Maggie Grace Pictures: Celebrating LOST's Past and Future

Maggie Grace PicturesMaggie Grace PicturesMaggie Grace PicturesMaggie Grace PicturesMaggie Grace PicturesMaggie Grace Pictures


*WARNING: MILD SPOILERS*

ABC's LOST Series 4 premiered last night with a large crash - literally! Starting off with a high speed Los Angeles car chase, it was immediately clear that two things were going on: LOST was back and Season 4 was gonna change things.

The premiere was intense, lots of cool moments particularly involving Hurley and Jack. If you missed it or have always wanted to get into Lost, now is the time. We reached the top of the hill last year and with 3 shorter seasons left with 16 episodes each, we're on a fast track to the end.

No more dragging out the plot lines, it's time for the answers.

To celebrate Lost's past and future I decided to post these hot pics of Maggie Grace who was Shannon on Lost for season's 1 and 2.

Celebrity Skinned's Top 5 Films of 2007


Both Marti and myself have choosen our Top 5 films of 2007 and since there's really no reason to build up to these lists here they are:

Marti's List:

1. The Bourne Ultimatum:
THE Intelligent action movie of the decade. We know this is the last Bourne outing, but let's hope we can see more action movies like this for the next decade.

2. American Gangster:
THE intelligent gangster movie, a towering performance by Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe.

3. I Am Legend:
Thank God that the film is faithful to the end of the now endless productions of Richard Matheson's classic.

4. Sunshine:
Trainspotting and 28 Days Later director Boyle's moody Sci Fi wasn't a huge hit, but this is space opera at its best.

5. The Simpsons Movie:
Finally!!

The Captain's List: not really in order

1. Into the Wild:
This movie still haunts me. I'm not sure why but I really connected to this film and I loved Penn's execution of it. Chris wrote 'Happiness only real when shared', a lesson learned at such a cost.

2. Zodiac - The Director's Cut:
Another haunting film based on real events. Fincher captures the brutality, the obsession, the bewilderment that surrounded the Zodiac Killer and his victims. 1970's San Francisco comes to life around the downward spiral that is the life of those involved in finding the killer's true identity.

3. 300:
Gratuitous, over-stylized and just 300 tons of awesome. This movie entertains on a level that many just fail to reach. Lack of character development? Lack of plot? Who gives a shit... this is what movie theaters and HD TV's were made for.

4. Hot Fuzz:
A worthy and completely satisfying follow up to Shaun of the Dead. Simon Pegg and crew are just hilarious.

5. There Will Be Blood:
The title is not lying. There was literal blood, there was metaphorical blood, the black blood of the earth and there was Daniel Day Lewis. He deserves his best actor nod and Golden Globe win hands down.

Gillian Anderson Pictures from the Set of X-Files 2

X-Files 2: Mulder and ScullyX-Files 2: Mulder and ScullyX-Files 2: Mulder and Scully


Well now I really believe it. They are actually making a sequel to the X-Files film. It had been rumored and hinted at for SO long I just stopped having any faith and refused to believe the new rumors until pics from the set surfaced and here they are. Gillian Anderson looks great, David Duchovny looks typically unemotional and I really can't wait to the film.

Anyone wanna start guessing what the title's going to be?

Looks like Xzibit and Amanda Peet are on broad for this installment and I'm hearing that *SPOILERS*werewolves are involved*END SPOILERS*.

Rhona Mitra Starring in Niel Marshal's Apocalypse

Rhona Mitra Pictures by Cliff WattsMitra Pictures by Cliff WattsMitra Pictures by Cliff WattsMitra Pictures by Cliff Watts


Boston Legal's beautiful Rhona Mitra is starring in Neil Marshall's new upcoming film Doomsday. Neil Marshall brought us Dog Soldiers(which I haven't seen) and the ultra claustrophobic and creepy cave dwelling thriller The Descent. Based on that alone, I'm interested in checking this movie out. Add in Rhona and I'm even more excited. It's looking a lot like a female Mad Max which I have no problems with and Rhona looks hot in the trailer.

R.I.P. Heath Ledger: Not sure who he is?


Heath Ledger (1979-2008) (imdb: http://imdb.com/name/nm0005132/)

I'm finding a lot of people really weren't that aware of who Heath Ledger was or that what looks like his best performance ever (in The Dark Knight as the Joker) was about to be unleashed upon the world. Most of my friends (movie buffs as well) replied 'Who?'

So I wasn't gonna post anything about him- I mean, he's not a sexy female and it just felt out of character for Celebrity Skinned to start doing R.I.P. posts. However, when I realized that people just didn't know who he was and maybe it's because he was so close to my own age - I felt I needed to post something.

I've put together a small collection of YouTube videos that show some of his work, including the incredible Dark Knight trailer. So if you were scratching your heads at this name floating around all over the news or happened to just miss all of his work, here's a bit to check out.

Here's to a great talent, lost forever.

Charlie Wilson's War: Movie Review

Charlie Wilson's War PosterCharlie Wilson's War
Reviewed by Marti
CS Rating: Hoffman saves the day
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0472062/

I love Aaron Sorkin, screenwriter of Charlie Wilson's War. He's what you think of when you think 'writer', the way a writer should be. He has all the qualifications: He's lived hand to mouth in crappy jobs when he was young, he's had past drug problems, has chain smoked; and he looks like a geek.

I was an avid fan of Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip and it was a crime it was cancelled by NBC. At least Sorkin had had his long day in the sun with the Oscar nominated A Few Good Men and the Emmy worthy West Wing because not even Julia Roberts in a bikini or naked girls doing coke in a hot tub can save this film. Which is a real shame, I wanted to love this.

It's Golden Globes blow out didn't surprise me. The film is certainly informative and parts are entertaining, especially in Charlie's office, it's like Charlie's Angel's meets the West Wing. But does it work as a movie? Not in the traditional sense.

I walked out of the movie house and I still have no idea of who Charlie Wilson is. Only Hoffman's character (Gust Avrakotos) comes across as a real, 3 dimensional character.

Is Sorkin's writing to blame or is it the no show acting of Hanks and Roberts? I watch this movie and it’s like a war is going on between Hanks and Roberts dealing with their lines.
Charlie Wilson's WarBut it dawns on me, Sorkin's script and Mike Nichols' Direction meant all this - that unremarkable people can do remarkable things, that politics is all show business and the best things in show business are the shallow and fun loving.

The women of Charlie Wilson's War are fun and captivating, from the radiant Julia Roberts, the young and blood boiling Emily Blunt, to his sexy all girl admin staff led by the sweet Amy Adams.

Critics have pointed to the appeal of this film as 'grown up', but I think they miss the point. Grown up subject matter doesn't equate grown up film.
