So this is Julia Roberts sister…

How would you like being the sister of one of America’s most beautiful women?

Julia Roberts showed up at the Tribeca Film Festival premiere of ‘Jesus Henry Christ’ with her sister Lisa. Julia teamed up with her sister Lisa Roberts Gillan to co-produce the film.

This colorful, modern family comedy revolves around 10-year-old boy genius Henry James Herman (Jason Spevack) and his fervently left-wing single mother Patricia (Toni Collette), who works at the local university’s cafeteria. A misfit from birth, Henry’s precocious, rabble-rousing ways catch up with him when he gets kicked out of school for writing “Manifestos on the Nature of Truth.” Meanwhile, 12-year-old Audrey (Samantha Weinstein) has her own problems because of her single father, university professor Dr. Slavkin O’Hara (Michael Sheen), who used her as the test subject for his best-selling book Born Gay or Made that Way? Needless to say, she gets a not-so-nice nickname from her classmates. When Henry scores a scholarship to the university as a child prodigy, the two families cross paths and everything they knew about their lives is thrown to the wind.

Writer/director Dennis Lee gives all characters their fair share of snappy dialogue and off-the-wall moments of hilarity, spiking the film with playful charm and visual flair. Collette and Sheen effortlessly flex their comedic muscles with bright newcomers Spevack and Weinstein in this whimsical tale.

I love both Toni Collette and Michael Sheen! Can’t wait to see it!

TRAILER TIME! Julia Roberts and Tom Hanks in ‘Larry Crowne’

Oscar® winners Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts reunite for a dramatic comedy about how the hard knocks from today’s recession inspire one everyday guy to undergo a personal reinvention: Larry Crowne.

Until he was downsized, affable, amiable Larry Crowne (Hanks) was a superstar team leader at the big-box company where he’s worked since his time in the Navy. Underwater on his mortgage and unclear on what to do with his suddenly free days, Larry heads to his local college to start over. There he becomes part of a colorful community of outcasts, also-rans and the overlooked all trying to find a better future for themselves…often moving around town in a herd of scooters. In his public-speaking class, Larry develops an unexpected crush on his teacher Mercedes Tainot (Roberts), who has lost as much passion for teaching as she has for her husband.

The simple guy who has every reason to think his life has stalled will come to learn an unexpected lesson: when you think everything worth having has passed you by, you just might discover your reason to live.

Call me crazy – but doesn’t Tom Hanks seem very Forrest Gump in this trailer?

Julia Roberts makes $1.5 million in 46 seconds…without saying a word!

Italian coffeemakers Lavazza paid Julia Roberts $1.5 million to literally stand still and smile. She says not one word in the short commercial (this performance resembles her performance in ‘Valentine’s Day’!). She stand in a giant sea shell, like some Italian goddess, and takes a sip of coffee, then breaks out her famous smile – and that’s it!

Julia Roberts’ open letter to Natalie Portman

In an article called “Actors on Actors” Julia Roberts opens up about her friend Natalie Portman, and seeing her in December’s ‘Black Swan’. (Makes me want to see the movie even more!)

“It is an interesting endeavor, watching a friend in a film. It is a risk to agree to write an article about a friend in a film. With someone like my subject today, Natalie Portman, it seemed worth the risk. She is always lovely, always watchable, always interesting. Then there is ‘Black Swan.’ If only I could reach out from the page now and offer you a glass of terribly good wine and ask you to sit a while.

Natalie Portman in the new film by Darren Aronofsky is a ballerina. I cannot think of anything more accurate and complimentary to say about her in this role: She is a ballerina! One is so lost in the aching beauty, the elegant moves and the quiet mania of her pursuits, she, Natalie, ceases to exist.

It is an intense and at times brutal film to watch. There were times when I was watching through tiny cracks in my quaking fingers. But to see her in this role was worth the one night of tossing and turning.

I, as many, first fell deeply in love with Natalie in Luc Besson’s film ‘The Professional.’ A performance like the one she delivers in ‘Black Swan’ affirms that my professional admiration for her was well placed. Now as the years have kindly made her a li’l friend (that’s a joke for Natalie), I am simply beaming with pride for her and want only to have her over to our home to hug her, tell her all the wondrous things we think of her, rub her weary feet and make her the biggest, most delicious dinner she could ever eat!”
