HOLLYWOOD SPY'S GUIDE THROUGH SUMMER 2011 ROMANTIC FILMS: EWAN MCGREGOR, CHRIS O'DONNELL, JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE, MILA KUNIS, HUGH JACKMAN, ANNE HATHAWAY ...

I thought that in this summer filled with superhero action movies and sf blockbusters, my ladies could feel a bit left out, so I decided to bring you HOLLYWOOD SPY's GUIDE THROUGH SUMMER 2011 ROMANTIC FILMS! :) Hope my girls, and
some of the romantic boys, will enjoy the list:
MANDY MOORE & KELLAN LUTZ IN "LOVE, WEDDING, MARRIAGE"
Directorial debut of Dermot Mulroney, LOVE, WEDDING, MARRIAGE premieres June 3rd following Ava (Mandy Moore), a marriage counselor whose life as a newlywed to her husband Charlie (Kellan Lutz) is turned upside down when she discovers her parents’ marriage (James Brolin & Jane Seymour) is headed for divorce. Determined to have them reconcile before a planned 30th anniversary surprise party, Ava unleashes a campaign to get them back together. But as the date looms and her parents relationship continues to spiral to its end, her own newlywed bliss starts to fade when she’s caught up in saving their marriage, possibly at the risk of her own. Click for the trailer.
EWAN MCGREGOR IN HEARTWARMING "BEGGINERS"
Also coming out June 3rd is charming romantic comedy BEGINNERS, about Oliver (Ewan McGregor) who meets the
irreverent and unpredictable Anna only months after his father Hal (Christopher Plummer) has passed away. This new love floods Oliver with memories of his father who, following 44 years of marriage, came out of the closet at age 75 to live a full, energized, and wonderfully tumultuous gay life. The upheavals of Hal's new honesty, by turns funny and moving, brought father and son closer than they'd ever been able to be. Now Oliver endeavors to love Anna with all the bravery, humor, and hope that his father taught him. Click for the trailer.
JENNA FISCHER NEEDS "A LITTLE HELP"
On June 24th, we shall watch A LITTLE HELP,  about Laura (Jenna Fischer) whose life has begun to take some dark and difficult turns. Her marriage to a real estate agent (Chris O’Donnell) has become tense and loveless, she even suspects that
he’s cheating, and her relationship with her 12 year-old son Dennis has become strained as well, his emerging adolescence having turned him typically sullen and hostile. And she is not dealing well with it - she’s drinking and smoking too much, her self-esteem and confidence are in free fall. When her husband suddenly dies  she gets surrounded by her intrusive mother and sister who bring even more problems to her life. In that mess, she finds comfort in her sister's husband and they become drawn to each other in difficult circumstances despite the obvious complications and dangers that this implies. Click for the trailer.
JUSTIN & MILA ARE "FRIENDS WITH BENEFITS"
July 22nd will bring us probably the biggest romantic film this summer FRIENDS WITH BENEFITS. Directed by talented and
super charming Will Gluck (Easy-A) this adorable film revolves around Dylan (Justin Timberlake) and Jamie (Mila Kunis) who think it's going to be easy to add the simple act of sex to their friendship, despite what Hollywood romantic comedies would have them believe. They soon discover, however, that getting physical really does always lead to complications. The film also stars Emma Stone, Patricia Clarkson and Woody Harrelson. Click for the trailer.
SELENA & LEIGHTON GO TO "MONTE CARLO"
July 1st brings two popular teen stars to cinemas in a romantic comedy MONTE CARLO in which young TV stars Selena Gomez and  Leighton Meester are joined by Andie MacDowell and GLEE's Cory Monteith. The film is actually an adaptation of the hit novel "Headhunters" by Jules Bass about about three Midwestern school teachers who ditch a disappointing no-frills holiday in Paris and pose as wealthy women vacationing in Monaco. Click for the trailer.
EPIC DRAMA IN "SNOW FLOWER AND THE SECRET FAN"
On July 15th we shall finally watch opulent epic drama on romance, love and deep friendship in long awaited Asian set film SNOW FLOWER AND THE SECRET FAN by acclaimed director Wayne Wang with Hugh Jackman in the cast.  The movie adaptation of the bestselling novel by Lisa See is set in 19th century remote China, and it revolves around the lifelong friendship of Lily and Snow Flower and their imprisonment by rigid cultural codes of conduct for women. Click for the trailer.
ANNE HATHAWAY'S LOVE IN "ONE DAY"
August will bring us lovely romantic story in ONE DAY, again an adaptation of a hit novel, in which Anne Hathaway and Jim Sturgess play two people who meet on the night of their college
graduation – July 15th, 1988. She is a working-class girl of principle and ambition who dreams of making the world a better place.

