"There's always this gaping hole left in every single military family household. And that hole is rarely seen"
She was amazing in Leon, terrible in The Phantom Menace but thankfully great again in pretty much everything since particularly Closer (for the pole-dancing scene alone) and, of course, new flick Brothers, out this week.
Playing a war wife who seeks comfort from her brother in-law after her husband goes AWOL in Afghanistan, the 28-year-old is back on top form (i.e, she’s no longer sporting the bald look she debuted in V for Vendetta). However, it’s not all about looks with Nat the Harvard graduate is a bit of a boffin too, although, as she tells Playboy, she’s not so hot on politics right now luckily the elfin beauty is quite happy to chat about intimate moments with her co-star and her gripes with Hollywood though… Read more
Home-made tattoos, senile grandmothers and a rebel without a cause; the film 'Hesher' is all that it promised to be. This film, Directed by Spencer Susser, premiered earlier in the week in the dramatic competition category of Sundance.
'Hesher' follows the story of T.J., a preteen boy who just lost his mother to a car crash and his near-comatose dad to a couch and a bottle of pills. T.J. and his father move in with his grandmother where T.J. clashes with a local bully, falls in love with a girl that works at the grocery store and encounters a malnutrionened, greasy-haired drifter. Cue Hesher, the inordinately crude twenty-something who breaks into T.J.'s house, commandeers his laundry room and claims their garage as his new place of residence. T.J. seems awed yet terrified at this rebel who just doesn't seem to care about anything or anyone, at times including himself.
Perhaps the most noticeable oddity of this film is the casting of Joseph Gordon Levitt in a role that is drastically different from his previous works. However, Levitt handles this transition extraordinarily well, toting long black hair and leaving the good guy act behind in his most recent work "(500) Days of Summer" in Sundance '09. From the moment that Hesher is introduced into the film, he takes control of the vulnerable grief-stricken family and fills the house with his many creative variations of the f-word and constant cigarette smoking, a presence that is hardly easy to ignore.
Natalie Portman also appears in this film after she heroically tackles the bully off of T.J. in front of the grocery store where she works to pay the rent in her dumpy apartment. Although Portman has lovingly dorky clothes and plays her part well, her full potential acting ability isn't able to shine through this character. T.J. is played by Devin Brochu, who makes an excellent first impression as a young actor in playing this young boy whose emotions range from extreme grief and vulnerability to times where he is just as cold and rebellious as his almost mentor, Hesher.
Although providing a few laughs, 'Hesher' never goes too soft. Every character in this film is living in a world of grief, proving a film that is too dark to be accepted by mainstream audiences who delight in happy endings and easy solutions. Although Hesher at some points attempts to actually help T.J. or the family, his efforts end in destruction or disappointment, and he never truly shows his "good side."
Hesher breaks all the rules, swears excessively and is more than the average 'misfit'; but that's why we love him.

Natalie at #2 on "The 50 Most Beautiful Women In The World"
The 50 Most Beautiful Women In The World According To DMSR (Dance, Music, Sex and Romance)
2. Natalie Portman I met Natalie Portman by accident about two years ago in a trainer/sneaker shop in Brick Lane, East London and in the flesh she is radiant and flawless, she has amazing skin and a personality that is so down to earth and normal and that self assured attitude makes her sexiness bewilder you. Someone again who has grown up in the media eye and even has a degree from Harvard. Beauty and Brains and dated Devandra Bernhardt, who is an amazing conscious musician!
Video: Natalie Portman sends her remote regards to the Sundance 2010 crowd
Natalie Portman sending her best wishes to the crowd at the premiere of her film Hesher. It turns out the actress/producer was working in New York and couldn’t break away; it was perhaps the first time a star addressed a Sundance screening in absentia.
Festival director John Cooper upstaged her, though, all but blushing after Portman blew a kiss and cooed “I love you” to the audience. “Wow, that was big,” Cooper said from the stage. “Seeing her lips like that? So sexy! And I don’t even like girls!” No worries, John; she’s known to have that effect on people.
Natalie Portman and her reluctant Millepied leg it to Britain
Actress Natalie Portman is to move to Britain with her ballet dancer boyfriend - whether he likes it or not.
Notoriously private Natalie caused a stir in the States after it
was revealed that Frenchman Benjamin Millepied, 32, had a live-in
girlfriend of three years when he and Natalie, 28, met recently on the
set of the film Black Swan.
Sources say she has insisted they escape the US paparazzi by moving
their fledgling romance to the UK as her next film project, Pride And
Prejudice And Zombies, gets under way.
‘Natalie hopes to get some privacy in England,’ says a source.
