Happy Birthday to
Benicio Del Toro
42 today
Another attractive in an unconventional way actor - it's the way I like them - Benicio is on a bit of a role at the moment. I'm eagerly anticipating the second part of Che (hopefully opening this weekend) and he also has The Wolfman in November to propel him to the top of the Box Office. There are also rumours that he's to play one of the Jesuits in Scorcese's Silence. Now that a pairing the world needs to see.

Trailer - Che Part 2
After the incredible first part of Che, I'm on the edge of my seat lookiong forward to part 2. Che's destiny takes him from Cuba to Bolivia, to another country struggling to bring democracy to the people. Only here they are ready for him.

Trailers - Che
Here is the Spansih trailer for Che/The Argentine/Guerilla. Personally I would rather see the pair together as one film, but that will depend on how it's distributed here in the UK, if at all.
So many question marks over seeing this film - even when everything about it gets me tingling.

Coming Soon (Definitely - Cannes edition)
I've been looking at Box Office Mojo again, and there's a few new scheduled opening dates that I that you may like to share.
Blindness
A UK opening date of 14 November has been announced. Despite the lukewarm reaction at Cannes I'm still quite keen on seeing Meirelles' latest opus, the trailers have indicated a dreamy quality in the cinematography very different from the tone of the book and this should be a good enough reason to rush to see it.
What Just Happened
Actully this looks a bit rubbish - like a poor man's The Player - however I'm willing to give this fading Hollywood producer tale a try if only because Barry Levinson and Robert De Niro have both gone 10 years without a decent film and maybe their Wag the Dog reunion may be something interesting.
Like Blindness and What Just Happened this slice of life drama also debuted at Cannes, with significantly better press and the best actress award for Sandra Corveloni. The plot - four boys from the slums try to improve their lives in different ways - may be as old as time, but I'm hoping for a fantastic work from Walter Salles and Daniela Thomas.
The Argentine/Guerilla
We in the UK now have relaease dates for Steven Soderbergh love letters to Che Guevara 02 January and 20 February respectively. Benicio Del Toro won the best actor award at Cannes for the combined "Che" and it will certainly be interesting to see these films. Perhaps most interesting about these dates is whilst Optimum has announced them for here there is still no distributer for the US market in any form. You would have thought this was a guaranteed best actor oscar nomination - biopic, well liked star, he dies at the end - however if Focus Features don't pull their fingure out and organise a relaease strategy it could end up being a wasted opportunity.
