First Leap Year Images

It’s hard to believe that 2009, as well as the noughties decade is almost at a close, but we have no time to dwell as we look forward to 2010 releases.

And one of those releases sees Amy Adams and Matthew Goode team up for comedy Leap Year.

A woman (Adams) who has an elaborate scheme to propose to her boyfriend on Leap Day, an Irish tradition which occurs every time the date February 29 rolls around, faces a major setback when bad weather threatens to derail her planned trip to Dublin.

With the help of an innkeeper, however, her cross-country odyssey just might result in her getting engaged.

Take a look at some of the first images from the movie:

The British Comedy Award Nominations 2009

My mum always told me to go for a man with a sense of humour rather than drop dead gorgeous looks… and whilst I’m holding out to find a man with equal amounts of both, I’m hoping to cash in at the British Comedy Awards 2009.

Whilst I still actually have to find a way into the awards (and find a dress worthy of bagging myself Jimmy Carr) I am excited to hear that Alan Carr and Michael McIntyre have both got three nominations each, and will battle it out to win both Best Comedy Entertainment Personality and Best Entertainment Programme. Oooh!

Other nominations include our new celeb best mate and Inbetweeners’ star, Simon Bird, for Best Television Comedy Actor, all three kids from Outnumbered (I LOVE them!) for Best Newcomer and Ruth Jones for Best Television Comedy Actress.

Extraordinary Measures Trailer

Extraordinary Measures looks set to be a bit of a weepy as Harrison Ford and Brendan Fraiser join forces.

From his working class roots, John Crowley has finally begun to taste success in corporate America. Supported by his beautiful wife Aileen and their three children, John is on the fast track.

But just as his career is taking off, Crowley walks away from it all when his two youngest children, Megan and Patrick, are diagnosed with a fatal disease.

With Aileen by his side, harnessing all of his skill and determination, Crowley teams up with a brilliant, but unappreciated and unconventional scientist, Dr. Robert Stonehill. Together they form a bio-tech company focused on developing a life-saving drug.

One driven to prove himself and his theories, the other by a chance to save his children, this unlikely alliance eventually develops into mutual respect as they battle the medical and business establishments in a fight against the system and time.

Take a sneak peak at the movie’s trailer:

The Girlfriend Experience Trailer

The Girlfriend Experience sees Steven Soderbergh return to the big screen next month, it’s been a busy time for the filmmaker after the success of The Informant!

Chelsea (Sasha Grey) is a high-priced $2,000-an-hour call girl in Manhattan, offering a ‘girlfriend experience’: she’ll dress with the client in mind, go to dinner and a movie, listen attentively to talk about work and finances, and she’ll provide sex.

It’s October, 2008: a presidential election nears and the economy is in free fall. She has a boyfriend, Chris (Chris Santos), who’s a personal trainer. We are shown five non-consecutive days in Chelsea’s life.

It’s Wham! Week On The X Factor!

The X Factor ‘themes’ always thrill me with excitement… but Wham! Erm, I’m kind of puzzled as to how most of the singers are going to pull of their camp-as-Christmas sound.

What’s more, am I the only one who can’t actually think of eight Wham! songs full stop? I’m not being funny, but we’ve had Queen Week who are musical greats… but Wham! What else did they actually sing other than Club Tropicana and Wake Me Up Before You Go Go?

John_and_Edward_01

Besides, I’m pretty sure that John And Edward probably thought Wham! was a kids chew bar and not a band… bless them, I hope they were little sunglasses and surfer shorts!

Let’s face it though, we all know Jedward were BORN to sing Wham! songs and jump around the stage like they’ve drunk fair too many cans of Dr Pepper and eaten an entire bag of fizzy flying saucers.. But then again, look what happened to Jamie Archer in Queen Week…

Is anyone else a little bit excited?!

Ruth’s Wednesday Wafer

Kate Moss might be a role model to many a woman, but after revealing her motto in life is… “Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels.” I’m starting to think she should stick to refusing to do media interviews!

The X Factor can rarely get through a series without rumours of a voting fix surfacing, and now it looks as thought 2009’s fix-ation has reared its ugly head as friends of axed contestant Jamie “Afro” Archer are claiming that Simon Cowell “offered him up” to leave, and that the whole thing was a set-up. Ouch!

Keisha Buchannan was never going to take her axing from ‘her’ band lightly, and now it looks certain that the original Sugababes line-up is going to be making a comeback.

Rihanna might have spent all last night having out with her new celeb best mates at her album launch in London.. But we’ve been picking apart her new video… what do you make of it?

Hands up if you are more than a little excited about the soon to be released New Moon, yes you only have to wait till Friday? The movie has already become the biggest pre-release movie of all time and the franchise looks set to get bigger. Who will put money on New Moon being next week’s number one?

Michael Sheen has apologised to his daughter for being bald in his latest movie New Moon. The actor takes on the role of Aro in the latest instalment of the Twilight Saga, but he doesn’t look like he’s described in the book. This is a book ‘adaptation’ here they are never actually the same!
