MTV cancels Alexa Chung talkshow

Alexa Chung Out And About In New York

MTV has cancelled It’s On With Alexa Chung.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the series will not return after its December 17 finale.

The show, which has been on air for two seasons, recently ran into problems in the UK. MTV initially planned to broadcast the show in September, but was forced to pull the plug following clearance issues.

A statement at the time read: “Due to unforeseen clearance issues, MTV UK will not now be airing It’s On With Alexa Chung.

“At this time, the show has only been cleared by the distributors for broadcast in the US and, at this stage, we cannot confirm whether the series will eventually air in the UK.”

“Broken Embraces”: My Review + A Contest!

broken_embraces1

I had the opportunity to see a screening of Pedro Almodovar’s new movie, Broken Embraces, on Monday.  I have been a huge fan of Pedro’s for a long time, and it just so happens that his muse Penelope Cruz is one of my favorite actresses. This is Penelope’s fourth movie with Pedro, following “Live Flesh”, “All About My Mother” and “Volver”.

This is a great movie, with equal parts suspense and romance. The story has so many twists and turns, it may be hard to keep up with – but if you can keep up with it, it’s definitely worth it!  The movie is well made, beautiful directed – and expertly written. If you’re a fan of Penelope Cruz, or Pedro Almodovar, then you MUST go see this movie when it opens in your city. You will not be disappointed!

A man writes, lives and loves in darkness. Fourteen years before, he was in a brutal car crash on the island of Lanzarote. In the accident, he not only lost his sight, he also lost Lena, the love of his life.

This man uses two names: Harry Caine, a playful pseudonym with which he signs his literary works, stories and scripts, and Mateo Blanco, his real name, with which he lives and signs the film he directs. After the accident, Mateo Blanco reduces himself to his pseudonym, Harry Caine. If he can’t direct films he can only survive with the idea that Mateo Blanco died on Lanzarote with his beloved Lena.

In the present day, Harry Caine lives thanks to the scripts he writes and to the help he gets from his faithful former production manager, Judit García, and from Diego, her son, his secretary, typist and guide.

Since he decided to live and tell stories, Harry is an active, attractive blind man who has developed all his other senses in order to enjoy life, on a basis of irony and self‐induced amnesia. He has erased from his biography any trace of his first identity, Mateo Blanco.

One night Diego has an accident and Harry takes care of him (his mother, Judit, is out of Madrid and they decide not to tell her anything so as not to alarm her). During the first nights of his convalescence, Diego asks him about the time  when he answered to the name of Mateo Blanco, after a moment of astonishment Harry can’t refuse and he tells Diego what happened fourteen years before with the idea of entertaining him, just as a father tells his little child a story so that he’ll fall asleep.

The story of Mateo, Lena, Judit and Ernesto Martel is a story of “amour fou”, dominated by fatality, jealously, the abuse of power, treachery and a guilt complex. A moving and terrible story, the most expressive image of which is the photo of two lovers embracing, torn into a thousand pieces.
