(”Fill up momma’s wine glass and I’ll show you what I like to call the Streeptease.”)
Writer/Director Nancy Meyers writes the kind of movies (What Women Want, Something’s Gotta Give, The Holiday) that my mom forces me to watch that I end up resenting her for a little bit. This is the new trailer for her latest, starring Meryl Streep, Steve Martin, and Alec Baldwin (good), whose title is a copy of either a Facebook relationship status, an Avril Lavigne song, or a Denise Richards reality show (bad). Coming Christmas Day, It’s Complicated. Have you ever wanted to hear Alec Baldwin deliver lines that start with “O M G”? (no) Did you ever wish you’d see Meryl Streep and Alec Baldwin making out in an elevator? (no) Were you hoping Steve Martin would get hip to webcam chat? (no) Well then this movie is for you! (not me).
From Nancy Meyers, the director of Something’s Gotta Give and What Women Want comes Old People F*cking Part 3, aka It’s Complicated. I hope it lives up to its name better than Denise Richards’ reality show, because in Denise Richards’ world, “complicated” seems to mean “hanging out on the f*cking beach drinking wine” a lot. It must be rough being a hobo with money. Where was I? Oh right, the movie. See, Meryl Streep was married to Alec Baldwin, who left her for a hot 20-something. But now they’re having an affair, even though she’s his ex-wife, even though her architect Steve Martin also wants a piece, and yeah, mom, this looks totally hilarious and realistic too.

Julie and Julia is director Nora Ephron’s (Sleepless in Seattle, You’ve Got Mail, Bewitched *shudder*) simultaneous adaptation of two books, Julia Child’s autobiography, My Life in France, and a memoir by Julie Powell called Julie and Julia, adapted from her blog about cooking each one of Julia Child’s 524 recipes in Mastering the Art of French Cooking. It will tell Powell’s (played by Amy Adams) story in parallel to Child’s, and it’s sure to be a crowd pleaser, what with Meryl Streep doing that annoying gd voice the entire movie. Oh hey would you look at that, I’m spotting.

The trailer for Doubt, based on the Pulitzer-prize winning play, has hit the web. It may have just edged out The Soloist as the most Oscar-y looking movie of the year. The rundown:
Phillip Seymour Hoffman plays the headmaster at a Catholic school, who gets accused of kiddie-diddling by a bitchy old nun played by Meryl Streep. Did he do it, or is the old nun just being her bitchy self and settling personal grievances? NILF Amy Adams isn’t sure who to believe.
I haven’t seen the play so I don’t know what the answer is. I’ll tell you this though, a guy who doesn’t rape little boys doesn’t call his house a “rectory”.
The old broad can sure disappear into a role, can’t she? What an actress.
