Whats Your Number?: Film Review

The couple arrives in a creaky vehicle, leaking fluids and tires completely shot but, hey, it got them to the party. Anna Faris andChris Evans are the couple in question, and together they brighten up a lame idea for a romantic comedy in What's Your Number? so well that you keep thinking this isn't such a bad concept after all. Well, yes, it is but, to their credit, a support team that includes not only other actors but director Mark Mylod and screenwriters Garbielle Allan andJennifer Crittenden realize a good thing when they see it: Set your stellar performers up with good line and physical shtick, then get out of their way.our editor recommendsAnna Faris, Dan Aykroyd drawn to 'Yogi Bear'Anna Faris: Queen of Comedy'Captain America' Star Chris Evans: 5 Things to Know'Captain America' Chris Evans Heats Up 'Net After GQ Interview For this is a rom-com by the numbers. Literally. Numbers dominate the premise but -- bottom line -- the numbers may pencil out quite well for Fox with its weekend release of a modestly budgeted, savvy product for female audiences. And guys may see a few figures they don't mind looking at either. STORY: Anna Faris to Star Opposite Sacha Baron Cohen in 'The Dictator' Here's the premise: In America, the average woman has 10.5 lovers in her lifetime. And 96% of women who've been with 20 or more lovers can't find a husband, this according to a study by one Dr. Helen Fig. (No, the joke is too obvious.) So the film's heroine, one Ally Darling (Faris), decides, during an inebriated evening celebrating the impending nuptials of her younger sister (Ari Graynor) in their hometown of Boston, that the numbers aren't running in her favor. So-o-o ... she vows that man No. 20 -- yes, she's about to reach that number -- will be The One. Then she sleeps with the creep who just fired her. Oops. Now, if her vow not to exceed the No. 20 is to mean anything, she must revisit Nos. 1-19 to find the right one. Even the Internet isn't that helpful tracking down those unsuspecting males, however. But the guy across the landing from her apartment, Colin (Evans), who beds a different bimbo each night, has a family in the police business and a natural instinct for finding anybody. EXCLUSIVE: Anna Faris Sells Stalker Comedy Project to Paramount Okay, so you know instantly how this is going to play out, but the playing-out is the whole fun. The two confab about Ally's various past "exes," she ambushes a few for comic sequences, Ally & Colin become real friends, her sister's wedding has its own comic bumps, and then there's the melodrama about dad (Ed Begley Jr.) showing up at the wedding and just how much this will upset Ally's patrician mom (Blythe Danner). To paraphrase Noel Coward, it's extraordinary how potent cheap rom-com is. None of this should play well. It does because Faris and Evans work hard to make it look easy. Faris is oft compared to Lucille Ball,but why not? She's got the beauty, awkwardness and guile down pat. She absolutely makes this movie, which would otherwise be exasperating. Her timing is impeccable and her enthusiasm contagious. Evans' role is more subservient to the heroine and would get lost with a less personable and accomplished comic actor. He definitely plays second fiddle to Faris, but what an orchestra they make. STORY: 'Captain America's Chris Evans Talks 'Avengers' Co-Stars and 'Raging Insecurity' The rest of the movie has good and bad points -- mostly good. The supporting cast does what it should, excellent use is made of Boston locations nicely blended with a superior interior set -- designer Jon Billington, take your bow --- and the writers and director achieve a nice nonchalance in how the story unfolds. Mild vulgarity and discreet nudity garner the sought-after R rating, but this effort feels forced. The real "bad" here is the sheer formulaic nature of everything. There are no surprises but for once you don't much mind. There are more than four weddings in the movie, but no funerals so a happy ending is assured. In fact, that may be the worst "bad" here. There was room for a more ambiguous ending, maybe one that found the movie's Darling wondering what No. 22 might be like.

Glee's Dianna Agron: Quinn Still Misses New Directions

Dianna Agron Glee's Quinn Fabray may be rocking a crazy 'do and acting like she doesn't care, but in truth, the former Cheerio truly misses New Directions. Fall Preview: Get scoop on your favorite returning shows After giving up her and Puck's child and losing boyfriend Finn (Cory Monteith) to Rachel (Lea Michele), Quinn (Dianna Agron) returned to McKinley High this year with a new perspective on life: Nothing matters anymore. "She's just been through so much," Agron tells TVGuide.com of Quinn's sudden turnaround. "You know how it is when you're in high school and you don't know if maybe you've made all the right choices, but you want to be an adult and you want to own something. She wants to own something." Check out our gallery of TV's best love triangles Despite smoking with her new "friends" under the bleachers and refusing to reunite the unholy trinity, Quinn did gaze wistfully at the glee club she's vowed to leave behind by the end of the season premiere. "How can she not miss that?" Agron says. "These are her friends and no matter if she's had turmoil with them, especially with some of the guys, they're people that supported her. She had a baby and nobody shunned her, so as much as she wants to be different and step outside of that, I think it would be dishonest to not have her have some feelings of longing for that." Her destructive ways will come to a head in Tuesday's episode, when she's faced with the return of Shelby (Idina Menzel), who had adopted her baby in Season 1. While Agron played coy and refused to say how this will affect Quinn, you can expect her veneer to crack as she grapples with the identity crisis that may keep her from future interactions with baby Beth. Glee airs Tuesdays at 8/7c on Fox.

