Finally, we get the first glimpse of the Prince of Persia: Sands Of Time movie trailer. I think that the effects look great and I might actually want to sit through the whole thing…and that is because of the shirtlessness. I think that when they decided to make the movie, having Jake Gyllenhaal be shirtless through the movie makes me able to sit until May 28, 2010 to watch it.
The new movie, The Box, with Cameron Diaz and James Marsden, is hitting theatres on Friday. And every time I see the trailer I am always asking myself what is this movie really about?
So after doing a bit of research I found out that it is based on the short story, Button, Button, this short story also made it’s way into being an episode of The Twilight Zone. The quick run down of the movie is this: Norma and Arthur Lewis, a suburban couple with a young child, receive a simple wooden box as a gift, which bears fatal and irrevocable consequences. A mysterious stranger, delivers the message that the box promises to bestow upon its owner $1 million with the press of a button. But, pressing this button will simultaneously cause the death of another human being somewhere in the world; someone they don’t know. With just 24 hours to have the box in their possession, Norma and Arthur find themselves in the cross-hairs of a startling moral dilemma and must face the true nature of their humanity.
This brings me to the question I have been asking everyone around me. And annoying them with it. Would you press the button if you would cause someone to die and take the million dollars? I know personally I started thinking of every way possible to try to win. Everyone knows I love to play games and I love to try and cheat and win because I’m a sore loser. But there is no way that you can win in this one. If you really need the million dollars, since these days a million dollars doesn’t seem like much, but if you need it it might seem like a sweet deal. But I couldn’t handle the thought of having someone’s death in my head that whole time. And then if I didn’t take the money and really needed it might cause me to have something bad happen to me. So what is a person to do? Would you push the button?
Blake Lively is the cover girl for the November 2009 issue of Nylon magazine. In the issue she talks about her friends, riding elephants and how she’s like Serena.
On punking her friends: “I swipe my friends with, like, my phone or something, – I slide it in their butts. Like in middle school! You say ‘Visa! Mastercard!’ Just to give somebody a jump. I’m a prankster.â€
On riding elephants on her recent vacation to Thailand, India and the Maldives: “Elephants are the most incredible creatures I’ve ever been around. You’re sitting in this water that they poop in, and somehow it’s not gross. You’re scrubbing the bottom of their feet and behind their ears…â€
On her empathetic nature: “I feel a lot. I get really bad stomachaches all the time. So I went to a doctor, and he said, ‘You’re an feeler.’ I take on people’s pain a little too much.â€
Is she completely different from Serena? “No, because I dress just like Serena! I own half her wardrobe, so it’s far too similar to the way I dress. I feel ridiculous at times with her – because I’m, you know, killing someone or marrying someone, but I look like me. I’m like, ‘Oh, this is absurd.’”
Blake on her new film, The Private Lives of Pippa Lee. “I had a leash around my neck, and Julianne Moore was taking pictures. I thought, What am I doing with my life? What is happening? How is this a good idea?”
I’m a little late posting this scary Halloween ghost story but I saw it over at Kellan Lutz Online yesterday and it seems like I write about Kellan Lutz at least once a day I had to share this one. I love that around Halloween there are so many horror movies out, I didn’t get a chance to catch many of them this year. Kellan can tell me as many ghost stories as he wants…
