Daniel Radcliffe admits acting doesn’t come naturally
Daniel Radcliffe may have made millions playing Harry Potter, but he’s admitted in a new interview that acting doesn’t come naturally to him.
During a talk with Virgin Media, the actor revealed that he probably landed the part of Harry because of his resemblance to the boy wizard.
“I think there’s a perception that we got the parts because we looked right,” he says. “I think that’s probably quite fair…”
50 Best Indie Films
Lost In Translation (2003)
The Film: Jaded movie star Bob Harris (Bill Murray), stuck in Tokyo, strikes up an unlikely friendship with equally bored hipster Charlotte (Scarlett Johansson)
Indie Cred: Sofia Coppola’s swooning not-quite romance that defied occasional lapses in taste to become a modern love story. Also: brownie points for getting Kevin Shields off his arse to do the music.
If It Had Been A Blockbuster: We’d have heard Bob’s final words to Charlotte, and they’d be banal greeting card platitudes.
Sherlock Holmes: A Game Of Shadows gets new images
A new batch of images and posters from the upcoming Sherlock Holmes: A Game Of Shadows have been unveiled online.
First up: the posters. Continuing the smoky blue iconography used in the first film’s one sheets, here we have one for Sherlock (Robert Downey Jr) and one for Watson (Jude Law).
Each also shows off a key supporting character, with enticing glimpses of Jared Harris as villain Moriarty and a gypsied-up Noomi Rapace...
Megan Fox denies botox operation on Facebook
A defiant Megan Fox has released photos on Facebook in order to allay rumours that she has undergone procedures to inject botox.
The Internet blogosphere and high street tabloids alike have been awash with speculation surrounding the legitimacy of the actress’ natural good looks.
But it seems that the star has decided to fight back, uploading images onto Facebook displaying several feats of facial gymnastics that only a non-botoxed person could supposedly perform…
Rupert Grint feels “empty and lost” now Potter’s over
Rupert Grint is having a difficult time letting go of the Harry Potter films, saying that he feels “empty and lost”.
Many people are feeling a bit glum in the wake of the franchise’s final release, but none more so than Grint as he told the press:
“I loved every minute of it, and I’m really going to miss it. I felt empty and a bit lost, and it’s taken me a while to accept it’s over…”
Best & Worst: Friends Movies
The Good Girl (2002)
The Friend: Jennifer Aniston
The Movie: Aniston makes good by pairing up with influential indie director Miguel Arteta - and in an instant we’ve forgotten all about the romcom fluff she’s been pedalling since the mid ‘90s. Barely cracking a smile, her ‘Rachel hair’ is scraped back into unforgiving ponytails as Aniston breathes snarky misery into supermarket worker Justine.
Married to the doltish Phil (John C Reilly), Justine’s bored. Bored at home. Bored at work. Then she meets passionate young checkout boy Holden (Jake Gyllenhaal), and trips into a fiery affair.
Easily Aniston’s most accomplished screen performance, Good Girl finds the actress being bold and daring for the first time. Outside of her comfort zone, she’s electric as Justine – frumpy, miserable and borderline unlikeable. Ironically, it makes us like Aniston all the more…
Rosario Dawson calls comedians “dark, negative people”
Rosario Dawson, leading actress in new talking animal comedy Zookeeper, has said that comedians “tend to be pretty dark.”
Of her current co-star, Kevin James, Dawson was happy to compliment calling him “sweet” and “loving”.
But regarding the rest of the funny men and women she’s worked with, Dawson remarked, “I’ve spent a lot of time with comedians over the years and I love some comedians, but they can tend to be pretty dark, negative people…”