This Week's Page Turner: Zooey Deschanel Makes Mix Tapes, Watching three dimensional inside your Family Room, and Julia Roberts Does not Speak Serbian

Zooey Deschanel is one thing of the dream girl for cool rom-com fans and indie music brainiacs (in the end, she's married to Dying Cab for Cutie lead singer Ben Gibbard, and it has a gang of her very own, She and Him). So, it's most likely no real surprise that within this week's New You are able to, author Jada Yuan says she received a combination tape in the actress while writing an account about the 'Our Idiot Brother' star. "I pointed out which i were built with a friend who was simply feeling lower," recalls Yuan. "I have first got it ... happiness tunes are, like my, area," responded Deschanel. The finish product was -- you suspected it -- an extremely stylish 13-track Compact disc, including tunes in the Beach Boys, the Turtles and also the Paper Dolls. (Sadly, no Dying Cab tunes made the ultimate cut). Elsewhere in New You are able to, Jessica Pressler tries, and fails, to deconstruct 'Straw Dogs' star Alexander Skarsgard. As Pressler states, "in interviews, [Skarsgard] discloses next to nothing ... he's either determined a method to avoid falling in to the trap stars all say they would like to avoid, or possibly he's just empty." For instance, after asking the 'True Blood' star what books he reads, he states "from fiction to non-fiction." The thing is what you must have done to the stars, all-encompassing celebrity media? You've switched them into drones! (Or, more properly within this situation, lifeless vampires of the underworld.) In other news, the brand new You are able to Occasions lately switched their focus on the endless "does it die/does it stay" three dimensional debate. Aside from the obligatory 'Avatar' plug, this piece includes a unique twist: the way forward for three dimensional isn't in theaters, but in your Televisions. After evaluating it towards the View-Master 35mm slides from the '60s, Occasions author Dork Kehr helps make the situation for 3-dimensional television. (Place heads of movie galleries entertaining, here). "In a single important respect home three dimensional surpasses the technology used in most theaters ... The brand new home system uses 'active shutter' LCD glasses, that are synchronized with infrared signals in the tv to alternately block the right and left view, to ensure that each eye sees just the image intended for this." That sounds pretty fancy, but we will not be completely offered until Na'vi can walk around our family room without needing to get yourself some three dimensional specs. Rounding things out, we use the newest problem of Entertainment Weekly, where actress Julia Roberts spoke to Anthony Breznican about her directorial debut, 'In the Land of Bloodstream and Honey.' For those individuals negative people out there moving their eyes at another A-lister trying their hands at pointing, Jolie confesses that they made things very challenging for herself throughout filming. In a number of moments, Angelina needed to direct dialogue in Bosnian-Croatian-Serbian, a language she doesn't speak. Consequently, she switched towards the film's stars -- Goran Kostic and Zana Marjanovic -- for advice. "I'd pull [Marjanovic] aside and say, 'Which take have you think [Kostic] was probably the most attached to, because I am less than sure?' ... It had been a distinctive process," recalls Jolie.

