The anomaly great trailer and movie , i love this .
ReplyDeleteCheers
we do love us some sf
DeleteCaptives great too ! Suspense !
ReplyDeleteGreetings .
a deep psychological drama
DeleteCaptives looks positively creepy! Makes me want to hide under a blanket!
ReplyDeleteand it has great acting performances judging from the trailer
Deleteit's a creeper post... yes, thank you.
ReplyDeletebe welcome, I look at it as on a Cannes Film Festival post
DeleteAtom Egoyan is one of Canada's best directors and film-makers. We are so proud of him!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know he was from Canada, that's lovely!
DeleteJ.M.W. Turner seemed like a fascinating fellow.
ReplyDeletehe did make landscapes paintings reach the fame of historical ones
DeleteI like the sound of The Anomaly out of that lot
ReplyDeletegreat poster for it too!
DeleteI thought Timothy Spall looked familiar, he plays Peter Pettigrew in Harry Potter
ReplyDeleteyou know, it's not a flattering thing when you remember acting legends by their roles in HARRY PLOPPER, Adam
DeleteThere's no way I could say no to a scifi and Ian Somerhalder. He's just way too sexy for his own good, imo!
ReplyDeletehe does have those lethal eyes
DeleteHi Dezzy. This may come as a surprise but I once wrote a paper that made reference to Royal Academy of Art , but it's such a long time ago that your mentioning the name jogged the good ole memory stick um...
ReplyDeletesuch delight, such delight... is you personally good in painting? Or were before the shakiness?
DeleteBefore the shakiness, yes. Maybe I should paint some shaky art.
Deleteit could bring you millions! I mean I've seen people who fart paint and make art that way, so anything is possible :)
DeleteHow exactly does one fart paint? It's a new concept?
DeleteI've seen an older man who paints naked - he sticks a tube of paint into his arsehole and than farts the colour onto the paper.... it rather NOT delightful :) I mean if it was a young hot painter.... yes.... but with him.... no....
DeleteDear LLLLord! His Momma must be so proud.
DeleteI wonder if she keeps a painting of his on her wall?
DeleteThat Anomaly trailer is so cool ~ Thanks Dezzy for the update ~ Have a good week/end ~
ReplyDeletebe welcome, Grace, happy Easter weekend
DeleteI remember when I first saw Ian Somerhalder on Lost. I thought he was a real tool on that show. Couldn't stand him. While I haven't seen any of his other work, I do think he is one of those men who just get better looking with age. Those eyes....
ReplyDeleteI've seen him in MARCO POLO mini series and he wasn't bad. He is easy on the eyes :)
DeleteCouldn't see Ryan Reynolds as a father, but after watching the trailer I think he'll do good. Captives looks very mysterious and suspenseful.
ReplyDeletehe once played a father in a horror too, and was really amazing in it.... He is really a very profound actor with lots of radiance, and I think that he is now slowly turning to more dramatic and serious roles
Deletethat captives trailer is really creepy. Just the kidnapping of a child would be a parent's worst nightmare but all that other crap too?
ReplyDeleteit will be a very deep drama
DeleteTimothy Spall has a perfect face for any century but this one. I love watching him on the screen.
ReplyDeleteThe Captive trailer had my heart pumping.
LOL that is so very true about Timothy :)
DeleteI think I should like Mr. Turner the best. The story is one that interests me and I adore Timothy Spall. That man works hard as an actor and he's always good.
ReplyDeletehe certainly is, dear, we do love those acting legends in today's sea of superficial instant stars
DeleteMR TURNER sounds great. I love Timothy Spall. Such a talented British actor :)
ReplyDeleteDid you watch 'The Voyages of the Princess Matilda' with Timothy and his wife Shane travelling around Britain in their big blue barge?
I haven't but it sounds delightful!
