The Cannes Film Fest Was More Like the Festival du Sean Penn

Where: Cannes, France
May 23, 2011 at 2:07 PM | by | Comments (0)

It looks like this year's Cannes Film Festival turned out to be Festival de Sean Penn. Not only did Penn have two winning films in the fest, he was also honored at the first Cinema For Peace inaugural dinner for his charity work in Haiti.

On Saturday, This Must Be The Place, in which Sean plays an aging rock star, won the festival's prestigious Ecumenical Jury Prize. And on Sunday, the Cannes Film Festival awarded its highest prize, the Palme d'Or, to The Tree of Life, a film by Terrence Malick which also stars Penn, along with Brad Pitt. Though the movie won top honors at the fest, there's some questions about how regular Joes (a.k.a. the rest of us) will embrace the movie, especially since it features dinosaurs, little dialog, and Sean Penn as Brad Pitt's adult son.

Where to Watch Films Alfresco in London This Summer

May 19, 2011 at 3:33 PM | by | Comments (0)

Londoners are notoriously weather obsessed, wont to conjecture if the clouds will break to reveal a sliver of sunshine, the tiniest hint of pleasant warmth in contrast to its typical cold. It's a fallacy that the city is always bathed in grey, however. We recently had a long-time resident tell us, "summer in London makes all those months of chilly hell totally worth it." That said, if you happen to visit from May through September, we highly suggest seizing the opportunity to do anything alfresco.

Outdoor film screenings are an ideal way to enjoy the temperature rise, which can range from ever-so-slight to overwhelmingly muggy. After the jump, we've rounded up some of the best ways to catch a flick with the sunset as the backdrop.

L'Affable: Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's Hard-Partying Cannes Restaurant

Where: 5 Rue de Fontaine, Cannes, France
May 17, 2011 at 2:47 PM | by | Comments (0)

We knew Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were going to have a good night in Cannes, but we didn't think it would be this good! After premiering Brad's new movie, the highly anticipated Tree of Life, at the Palais des Festivals, the couple joined a few of their celeb friends, including Naomi Campbell, at the L'Affable restaurant to celebrate.

L'Affable is a pretty affordable place when it's not Film Festival season. A prix fixe dinner menu runs 39 Euros, whereas lunch of a few courses is only 25 Euros.

Though Brad and Ange looked flawless when they arrived at the place, by the time they emerged a few hours later, he had an ear-to-ear grin and she looked completely disheveled, with messy hair, smeared make-up and glassy eyes. We're not sure what happened inside the party, but based on the looks of Brangelina, we're guessing a lot of alcohol was involved!

May 16, 2011 at 3:02 PM | by | Comments (0)

The Cannes Film Festival is in full swing with the premieres of several new movies over the weekend, including Woody Allen’s Midnight in Paris, but it's the parties that have people buzzing.

The weekend's biggest bash was thrown by financing group Red Granite and featured fireworks and performances by Kanye West with Jamie Foxx and Pharrell Williams on Carlton Beach. Leonardo DiCaprio and Bradley Cooper were among the A-Listers there to dine on gourmet pasta, sushi, and canapés while sucking down free top shelf liquor.

But tonight, things will really get interesting as the fest's most anticipated film, The Tree of Life, premieres at Palais K followed by an afterparty with the film's stars, Brad Pitt, Sean Penn and their significant others, Angelina Jolie and Scarlett Johansson.
