Eastern Promises

DVD production stops for no holiday, it seems, as several new DVDs recently hit stores (and Netflix). As a kind of belated New DVD Tuesday, here are a few of the notable titles now available on DVD.

Shoot 'Em Up
This movie is fun and campy while also being extremely violent. The dreamy Clive Owen stars opposite the creepy Paul Giamatti as Mr. Smith, a kind of crude James Bond-type tasked with protecting a newborn baby from the maniacal Mr. Hertz (Giamatti). There's a ton of outrageous gun play and some crazy sex, all of which is very entertaining — especially for fans of Clive Owen. Special features include commentary by writer/director Michael Davis, extended and deleted scenes, and a substantial making-of feature that explores the special effects (including how the action sequences with the baby were made) and cast interviews, among others.

Naomi Watts looked fabulous last night at the premiere of Eastern Promises at the London Film Festival. She was joined by her costar Vincent Cassel, Colin Firth and Elle Macpherson. Obviously the balance of working and being a new mom is suiting her. At the Calvin Klein party the other night, Naomi revealed her secrets to looking good while still working off the baby weight. She said, "I've got a lot of solid undergarments. Good classic lines can also help cheer up an out of shape body." We have a feeling there may be more to this story than just flattering designs and underwear, but whatever she is doing, it's working.

Naomi Watts left the partying to her co-stars last night at the screening for Eastern Promises in New York. 30 Rock newcomer Edie Falco is proving that there is still life after The Sopranos, although scoring an Emmy on Sunday would definitely be a sweet send off from the show. Meanwhile, is it just us, or did Viggo Mortensen's hotness sort of disappear after the Lord Of The Rings days? This film seems to be more along the lines of A History of Violence - check out the dark and creepy trailer here.
