As this big weekend kicks off, it seems entirely appropriate to be reviewing the last of this year’s Oscar nominees to be released in U.S. theaters. That would be the wondrous Swiss animated feature My Life As A Zucchini, which Gkids opens today in both its original French as well as English-language version. It seems like we have been talking about this charmer for months — and we have. As I say in my video review above, the film made its debut as Ma Vie un Courgette in…...

She already has an impressive resume with both film and fashion and now Gwyneth Paltrow has gone and scored another big campaign, this time with Hugo Boss.
The “Shakespeare in Love” actress is the face of Boss’ new fragrance for women called Ma Vie and she exudes plenty of girl power in the new commercial.
Ma Vie is described as “strong, feminine and independent,” which suits Gwyn perfectly given her confident sexiness and the fact that she split from husband Chris Martin earlier this year.
Per a Hugo Boss release, Ma Vie was inspired by the modern Cactus Flower. It is now available in finer retail outlets.

London, Mar 31: Bored and exiled in the pine forests of rural Bohemia, far from the cities and the women he had loved and left, the ageing Giacomo Casanova spent his final years writing his memoirs.
The Venice he grew up in no longer existed. The Paris he loved was riddled with revolution. Writing was, he said in the preface, "the only remedy I could think of to keep me from going mad or dying of grief".
The book, Histoire de Ma Vie (Story of My Life), published two decades after his death in 1798, would ensure that the man whose name was to become synonymous with womanising did not vanish into obscurity.
Until.

The Story of My Life is a charming and urbane French comedy about the love life of a celebrity ghostwriter. This presents director and co-writer Laurent Tirard with plenty of comic targets, which he hits with a light touch and a most accurate aim.
The comedy could inspire a following in sophisticated markets outside of France even though its stars mostly are known within only that country. Lead actor Edouard Baer is a star of French TV channel Canal Plus, while Clovis Cornillac won a Cesar for his portrayal of a soccer superstar in this 2004 release. The films plays in the current City of Lights/City of Angels festival in Los Angeles.
Raphael (Baer) is a well-oiled machine when it comes to banging out "autobiographies" for superficial French celebs. But when he approaches his word processor to write anything of substance for himself, he freezes with writer's block. Raphael falls into an easy-going, playful romance with architect Muriel (likable French-Canadian character actress Marie-Josee Croze), who continues to encourage him to take another stab at self-expression.
Tirard, who wrote the script with Gregoire Vigneron, delicately builds sequences so the comedy grows organically out of the character yet with increasing implausibility. Baer has a winning way of suggesting an artistic and sensitive soul that lurks underneath the cynic/loser surface Raphael presents to the world. The supporting actors are delightful in that they all play recognizable individuals beneath exaggerated, farcical facades.
