Just in time for the holidays, director Nancy Meyers (The Parent Trap, The Holiday) gives us the horribly-titled, It's Complicated, a comedy drama about a divorced woman (Meryl Streep)and her relationship with her ex-husband (Alec Baldwin) and her architect (Steve Martin). It looks cute and girly if not exactly hilarious. It's nice to see Meryl, my favorite actress, in one of these more normal roles. She's just playing a regular woman not a zany nun or a scary magazine editor. From the preview it looks like Streep will be organic and warm in this role. It's Complicated could be the title for practically any movie, but besides that the movie looks like cuddly holiday entertainment.
This is the trailer for New York, I Love You, an anthology movie featuring short films by different directors about New York. It's a companion piece to Paris, Je T'aime. The trailer was pretty much tailor-made for me to love. It uses Phoenix's rapturous, infinite-feeling song 1901 perfectly, and New York is one of my favorite places in the world. The cast is huge featuring Blake Lively, Natalie Portman, Rachel Bilson, Julie Christie, Shia Laboeuf, Orlando Bloom, and Bradley Cooper to name a few. I can't wait.
The September Issue is a documentary about Vogue editor Anna Wintour and how the magazine puts together one of their trendsetting, very heavy September issues. I'm so excited to see this. It looks fascinating and fluffy.
Here's the trailer for Spanish director Pedro Almodovar's latest movie, Broken Embraces, starring the stunning Penelope Cruz. It will be released here in the fall. The plot revolves around a blind writer. Cruz looks gorgeous in the trailer, and I love seeing her in anything especially since she's been getting better roles in English features in the past couple years. Also, I recently got into Almodovar Can't wait!
