We’ve got a big bunch o’ pics and some clips for Gone, a thriller written by Allison Burnette (Underworld Awakening) and toplined by Amanda Seyfried.  The wide-eyed Seyfried stars as Jill, a young woman who comes home from a night shift to discover her sister Molly (Emily Wickersham) has been abducted.  It was only the year before that Jill had escaped from a kidnapper. She is convinced that the same serial killer has come back for her sister. Afraid that Molly will be dead by sundown, Jill embarks on a heart-pounding chase to find the killer, expose his secrets and save her sister.

The whole thing just seems like a straight to video B-Movie. Not that there’s necessarily anything wrong with that… popcorn thrillers have their place in the annals of Friday date night couch fest history. I’m just still seeing parallels with Silence of the Lambs, not to mention any number of slasher/teen horror flicks. I’m also not convinced Seyfried can successfully carry a film. The presence of Julianne Moore and Liam Neeson couldn’t save Chloe, and neither could Gary Oldman or Julie Christie save Red Riding Hood.

The supporting cast does have some talented actors in it, including Wes Bentley (who needs to work more), Jennifer Carpenter, Sebastian Stan, Daniel Sunjata (Rescue Me), and Joel David Moore (Avatar). Gone is the English language debut of Brazilian director Heitor Dhalia (2009’s Adrift) and arrives in theaters  February 24 in the US and 2^nd March the UK.

Amanda Seyfried headlines Gone, a thriller written by Allison Burnette (Underworld Awakening). I’m still undecided as to what I make of this. It seems to have quite a few things in common with Silence of the Lambs, not to mention any number of slasher/teen horror flicks. For that matter, I’m still undecided what to make of Seyfried. How long is she planning to get by on ‘wide-eyed innocence’?

“Jill Parrish (Seyfried) comes home from a night shift to discover her sister Molly (Emily Wickersham) has been abducted. Jill, who had escaped from a kidnapper a year before, is convinced that the same serial killer has come back for her sister. Afraid that Molly will be dead by sundown, Jill embarks on a heart-pounding chase to find the killer, expose his secrets and save her sister.”

Not that there’s necessarily anything wrong with that… While the supporting cast does have some talented actors in it, including Wes Bentley (who needs to work more), Jennifer Carpenter, Sebastian Stan, Daniel Sunjata ("Rescue Me"), and Joel David Moore (Avatar) , there aren’t any names that can open or carry a movie. I’m not sure Seyfried can either. She had the likes of Gary Oldman and Julie Christie behind her in Red Riding Hood (neither of whom were enough to save it) and In Time was Justin Timberlake’s movie, but here she’s the star. Gone is the English language debut of Brazilian director Heitor Dhalia (2009’s Adrift) and arrives in theaters  February 24 in the US and 2^nd March the UK.

Amanda Seyfried headlines Gone, a thriller written by Allison Burnette (Underworld Awakening). It’s Seyfried’s third film in less than a year, after Red Riding Hood and In Time. (The latter much more well received than the former). I’m still undecided as to what I make of this. It seems to have quite a few things in common with Silence of the Lambs, not to mention any number of slasher/teen horror flicks.

“Jill Parrish (Seyfried) comes home from a night shift to discover her sister Molly (Emily Wickersham) has been abducted.

It seems to me that this would be relegated to straight to video…er excuse me dvd, if it weren’t for Seyfried. While the supporting cast does have some talented actors in it, there aren’t any names that can open or carry a movie. I’m not sure Seyfried can either. She had the likes of Gary Oldman and Julie Christie behind her in Red Riding Hood and In Time was Justin Timberlake’s movie, but here she is clearly the star. The talented cast does include Wes Bentley (who needs to work more), Jennifer Carpenter, Sebastian Stan, Daniel Sunjata ("Rescue Me"), and Joel David Moore (Avatar).  

We’ll see. The trailer is not without potential. Gone is the English language debut of Brazilian director Heitor Dhalia (2009’s Adrift) and arrives in theaters 24 February in the US and the UK.

And actually, it was barely ever there.  Jennifer Carpenter and Michael C. Hall quit their marriage a while ago and they haven’t even reached their two year anniversary.

Showtime Gives ‘Dexter’ Season 6

“Having been separated for some time, Jennifer Carpenter and Michael C. Hall have filed for divorce,” the reps say in a joint statement.

Jennifer stood by Michael while he battled cancer, but is that the only reason she stuck around?  He’s beat the disease and now she’s out?  I hate seeing marriages end after such a short time.  The ’till death do us part’ stuff has really lost it’s meaning.  Don’t you find it rather depressing?  Am I too much of a romantic?

For the record, that man is far too hot to be single.  Ladies, watch out!

Kim Kardashian looks lovely as she attends the GQ Men of the Year last night at the Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles.

Because of a lost bet, some lucky guy has a tattoo of her on his stomach:

“Speaking of tattoos, Tattoo from Power 106 has a dope one on his stomach! You guys have to ask him about it! He lost a bet and got a big tattoo of me on his stomach! It’s pretty weird to see a tattoo of yourself! It was done, like, two years ago! I saw it all go down! Pretty cool!”

A picture of said tattoo can be seen here

My nemesis, Rene Zellweger was at The 16th Annual Women in Hollywood Tribute in Los Angeles (sponsored by Elle).  Recently Rene told US Magazine that a third instalment of Bridget Jones’ diary isn’t a go:

“I get asked (about) that every single day and I don’t know anything.”

Oh Paleeze.  I can imagine people asking her about Bradley Cooper every single day, but Bridget Jones’ Diary?? I doubt it.  Not that it’s not a great set of movies but let’s face facts: It’s Bradley Cooper we want to know about. B-R-A-D-L-E-Y C-O-O-P-E-R.

The gala featured a who’s who of lovely ladies  including Katie Holmes who would normally have her wardrobe approved by Fashionista Tombo but instead her little sweet pea Suri, helped pick her outfit.

Perry Reeves, Cheryl Hines and Jennifer Carpenter hit the red carpet at the 2008 Emmy Awards. What do you think of their gowns? Hit or miss?

It seems the excitement is more over the gowns than the awards themselves, right?
