Starring: Anne Hathaway, Rosemarie DeWitt
Director: Jonathan Demm
Rachel Getting Married tells the story of Kym (Hathaway) – a girl who is given leave from rehab to see “Rachel getting married” – her sister Rachel, that is (DeWitt). Kym is self absorbed and petulant: a trait that Rachel cannot deal with, especially with their father indulging Kym in her childish behaviour. What ensues is awkward dinners, shouting matches and tense and touching moments showing how a whole family is affected by one addiction.
This movie is good. It is. We found it a very interesting unique, almost documentary like portrayal of a family, though we must admit it was at time self-indulgent and assumed the audience cared more about them then they probably did. Anne Hathaway was brilliant. Subtle and true, we forgot we were watching an actress. If you like you films with more of kick, stay away. But it’s worth checking out.
What did we learn from this movie?
All’s fair in love and dishwasher packing war. THIS MOVIE GETS:

6/10 hearts
The reason we haven’t posted in a while is because we’ve been in…. wait for it… NEW YORK. (don’t cha just love our little adventures?)
It was a whole lotta awesome, already can’t wait for the next trip out there. The only down side is we didn’t meet Edward Norton. *Sigh* There’s always next time, right?
So here are a few pics, and keep your eyes open for reviews of Revolutionary Road, Doubt, The International and others.
OMG is that? could it be? YES it’s Leo DiCaprio looking a little… well… waxy if you ask me.
Oh, hi. It’s Sway from MTV. And no, this one ain’t a wax figure.
“People are spending too much time modelling for some f**king clothing company instead of acting, and I resent it. It’s like, ‘Are you going to do the Chanel ad today? I thought you were in the middle of shooting a f**king movie.”
– Sean Penn on his disgust at actors endorsing clothing companies. We wonder how his Milk co-star James Franco feels seeing as he’s just signed a big deal with Gucci?
We’ve rounded up as many celeb pics from the Obama inauguration celebrations as we could find. Enjoy! (If you find any others, send them to us and we’ll post ‘em up! Email us at vickyanddre@hotmail.co.uk)
So we were watching Celebrity Big Brother’s Big Mouth the other day (Coolio to win), and Vicky and I gasped in unison when we saw one of the guests: the editor of British gossip mag Heat, Julian Linley (don’t google him though, as there’s only one pic of him and it’s not too good). This guy looks exactly like Edward Norton. Like totally. We know you die hard Ed fans out there would probably disagree but come on:
If you remember, actor/hot guy Joaquin Phoenix announced last year that he would be retiring from movies and starting a new career as a musician. Well, he kicked off his campaign to be a rapper by performing this past weekend to a packed Las Vegas club. Now, we personally didn’t think Joaquin was that bad, (check out his swagger, y’all), but who woulda thought ole Joaq could spit lyrics? (well, he did give us a lil taste in his latest film Two Lovers reviewed here). Check him out!
NOTE: is that Casey Affleck filming that we can see?
Oh, and here’s Joaquin falling off the stage. Dangerously funny, we warn you.
This makes us think: what should Joaquin’s rap name be? Cast your vote, or comment with you own suggestions!
The producer behind Scorsese’s Oscar winning film (and our personal fave), The Departed, was so fascinated by the Boston mob, he’s bought the rights to make a film about the hit man John Martorano.
Martorano worked for mob boss “Whitey” Bulger (whom the Jack Nicholson character “Costello” was based on), before becoming an FBI informant.
According to IMDb, Graham King, producer of The Departed, was so intrigued when he met Martorano, that he felt a story had to be made out of his life.
Hey, anything to do with The Departed has our attention. We’d watch it!
