Ginnifer Goodwin Speaks Of "something Borrowed" - EXCLUSIVE


Part of the movie (mostly the male), Kenneth Branagh's "Thor" at the beginning of 2011, the summer blockbuster season. But on the other - and a substantial part, at that - he says "something borrowed" guardian will start in summer, as Hollywood finally starting to make movies, women and couples looking for day-evening option for muscle-bound, reckless If 'image. (No offense, "Fast Five." You really kind of fun.)

best-selling novel Custom Emily Giffin, the "Something Borrowed" establishes a complex love triangle between a sensitive Rachel (Ginnifer Goodwin), his self-centered best friend, Darcy (Kate Hudson) and his bride a beautiful Darcy, Dex (ColinEgglesfield). As the movie opens in theaters nationally, Goodwin was invited to speak to blow to establish businesses, get him to "dance" is, and its support for the Memphis Grizzlies.

HollywoodNews: What has happened once or twice in recent years, but rarely get to talk to a player on the day of his film actually opens. What are you doing today? How can you go?

Ginnifer Goodwin: The truth? I've been up since six in the evening, morning talk show I did four shows in a row. I have a day of phone interviews. Then I'll go shopping, head back to John F. Kennedy [airport], on board a plane back to Los Angeles

Have you ever visited the theater on opening day to see how one of your movies play in a band?

I do not. And believe me, I will receive reports from people in the studio. I will be following the progress of the film, for sure.

One of the things I liked the movie, her character, Rachel, kiss the man of her dreams, who also happens to be the forbidden fruit, before the opening credits are even finished.

That's what I really liked this topic, so good.

It will make you immersed in the teeth directly to the meat of the problem. Do you think that these decisions were you are free to pass a sort of starting point and start looking for humor and pain in different situations?

Yes, because our conflict is established in our scene. And because the film is based on a book of great success, I think most of our audience is made up of fans of the book. And you probably already know the plot. Rachel sleeps with Dex on the third page of the book. Not much in the way of establishing. You do not learn about these characters in the flashbacks, but otherwise is really about the conflict.

And I think I went wrong in the conflict. This is difficult for me to explain, but I was easier to swallow your character's relationship with Dex, although he was involved, so I do not understand his relationship with Kate Hudson's character, Darcy. It 'been a bit' masochistic suffering only minor irregularities Rachel leaves Darcy. Please let me establish a relationship in which the species will have to live under someone else's thumb.

It was truly a challenge for me as well, to prove that friendship. But there are many things unsaid in the film. We assume that the character of Kate, Darcy, always made fun of Rachel's life, and always took care of Rachel in many respects. Although the direction of self-esteem has been neglected by Rachel Darcy, Darcy has always been full of unconditional love for Rachel. And I think it's more about the direction of Rachel undeservingness tolerate the toxicity of this relationship.

For those of us who do not necessarily know the books, but can come out to support the hardcore movies, tell me where the story goes here? Without spoiling too much, we see two characters who have no real connection to Connect the end credits. E 'set up, we should pay attention to?

Ah, well, if enough people see the film, a sequel. And the history of the series is told through the eyes of Darcy. In this case, Rachel will be the antagonist. Outlook is quite moving.

Interesting. So there is no mention of thin sleeping in this photo is a hint, if your character can go in future films?

Not at all. In fact, it was very important to me that we will represent them separately. Everyone sees life in contrast with the following story, and it was important for me not to play with Rachel, for example, so that Darcy to see her.

Ah, that makes sense. OK, something lighter. Rachel did not get one in the field of dance. He gets two dance scenes. This was in order to show the world your talent? Why did you move serious.

[Laughs] Well, actually, I'm happy to hear that you appreciate these scenes. I should have been always my ass kicked by those scenes of Kate Hudson's character. But I must say that during the big dance off Hampton Bar, the choreographer came up to me and said, "It seems that you are trying to dance badly. You may feel a bit 'harder to be good." And I said, "Actually, I did my best." [Laughs] What was humiliating. He was embarrassed, and he just sort of slinked away. But we trained a lot of our dances weeks.

You arrive at its 33 th anniversary this month. Do you like Rachel, age 30 years, the reference when you must meet certain goals?

I did. And I made was able to collaborate in the writing of the scene ... much of what has been cut off, which broke my heart. But I had a bit of a meltdown on my birthday 30 years, because it is a moment of reflection and self-analysis. You start thinking about where you want to be. You can blame a lot of your errors in your 20s to your youth. I felt like the party was over, but I take my 30 years of my 20 years.

And the fact that you are proud native of Memphis, I must ask, if you're after the Memphis Grizzlies to fight the Oklahoma City Thunder of the NBA playoffs?

