NYC Is Where Spike, Blake, and Tom Check Out the Wild Things
Blake Lively was one of the few ladies at last night's NYC premiere of Where the Wild Things Are. It's only Wednesday, but this was already Blake's second red carpet of the week after turning out to support boyfriend Penn Badgley Monday at his screening of The Stepfather. Blake was in rather impressive company, as Tom Hanks and Forest Whitaker also turned out to see Spike Jonze's latest film.
Blake, Forest and Tom Know Where The Wild Things Are
Blake Lively spent a second evening at a film premiere last night, joining Forest Whitaker and producer Tom Hanks for the New York premiere of Where The Wild Things Are at Alice Tully Hall. Blake wore her hair in gorgeous curls taking a trend straight from Paris Fashion Week. They were joined by director Spike Jonze and singer Karen O, who provides music for the soundtrack.
The Taking of Pelham 123: The Taking of Our Time, 104 Minutes
I wanted The Taking of Pelham 123 to be great, or at least kinda fun — full of thrills and interesting characters with a few little one-liners tossed in. Expecting too much? Maybe.
Movie Preview: In the Loop
The Tribeca Film Festival isn't the only celebration of cinema taking place this week. Right here in San Francisco, the San Francisco International Film Festival is underway, and it's got a long list of great movies lined up.
One of those is In the Loop, a British satire about the run-up to war.
Movie Preview: The Taking of Pelham 123
In The Taking of Pelham 123, Denzel Washington plays city employee Zachary Garber who gets tangled up in a dangerous hostage situation when armed men take over a subway train and try to negotiate money in exchange for releasing the trapped New Yorkers. John Travolta plays the mean mastermind behind the whole thing who gets to know Zachary Garber fairly well during their little back-and-forth.
