'The Private Lives Of Pippa Lee' Trailer: Blake Lively In Bondage Wear, Naked With Alan Arkin
9 October 2009 2:21 PM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
***Scroll down for Blake's S&M pics and the trailer*** Blake Lively's on the big screen again, and this time there are no traveling pants. In fact, sometimes she's wearing no pants at all, but there are chain collars, leather restraints and retro undies galore. In 'The Private Lives of Pippa Lee,' Blake plays a runaway, Pippa, who seeks refuge with her lesbian aunt and dominatrix lover. Soon S. is drugged out, starring in S&M movies and crawling around on the floor on a leash. Luckily a much older lover (Alan Arkin) comes to her rescue. Present-day Pippa is played by Robin Wright (Blake's the younger version in flashbacks), and the cast includes Julianne Moore, Keanu Reeves, Winona Ryder and Maria Bello. The movie premiered in February at the Berlin Film Festival and is set to open in limited release in the... »

Trailer - 'The Private Lives of Pippa Lee'
21 September 2009 1:07 AM, PDT | GetTheBigPicture.net | See recent Get The Big Picture news »
Here are few factoids about The Private Lives of Pippa Lee writer-director Rebecca Miller: She's the daughter or Arthur Miller, the legendary playwright, she's the wife of Daniel Day-Lewis, and in addition to doing some acting in her day, Pippa Lee is based on her own novel.
Pippa Lee is an examination of a life of a woman who feels as though her life still has a lot left to it. Robin Wright Penn reflects on her younger years (in which she looked exactly like Blake Lively) and her marriage to a much older Alan Arkin. Now that's a strange pairing. But then she meets a guy her own age (Keanu) and starts wondering if it's time for a change. Or maybe she's just losing her marbles.
You'll also see Winona Ryder, Maria Bello (briefly), and Monica Bellucci in this trailer. The film played at Toronto earlier this month »

Keanu Reeves will be busy filming a new romantic comedy this fall called Henry's Crime. Written by Sacha Gervasi (The Terminal) and to be directed by Malcolm Venville, the film will be the first to come from the actor's new production company, Company Films.
Keanu will also receive a producing credit on the film along with his co-partner at Company Films, Stephen Hamel. So too will Lemore Syvan, the producer of a film called The Private Lives of Pippa Lee that Reeves also stars in.

Blu-Ray Review: Amy Adams, Emily Blunt Sparkle in ‘Sunshine Cleaning’
27 August 2009 11:42 AM, PDT | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – Christine Jeffs’ “Sunshine Cleaning” has its ups and downs, its pros and cons, but it’s worth a look, now on Blu-Ray and DVD, for one of the most delightful, multi-faceted performances of the year from one of the better actresses of her generation. What Amy Adams delivers in “Sunshine Cleaning” is her most interesting turn since “Junebug”. Even with an average Blu-Ray release, Adams makes “Cleaning” worth at least a rental on its own.
Blu-Ray Rating: 3.5/5.0 Despite what Adams (and, to a lesser extent, Emily Blunt) bring to “Sunshine Cleaning,” it’s pretty undeniable that the screenplay could have used another polish. The film fluctuates wildly in tone and overall quality and feels at times like it was practically created by a computer designed to make a “Sundance comedy”.
The “Sundance comedy” is practically a genre of its own at this point - odd characters, quirky dialogue, an unexpected plot twist, »

Spin-ematical: New on DVD for 8/25
25 August 2009 9:02 AM, PDT | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »
Julia Roberts and Clive Owen in a smart, fast-paced espionage thriller should have gone gangbusters at the box office, but for some reason never caught fire. They play dueling corporate spies, and that's all you really need to know to enjoy it. Duplicity is witty and engaging, and I think it should hold up quite well to multiple viewings. Also on Blu-ray. Buy it.
Greg Mottola's nostalgic paen to youth is more wistful and bittersweet than rambunctious and celebratory, which makes for a darker viewing experience. It's shot through with a sub-current of anger and resentment, occasionally flaring up to reveal unflattering embarrassments most of us would rather forget. With Jesse Eisenberg, Kristen Stewart, Bill Hader, Kristen Wiig, and Ryan Reynolds at his most sleazily appealing. Also on Blu-ray. Rent it.
This is triumph through tears and really bad smells, as sisters Amy Adams and »

It's Spy Games And Carnival Rides In This Week's DVD Report For Tuesday, August 25
25 August 2009 7:00 AM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
It's the last week of summer, so how is Hollywood celebrating? By releasing a home video slate of some of the most under-appreciated films of the year. From bickering spies to reluctant amusement park workers, August 25th brings together indie darlings and big-budget gems, and we're breaking it all down in today's DVD Report.
Let's kick it off with one of my favorite films of the year, Tony Gilroy's "Duplicity." The director's sophomore follow-up to "Michael Clayton," the Julia Roberts-Clive Owen spy yarn brings together two of the brightest and most expressive voices working today for a crafty globe-trotting adventure. Filled with twists and turns and superb acting, "Duplicity" wasn't exactly a smash hit at the cineplex, but it's more than worth your time. Sadly, if there's one thing worth griping about here, it's the rather lackluster bonus features...or should we say bonus feature. Both the »

