Demi Moore has filed for divorce from Ashton Kutcher and the latest development says she tried for a mutual settlement with Kutcher but to no avail. Since both sides have lawyered up with big-time divorce-court gunslingers, we could have a nice juicy trial.
Kutcher and Moore were married for six years before they split in 2011 in a highly public separation following allegations that Kutcher had been unfaithful. The actor was reported to have committed adultery with 22-year-old San Diego-based administrative assistant Sara Leal, which was just the latest in a series of infidelity rumors made by media publications against him.

The upcoming “Star Wars: Episode VII” cast, Carrie Fisher has confirmed she will indeed dust off the gold bikini, so to speak, and reprise her role as Princess Leia. “Elderly. She’s in an intergalactic old folks’ home. I just think she would be just like she was before, only slower and less inclined to be up for the big battle” said this famous actress.

No is not a simple denied statement

When Chilean military dictator Augusto Pinochet, facing international pressure, calls for a referendum on his presidency in 1988, opposition leaders persuade a brash young advertising executive, Rene Saavedra, to spearhead their campaign. With scant resources and constant scrutiny by the despot’s watchmen, Saavedra and his team devise an audacious plan to win the election and free their country from oppression.
This movie is a worthy effort to show how a country really came together and changed its destiny focusing on joy and creativity and trying to leave behind fear and anger. Larraín maintains a studiously ambiguous attitude toward the No campaign, celebrating its success in winning the referendum — though the outcome is known from history, the film still manages to be tense, suspenseful — while asking what was sacrificed in that victory so the director seems to situate the debased state of contemporary politics in this transformation. The No of his title takes on ominous new meaning in that light. Besides, there are some decent ironic moments and the late 1980s ambience is competently brought back to life in costumes and production design. It is a movie that really makes you to think about politics and definitely Pablo Larraín has made interesting films like “Post Mortem” and this one is not an exception.

With his new film, Abbas Kiarostami goes to Tokyo and delves even more deeply into the world of artifice that he explored in his last film. The masquerade begins when Akiko (Rin Takanashi), a call girl, and her client Takashi (Tadashi Okuno), an elderly professor, pretend to be granddaughter and grandfather in order to avoid the wrath of Akiko’s jealous boyfriend when they are caught in a car together. Kiarostami builds layers of secrets into the stories that Akiko and Takashi tell each other; their lies eventually become more real and powerful than the truth and increasingly dismissive of the uninitiated third party that is Akiko’s boyfriend.
The film begins very slowly and focus on the girl’s ‘client’ is an friendly, almost doddery old academic who doesn’t seem to be remotely interested in sex; and almost everything else in the movie – not only motives but even events and identities – appear slippery and ambiguous. It’s not that the story is hard to follow; it’s just so delicate, almost evanescent, that it’s difficult to get a firm grasp on it.
Some tension is introduced when Takashi gives advice to Akiko’s mechanic boyfriend Noriaki (Ryo Kase), who claims to be her fiancé, and may now dangerously find out how Akiko makes money. So this story involves mysterious and troubling with ambiguity intentions in sentimental contours and despite of the action takes place in and around cars some characters’ relationships and moral twists you can get a good message from it. It lacks the dark streak of unpredictability end but this film is full of reflections of life in the typical Japanese style.

A former Britpop rocker who now works on a farm gets caught driving drunk and faces deportation after living in Los Angeles for many years. His efforts to stay in the U.S. force him to confront the past and current demons in his life. Lachlan (Robert Carlyle) is a great choice for a lead in this movie, the film is full of guilt and responsibility with delicate depressing tone. The main character has many behavior elements full of resignation and self-destructive anger especially when he has to face his melodrama with his immigration status in USA. When a bit of behind-the-wheel boozing threatens to get him deported back to the U.K., Lachlan drinks more and suffers more too. Only a reunion with the daughter he never knew can, possibly, save him. Is this would work for this Agriculture worker and ex- rocker? Two thumbs up for this movie.

Fred (Colm Meaney) lives a quiet and isolated life in his car, having lost all hope of improving his situation and re-entering the ranks of society. That all changes when he forms an unlikely friendship with Cathal (Colin Morgan), a dope-smoking 21-year-old with a positive attitude, who becomes his parking lot neighbor. Sharing laughs, and the hard times too, Fred and Cathal find the simple, free pleasures of life.
The screenplay merely hints at everyone’s backstory, but instead of coming off as mysteriously ambiguous but has comedy, melodrama and crime-thriller. Living on the margins is tough but Fred manages to retain its characters’ humanity. The only thing that missed in this movie is a bit of details about both the character’s past life. However, it is a genuinely touching film, both funny and sad moments.
