Joaquin, Mark and Jennifer Make Red Carpet Reservation

Reservation Road premiered in LA last night, bringing out the movie's four big name stars. Joaquin, Mark, Jennifer and Mira all looked happy to be reunited on the red carpet, but I'm sure they were all missing their other all star costar, Elle Fanning. Jennifer Connelly was obviously too busy reveling in her new deal to be the face of Balenciaga to realize that the designer's runway look doesn't Read more

Reservation Road: So Much Potential, Yet Boring

Note: Another one from me. I'm on a roll today. Ever since I read the book Reservation Road a few years back, I thought it would make an excellent movie. I could hardly contain my excitement when I saw the cast — Joaquin Phoenix, Mark Ruffalo, Mira Sorvino, Jennifer Connelly (and personal favorite, Elle Fanning). Unfortunately, I walked out of the theater disappointed. Not because it didn't Read more

A Fresh Faced Joaquin Premieres Reservation Road

Joaquin Phoenix cleaned up real nice for the NYC premiere of Reservation Road. It really is amazing what a haircut and a shave can do for a guy. He definitely holds his own as the man of the hour since his co-star Mark Ruffalo couldn't make it to the event. Mira Sorvino showed off her long legs while Jennifer Connelly looked beautiful but we're not loving the huge flower on her dress. The Read more

Joaquin Comes Clean

Joaquin showed up at the Toronto Film Festival looking a bit rough but he cleaned up nicely for the premiere of Reservation Road. He looked a bit shy leaving the festival but maybe he was just tired out from all the dance moves he so elegantly displayed. Joaquin showed both his goofy and serious sides when talking about how the role in the movie affected him personally. Here's more: "I'm Read more

Joaquin Wants You To Get Lost On Reservation Road

The stars of Reservation Road showed how well they can clean up at the movie's TIFF premiere yesterday. Jennifer Connelly looked gorgeous in her LWD (although we're a bit confused about her choice of shoes) and Mark and Mira looked fabulous as well. Joaquin wins the most improved award in comparison to the press conference on Wednesday, and gets bonus points for showing off some killer ballet Read more

No Reservations On The Road To TIFF

The all-star cast of Reservation Road hit the Toronto Film Festival, first stopping off for a press conference to discuss the film. Sure, Joaquin wasn't looking his very best but (the newly daughter-expecting) Mark more than makes up for it in the adorable factor. Mira and Jennifer looked like they were having a lot of fun with their male co-stars (hey, I wouldn't mind spending an afternoon with Read more
