brad Pitt for the role, before Bale was poised as a replacement.
Production is scheduled to begin in July, reports Daily Variety.
Damon Turned Down Star Trek
Not a fan of Star Trek really, but quite suprised Matt was thought of for the role. He obviously wasnt feeling it and didnt do the movie haha.
Director J.J. Abrams has confirmed he originally approached Matt Damon to take on the role of Captain Kirk in the new Star Trek remake – but the actor turned him down.
The space age franchise originally featured William Shatner as the heroic starship captain, but the veteran stars from the first films have been replaced with a younger cast for the upcoming prequel.
And Lost creator Abrams admits Damon was his first choice for the starring role of Kirk – but he is glad to have been given the chance to subsequently hire little known star Chris Pine.
He tells America’s Life magazine, “I actually approached Matt and we had some discussions, but everything happens for a reason. On the one hand, it would have been great to work with Matt – but at the end of the day, it was such a better move to cast the movie with unknowns.”
The rest of the cast is also made up of lesser known actors, including Heroes‘ Zachary Quinto as Spock and Simon Pegg as Scotty.
And Abrams is convinced the casting will help make the characters more believable.
He adds, “It is fun to discover the stars of tomorrow, but even more so, just like with the first Star Wars, you didn’t know who those people were when you saw the movie. You believed that guy was Luke Skywalker. You didn’t recognise him from six other movies. You bought into who this guy was. It is a slippery slope when you cast any actor that is somewhat known. We weren’t beholden to any fame meter.”
Star Trek is due for release next month.
Damon Confirms Fourth Bourne Movie
So another Bourne movie will be made.
Hollywood actor Matt Damon is working on a fourth installment of the successful Bourne movie franchise.
Damon and director Paul Greengrass will be developing an original script for the popular series’ fourth outing – as the films have dramatised all of Robert Ludlum‘s best-selling novels.
Yet both are currently held up on other projects – and Damon remains cautious about reprising his physically intense role as superspy Jason Bourne.
He tells Parade magazine, “We’re working on it. This time it would be from an original script rather than a book by Robert Ludlum, but the director Paul Greengrass is busy and I am too, so we’ll see what happens.
“When I did the first movie I was 29 years old. I am 37 now. After a tough fighting scene, the next day you wake up and feel your body more. That’s just the way it is.”
Oscar Winners – Pictures
As the Oscars is only 2 days away. I thought one way to celebrate is to post some pictures of previous winners with the Gold statue in hand.
Martin Scorsese eventually won as Oscar for “The Departed”. Presented to him by Francis Ford Coppola, George Lucas and Steven Spielberg.
