Saw V Promo Trailer
Below we have a promo trailer for Saw V which will be out in October. For those not fluent in Roman Numerals that’s ‘5′. This is the fifth movie in the franchise and the cow is milked so much it is starting to look like Nicole Ritchie.
Almost everyone brought in to try and solve the Jigsaw mystery has died or been injured. With John’s dead body in the hospital, Officer Rigg badly injured and still in the warehouse, Agent Perez recovering in the hospital, and Agent Straum nowhere to be found, that leaves one. On hearing the news that Jigsaw’s games will continue after his death, Detective Hoffman has disappeared, and a whole new game is about to start.
Update: Its fan made, but I’ll keep it up anyway.
Kirsten Dunst and Ryan Gosling’s “All Good Things”
Kirsten Dunst and Ryan Gosling’s “All Good Things”
Kirsten Dunst and Ryan Gosling were busy filming scenes for their new movie “All Good Things” on location in New York City on Wednesday (June 25).
During the day, Dunst was seen getting in and out of a yellow cab clad in a fitted burgundy skirt, black cardigan and black Mary Janes while Gosling strutted around in a fancy suit.
The thriller follows “a detective who begins to unravel a missing-persons case that looks to spell doom for the heir to a New York real estate dynasty.”
The Andrew Jarecki directed film, which hits theaters in 2009, also stars Frank Langella (Body of Evidence) and Jeffrey Dean Morgan (P.S. I Love You).
Pellicano Asks for a Do-Over
Now Anthony Pellicano is a stickler for protocol.
The disgraced private investigator, who after serving as his own lawyer was convicted last month on 76 of 77 counts of wiretapping, computer fraud, racketeering and other sins he commited for his powerful clients, has filed a motion requesting a new trial, alleging that jury misconduct tainted the proceedings the first time around.
First, a female juror approached an attorney working for one of Pellicano’s codefendants to voice “concern” about the verdicts. They then learned that at least four jurors had discussed the case without the rest of the panel present and one juror’s husband had dished to her about a possible witness after reading a blog tracking the trial, said Pellicano attorney Steven Gruel, who’s based in San Francisco and is doing selective posttrial work for the ex-detective.
“Many of [the blog’s] accounts were derogatory and incriminating to all defendants,” his motion added.
“The jury is supposed to make its decision in a vacuum,” Gruel told reporters Monday. “A new trial is the only way to remedy the uncertainties created by the misconduct.”
Sentencing is currently scheduled to take place Sept. 24. Federal prosecutors have not yet commented on Pellicano’s latest move.
Damages: Because I Know Patty (season finale)
“I’m accused of murder and my mom bakes cookies. Sounds about right.” - Ellen
Four or five episodes ago, you might have caught me saying that I was getting sick of Damages. It was getting slow and I was tired of all the questions. But with each week after that, things turned around and last night’s finale definitely made up for any shortcomings this phenomenal season had. If FX doesn’t renew this show, I’ll be more disappointed than when Showtime canned Huff. All the big questions got answered. The ones we were left with won’t drive you crazy. Plus, just as Tate Donovan promised us, we got one hell of a set-up for season two.
For the majority of the episode, we got rewarded with everything we’ve been expecting and hoping for. No bells and whistles. The story played out smoothly. Patty got Ellen off for David’s murder by cracking a deal with the D.A. and Ellen turned over the tape. We finally saw David and Ellen’s “hiding place”; there was a hidden compartment in the Statue of Liberty book-end. David’s killers had been holding what they wanted the entire time. Speaking of his killers, we got some illumination on that too. Wiry red-haired goon? He’s a detective, and his name is Rick. That’s one of the loose ends we got left with. It’ll be interesting to see how Ellen approaches the situation when she finds out that Frobisher had a cop in his pocket.
Art’s story wrapped up neatly too. Patty showed him the tape and he caved for her price. Art shelled over almost 93% of his net worth and Patty agreed to sign a non-disclosure agreement regarding all evidence. At the settlement party, all the other clients came down hard on Larry when they found out he was the leak. In his rage about being cut out, Larry found Frobisher, shot him, and left him for dead. Now, while we saw Art gasp for breath and flop around in the field as blood gushed from his gut, it was still a little ambiguous. I personally think he’s dead, but it did leave it open for him to come back.
Once all that stuff was out of the way, the rest of the show got fun. That grave Patty had been visiting? It was family. On May 24th, 1972, Patty had a still-born daughter that she named Julia. It had no connection to her crusade against Frobisher. As far as I could tell, it served one purpose for a mere few minutes in this episode: it built up the possibility for us that Patty had accepted Ellen as the daughter she never had. However, the second that really sunk in, it was shattered and we got hit with the big (although fairly predictable) shocker: Patty ordered the hit on Ellen. Not Frobisher.
It all makes sense now, doesn’t it? After Ellen admitted her regret and guilt, Patty saw her as a threat. Short, simple, logical. I like it. The irony is that had her goon succeeded, Patty would have never found out about the Gregory Malina tape.
So where does that leave us? Well, now we get to watch Ellen try and take down Patty while simultaneously trying to nail Frobisher’s goons for David’s murder. She’s teamed up with Hollis Nye and his FBI buddies (Hollis wasn’t bad after all) and agreed to feed them dirt. Patty isn’t stupid though, right? So a.) she must know that she’s being investigated and b.) the only reason she wants Ellen back at work is because she knows Ellen isn’t stupid either. She wants to keep an eye on her since her hitman failed.
More stuff on my mind…
- I’m terrified of Uncle Pete. When he called Patty and said “it’s done” after he let the goon into the apartment… that old dude is creepy.
- There was no pay-off with Patty’s son. Why was he back in the apartment that night? Does it even matter now?
- With Frobisher potentially dead, does the D.A. having the tape matter either? At this point, if the Frobisher case somehow plays any substantial role in the next season, it’ll just be annoying.
- What’s going to happen to Larry? He shot Art no problem. Did he go after anyone else?
- The FBI had a laundry list of things they were investigating Patty for. So… what exactly did she do? And how much does Tom actually know?
- Does Patty’s husband have any idea what his wife is actually like? I don’t think he does. Phil seems like a genuinely nice guy. I bet Ellen tries to flip him.
The thing I found most amusing about the episode was how, at certain moments, we were supposed to feel bad for Patty. Let’s not forget that the season started with her saying, “Yes. Kill the dog.” This woman is not nice and now that Ellen is on to her,;who knows what else is going to be dug up. With this chapter over, here’s to hoping that FX lets us read another.