Himizu

A Gaga (in Japan)/Fandango (in Italia) discharge of a Gaga, Kodansha production. (Worldwide sales: Gaga, Tokyo, japan.) Created by Haruo Umekawa, Masashi Yamazaki. Executive producers, Tom Yoda, Satomi Odake. Co-producer, Mizue Kunizane. Directed, compiled by Sion Sono, in line with the manga by Minoru Furuya.With: Shota Sometani, Fumi Nikaidou, Tetsu Watanabe, Mitsuru Fukikoshi, Megumi Kagurazaka, Ken Mitsuishi, Denden, Yosuke Kubozuka.A Nipponese boy from the damaged home attempts to overcome all of the violence and difficulty in the existence in "Himizu," the most recent pic from prolific scribe-helmer Sion Sono ("Cold Seafood," "Suicide Club"). Initially created like a straightforward adaptation of Minoru Furuya's eponymous manga, pic's script was changed to incorporate the aftermath of last March's earthquake and tsunami, finally fusing an initially very bleak coming-of-age story having a more hopeful overlay -- despite adding more misery. Though no entirely happy marriage, result gained an excellent real-estate slot within the Venice competish, that ought to translate to Sono's largest exposure yet. Never an extremely disciplined filmmaker, whether when it comes to running time or thematic coherence, Sono's films possess a frazzled quality for them that betrays both his earlier calling like a poet -- to whom juxtaposition, repetition and effect may take priority over more classical narrative logic -- and how quickly he makes films (his sexy and violent "Responsible for Romance" preemed in Cannes captured). His latest, named following a mole species endemic to Japan, concentrates on two junior-high kids to whom sex is uncharted territory, though physical brutality happens throughout. Occur the aftermath from the disaster, the leads embody innocence defiled by natural, familial and social violence. Inside a departure in the manga, these tainted pure souls also represent the way forward for the country to whom you need to have aspirations. Protag Sumida (Shota Sometani) is really a mercurial boy whose personal credo is "normality rules." Instead of venturing to dream, he'd should you prefer a normal, respectable existence taking care of the household's small boat-rental operation. This really is easier in theory, considering the fact that his mother's elope -- her wry goodbye note reads "Possess a nice existence" -- and the drunkard father (Ken Mitsuishi) comes back home only from time to time to conquer his kid, steal anything he may have and tell his boy he wishes him dead. In school, an obsessed person-ant but cute classmate, Chazawa (Fumi Nikaidou), is deeply in love with Sumida. She's a poetry nut, saying verses from French vagabond bard Francois Villon (lit references really are a recurring theme within the helmer's work), such as the significant line "I understand everythingOrbut myself." The children are clearly destined for each other, though initially Sumida strongly rebuffs Chazawa's advances. Things grow more difficult if this emerges that Sumida's father owes the same as $80,000 to some yakuza moneylender (Denden). Since his father is missing, Sumida is held accountable for paying the dough or risk being designed to suffer as a result of the moneylenders' thugs. Because Sono attempts to set the manga's story, using its stylized violence, within the very real, publish-earthquake/tsunami disaster area, "Himizu" struggles to locate a coherent tone. Monitoring shots from the wasteland triggered through the quake and tsunami, set to Mozart's overused "Requiem," don't jive with pic's more caricatured method of assault. Though Sono's no stranger to tonal changes, the various roots from the natural disaster and also the mano-a-mano knife and gun fights stop symbiosis. The setting never becomes greater than a hyper-realist backdrop for any manga adaptation (the guy-made nuclear disaster that adopted is barely talked about). Typically out-there Sion flourishes, like a subplot including a pickpocket (Yosuke Kubozuka) who burgles a neo-Nazi killer, the random appearance of the almost naked lady by having an iron chain mounted on her leg, or even the fact Chazawa's parents are creating a custom-made gallows on her, move a dark tone farther away from realism, yet still time it's recommended the pic's particularly occur Japan in May 2011. As seen from the realistic backdrop, the helmer's customary pitch-black humor will not fly for many auds. Nevertheless, within the lead, Sometani ("A Liar along with a Damaged Girl") proves a lot more than able to keeping interesting in the character's plight. He appears to be the sole character in a position to register genuine feelings, even when many of them seem to stem from his teenage rage, frustration and confusion a lot more than any direct cause. Other figures tend to be more one-note. D.p. Sohei Tanikawa, utilizing a Red-colored camera, keeps near to his figures for that exposition moments, enhancing the pic's immediacy. As with all Sion films, the present edit runs too lengthy, climax hard 't be moved through the simple finale. Other tech credits are OK.Camera (color, HD), Sohei Tanikawa editor, Junichi Ito music, Tomohide Harada production designer, Takashi Matsuzuka costume designer, Rika Murakami seem (Dolby), Akira Fukada action director, Tak Sakaguchi line producer, Takeshi Suzuki.

The 9 Most Glamorous Moments in Roddy McDowall's Unbelievable, Star-Laden Home Movies

Please cherish this moment of blue-rare glamor, because I’ve seen nothing like it in my life: Actor Roddy McDowall’s home video collection was released to the public, and in one amazingly decadent vacation reel from 1965, the Planet of the Apes celeb cavorts with some of the biggest movie stars of all time. Is that Judy Garland in sky blue patio-wear? Sure is. Is that a Cat Ballou-era Jane Fonda? Indeed. Is that David O. Selznick, Natalie Wood, Julie Andrews, Paul Newman, Anthony Perkins, Rock Hudson and many, many more? Sigh! Yes! Let’s rank the nine most glamorous moments from these soundless clips and fan ourselves for the rest of the day. 9. Suzanne Pleshette, in a crisp white ensemble with pinstripe pants, shields her face and playfully kicks away the camera. Such meager defenses would not serve her well in The Birds. (Video #3, 2:55) 8. Jane Fonda, whose utterly perfect teeth cannot be denied, lowers her shades and unleashes some zany, cross-eyed, fun. (Video #3, 4:18) 7. Anthony Perkins gives a coy “fuck you” to the camera. Vulgarity in a ringer tee! Glamor! (Video #3, 3:48) 6. Roddy McDowall himself hogging the camera, squatting in an itty-bitty swimsuit, and playing around with a big Star of David. (Video #2, 1:45) 5. A long, gorgeous shot of Paul Newman posing with beer just before he darts at the water in shock-white shorts (Video #1, 1:00)

There's been much talk about the last son of Krypton's outfit in the Superman: Man Of Steel movie, with worries that it might all go a bit What Not To Wear.(Let's face it, the fanboys are more likely to call in Trinny and Susannah than Gok Wan, as new Supes Henry Cavill has already figured out how to look good naked: spend a lot of time in the gym).The first official pic of Cavill was released early in August but fans now have the chance to study some up close and personal shots of him on set in Plato, Illinois.There also a whole gallery of other shots online at Superhero Hype courtesy of WENN.com, click here to view those images.
