The Girls of Cashmere Mafia: Bonnie Somerville, Frances O’Connor, Lucy Liu, Miranda Otto
I’ll admit it and say that I don’t know what the new show Cashmere Mafia is all about. Heck, I can’t even tell you what cashmere is, or how it feels. Yeah, I’m that fashion-retarded. Go ahead and stone me — it still won’t make me know what cashmere is! Stop punishing me! But I digress. I may not know what cashmere is, or what the show Cashmere Mafia is about (I’m guessing it has cashmere in it, and the mafia), but I do know that they have some pretty hot number on the show, including Bonnie Somerville, Frances O’Connor, Lucy Liu, and Miranda Otto. Okay, so I have no idea who Somerville is, but I do know who the rest of the girls are, and they’re worth taking note off.
So How Bad is Lucy Liu’s RISE: BLOOD HUNTER?
well, this is certainly disappointing, but the first review of Lucy Liu’s “Rise: Blood Hunter” is not a very good one. In fact, it’s pretty abysmal. IGN recently saw the film at the Tribeca Film Festival and calls it, “a blood-red affair thrown together in a dash, a little number that will ultimately get the same kind of treatment from audiences as it did from those who made it: something you might cue up in the DVD player on a whim and forget just as easily.” And that’s the good part! Basically, they give it 2 stars out of 5, which is not a recommendation if you know your math. You can read the rest of the review here. It ain’t pretty, but unfortunately, after all the delays and the copycat poster, I sorta knew it would suck. Bad.
Lucy Liu’s RISE: BLOOD HUNTER Gets a Movie Poster
Lucy Liu’s “Rise” has been around forever, and I’ve only heard sporadic information about it. It’s almost as if the studio is trying to purposefully bury it, which might just be what they’re going to do. The film is being listed as getting a limited release on June 1st, 2007, but I’ll be shock if I see any ads for this as it misses a theater near me. Then again, I could be wrong. Anyways, the movie has since been retitled “Rise: Blood Hunter”, and it’s got a new poster. But if you look at the poster, it sure looks a lot like Kate Beckinsale’s “Underworld: Evolution” movie poster. They say imitation is the greatest form of flattery; in the movie business, movie poster imitation is just a lame attempt to trick Blockbuster renters to pick up your movie.
Lucy Liu in “Rise” Images
Not a whole lot has been heard about or seen from the Lucy Liu vampire movie “Rise” in quite some time, so any little bit is worth creating a post for. Here are some of the very first pictures I’ve seen from the movie, promo stills that found their way on the net. In “Rise”, “a reporter (Liu) wakes up in a morgue to discover she is no longer among the living. She vows revenge against the cult responsible for putting her there and hunts them down one by one. [Michael] Chiklis plays ‘Rawlins,’ a haunted police detective whose daughter is killed by the same cult and seeks answers for her gruesome death.”
Carla Gugino on the Long-Delayed Vampire Movie “Rise”
I’ve been hearing about the vampire movie “Rise” for a while now, but hasn’t seen (nor has anybody else, it seems) hide or hair of it since, well, ever. The movie stars Lucy Liu as a reporter who gets herself killed, becomes a vampire, and goes after the vampires who turned her. Carla Gugino, who made the flick before hopping onto her short-lived CBS show “Threshold”, has said she thinks the movie will come out soon. She has no idea what the hold-up is, but it should be out soon. Probably.
Lucy Liu is Too Cool for Clothes
Lucy Liu is currently the hottest Asian actress in Hollywood, which sort of makes you wonder if Hollywood is full of Liberals, and Liberals think diversity is a great thing, how come there’s only one well-known, famous, and working Asian woman at the moment. In any case, here’s Lucy, and love that tight body.
