Best Movie Dads

Upcoming sunday, june 20th, it's fathersday. I though of a new list: best movie dads. It's not that easy when you start thinking about it. But I was able to make one. Here it is:

Daniel (Liam Neeson in "Love Actually"): He's actually a stepdad to Sam, because he had to take care of him after his wife died. They band when Sam tells Daniel he's in love. Together they try to win over the heart of the young girl.

Will Hayes (Ryan Reynolds in "Definitely, Maybe"): Ryan looks convincing as a dad, when he tells his daughter Maya the story about how he met her mom. Great story, great dad!

Paul Rusesabagina (Don Cheadle in "Hotel Rwanda"): He tries to keep his family save. that's what a good dad does.

Bob Parr/ Mr. Incredible (Craig T. Nelson in "The Incredibles"): He's the head of a superhero family. Awesome right!!

Peter Mitchell, Michael Kellam and Jack Holden (Tom Selleck, Steve Guttenberg and Ted Danson in "Three Men and a Baby"): Three single men, who live together, find a baby on the doorstep. She's actually Jack daughter, but the three of them decide to take care of her and raise her. How cool would it be to have them as dads, all three!

Ed Bloom (Albert Finney in "Big Fish"): He's a little strange, but he tells the best stories.

Ray Ferrier (Tom Cruise in "War of the Worlds"): The end of the world is near, the earth is being attacked. Ray wasn't a father figure for his kids, but when he needed to, he did everything to keep his children save.

Michael Sullivan (Tom Hanks in "Road to Perdition"): His wife and youngest son get killed. Michael flees with his other son, who finds out about his job as a hitman. Not a great rolemodel, but to protect his son he will do everything.

Marlin (Albert Brooks in "Finding Nemo"): Maybe a bit overprotective, but a real dad. He wants to find his son Nemo, whatever it takes.

Pic Spam: Naomi Watts

I decided to do some pic spams. A blog message where I bomb you with pictures of a certain actor/ actress, movie, Tv show, you name it. I thought I'd start with my favorite female in cinema: Naomi Watts. She's awesome!! Here are some photos.

Movie Tip #40 - Inglourious Basterds

Director: Quentin Tarantino

Starring: Brad Pitt, Eli roth, Diane Kruger, Melanie Laurent, Christoph Waltz, Til Schweiger, Daniel Brühl

Description: In Nazi occupied France, young Jewish refugee Shosanna Dreyfus (Melanie Laurent) witnesses the slaughter of her family by Colonel Hans Landa (Christoph Waltz). Narrowly escaping with her life, she plots her revenge several years later when German war hero Fredrick Zoller (Daniel Brühl) takes a rapid interest in her and arranges an illustrious movie premiere at the theater she now runs. With the promise of every major Nazi officer in attendance, the event catches the attention of the "Basterds", a group of Jewish-American guerilla soldiers led by the ruthless Lt. Aldo Raine (brad Pitt). As the relentless executioners advance and the conspiring young girl's plans are set in motion, their paths will cross for a fateful evening that will shake the very annals of history.

Review: Quentin Tarantino is one of the best directors in film history. He hasn't directed much, but when he does, it results in movies that we can (almost) call masterpieces. "Inglourious Basterds" is one of those films. He tells the story in a original way, like only he can. But this is the first time that the movie is fully chronological. There are some catchy flashbacks, like the one were Hugo Stiglitz is introduced. Great roles by Brad Pitt, Eli Roth, Til Schweiger and Diane Kruger. The ones that impressed me the most were off course Christoph Waltz, who won an oscar for his performance. And well deserved, because he steals every scene he's in. The other actor that caught my eye was Melanie Laurent, another name that we didn't know. She plays Shoshanna and her role is very strong and convincing. I hope to see more of her in the future. This film is great, but the ending is a little bit over the top and to 'American'. And the way the basterds caught Landa, no way that would happen. Landa is way to vicious and smart for that. But even then, this movie is a great experience for the eye.

Rachel and Robert

Two of my favorite actors are Rachel McAdams and Robert Downey Jr. so I really loved it when they starred together in "Sherlock Holmes". Great chemistry they had! I recently saw the movie for the second time. I love that movie! So here's a dedication to those actors and to them working together.

Paris Baby!!

Just a quick post from me. Like I said, I had two more layouts to make. The ones in Paris. I'm actually quite happy with both of them. Here they are:

Best Movie Posters

I love movies and I also love their posters. There are so many beautiful movie posters, where do I start. I made a slideshow of some of my favorites. I hope you like it:

Cool huh!?! Sometimes you can't see the whole poster, but you can just click "view all images". That way you can see them all, one at a time.

The last Disney layouts

Here are my last 4 layouts for my trip to Disneyland, Paris.
