“Yesterday” Movie Trailer

I may offend some people with this statement, but I’ve never been a true Beatles fan growing up. It wasn’t in my wheelhouse and it wasn’t passed down to me by my family. I obviously have a great appreciation for the band and their music though. And I recognize how iconic they are. “Across the Universe” though never did it for me. It’s funny, isn’t it, how some bands and artists can mean the world to one person and not to the next. I think that band for me is actually Death Cab for Cutie. Do we think they’d ever get a film though?

I watched this movie trailer the other week for “Yesterday” and gravitated towards it pretty quickly. Actor Himesh Patel play Jack – a character who loves performing covers of The Beatles. One day he wakes up only to realize that The Beatles never existed. As he’s playing their songs to his friends and family, they believe them to be originals as opposed to covers. This picks up and he rises to stardom out of nowhere!

“Yesterday” is in theaters starting September 19th and stars actress Lily James and is directed by Danny Boyle. The film also boasts cameos from James Corden and Ed Sheeran.

Slum Sadness continues

It’s already bad enough to hear the news that the child actors from Slumdog Millionaire live in devestating poverty. We felt a little bit better when Danny Boyle said that he was going to purchase houses/apartments for them and their families. But I have a sinking and unsettling feeling when I hear that one of that young actors was struck by his own father. And it doesn’t help that there are pictures.

Freida Pinto is a Slumdog Superstar

I haven’t been able to stop raving about Slumdog Millionaire. If you haven’t seen this movie, you need to. It is so wonderful and refreshing. Last night the movie took home four awards from the 2009 Golden Globes: Best Motion Picture – Drama, Best Director – Motion Picture (Danny Boyle), Best Screen Play – Motion Picture (Simon Beaufoy) and Best Original Score – Motion Picture (A.R. Rahman) The awards were all well deserved I’m not surprised at all. And it’s obvious that Freida herself – who made her debut in Slumdog as Latika – has been mentioned almost everywhere I have seen today as one of the “Best Dressed,” wearing Christian Lacroix. I don’t think the hype will be over anytime soon; I’m so excited to see what’s in store for Slumdog’s main characters Dev Patel and Freida Pinto. I think Freida has been looking radiant lately in her red carpet wear, she’s giving my all time favorite style icon Camilla Belle a run for her money.
