I always felt that thief next to Jesus got off lightly.

Wow, that’s some way to get someone thinking.

At least it worked for Michael Fassbender in one of his earlier movies called “Hunger”. This one - particularly known for the part where the camera’s view doesn’t movie for 17 full minutes - is a real diamond. I’ve just rewatched it and as always it was raw, tender and heartbreaking. Not to mention extremely realistic (/Irish).

An odyssey, in which the smallest gestures become epic and when the body is the last resource for protest.

That’s what the tagline promises, and as my own promise to you all; you will get it. It almost seems a shame to review this here because I think with movies like these, reviews will take away your blanc point of view on the whole, which makes it difficult to form your own experience.

This movie tells the story about the last six weeks of Bobby Sands, an Irish republican. He was captured, thrown in jail and started to starve himself to death. Liam Cunningham is casted as a spiritual father - called upon to stop the young man from his path of selfdestruction but Bobby has a goal. A goal he will reach.

I’m not going to tell you any more than the fact you should watch it. I even have a hard time staying professional about this one as it drove me to tears. More even, when I learned how much Michael (Fassbender) actually did for this role.

“I lost about 14 kilos and weighed 59 kilos by the end. It was the only way we could do it and make it convincing.”

It was convincing, Michael. Don’t worry. This pearl from the hands of Steve McQueen with an ultimate and overwhelming Irish cast was killing me due to it’s deafening silence untill the very end.

James Gone Bad? Approved.

Seems like old good Charles is in for a change with his appearance in Trance! Latest rumours tell James Mcavoy been casted for one of the leading roles in Danny Boyle’s new project, now Michael (Fassbender) dropped out due to scheduling problems.

As Brittish as possible, that’s how most people describe him. Even though he did a great job in hiding his accent while shooting X-Men: First Class, our dear professor had some trouble controlling it while shouting (GET OUT OF THE WATER, ERIK!). Not that we mind - but to be honest I had some difficulties picturing this.. fairly decent man into the role of the gang leader he’s about to play!

At the moment, the official IMDB-page only gives James and Vincent Cassel to be casted properly. I have seen all kind of actors passing the list these past few days, so beware of change - but McAvoy’s role seems quite set!

So what do you all think? Did his performance in Wanted show us the beginning of this gang leader, or is this an all new role for him? Both ways, I think I trust his talent enough to tell he’ll do fine - if not outstanding.

For more Trance-updates, please keep track of me!

Gossip much? Zoë and Michael.

Cele|bitchy has just notified us all that it appears to be over between Zoë Kavitz and Michael Fassbender. Now I don’t want to turn into the bitch like her name but to me it seems this source is as reliable as… not?

That was just to get your attention - Come on guys! You know by now that’s not the news I’m interested in! What I am interested in is the following picture, starring Michael i his new project Shame. Cele|bitchy quote: He plays a sex addict in this movie, time for some O-shaped faces.

To be honest, I can’t wait for this movie! Not only because (this picture is stunningly hot) the cast is promising (Carey Mulligan, James Badge Dale and Michael Fassbender, for a start) but also because the story seems.. well, something entirely different! As it was co-written by McQueen and Abi Morgan, this is promising! Let the classy arthouse rule the red carpet, if you ask me!

The official article from IneedMyfix is to be found here. I recommend you to read it, it’s pretty interesting and promising. As soon as this comes out, me myself will obviously give my clear opinion about it (how I love giving my honest opinion).

Anyway - it’s something different than Jane Eyre!

It’s not that hard to sing a song together…

… or at least, that is what Michael Fassbender showed us in the following youtube movie, shot at a Popcorn-interview.

I agree on the fact James (McAvoy) doesn’t look like he actually has an idea about what he’s supposed to do, but the enthousiasm is there and well - that’s worth something.

The two X-Men: First Class stars have appeared in quite a number of interviews already, including Face to face (to be posted later) and some individual monologues. I was very excited for a moment to find they appeared to star in Trance together, but I had to let my head hang when it appeared Michael dropped out due to scheduling problems (I would have rescheduled, for the sake of James). Those two had an awfull good thing going on in the movie, which made me quite compassionate of both sides.

And the parting, oh this tragedy. But I will not spoiler - I just want to tell you: those two are awfully talented (even though the title Brokeback Mutants skipped through my mind more than once).

I use this silly little movie as a brand new start and beacon (not Kevin Bacon - I will focuss on him later) that I’m very much alive and kicking. Serra Lapis is back in town and is going to make it, wheter you want it or not.

I’d like to inform you all that I’m currently in the process of reviewing movies/collecting movie reviews. Now I do know a lot of movies but do you have something to share - please eleborate. Nothing better than information for fans from fans - and I’m affraid my fandoms might not fall together completely with yours.

Anyway, check SerraLapis the coming weeks to find out more about James’ new project Trance, Robert’s new project Cosmopolis and my all time favorite at the moment - Michael’s new movies Jane Eyre and A Dangerous Method.
