Buried Directed by Rodrigo Cortés


Ryan Reynolds stars in the Sundance film Buried, directed by Rodrigo Cortés.

I watched a brief and spoiler free review of this film by Erik Strifler and was intrigued straight away.

Here is what I know.

-The entire film takes place in a coffin, a roomy one but a coffin none the less.

-There is one actor who caries the whole film. All 90 minutes of it. In the coffin the entire time.

When I was halfway through watching Erik's review I was assuming this was some sort of David Blaine styled documentary. Then Erik mentioned plot twists and I paused the review and searched for the trailer, insanely curious.


The trailer showed that this was indeed a piece of fiction.



What I want to know is how Rodrigo keeps the audience interested.

Bill Kaulitz Models for DSquared2 in Milan

Breaking news! German lead singer, Bill Kaulitz, from the rock band Tokio Hotel has opened the DSquared fashion show in Milan moments ago.

The runway is designed like an ice rink with hockey sticks and goals at each end of the runway.

Bill emerged from a cage and is wearing an extraterrestrial outfit while the song Scream from the english Tokio Hotel album 'Scream' played. 'Screamin' off of Tokio Hotel's new album HUMANOID was played as Bill and the DSquared2 twins, Dan and Dean closed the show.

The line is said to be hockey inspired clothes in black and white, baggy, shiny as ice in patent leather, glitter and mesh.

Here are the first pictures to surface.

Tokio Hotel's Bill and Tom Kaulitz Cause GQ Frenzy

German identical twin brothers Bill and Tom Kaulitz, 20, of the band Tokio Hotel are gracing the cover of GQ Germany for the February 2010 issue.

The picture of the iconic Kaulitz twin's cover shot hit the fan sites this past Saturday and there has been frenzy ever since. Bill Kaulitz in his top hat has been dubbed the new "Mad Hatter" among the fans while his brother, Tom, sticks to his usual extra large style with a slight high fashion edge underneath.

Non European fans have been cursing the place where they live as they rabidly search the internet looking for a place to buy this magazine. They also called up their European friends to see if they could get a favor, get the magazine shipped to them .

Today on the Tokio Hotel America fan club an administrator posted the link to the unsuspecting New York magazine store in Manhattan, Magazine Cafe!, that carries GQ Germany. That fortunate store's phones have been ringing off the hook all day and will be for quite while.

I personally called the store and talked to a man in customer service and he told me that if I were to order a copy today and fast that I would be on the "list". I didn't waste any time and placed an order for my copy. I called back with some concerns about packaging and I questioned further into this "list" business. He told me that all the people who were making their orders for this issue, that by the way wont even hit stands in Germany until this Thursday, will be on the list of people who will get their magazines as soon as the store receives them from Germany.
I made conversation with the customer service rep about how their phones were constantly ringing. He said he had never seen something like this before. If I recall correctly the word he used to describe the fans that had been calling as "squeelly".

Yeah, if Tokio Hotel's fans are anything, they're loud.

The February issue of GQ Germany hits stands in Germany on the 14th. The American stores won't receive the issues for another 1-3 weeks following the debut.

If this event tells us anything it's that 2010 will be a Tokio Hotel year.

VMA New Moon Trailer


The trailer that was leaked a couple of days ago is not the same as the trailer that premeired tonight at the Video Music Awards on Mtv.

The one that premiered today was apparently the "extended" version. It wasn't extended by very much though. I'd say no more than 6 seconds or so.
I find my self more excited for the movie after watching the new trailer though. The Volturi is going to get the movies sooo many more fans. All the guys who hear twilight and think cheesy over-rated vampire movie should take a chance with New Moon, the action will get them hooked. The wolves fighting Laurent was so cool looking I'm almost not upset that it is the complete opposite of what happens in the book. :) I mean, Laurent is supposed to run away terrified not give them the "bring it on" look!
The underwater scene looks beautiful too. The cinematography on this film will probably be my favorite thing about this movie from what I can tell from the trailer.
