The Boat That Rocked 22 MBA first trailer has turned up (I believe ripped from the Mamma Mia DVD) for the upcoming movie written and directed by Richard Curtis (Love Actually and writer of Notting Hill and Four Weddings and a Funeral). It's an ensemble comedy in which the romance takes place between the young people of the '60s and pop music. It's about a band of rogue DJs (Philip Seymour Hoffman, Bill Nighy, Nick Frost, Rhys Ifans) on a boat that captivated Britain, playing the music that defined a generation and standing up to a government that, incomprehensibly, preferred jazz. Also part of the cast are Kenneth Branagh, Emma Thompson, Jack Davenport and Gemma Arterton.
What a cast! And Nighy still has the moves.

Little Ashes HD480p 66MB HD720p 134MBDrama that takes place in the midst of the repression and political unrest of pre-Spanish Civil War, eccentric artist Salvador Dalí (Robert Pattinson) and renowned poet and revolutionary Federico García Lorca (Javier Beltran) find their artistic and sexual freedom. The two form a bond challenged by their fierce ambitions, their friends, the struggle between a love for Spain and a love for each other. And there's also Luis Buñuel (Matthew McNulty).
I suspect this movie would get a lot less interest without Robert Pattinson and his hair.
