You know,
the reviews for Disney's
Beverly Hills Chihuahua were not as bad as I thought they might be, so that coupled with the fact that it's a family film meant that the movie about little talking dogs took the No. 1 spot at the box office over the weekend. The top dogs brought in a seriously impressive $29 million.

I saw
Blindness by myself, with nothing to occupy me on the way home but a copy of Cormac McCarthy's
The Road. Bad idea. This movie requires a funny friend or mindless magazine afterward to decompress.

Natalie Portman clocked in for her first day of judiciary duty yesterday at the
Cannes Film Festival, where she's
one of nine judges. At the opening press conference her fellow judge Sean Penn
spoke about the US Presidential Race, revealing he's not backing a particular candidate, but Natalie wouldn't be drawn on who she'd be voting for – unlike in
our interview where
she voiced her support for Hillary Clinton.
But back to the festival – the opening premiere was for Blindness, starring Julianne Moore and Gael Garcia Bernal, and the stars walked the red carpet alongside guests Cate Blanchett, Eva Longoria, Mischa Barton, Faye Dunaway and Dennis Hopper.
Teaser Trailer for Blindness With Julianne Moore, Mark Ruffalo Don't be fooled by the chipper, easy-breezy morning routine at the beginning of this teaser trailer for Blindness — it gets scary. Really scary. Based on the novel by Portuguese Nobel prize winner Jose Saramago, Blindness is an apocalyptic thriller in which an entire town — save one doctor's wife — succumbs to a blindness epidemic.

I always love an excuse to write about
Daniel Craig — it means looking for photos of him, after all — but this news is particularly cool. According to the Hollywood Reporter,
the James Bond actor is in talks to star in Blindness, a movie based on the Jose Saramago
novel of the same name.
Julianne Moore is also being considered, which is interesting, since the premise reminds me a bit of
Children of Men.
