As an actor, you know the thrill is gone when verbally emasculating Ryan Gosling whilst wearing a leopard-print dress just doesn’t cut it for you anymore. And Kristin Scott Thomas may have reached that point, if the acclaimed actress’s recent comments during an interview with the Guardian are to be believed.
Speaking during a promotional tour for her upcoming film The Invisible Woman, Scott Thomas revealed that her Hollywood career is at an end after snarking that she considers herself to be a “recovering actress.” She added:
I realised I’ve done the things I know how to do so many times in different languages, and I just suddenly thought, I can’t do it any more. I’m bored by it. So I’m stopping.
Apparently, Scott Thomas has had her fill of acting in the movie biz, both on big and small productions. Regarding her problems with shooting bigger-budget projects,...

“Torn from today’s headlines” usually signifies trash art, a cash-in, or worse, so it’s something of an inauspicious beginning when the novel Toxicology kicks off with the death of “Romeo Byron,” a Heath Ledger stand-in. Things get worse when another character is described as a hoarder, an affliction which apparently affects one in four fictional Americans from media written since 2009. But that disposable pop feeling ends up being the point of Toxicology, which gleefully wallows in its trashiness. The two main characters are neighbors: a filmmaker in her 30s, Mimi Smith, and a famous queer novelist in ...

I've found another personal favorite film of this fest. I was first introduced to British director Sam Taylor Wood in 2008 when I saw her short film Love You More at the Telluride Film Festival. I instantly fell in love with it and have been anxiously awaiting Nowhere Boy, which is her first feature film about the early days of John Lennon and Paul McCartney from The Beatles. I'm a big fan of The Beatles and was interested in learning more about their formation and early days, and while Nowhere Boy isn't as much about the band as it is Lennon's younger years, it's still an incredibly well-directed film that most Beatles fans will enjoy.

I think it.s safe to say that everyone knows The Beatles, but it.s probably far less likely that you know what John Lennon.s teenage years were like and even more unlikely you know who Mimi Smith. Lucky for you, Nowhere Boy focuses on just that. John grew up under the care of his aunt and uncle, Mimi and George Smith, not because his mother had passed but because she was simply absent from his life. When his uncle George passed away, it was John's mother, Julia, he ran to, not Mimi. Julia had a passion for music and a fun-loving spirit, but it was impossible for John to ignore the fact that she had abandoned him. On top of trying to rekindle that relationship, there.s also growing tension between John and Mimi, who.s concerned for his welfare and simply misses him. Had anyone but Kristin...