‘She is adamant Benjamin should spend some time with her.’
by Tom Macklin COVER: Natalie Portman ISSUE: February 2010 LOCATION: New York DATE: Sunday 19th October 2009 ELLE TEAM: Tom Macklin, Marissa Bourke PHOTOGRAPHER: David Slijper HAIR: Jonathan Conelly MAKE-UP: Jeanine Lobell STYLIST: Sasa Thomann
Milk Studios in New York’s Meat Packing district was the setting for our February cover shoot with Natalie Portman. Ever since we first clapped eyes on the trailer for BROTHERS last spring, Portman’s brilliant new film with Tobey Maguire and Jake Gyllenhaal, we decided to pursue her for her first ever UK ELLE cover. All in all it’s taken about 6 months of negotiations between myself and Natalie’s publicist Tamar to get to the shoot day, discussing photographer options, hair and make-up teams and the interview. We decide to shoot in NY as Natalie is filming BLACK SWAN here, playing a ballerina which has seen her in intensive dance training for the past 6 months. The interview takes place the day before at The Greenwich Hotel.
Portman arrives early, her rescue dog Whizz in tow. We banter whilst tucking into the vegan breakfast, bonding over our mutual dog-love. Even though she is dressed down in casual attire, hair scrapped back and no make-up she still exudes this incredibly beauty.
Shooting begins and we start with the cover look, Natalie dressed in a
silk-chiffon Chanel dress and Dolce and Gabanna body, some hardcore hip
hop booming through the speakers (her favourite, we hear). Next we opt
for the black Dolce and Gabanna two piece, Natalie jokes she feels “a
little bit slutty” as she is perched on a stool in front of the camera.
We complete 7 set ups in total and shoot for 8 hours. Portman is happy
to experiment at one point wigs are suggested and she is game, but
after playing around with a selection of crops and messed up shoulder
length styles, we opt to work with her own unexpectedly long hair.
This cover is all about Portman, the grown up. We wanted to move away
from her usual understated style and make a much stronger fashion
statement. With a muted colour palette and designs by Chanel, Lanvin,
Dolce and Gabanna, Giambattista Valli and Sacai the end result was
elegant & alluring, and I have to say one of my favourite covers.
Portman bids farewell, complete with a burn on her knee courtesy of the
piping hot studio radiator. We head to Soho House for dinner and crack
open a bottle of wine to celebrate. Great cover, and well done team!
The full shoot and interview appears in the February issue of ELLE, here.
'Brothers' is going to be released on DVD and Blu-ray on March 23, 2010. There will be a couple featurettes and a Sheridan commentary on the Blu-ray version, so if you want to pre-order from now, choose: DVD / Blu-ray
Is Natalie Portman a home wrecker? The notoriously private actress has reportedly been dating Benjamin Millepied,
32, the New York City Ballet dancer who's choreographing her new movie,
"The Black Swan." "They've been dating since the fall, although she
told friends that she hasn't gone public with it because she was
waiting to see if things got serious," a source tells Page Six. "But
the real reason she was quiet about things is that Ben had a live-in
girlfriend of three years when they met. She was a ballerina at the
American Ballet Theater. She had been talking about marrying him and
was blindsided by the split. She moved out right after New Year's Eve."
A spokeswoman for Portman said, "We have no comment about her personal
life."
30 Non-Mainstream Films from 2010 to be excited for
Your Highness Directed by David Gordon Green Starring Danny McBride, James Franco, Natalie Portman, Justin Theroux Written by Danny McBride & Ben Best
The Gist Danny
McBride is the slacker prince whose brother, James Franco, is always
running off on heroic quests and slaying dragons. When Franco rescues a
young maiden from an evil wizard and the wizard wants revenge things
get real bad. McBride is forced to go off on a quest with his brother,
picking up a sexy ranger (Natalie Portman) along the way. Minotaurs,
magic, monsters and occasional bong hits follow.
Participants to Watch David Gordon Green proved that he could do comedy with Pineapple Express, and it looks like Your Highness is him in fine form. Green plays everything dead straight, uninterested in going for just cheap gags. It worked with Pineapple, perfectly capturing the feeling of 80s films like Midnight Run. How will it work here? My money is on very well.
Danny McBride isn't just the star of the film, he wrote it with Ben Best, one of the other minds behind Foot Fist Way and Eastbound and Down.
McBride brings the kind of unearned pomposity only he and Will Ferrell
seem to be able to pull off, but Danny always brings it just a shade
darker.
Justin Theroux is incredible. I visited the set of this
movie and got to see him in action, and to see some of his ridiculous
wardrobe, and I have to say that this is a movie that will catapult
him to the next level. The guy is hot as hell in Hollywood - he wrote Iron Man 2! - but this role will turn him into somebody that average audiences know and love. It's a brave and insane performance. Read more
Star Wars Re-released in 3D: Am I the Only One Who's Excited?