ROMANTIC MONDAY: "JANE EYRE" WITH MICHAEL FASSBENDER, JUDI DENCH AND JAMIE BELL. "ONE DAY" WITH ANNE HATHAWAY AND JIM STURGESS

Here are two romantic films which are coming to cinemas next year for all of you who like a bit of love magic in your movies.
First there's the new adaptation of JANE EYRE by Charlotte Bronte. With the star studded cast including Michael FassbenderJudi Dench, Imogen Poots, Jamie Bell, Mia Wasikovska ... the film follows Jane Eyre who flees Thornfield
House, where she works as a governess for wealthy Edward Rochester. As she reflects upon the people and emotions that have defined her, it is clear that the isolated and imposing residence, and Mr. Rochester's coldness, have sorely tested the young woman's resilience, forged years earlier when she was orphaned. She must now act decisively to secure her own future and come to terms with the past that haunts her - and the terrible secret that Mr. Rochester is hiding and that she has uncovered... If you ask me, since Wasikovska lacks charisma, I think Imogen Poots would've been much much better as Jane. I will watch the film for Fassbender and my dear Judi Dench.


The second film is ONE DAY with inescapable Anne Hathaway and Jim Sturgess which has a very interesting plot: the film charts an extraordinary relationship. Emma and Dexter meet on the night of their college graduation - July 15th, 1988. She is a working-class girl of principle and ambition who dreams of making
the world a better place. He is a wealthy charmer who dreams that the world will be his playground. For the next two decades, every July 15th reveals to us how "Em" and "Dex" are faring, as their friendship ebbs and flows with the passing of the years. Through love and loss, heartbreak and success, hopes fulfilled and dreams shattered, they experience the grandeur of life. Somewhere along their journey, these two people realize that what they are searching and hoping for has been there for them all along.

ADORABLE ROMANTIC COMEDY "FRIENDS WITH BENEFITS" WITH JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE AND MILA KUNIS

Ah, here's my own most anticipated romantic film of the year FRIENDS WITH BENEFITS starring the irresistible couple Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis. The trailer for this superb romantic comedy must be the sexiest and at the same time the most hilarious trailer I've seen in a long time. Justin, who is proving his stunning talent with every new film he makes, is absolutely flawless in it showing an astounding comical talent and charm, while gorgeous Mila Kunis is sexier and wittier than ever and definitely deserves some bigger roles in Hollywood.

Directed by Will Gluck (EASY A, FIRED UP) and premiering July 22nd, the film also stars Woody Harrelson, Emma Stone, Richard Jenkins,
Jenna Elfman, Patricia Clarkson, Bryan Greenberg and Andy Samberg. The film follows a female headhunter (Mila Kunis), coming out of disastrous relationships, and her newest client turned best friend (Justin Timberlake) who make a "friends with benefits" pact vowing to stop the casual sex if either become emotionally attached. While the set-up works at first, soon the two friends fall in love and must reevaluate what they mean to each other.As you can see from the trailer, FRIENDS WITH BENEFITS has a lot of steamy scenes in which they are both naked, so here's what Mila said about shooting those scenes: We had two weeks worth of sex scenes to shoot. Justin would just
wear a sock that covered his frontal parts, so yeah, I could pretty much see everything. And I had tiny nipple pasties and a little pasty on my hoohah.We couldn’t have been more uncomfortable in the beginning, but by the fourteenth day, we’d just drop our robes, like, "Hey, how’s it goin?"
Imagine having a job in which you would work with nude Mila or nude Justin :)
Both Mila and Justin had a successful 2010, she had a great performance in BLACK SWAN while he shined in THE SOCIAL NETWORK. Justin also has two other films coming out this year: sf action NOW (previously titled I'M.MORTAL) with Amanda Seyfried, Cillian Murphy, Olivia Wilde and Alex Pettyfer,  and crazy comedy BAD TEACHER with Jason Segel and Cameron Diaz.

And don't forget that over at Dempsey's THE MOVIE411 site you can read the second part of DEZMOND'S BEST LIVING ACTRESSES, so be lovely as you are, head over there and leave a comment :)
