Nicole Kidman Talks Rabbit Hole

Nicole Kidman returns to the big screen this week with her new movie Rabbit Hole – and she has delivered a performance that has seen her pick up another Best Actress Oscar nomination.

The movie, which sees her team up with Aaron Eckhart, follows two grieving parents as they try to overcome the death of their six year old son.

Becca and Howie Corbett are returning to their everyday existence in the wake of a shocking, sudden loss. Just eight months ago, they were a happy suburban family with everything they wanted.

Now, they are caught in a maze of memory, longing, guilt, recrimination, sarcasm and tightly controlled rage from which they cannot escape. While Becca finds pain in the familiar, Howie finds comfort.

The shifts come in abrupt, unforeseen moments. Becca hesitantly opens up to her opinionated, loving mother and secretly reaches out to the teenager involved in the accident that changed everything; while Howie lashes out and imagines solace with another woman.

Yet, as off track as they are, the couple keeps trying to find their way back to a life that still holds the potential for beauty, laughter and happiness.

Rabbit Hole is released 4th February. Take a look at Nicole Kidman’s thoughts on the film.

Tom McCarthy, acclaimed writer/director of “The Visitor” and “The Station Agent,” explores the allegiances and bonds between unlikely characters with a lighter touch in his new film.

Struggling attorney Mike Flaherty (Paul Giamatti), who moonlights as a high school wrestling coach, becomes legal guardian of an elderly client in an attempt to help keep his practice afloat.

When the client’s teenage grandson runs away from home and shows up on his grandfather’s doorstep, Mike’s family life and his wrestling team are turned upside down.

Mike’s win-win proposition turns into something much more complicated than he ever bargained for.

McCarthy’s deft touch balancing drama and comedy, broken hearts and poignant humanity is at play in “Win Win.”

Take a look at the trailer for the movie:

Win A Date With Justin Bieber. Yes, really, we’re not joking. You can actually win a date with the Beib. Excellent. if only half the FF staff weren’t old enough to be his month…

Exactly 365 days after walking down the aisle with Alex Reid, Katie Price is planning to serve him with divorce papers.Shame, we thought he seemed nice.

Those X Factor hunks The Reason are now to be known as the Reason 4 thanks to some legal stuff that’s gone on. “I don’t really care” I hear you saying… well, you haven’t had a peruse of their 100% NAKED photoshoot yet… Yippe!

Before venturing into the I’m A Celebrity…. Jungle, noone knew who Kayla Collins was, and unless you watch ITV2 when you’re bored, you probably still have no idea who Mark Wright is. But anyway, they’re dating.

Personally, I imagined Peaches Geldof muscling her way into the Dancing On Ice lineup this year, but when I saw her absence, I knew she must have some attention-grabbing plan up her sleeve. Clearly I was right, as PG has killed two publicity birds with one stone thanks to the wonderful world of Twitter.

Prince William and Kate Middleton were always going to be the butt of various sexual innuendo jokes and tacky merchandise sales since they announced their impending wedding, so we’re rather unsurprised to see the two join forces top release a brand of condoms.
