The day I finally overdose on cocaine (or Pixy Stix), I hope the last post I put up on this site is the most interesting, funniest, inspiring, sexiest, informative piece ever. I would hate to be eternally linked to a post about Lucy Lawless’ freakishly big areolas.
That said …
Anchor Bay Entertainment has set an Aug. 24 release date for the DVD and Blu-ray editions of director Michael Feifer’s low-budget thriller Abandoned. The film marks the final performance of late actress Brittany Murphy, who met her unfortunate drug-induced doom last Christmas at the age of 32.
Abandoned stars Murphy as a woman frantically trying to find her boyfriend after he disappears from a hospital during a routine procedure. The film costars Dean Cain (”Lois & Clark”), Kristen Kerr (Flight of the Living Dead: Outbreak on a Plane), and busty straight-to-DVD queen Mimi Rogers (Penny Dreadful).
No word from rental service Redbox on whether they will carry Abandoned at their crime-riddled kiosks locations, but chances are they will considering the box art isn’t quite as disturbing as Murphy’s second-to-last final movie Deadline.
Best know for her role as Lt. Blair Williams in 2009’s Terminator: Salvation, actress/model Moon Bloodgood has never fared too well on TV. The 34-year-old star of NBC’s time-traveling drama “Journeyman” and ABC’s time-altering thriller “Day Break” saw both series rapidly canceled (the latter after airing only six episodes) in ’06 and ’07 respectively.
Regardless, Bloodgood is making her return to television this year as child therapist Anne Glass in the Steven Spielberg produced TNT alien-invasion series “Falling Skies.” The show costars “ER’s” Noah Wyle, Jessy Schram, Drew Roy, The Fourth Kind’s Will Patton and The Last Airbender’s Seychelle Gabriel.
The official synopsis reads:
In FALLING SKIES, Wyle stars as a former college professor who becomes the leader of a group of soldiers and civilians struggling against an occupying alien force. Bloodgood co-stars as Anne Glass, a therapist who works with the surviving children to help them cope with the traumatic situation.
The series also Seychelle Gabriel as Lourdes, an orphaned teenager who helps run the group’s commissary. Will Patton plays a fierce leader of the resistance.
FALLING SKIES is executive-produced by Steven Speilberg along with DreamWorks Television heads Justin Falvey and Darryl Frank and screenwriter Robert Rodat.
Rodat, who earned an Oscar® nomination for his screenplay for Saving Private Ryan, wrote the pilot from an idea he co-conceived with Spielberg. Verheiden and Greg Beeman (Heroes, Smallville) are co-executive producers.
The pilot was directed by Carl Franklin (One False Move, Out of Time).
Bloodgood and Wyle will be part of a “Falling Skies” Q&A panel at Comic-Con on July 23.
TNT released a number of promotional stills from the show. Here you have some of the more interesting shots:
Korean actress Bae Doona plays an inflatable-sex-doll-come-to-life in Japanese director Hirokazu Koreeda’s Air Doll, a big screen adaptation of Yoshiie Goda’s manga series “Kuuki Ningyo.”
Set in Tokyo, the story revolves around Nozomi (Doona) the sex doll, her lonely owner Hideo (Itsuji Itao), and Junichi (Arata), the man she falls in love with at the video store where she has taken a job.
Take a peek:
The film features many outrageous moments including a squeaky sex scene between Hideo and Nozomi (with post vaginal clean-up) and probably the best human-on-inflatable-partner blowjob this side of Airplane!
Check it out:
And, suddenly, I’m thinking I may have written off Air Bud a little too hastily.
Doona is best known for her roles in internationally acclaimed Korean director Park Chan-wook’s revenge-thriller Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance and Bong Joon-ho’s creature-feature The Host, the highest grossing film to date in South Korea’s history.
The 30-year-old starlet has already picked up a Best Actress Award at this year’s Takasaki Film Festival in Japan for her portrayal of Nozomi the Air Doll.
Air Doll opens in the States this weekend in selected cities (check your theater listings like right now!)
