I have to put this site on another hiatus. I’m really sorry, but there’s this really important exam just around the corner and I have to spent my free time preparing for it. I promise, I won’t be gone for too long. See you in early May!!! :)

A Shangri-La Entertainment presentation in association with Fotokem of a Gato Negro Films production. Produced by Steve Bing, Sebastian Gutierrez, Richard Rosenblatt. Co-producer, Zach Schwartz. Directed, written by Sebastian Gutierrez.
With: Carla Gugino, Zachary Quinto, Danny DeVito, Josh Hartnett, Rosario Dawson, Emmanuelle Chriqui, Robert Forster, Gil Bellows, Aaron Tveit.
Anyone who has acquired a taste for writer-director Sebastian Gutierrez’s playfully naughty and archly stylized crazy quilts of colorful characters and interlocking storylines can savor “Girl Walks Into a Bar” as the cinematic equivalent of a light but tasty snack. Billed as the first major feature produced exclusively for online consumption (it’s already available on YouTube), this unevenly paced but amusing pic has the kicky, anything-goes vivacity of a collaborative project produced in a single, sustained burst of creative enthusiasm.
Set in a succession of 10 Los Angeles bars over a long evening, “Girl” charts the random connections between, among others, a resourceful ex-cop (Carlo Gugino, star of Gutierrez’s “Women in Trouble” and “Elektra Luxx”); a melancholy ex-con (Robert Forster); a criminally inclined bar owner (Danny DeVito); and the hostess (Rosario Dawson) of what likely is the only nude Ping-Pong club in Silver Lake. As usual, Gutierrez’s dialogue recalls the funny wordplay in early pics by Alan Rudolph and Hal Hartley, and his dance sequences suggest an unfulfilled longing to direct a full-blown musical. Performances are zesty — Gutierrez brings out the best in Gugino — and tech values are surprisingly polished.
Camera (color, HD), Cale Finot; editor, Lisa Bromwell; music, Grant Lee Phillips; production designer, Brian Vog; costume designer, Genevieve Tyrrell. Reviewed at SXSW Film Festival (Spotlight Premieres), March 11, 2011. Running time: 79 MIN.

After seven seasons as intelligent, driven and devoted daughter Rory on TV’s Gilmore Girls, Alexis Bledel has gone on to star in films such as Post Grad and The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. These days, Bledel’s attention is focused not just on pants, but dresses, purses, boots and plenty of other clothing items as she makes her stage debut in off-Broadway’s fashion-centric hit Love, Loss and What I Wore. Broadway.com caught up with Bledel to chat about her own fashion memories and her days in Gilmore’s humble town of Stars Hollows.
Love, Loss and What I Wore marks your stage debut. Why did you decide to try theater?
I’ve never worked with a live audience and I thought this show would be a fun way to ease into theater work. The writing is so great, and I’m a huge fan of Nora and Delia Ephron, so this was a pretty easy decision. Having the audience was [nerve-wracking] at first, but now I find it so satisfying because you have people laughing immediately when something is funny.
Do you have any clothing-related memories that would work in the show?
We actually talked about that in rehearsal, and my high school uniform, a khaki pleated skirt with a blue wool blazer, came to mind. I loved it because I didn’t have to figure out what to wear every day. I’m not really good at figuring out what goes together and it takes me a long time to get it right. By the time I was a senior, though, I hated it and wanted to burn it after graduation. A year later, I started Gilmore Girls and I had to wear Rory’s school uniform for four years. Hers was much cuter than mine, but I couldn’t believe I was back in uniform. … continue lendo » » »

The first trailer has arrived for Robert Redford’s historical drama The Conspirator, which will debut in theaters on April 15. Click here to watch the first footage of this movie.
Against the turbulent backdrop of post-Civil War Washington, rookie lawyer Frederick Aiken (James McAvoy) reluctantly agrees to defend Mary Surratt (Robin Wright) – the lone woman charged as a co-conspirator in the assassination trial of Abraham Lincoln. When his colleagues, friends, and true love begin to desert him, Aiken must rely on Mary’s spirited daughter Anna (Evan Rachel Wood) to help piece together the events leading up to the assassination. Facing down the government he fought so heroically to defend, Aiken quickly realizes Mary may be innocent and that she is being used as bait in order to capture the only conspirator to have escaped the massive manhunt: her own son, John. Unwilling to incriminate her boy, Mary refuses to cooperate as Aiken seeks to defend her by building his case against John. With time running out, Aiken puts everything on the line in order to convince a bloodthirsty nation – and Mary, herself – to do what is right. But will this be enough to prevent the U.S. government and its people from flouting principle and exacting revenge?
The Conspirator comes to theaters April 15th, 2011 and stars Norman Reedus, James McAvoy, Robin Wright, Evan Rachel Wood, Alexis Bledel, Justin Long, Danny Huston, Kevin Kline. The film is directed by Robert Redford.
