KATE HUDSON SINGS IN NINE
2 Comments | Posted on Tuesday, 8 December 2009 by Claire

I've attached the clip of Kate's song in Nine, which is Cinema Italiano. I kinda like it, I don't think she has a particualrly outstanding voice, but she carries it off, and this is a great clip in general for the film. Sexy, sassy and decadent! I'm looking forward to seeing this movie, I absolutely love Daniel Day Lewis!
Let me know what you think.

New Moon looks to stay number one
0 Comments | Posted on Friday, 4 December 2009 by Ben

New Moon looks to stay number one This weekend at the U.S box office, New Moon will attempt to continue it's hold on the top spot despite the release of four lower profile flicks including Armored, Brothers, Everybody's Fine and Transylmania.

With the success of both New Moon and the Sandra Bullock football based The Blind Side, it would appear a extreme long shot that any of these films could dislodge New Moon from the number one spot.

Armored stars Matt Dillon, Jean Reno and Laurence Fishburne about a hei...