Review: 'Sunshine Cleaning' on DVD
23 August 2009 11:34 AM, PDT | Comicmix.com | See recent Comicmix news »
Most times, we read our comics and watch our movies and television programs and come in at the beginning or during an act of gruesome violence. Often, we then see the crime scene investigators do their thing and then leave. But what becomes of the crime scene afterwards?
Answering that question is the moving Sunshine Cleaning, an independent film starring Amy Adams and Emily Blunt. The well-received film comes out on DVD this Tuesday from Anchor Bay Entertainment.
Adams plays Rose Lorkowski, a single parent stuck in a dead end job, trying to raise her young son. Raised by her failed salesman father (Alan Arkin), it fell to Rose to raise her younger sister Norah. Rose was once on top of the world, captain of the cheerleading team, but there she is, a decade-plus later and she’s still sleeping with the quarterback (Steve Zahn), despite his being married to someone else. »

Brand New “Private Lives of Pippa Lee” Poster
22 August 2009 1:34 PM, PDT | Filmofilia | See recent Filmofilia news »
Check out a brand new poster for Rebecca Miller’s movie “The Private Lives of Pippa Lee” screened at the 59th Berlin International Film Festival as one of the out of competition films. The movie is adapted from writer-director Rebecca Miller’s novel of the same name.
From all outward appearances, Pippa Lee (Robin Wright Penn) leads a charmed existence. She is the devoted wife of an accomplished publisher (Alan Arkin) thirty years her senior, the proud mother of two grown children, and a trusted friend and confidant to all who cross her path. But as Pippa dutifully follows her husband to a new life in a staid Connecticut retirement community, her idyllic world and the persona she has built over the course of her marriage will be put to the ultimate test.
In truth, looks are deceiving, and this picture-perfect woman has seen more than her fair share of turmoil in her youth. »

Robin Wright Penn, Alan Arkin And Keanu Reeves Come Together For 'The Private Lives Of Pippa Lee'
13 August 2009 1:30 PM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
That's quite an interesting lineup, eh? Writer/director Rebecca Miller, who also wrote "Proof," is back with her first directing gig since 2005's "The Ballad of Jack and Rose." "The Private Lives of Pippa Lee," adapted from Miller's own book, follows the titular Pippa (Robin Wright Penn) as she embarks on a journey of self-discovery after her older husband (Alan Arkin) moves the family to a suburban retirement community. See, Pippa has something of a spotty history and she's going to have to work through some of that in order to adjust to her new life away from the city.
I have here the latest poster for "Pippa Lee," touting a pretty dynamite cast which includes Maria Bello, Monica Bellucci, Blake Lively, Julianne Moore, Keanu Reeves and Winona Ryder. Whew. Look for "The Private Lives of Pippa Lee" in theaters later this year, on October 23. Hit the jump for the full poster. »

More Tiff titles for Galas and Special Presentations sections
28 July 2009 1:47 PM, PDT | QuietEarth.us | See recent QuietEarth news »
A couple of Gala films, most notable the world premier of Dorian Gray has been added, along with the UK crime comedy flick Perrier's Bounty which stars Cillian Murphy which I'm honestly surprised to see as part of the lineup. I've been keeping my eye on it for a while, and honestly it didn't sound that great, but then again, I haven't seen footage.
There's also the world premier of Drew Barrymore's hot women rollerderby flick Whip It! and Herzog's remake of Bad Lieutenant.
New films after the break!

Other world preems include a trio of titles from the U.K in Dorian Gray, Harry Brown and Perrier’s Bounty while Americana will be repped with elbow-throwing Whip It.

For those of you that didn’t feel like watching a man play with dildos at the cinema this past weekend in Brüno, there was thankfully another offering – The Private Lives of Pippa Lee.

Review:Amy Adams, Emily Blunt and Alan Arkin star in Sunshine Cleaning
9 July 2009 4:45 AM, PDT | t5m.com | See recent t5m.com news »
(Jeffs, 2008) The “dysfunctional family” check box has been slowly creeping higher on the list of producer's Ok lists for sometime now. So, as the god awful quirk-com and dramedy labels start grotesquely elbowing their way into more and more column space, the only way for films like Sunshine Cleaning, seems to be up. After holding her own against Steep and Hoffman in Doubt earlier in the year, Amy Adams delivers another great performance as Rose, a single mother holding tightly on to a remedial cleaning job as her own life, her younger token emo sister, Norah (Emily Blunt) and her old friends slowly make it more and more apparent that she is living in the past. She's even up-keeping an affair with her now married high school sweetheart and policeman, Mac (Steve Zahn). When Rose's (you guessed it) cute, misunderstood yet typically bright son, Oscar, is forced out of school »
