Rudo Y Cursi

Gael Garcia - Bernal and Diego Luna team up again for another Mexican Film, Rudo Y Cursi. A literal translation would be "Rough and Tacky". The storyis about two brother in Mexico who are trying to accomplish their goals. One wants to becomea footballer and the other a singer.I have not watch this film, but Iwill really soon. However, I don't think it is as amazing as Y tu mama tambien. I have read some of the reviews and they are not that great. We'll see. I'll let you know what I thought about it after watching it.

1, 2...8 1/2, NINE!

In 1963 an Italian filmmaker, Federico Fellini, made a film that has become one of my favorites, 8 1/2 (Otto e mezzo). The movie has nothing to do with numbers or shoe size, it was called 8 1/2, for the simple reason that it was his 8 1/2 production. One of Fellini's first films was a co-production.

In 1982 an adaptation of Fellini's film opened in Broadway. The film had been adapted into a musical called Nine.

Now, following the success of other stage musicals at have been adapted for the silver screen like, Chicago and Hairspray, Nine has also become a feature film. The best part of this new adaptation has to be the cast.

Here's are some names:

Daniel Day-Lewis
Marion Cotillard - Penélope Cruz - Judi Dench
Nicole Kidman - Kate Hudson - Sophia Loren - Stacy Ferguson

I'm most excited to see Fergie, from The Black Eyed Peas, play one of my favorite characters from the original film, Saraghina. Saraghina is a prostitute who lives on the beach and dances for little boy for some coins. I'm also excited to hear Penelope Cruz sing.

OPENS NOVEMBER 25th 2009.