Generally
speaking, this isn't new news. George Lucas has been talking about
re-releasing the entire series in theatres and doing so in 3D since
Revenge of the Sith came out. However, it wasn't until seeing Avatar
and its magnificent use of 3D that he decided the technology and
support is ready. After experiencing the immersion of 3D in Avatar,
I can't help but think this has potential to be amazing. The thing is,
almost all reactions I've read about it are quite negative.
Now,
I get what some people's problems are. George has re-released the
originals many times and has a tendency to change them every time he
does. The only true problem I had with the re-edits (outside of fully
believing that Han did shoot first) is that nearly unbearable musical
number that was added at the beginning of Return of the Jedi.
Honestly, if George was going to make a change to Jedi, he should have
tried editing out the Ewoks rather than change the first (and much
stronger) half of the movie. But honestly, I can't see him changing
much more outside of tweaking some special effects, and when it comes
to that, I honestly don't have a huge problem. Give me a second to
defend myself before you start cursing at me.
Since the original
trilogy comes after the new movies, the graphics jump between the two
can be jarring when you watch them in chronological order. Therefore,
tweaking the effects to "bridge the gap" and ensure a more cohesive
movie experience seems, at the very least, justifiable. Also, the
whole point of special effects shots is to blend into the rest of the
movie and keep the illusion going. If the effects look bad and dated
that runs the risk of taking people out of the moment (and in some
cases causing them to laugh out loud). Of course then some snob-ier
Star Wars "fans" would say you should just skip the new trilogy all
together which brings me to a major point of my excitement. Lucas will
undoubtedly re-edit the new movies and lets be honest, episode 1 and 2
could only benefit from this.
The obvious green screen effect
that exists in all of the new movies could be greatly reduced with
today's technology. Look at Avatar. The combo was of live action and
CG was seamless. I also like to think that Lucas isn't above changing
Jar Jar's voice and maybe taking out a few of Anakin's yippies in
Episode 1. Granted, there isn't going to be a way for technology to
add chemistry between Natalie Portman and Hayden Christianson. Still,
its Star Wars! In 3D! I still remember being 12 and watching Episode
1 in theatres and being blown away by the final lightsaber duel. Sure
the movie doesn't seem near as good to me now, but that doesn't mean I
wouldn't love to see that movie in theatres again in 3D.
If I
am going to be truly honest here though folks, I want to see the
original trilogy in theatres, especially Empire Strikes Back. I've
watched those movies an obscene amount of times, but the thought of
seeing them on the big screen (and in 3D), I can share the experience
that drove so many modern filmmakers to become the people they are
today. Star Wars inspired endless lists of things and that started in
the theatres. So for the haters, the bitter people, the negative
people that no one ever wants to be around, let me have this. I
deserve the chance to see the originals the way they were meant to be
seen (even if it isn't in their original state).
But enough about me, what do you guys think? Leave feedback, be blunt, be honest.
P.S.
If they could tweak or cut the "NNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"
scream at the end of Episode 3, I would probably rate that movie a
whole 5 to 10 % higher. Serious, the scream kills all the momentum at
the end.
Video: Spencer Susser on 'Hesher' during the 2010 Sundance Film Festival
Spencer Susser, the director of Natalie's upcoming film "Hesher" tell us about the movie and working with Natalie and the other actors during the 2010 Sundance Film Festival. Plus, some clips of the film.
Hesher
Directed by: Spencer Susser
Written by: Spencer Susser and David Michτd (screenplay), Brian Charles Frank (story)
Starring: Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Natalie Portman, Rainn Wilson, Piper Laurie, John Carroll Lynch, Devin Brochu
Joseph Gordon-Levitt is everywhere at this year’s festival. Not only
is he starring in two films in the line-up, but he is hanging out at
one of the venues promoting his project HitRECord and talking to anyone who goes in.
Hesher is the first of his films to be shown and sees him playing
the title role. The story centers around a young boy, TJ, whose mother
was recently killed in a car accident, which has turned his family
upside down. His father (played excellently by Rainn Wilson) is heavily
medicated, spending the majority of his time asleep on the sofa while
they stay with his elderly grandmother.
The film opens with TJ cycling manically to follow the
car his mother was killed in as it’s being towed away. He ends up
losing the tow truck and then being chased by the school bully, leading
him to dart down an alley and cycle over a hole, which flings him into
the dirt. Out of frustration he smashes a window of the abandoned
building Hesher is residing in. This alerts the police and we get our
first idea of Hesher’s character as he throws a stick of dynamite out
through the window to create a diversion in which to escape.