I did not look on TV, but asked me to be constantly updated because I'm a fan of anything out of Memphis!

Sony Ericsson Xperia Play: For Entertainment, As Artists


Compared to competitors like Motorola and LG Atrix Optimus 2X, the phone managed to leave an imprint in the minds of users, but some features will be improved and

When Sony Ericsson Xperia play on the market it has created much discussion. Xperia play is a combination of a basic gingerbread Android 2.4 Mobile Xperia and Sony's handheld game console "PlayStation".

Naturally, users are asked to wait a Playstattion and performance of this unit. Unfortunately, the Android game available for Sony Ericsson Xperia Play no exclusivity attached to them.

Sony Ericsson has managed to agree on a four-inch screen, which works well when users are playing at home. But the evidence does not give the desired outdoor gaming experience. Since the curved design, the phone is placed in the hands of good people. The smoothness of the sliding mechanism is also very good, sometimes inadvertently set too!

Users would be very happy to note that the SIM card and microSD can be used without removing the battery.

The device was created for entertainment and this is reflected in the product. Take the speakers, for example, are much better than other phones. available for games of RAM is 400 MB to 512 MB in total, which is good, but not enough for hard core gamers who always want more.

Qualcomm MSM8255 he clocked at 1GHz Snapdragon chip, which gives more power to users based on Motorola and LG 2X Atrix Optimus who need dual core systems on a chip.

Plastic used to construct the exterior of the device could have been better. When you go into the device, with the exception of the PlayStation game mark, other device is more than any other Android phones.

Android Xperia Play Pan 2.3.2 works. Games on this phone gives it a PlayStation console, and the graphics, but intense, do not work for users. Using the touch screen has to learn, be prepared for it. The problem is that most players are accustomed to Sony's analog sticks, so that the touchpad can feel a little hard for them to use.

Battery life is not very big, but when you consider the value of a day (and out) to play fairly, then the battery is working fine for you. The software appeared to use the Sony Ericsson Xperia are going to play against the battery, and is something that Sony Ericsson is easy to handle. Gaming, the phone works fine for users, but in endurance sports, battery life better than other test phones can end well.

DVD Deathwatch: Sales Were Down 20 Percent



DVDs are one step closer to extinction if the numbers of the recent Hollywood trade group in all measures. DVD sales in the U.S. fell 20 percent during the first three months of 2011 compared to the same period last year, according to a report on the Digital Entertainment Group. The group blamed the fall timing of Easter and the little blockbuster DVD release in early 2011 compared with the four major DVD debuts in early 2010.

Perhaps trying to belittle the importance of the DVD to drop, the group also said that while the decline in DVD sales, people still loved their records. sector organization, recently cited the NPD report, which said that 75 percent of Americans still prefer DVD and Blu-ray on the alternative methods of display.

It is not difficult to see why Hollywood studios would be afraid of losing their money from DVD cows. Even after falling 20 percent, DVD sales accounted for more than 2 billion dollars in revenue for the quarter. Buy digital and video on demand (not including streaming), in comparison, has introduced a little over $ 600 million. Subscription and streaming services, leasing accounted for about $ 700 million.

Overall, home entertainment, spending declined by about 10 percent in the first months of 2011 compared to the same period last year

While DVD sales have been plummeting, and leisure and entertainment options are gaining popularity. Subscription and streaming services like Netflix has increased by 33 percent during the same period last year, the digital download purchase (what business groups called "electronic sell-thru") increased 10 percent and video services at the request of cable providers have increased by 8 percent.

While sales are declining, the DVD is still holding the comparison with the line rental and streaming services such as iTunes, Amazon, Netflix and Hulu. DVD rental kiosks, for example, repackage, grew by 30 percent, and the Digital Entertainment Group says DVD sales in the second quarter of 2011 already 20 per cent compared to 2010. Blu-ray is also a great fun group expects Americans to spend more than $ 100 million Blu-ray 3D in 2011.

HDTVs Blu-ray larger than

Nearly 30 million American homes now have Blu-ray hardware sitting in their recreation centers, and entertainment group. But considering that there are over 116 million households in the country, 26 percent penetration of Blu-ray is not as impressive.

Especially if you compare the popularity of HDTV adoption of Blu-ray. In November, Nielsen said 56 percent of American households now have HDTV. So a high-definition viewing is great, but Blu-ray is not.

While most Americans do not see Blu-ray, this type of high-definition content they see? The choice of HD cable perhaps? Maybe the HD movie rentals online are more popular, thanks to Internet-connected TVs and set top boxes like Apple TV and Roku? Or perhaps most Americans have no idea how to get a true picture of HD on their TV. My money is on option number 3, how about you?
