Your Highness
Don't ever let it be said that James Franco and Natalie Portman are afraid to tackle a wide range of acting genres. They have done it again - you could not get much further from '128 Hours' and 'Black Swan' than 'Your Highness'.
This romp also stars the cute-as-pie Zooey Deschanel so 3 ticks for me.
Throughout history, tales of chivalry have burnished the legends of brave, handsome knights who rescue fair damsels, slay dragons and conquer evil. But behind many a hero is a good-for-nothing younger brother trying just to stay out of the way of those dragons, evil and trouble in general. Danny McBride and James Franco team up for an epic comedy adventure set in a fantastical world--"Your Highness." As two princes on a daring mission to save their land, they must rescue the heir apparent's fiancée before their kingdom is destroyed.

NO STRINGS ATTACHED or FRIENDS WITH BENEFITS
Interestingly, the the race is hotting up between the 'two just friends having sex' films. The first to be released, and my guess, the weaker of the two, NO STRINGS ATTACHED has just released a 'raunchy' (is that word too daggy to use in 2011??) trailer. I have seen this one and gave a quick rundown on my thoughts here last week. WARNING If you are under 18, please get written permission from your parents prior to screening this trailer!!!!
In this comedy, Emma (Natalie Portman) and Adam (Ashton Kutcher) are life-long friends who almost ruin everything by having sex one morning. In order to protect their friendship, they make a pact to keep their relationship strictly “no strings attached.” “No strings” means no jealousy, no expectations, no fighting, no flowers, no baby voices. It means they can do whatever they want, whenever they want, in whatever public place they want, as long as they don’t fall in love. The questions become – Can you have sex without love getting in the way? And can their friendship survive?

Nat's knocked up!!!
Natalie Portman and her boy, Benjamin Millepied (the name does make me giggle!!) who was her choreographer on BLACK SWAN have announced that not only are they engaged, but NAtalie is pregnant as well. I do love me some Nat, she has shown amzing promise since I first saw her in The Professional and then in Beautiful Girls and I have been a fan ever since. However I do have a sad story to tell. On Friday I saw her latest venture NO STRINGS ATTACHED with Ashton Kutcher, and to be honest, it's pretty ordinary. It will be interesting to compare it with the other film of the same theme FRIENDS WITH BENEFITS starring Justin Timberlake, Mila Kunis and Emma Stone etc written by Will Gluck who so superbly penned EASY A. NO STRINGS ATTACHED felt very try hard, was badly scripted and to be honest a little bit too crude unnecessarily! Anyway will be interested to hear what others thing when it comes out. I myself am looking very forward to NAtalie's other project BLACK SWAN which is gaining some Oscar momentum!

BLACK SWAN - Trailer
This film is disturbing and dark and even explores some girl on girl action that will no doubt please. I badly want to see it but I know it will be no picnic.
Nina (Natalie Portman) is a ballerina in a New York City ballet company whose life, like all those in her profession, is completely consumed with dance. She lives with her obsessive former ballerina mother Erica (Hershey) who exerts a suffocating control over her. When artistic director Thomas Leroy (Cassel) decides to replace prima ballerina Beth MacIntyre (Ryder) for the opening production of their new season, Swan Lake, Nina is his first choice. But Nina has competition: a new dancer, Lily (Kunis), who impresses Leroy as well. Swan Lake requires a dancer who can play both the White Swan with innocence and grace, and the Black Swan, who represents guile and sensuality. Nina fits the White Swan role perfectly but Lily is the personification of the Black Swan. As the two young dancers expand their rivalry into a twisted friendship, Nina begins to get more in touch with her dark side - a recklessness that threatens to destroy her

Nat On Jake
'He plays guitar and has a great voice. Kids and dogs love him. He loves his Mum, and sister, and girlfriend. He's perfect. Too bad he's ugly.'

brothers
An interesting one for me, this one. BROTHERS starring Natalie Portman, Jake Gyllenhall and Tobey Maguire all star in this Jim Sheriden directed (in the name of the father, my left foot) film. It is however based on an excellent Danish film BRODRES (brothers in danish!) It's a great film, even though it doesn't actually star my danish love Mads! So as I say, its always interesting to watch a remake of a film you love.
Brothers revolves around siblings and polar opposites Captain Sam Cahill (Tobey Maguire) and Tommy Cahill (Jake Gyllenhaal). When Sam goes missing and is presumed dead, Tommy, who is an ex-con and drifter, tries to fill the void left behind by taking responsibility for his brother’s wife Grace (Natalie Portman) and two young daughters. As Tommy tries to turn his life around, his relationship with Grace evolves; however, this unexpected development is complicated when Sam turns up alive and scarred from his experiences as a prisoner of the Taliban.
Have a look and see what you think. Releases in December (me thinks in time to be eligible for oscar nominations!)

Dating Sean Penn??
But her boyfriend looks like this - oh no, wait a minute - that is Sean Penn!!
(Well how would you know really. The guy looks like he is permanently disguised.)
Pennman????
Natalie Portman, the 27-year-old actress, is firmly denying rumors that she and reigning Best Actor Sean Penn are an item.
"Sean Penn is a friend and colleague," the star of the upcoming New York, I Love You said in a statement to Extra Friday. "The reports that we are romantically involved are completely untrue. I normally do not respond to rumors about my private life, however, this repeatedly fabricated story has forced me to do so."
Sounds guilty to me!!!!!!
