Movies to Watch - Game Change

I'm sure all of you know by now I'm a political junkie, and that nothing pleases me more than to piss off Gay Republicans (oxy), or Republicans in general.  haha, but I still love ya! :-).  I'm just kidding.

Everyone has their views, and I respect that. So long as it doesn't constitute using vulgar words or calling each other names. I'm cool with debating religion or politics.  I enjoy it.

My only thing is... 

I CAN'T WAIT FOR THIS MOVIE!!!

A couple of weeks ago HBO released their teaser for it's upcoming adaptation of Mark Halperin and John Heilemann's book Game Change, and it seems like it's going to be a thriller of a movie.  Just so you know, Mark Halperin was suspended in 2004 from MSNBC for calling President Obama "a dick" on the Morning Joe show.  Regardless, the movie is about all the inside information Mark received from the McCain and Palin camps during the 2008 Presidential campaign.  And it doesn't look very good for Sarah Palin.  I'm thinking she won't be portrayed very nicely.  The movie stars Julianne Moore as Sarah Palin, Ed Harris as John McCain, Woody Harrelson as Steve Schmidt and many others.

While the book does mention the Hillary Clinton-Barack Obama primary fight, their story is not in this movie.  This is more about what transpired when McCain chose Sarah Palin as his running mate.

Game Change - The Sarah Palin Movie Casts Hottie, Justin Gaston

Sarah Palin is looking pretty good these days...  ha, ha, ha, gotcha!  This is not Sarah Palin - it's Julianne Moore - one of my all time favorite actresses. She will be playing the Alaska governor in the upcoming HBO movie, Game Change.  The Hollywood Reporter released this image of her yesterday and I'd have to say, she looks really darn good.

The actress nails Palin's look with a bright suit, patriotic flag pin and similar glasses. She also ditched her trademark red hair for Palin's brown style, which she wears in a look-alike updo.  Production begins on Wednesday for the movie, directed by Jay Roach and written by Danny Strong. Tom Hanks and Gary Goetzman are executive producers.  Ed Harris plays John McCain in the film, which follows the Arizona U.S. Senators failed 2008 Republican presidential bid. Woody Harrelsonplays Steve Schmidt, McCain's senior adviser. Temple Grandin’s Melissa Farman will play Bristol Palin, The Hollywood Reporter first reported Tuesday.

How dare they forget to mention the most important actor of all, Justin Gaston to their column.   He's playing Levi Johnston after all; Levi is Bristol's ex-husband.  

Of course Justin is a thousand times hotter.

Movies to Watch: Crazy Stupid Love

Call me stupid, call me crazy, or just call it Crazy Stupid Love, But after watching the trailer to this movie, I think my partner and I are going to fall in love all over again - with Ryan Gosling.

In just this 2-1/2 minute clip, Ryan has managed to get naked, not once, but twice; And I'm loving every minute of it.

The movie actually seems pretty interesting; It's a comedy, romance / drama.  Some old school actors are in it, alongside Marissa Tomei and Kevin Bacon are Steve Carell, Julianne Moore, and Josh Groban's first time as an actor.  

According to Wikipedia:

Cal Weaver (Steve Carell) is living the dream - he's got a good job, nice house, and great kids. Cal gets the surprise of his life when he learns his wife Emily (Julianne Moore) wants a divorce. His "perfect" life quickly unravels. In today's single world, Cal, who hasn't dated in decades, stands out as Mr. Unsmooth. Spending his free evenings sulking at a local bar, Cal is taken on as a "wingman" to handsome thirty-something player Jacob Palmer (Ryan Gosling). In an effort to help Cal start living his life again, Jacob opens Cal's eyes to the many options before him: flirty women, manly drinks and a sense of style. They aren't the only ones looking for love in what might be all the wrong places: Cal's 13-year-old son is crazy about his 17-year-old babysitter, Jessica (Analeigh Tipton) who harbors a crush on Cal. And despite Cal's makeover, the one thing that can't be made over is his heart, which seems to keep leading him back to where he began.
