"Sherlock Holmes: A Game Of Shadows" London premiere

I watched the premiere of "Sherlock Holmes: A Game Of Shadows" online yesterday and I enjoyed it! It was small and cozy; all actors and Guy Ritchie came, smiled and were interviewed by Edith Bowman.

Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law seem to become good friends. Robert was in a great mood, he danced a little (to entertain us or to get warmer). But I have one question for Jude Law. I'm just curious is there any tradition which makes actors stop shaving after they made a big film? Every time some actor finished filming, he starts appearing with a huge beard. Weird.

The weather was cold, men were wearing suits, scarves and coats, but Noomi Rapace, who played the main female part in this film, was in a strapless gown. I hope she didn't become an ice sculpture. She talked about how she was preparing for her Gypsy role, planning even to live in a camp, but she hadn't enough time for this. Noomi Rapace enjoyed working with such talented men and now she considers herself as "one of the boys."

Jared Harris doesn't look like a villain at all and seems to be a very cheerful person. But I hope his Professor Moriarty is persuasive.

Stephen Fry called Guy Ritchie "an extraordinary filmmaker." He portrayed Mycroft Holmes, Sherlock's brother. Can't wait to see what his role in this story is.

VENICE FILM FESTIVAL 2011 - Days 9-10

The closing ceremony is coming, but still we have a couple of movies to talk about. "KILLER JOE" was presented on September 8. It is directed by William Friedkin. Emile Hirsch plays a drug dealer Chris, who hires a hint man Joe to kill his mother and to get an insurance, which will free him from debts. But he is not the only one after this money and when Chris has been tricked, bloody Joe doesn't care who is going to die - he just wants to get his payment. Matthew McConaughey, who played that crazy killer with detective skills, hasn't come to the Venice, but there were spotted William Friedkin and Emile Hirsch, who both have a great sense of humor.

"TEXAS KILLING FIELDS" was one of the last movies presented in competition at this year's festival. This story is inspired by true events. Three detectives are solving a mystery about disappeared kids. The director is Ami Canaan Mann. Starring Sam Worthington, Jessica Chastain, Chloe Grace Moretz and Jeffrey Dean Morgan.

VENICE FILM FESTIVAL 2011 - Day 8

Wednesday, September 7

After big premieres it's getting more and more complicated to find interesting movies, because there is less information about upcoming Italian, French, German etc. movies, which are being presented at the 68th Venice Film festival these days. Yesterday the attention got Italian drama "Quando La Notte" ("When the Night") by Cristina Comencini. It's is based on the her own novel of the same name. The movie was presented in competition, of course, there were a photocall and a press conference, later in the evening its actors along with the director were on the red carpet, before its premiere. "Quando La Notte" is about a man and a woman, who meet in the mountains. The man saves her child and they're becoming closer by discovering each other big secrets.

One of my favorite villain actors, Willem Dafoe, came to Venice with his latest movie "4:44 Last Day On Earth", which is also in competition. It's directed by Abel Ferrara and tells a story about two lovers, who know that they don't have much time, because the world will come to an end the next day.

VENICE FILM FESTIVAL 2011 - Day 7

Tuesday, September 6

Another British drama was presented at the Venice Film Festival. Andrea Arnold directed a new adaptation of Emily Brontë's "Wuthering Heights", a classic story about the power of love and passion. Firstly it supposed to be a bigger project with Natalie Portman and Michael Fassbender, but then it became independent of the famous stars. The main parts are played by young actors James Howson and Kaya Scodelario. For James it is a debut, but Kaya is known thanks to the TV show "Skins" and a role of Peshet in "Clash of the Titans". The most important thing is it's not just regular costume drama. Critics are saying Andrea Arnold reconsidered this classic story, tried to make it not ordinary. She breaks all canons. Also it's promised to be visually stunning, because the movie was made in North Yorkshire.

The last adaptation of the novel "Wuthering Heights" was directed by Coky Giedroyc in 2009 and starred Tom Hardy and Charlotte Riley.

VENICE FILM FESTIVAL 2011 - Day 6

Monday, September 5

The main event of this day was certainly a premiere of the criminal drama by Tomas Alfredson, "Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy". Gary Oldman, Colin Firth, Benedict Cumberbatch, John Hurt, Mark Strong and Tomas Alfredson came to the festival to support their latest movie. From the very beginning, when I discovered about it, I was sure this movie will be great. All these talented actors just couldn't make it bad. But I have no idea that critics will love it! I guess that's what people call a real success.

Release dates - September 16, 2011 (UK), November 10, 2011 (Germany), November 18, 2011 (USA), November 24, 2011 (Russia), December 15, 2011 (Ukraine).

"A classy, very British affair." (Clothes on Film)
"Oldman gives a deliciously delicate, shaded performance, flitting in and out of the wings like some darting grey lizard." (Guardian)
