Love and Other Drugs: 'not all rainbows and butterflies'. Inside account from the CMJ screening

Although we had those wonderful pictures of Jake Gyllenhaal and Ed Zwick posing outside the theatre for the CMJ screening last week, there was very little from inside. But thanks to Queenie Darleen, who sat just across from Jake and yet had a steady hand for photographs, we have an account with photos. Many thanks to Queenie for permission to post the very fine picture below. You can read the full account and see more photos at Queenie's site.


Here's Queenie's view of the film: 'Love and Other Drugs is not a typical romantic comedy, in fact, Jake and Ed said they like to call it an Emotional Comedy because there’s drama, and it’s not all rainbows and butterflies. There’s a lot of funny scenes but there’s sad ones as well— I cried. There’s a lot of nudity and the role of women is very different.' Thank you very much for sharing, Queenie!

Hysteria

Maggie Gyllenhaal's new project continues to grow with some new names added. This is another example of a film in which Maggie (and Jake) appear as the sole American amongst a cast of well-established British actors. Gemma Jones, for example, is an actress I spent my Saturday evenings watching as a small child. She was the Duchess of Duke Street long before she was relegated to Harry Potter's nurse.



Thanks to Queenie for the photo!

I saw RED today and thoroughly enjoyed it. You can read my review at MovieBrit!
