HENRY CAVILL & CAST OF "IMMORTALS" AT L.A. PREMIERE

Henry Cavill at The Immortals Los Angeles Premiere

The Premiere for Tarsem Singh's Immortals took place tonight at Nokia Theatre L.A. Live and all the gorgeous Cast showed up for the Affair.  Although Freida Pinto (Phaedra) in Antonio Berardi and Isabel Lucas (Athena) looked plenty stunning, all eyes were on Star Henry Cavill (Theseus) looking like godly perfection in Tom Ford.  Cavill took a break from filming the next Superman Film, Man of Steel, in Vancouver to fly-in for a bit of Press.

Immortals centers around Theseus who is chosen to battle against King Hyperion (Mickey Rourke) in his tyrannous rampage throughout Greece, possibly destroying Humanity altogether.  It opens in theatres this Friday, November 11, 2011 via Alliance Films in Canada.

BILL MURRAY AT TIFF PREMIERE FOR "PASSION PLAY"

Veteran actor Bill Murray arrived at Ryerson Theatre earlier tonight for Mitch Glazer's Passion Play, along with mega-fox Megan Fox and Mickey Rourke.  Although the latter two did pop by to do Press and introduce the Film, Murray did stay through the whole film and did a Q&A with the audience afterwards.  

The film is about a girl who is controlled by a Gangster but gets saved by a Trumpet Player.  It is reported that Rourke but more Fox in particular, were wonderful signing as many autographs as they could for fans, while Murray opted only to shake hands at the Red Carpet.  On his way out of the Q&A though I was one of the lucky few who got Murray's coveted signature on my Lost in Translation DVD.  An honour.  

Check out this photo of Murray goofing around with a fan's Camera taking a picture of himself with it:

REVIEW: IRON MAN 2

I'll admit it. I still haven't seen Iron Man 1, but Iron Man 2 stands on its own as a deliciously fun movie-going experience. The story has billionaire Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) at his narcissistic best. Unfortunately the American government sees his inventions, Iron Man armours designed to protect the United States against attack, as being illegal possession of weapons. This threatens his right to his own intellectual property and he defiantly holds his own in proving along with his ally James Rhodes (Don Cheadle) that the benefit of his inventions outweigh their potential risk or harm, discrediting others and their greed to take ownership of his work.

Meanwhile in Russia, Ivan Vanko (Mickey Rourke) is out to avenge the disgracing of his father who worked together many years prior with Tony's father Howard (John Slattery) on an Arc Reactor. Due to limitations in technology at that time however, they were unable to complete their mission. It is Howard's hope that his son will be able to carry on the torch and finish the work his father started.

Convinced that he is dying judging by increasing Toxicity levels in his blood, Tony gives up his title as CEO of Stark Industries, handing this over to his Personal Assistant/love interest Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow). Sexy Natalie Rushman (Scarlett Johansson) is hired as his new assistant.
