This post is three things in one. Which is either an awesome coincidence, or I have very cleverly masterminded getting three things I love into one post, which once you've sampled all this post has to offer, will leave you with that warm glow you feel deep down in your stomach, and probably need to go wobble around somewhere. It's a band, it's a DJ and it's a film. The band is ' The Temper Trap ', I first heard of them around the start of the year thanks to a film trailer. The film is [...]
500 Days of Summer stars Joseph Gordon Levitt as the likeable Tom, a Smiths devotee who writes greeting card slogans for a living and is on an eternal quest to meet 'The One'. He soon sets his sights on the Summer of the title, Zooey Deschanel, when she joins the greeting card company. The movie plays out like a left-of-centre mix of Memento, Say Anything and Stranger than Fiction, jumping back and forward through the 500 days that Tom has known Summer, and filling in the blanks that lead to their break-up (where the movie begins). The leads and supporting [...]
Earlier this month, one of my favorite thoughtful, eclectic music blogs returned. Everybody Cares, Everybody Understands is now tumbling on tumblr, and Chad recently posted a bittersweet bluegrass version of one of my favorite childhood classics. For some reason, as Ernie dangled his puppet feet off the edge of the crescent moon, my 6-year-old self felt, and now my 30-year-old self still feels, a pang in the part of us that is always searching for a home. This humble version by actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt ( [...]

Joe: The Rise of Cobra Okay let me get this out of the way right off the bat; G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra was not the kick in the groin I was expecting it to be. In fact, I was actually entertained in certain segments. [...]

Alati nunnud Joseph Gordon-Levitt ja Zooey Deschanel mängivad koos värskes romantilises filmis "(500) Days of Summer)", on head sõbrad ja on koos peaosades ka pisikeses lühifilmis/muusikavideos, kus pangaröövist saab tantsupidu ja taustaks mängib Zooey enda She&Him. Bank Dance Siit saab rohkem lugeda ja ka kulisside taha piiluda.

(500) Days Of Summer è negli USA il film dell'estate, probabilmente la consacrazione di Joseph Gordon-Levitt come indiscusso eroe dei tifoni ormonali di un'intera generazione di teenager. Accanto a lui, per non dimenticare i maschi latini, hanno piazzato Zooey Deschanel la quale, a quanto mi dicono, va piuttosto forte nella comunità geek americana e non. [...]
Above is an extra video-thingie for the film 500 Days of Summer . It's directed by Marc Webb, who also helmed the movie and features the two actors from the film, Zooey Deschanel and Joseph Gordon-Levitt. It's goofy and not the best choreography, but it's charming and something that young, awkward kids can relate to. This is exactly how I dance when I'm out at a club. There's no rhyme or reason to my moves and yes, I'll throw in a hopscotch or two. What's that? Oh yes, that's me doing the lawn mower. Anyway, [...]
As we previously posted here last month, the movie and it's talent filled summer movie <a href=" previously posted ">soundtrack "The 500 Days of Summer" with a limited release the past few weeks has already been making out at the box office and, no doubt, will be one of the most talk about movies this month as it is released nationwide tomorrow. Yesterday, they released an exclusive music video with Zoey and Joe (Zooey Deschanel and Joseph Gordon-Levitt) a separate short film and a music video about a bank heist in which the teller's heart is stolen along with [...]
(500) Days of Summer In a summer filled with big budget explosions, talking robots, generic romantic comedies, and talking animals you may be craving a break from the norm. Maybe you are longing for something that reminds you why you enjoy going to the cinema in the first place. Well if it refreshment is what you crave this summer, then Marc Webb's film, (500) Days of Summer , might just be for you. (500) Days of Summer is a boy meets [...]
A while back I posted the teaser trailer for the indie love-story 500 Days of Summer . The film is directed by Marc Webb and stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt as a greeting card writer who falls for a young woman (Zooey Deschanel) and ends up having to deal with the subsequent break-up. The teaser, despite the horrid voice-over narration, had me hooked from the very first viewing, while The Temper Trap song, "Sweet Disposition" worked very well with the trailer. A full-length trailer has been released, and it may seem [...]
First full-length trailer for Marc Webb's 500 Days of Summer , starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel. Due in theaters July 17.
Romantic comedies are one of the most difficult genre to pull off successfully. The cliches and beats of the movies are well-worn to the point that our enjoyment of these movies depends largely on the chemistry between the leads and the machinations leading towards that final happy ending. Take those familiar beats (quirky or high stress meeting, getting to know you phase, chaotic situation tears them apart, realization of love, pronouncement of that love in a public gesture) and twist them or reorder them or do something to make them not feel familiar. Because you know the [...]
Just caught the trailer for 500 Days of Summer , from director Marc Webb - though, according to IMDB, his credentials seem to only include less than a handful of music videos. Take that for what it's worth. I've been curious about this film for quite a while, primarily due to the two leads played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel. The tagline for this one is simple enough: boy meets girl, boy falls in love, but girl doesn't. I'm always such a sucker for this type of schtick, so of course this [...]
As the summer movie season winds down with only Pineapple Express and Tropic Thunder left up it's sleeve, I've decided to take this time to reflect on a film that came out this summer you most likely didn't see. I've decided the discussion of this film will be the first in what I hope will be a long line of posts about movies that are truly great, but that you probably hate!...... By the time Speed Racer hits the DVD shelves in September (16th [...]
