Hotties: Scott Speedman & Mark Ruffalo

Synopsis
Ever feel like your life's been a dream and you're only just waking up? Sarah Polley (GO, eXistenZ) stars as Ann, a young wife and mother who's recently been diagnosed with a terminal illness. After vowing to keep her terrible news a secret, Ann begins living with an intensity she never thought possible.

With senses heightened and passions rekindled, she quickly begins putting her life in order: taping love letters to her husband Don ("FELICITY'"s Scott Speedman) and birthday greetings to her two small girls, making peace with her parents; and seeking solace in the arms of a handsome but lonely stranger (Mark Ruffalo, YOU CAN COUNT ON ME). Gripping, joyful and sensitive, MY LIFE WITHOUT ME is a touching tale for today that challenges us to live as if there were no tomorrow.

I know.  I found the trailer on YouTube and thought, no, I'm not going
out of my way to see this one
.  Jack Sparrow does it for me... but I'm also
looking forward to seeing him play John Dillinger.

Celluloid Hottie:   Salim Kechiouche




Plot: Paul and Agnes have been going out for quite a while and Agnes is shocked to learn that he'd rather live with two roommates on campus than move in with her. As soon as he meets one of his roommates, Louis-Anault, Paul's behavior changes - he is attracted to Louis without realizing so himself. Agnes, on the other hand, gets quite jealous and offers a bet: Whoever gets to have Louis-Anault first, wins... If she does, Paul will no longer explore his homosexual desires, if he does - she'll walk away. Meanwhile, Paul meets Mecir, a young Arab worker, who shows him there's more to life than elite colleges...

Now Photobucket is censoring MOVIE posters?!!  This is getting ridiculous, is it owned by WalMart or something?  I have to find a less prudish image hosting site!  Any isuggestions?

EDIT:  Let's see how long the same image lasts at IMAGE SHACK:

From IMDb:  While on vacation in a resort in Mexico, the Americans -- Jeff, his girlfriend Amy, her best friend Stacy, and her boyfriend Eric -- befriend the German Mathias in the swimming pool. Mathias invites the group to visit the ruins of a Mayan temple with his Greek friend Dimitri in an archeological field where his brother Henrich and his girlfriend are camped eighteen kilometers far from the resort. They hire an old taxi and when they reach the spot, they are surrounded by Mayan villagers armed with revolver, rifle and bow-and-arrow that kill Dimitri and do not allow the group to leave the place....

"S" is The Spirit (2008)
« Reply #4978 on: September 13, 2008, 04:29:24 pm »
Plot Summary:   Down these mean streets a man must come. A hero born, murdered, and born again. When a Rookie cop named Denny Colt returns from the beyond as The Spirit, a hero whose mission is to fight against the bad forces from the shadows of Central City. The Octopus who kills anyone unfortunate enough to see his face who has other plans. He's going to wipe out the entire city. The Spirit tracks this cold hearted killer from the city's rundown warehouses, to the damp catacombs, to the windswept waterfront all the while facing a bevy of beautiful women who either want to seduce, love or kill the masked crusader.

Hottie:Eric Balfour (plays Mahmoud)

==COMMENT==
S was an embarrassment of riches!  When I saw this amazing pic of Eric looking all St Sebastian-like I had to fit it in somehow.  He only plays a secondary role in this film but I liked the poster so i used it.

Oh, and I can't stand Parker Stevenson, and not just because of the eighties hair  :laugh:
