Cinematical Seven: The Coolest Jewesses On Film
Filed under: Fandom », Quentin Tarantino », Cinematical Seven »
Hanukkah is upon us, but before I go steal gelt from small children and bet money on the dreidels before passing out into a latke-induced coma, I've cooked up a small slice of Jewy goodness for you to enjoy and/or argue about. Although it's apparently cool to be Jewish these days, some of these ladies made it work even when it wasn't, bringing their savvy and sexy ways to the screen one way or another. While some particular laddy mags point out that Jewesses are so hot now because of more "exotic"-looking ladies like Mélanie Laurent (she's blonde!), I think they're just behind the times. But no matter how hard or easy the road to fame was for them, all of these ladies make me wanna bust out a giant gold Chai necklace and drink some Manischewitz in their honor. There are plenty I had to leave out for the sake of time and space, so add your faves in the comments.
Cinematical Seven: Most Fashionable Men on Film
Filed under: Fandom », Cinematical Seven », Lists »
Tom Ford's directorial debut, A Single Man, is opening in limited release this weekend, and even though the movie is strictly speaking the story of a man grappling with the sudden death of his young lover, there's no mistaking that a fashion icon is behind the camera. While period pieces usually get the most fashion love and attention, like Marie Antoinette's dizzy hair styles and gowns, there are plenty of other places to find your haute eye candy. In honor of Ford's dazzling new film, which stars Colin Firth, Julianne Moore, Nicholas Hoult, and Matthew Goode, here are my favorite men dressed to kill.
1. Colin Firth as George in A Single Man
The inspiration for the list, this buttoned-up English professor in the 1962 is veddy proper down to his cuff links, even as the gals start to get loose with Twiggy's straight hair, impressive eye makeup, and ever-present cigarettes. George's stubborn elegance, from his careful Windsor-knotted ties to his sharply shined shoes, offers him a daily ritual in the face of his heartbreaking grief, a lecture hall of uncaring students, and the turbulence of the times.
Cinematical Seven: Best Ensemble Casts of 2008
Filed under: Cinematical Seven », Lists »
2008 was a year of incredible casts -- just about every film released this year can elicit a "Holy crap, do you know who all is in that? It has to be good!" This was a year that saw Oscar-winning actresses in popcorn flicks like Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull and Speed Racer, Edward Norton go green and hulking, and Tom Cruise nominated for a prosthetics-heavy cameo. That many of the films didn't live up to the cast's potential (The Women, Deception and Righteous Kill, to name three random examples) is disappointing, expected, and ultimately something to wonder "With a cast like that, how did they blow it?" in years to come.
However, many of the movies did get it right -- and it is really hard to narrow it down to seven. I tried to avoid the obvious picks such as The Dark Knight, decided the vocal talent of Kung Fu Panda didn't count, and tried to throw in some unexpected and overlooked casts. Hey, I have to leave you something to disagree with, right?
1. Tropic Thunder

Hands down, this is the best ensemble of the year. Not only is practically everyone in Hollywood in it (and whoever isn't, they're mocking), but they all managed to be funny. There's a million ways this cast could have gone wrong, but they managed to get it right. That's pretty rare for any ensemble, let alone a comedic one.
