Fave films of 2010

Don't tell Cool Rider I have been so slack with posting since she has been away!!! At least i've covered the majors..pregancies, engagements, marriages and a bit of Ryan!!!

As a little goodbye to 2010, here is a list of some of my fave films of the year. this is in no particular order, as i always find it hard to pick just one!!

ANIMAL KINGDOM - this is a great Aussie film. it's the type we do so well. it's a tough watch, and fairly violent, but mesmerising at the same time. The performances are fantastic and i found Ben Mendelsohn's portrayal of 'Pope' absolutely menacing and convincing.


THE KIDS ARE ALRIGHT - I love this type of film. Brilliant cast, great acting, well written. A great night out at the flicks and Vampire Weekend on the soundtrack!


EASY A - this flick was so well written, with smart dialogue and many 80's references, and it introduced me to my newest girl crush, Emma Stone. Can't wait to see more of her in the future. It also let me get to know another new fave chick Aly Michalka form Hellcats a little better and my dislike for ∂an Humphrey, eased slightly, he was kinda cute as the beaver (was that what he was, can't remember now!) And the film is totally worth watching just for the performances of patircia Clarkson and Stanley tucci!



THE LAST SONG - was absolutely adorable. Bawled my eyes out and fell in love all at the same time!!!

Ahhhhh....lovley Liam!



HARRY POTTER 7 - of course, except the weird fantasy scene in the forest with hermione and harry, that kinda freaked me out!!!

DEAR JOHN - why not!!!! switch off the brain, shed a tear, enjoy the joys of a hot bogan!!!

CHARLIE ST CLOUD - This is really a whole other category. Best film moment of the year. Who knows if the film was actually any good, we watched in the presence of the man himself, Zac Efron! My loins are limbering just thinking about it!!!!



HURT LOCKER - yes, it was 2010. Great film!

THE TOWN - Ben Affleck, the comeback king. Written, directed and acted in this ripper crime thriller. If you haven't seen it, catch it when it's out on DVD. Definitely worth a look.

THE SOCIAL NETWORK - What an excellent film. Topical, fascinating, brilliant acting, directing and such clever dialogue. This film introduced me to the delights of Andrew Garfield, of whom I am now looking very forward in seeing in some future projects!


and of course BLUE VALENTINE. I know there are some of you that are Gosling lovers that are not necessarily loving this film, but I think the more distance you have from it and can appreciate the amazing performances of Ryan and Michelle, then I think you will love it! Or am I really just too biased to even watch a film with Ryan in it and not love it!

So there you have it. i know i will have forgotten some and I know there are others that I loved, but maybe not quite as much as these ones!!!

dear john - more....

Do you recognise this fellow? He plays Tim in DEAR JOHN. As I was watching the film last night, i knew that I knew his face from somewhere but it wasn't until I spotted his name in the credits that it suddenly clicked, Henry Thomas aka Elliot from ET.



Also of note, is the fact that a letter someone writes to a lover to break up with them is called a DEAR JOHN.

Just Saw 'Dear John'

This is where we sighed.....

This is where we went weak at the knees.....

This is where we drooled......

This is where we blubbered like babies.....

And this is where we kept blubbering....

Can we watch it again? Please???

Dear John......

Dear John,

You know that I have a very soft spot for the hot bogan that is the Chan. Tonight I saw him in the sweetest film and he rocked it! Definitely the strong silent type works for him. We laughed (but that was really only at the staff at Highpoint), we cried, well no, we really bawled and we remembered first loves and beach romances and kissing in the rain. John, I miss you already and am hoping to catch you again sometime soon!

Love
K

Seriously, a delight!

Breaking News

Dear John had knocked Avatar off it's perch in the states! Now number one at the box office!!! Wooo Hooo! Bring it on.

Amanda

at the DEAR JOHN premiere last night. so pretty and with her boobs out! (her words not mine!) Didn't post the Chan....picture a bogan in a suit! (J may disagree!!!)

Dear John

Blimey, I nearly tear up just looking at the stills for this movie - can you imagine what I'll be like when I see the real thing. The gloriously cute Amanda + epic love story + soldier at war + the beach + THE CHAN = Movie Of The Year.

Ahh Channing, you are delightful!

Little House - Amanda Seyfried

K and I are waiting with great anticipation for the movie - 'Dear John'. It is one of those movies that we know we are going to LOVE and want to watch many, many times.
While we are waiting here is Amanda Seyfried, who stars in the movie, singing a song she wrote for the soundtrack - Little House.

The Chan's 'business'!

"Channing Tatum's penis is gross. It looks like a hot dog that's been left too long on the grill. The tip is hot-pink, singed, and shriveled. It appears angry. And it's painful to view. My penis hurts just from looking at it. Movie stars tend to be vain, by nature and profession, but Chan—that's what everyone calls him—does not mind one bit showing me his sad, withered wiener.

This is seriously an article in the magazine DETAILS, featuring our friend the Chan on the front cover. It continues....

"It was the most painful thing I have ever experienced in my life," he says, flipping through photos on his iPhone until he lands on a grainy snapshot of a scorched member. His scorched member. "I'm good . . . now," he says with a grin. "Now my penis is fantastic! One hundred percent recovered. Put me back in the game, Coach." Tatum's no nancy boy: When not on set, the former high-school-football standout, who did all his own stunts in a movie aptly titled Fighting, spends most of his time in his basement gym, engaged in ball-bruising mixed-martial-arts workouts. "I've been to the hospital, gotten stitches, had broken fingers and toes. But this was a suffocating kind of pain."


So anyway, we do have a real fondness for the Chan here in the Hollow, there is no doubt he is a bogan, (this is how he greets the journalist "Sporting sleepy eyes, camouflage cargo shorts, a wicked case of bed head, and a can of Coors Light, Tatum has the chilled bearing of a frat boy the day after the big kegger.") however, he is hot!!!! And we can't wait to see hin in DEAR JOHN.
