Morning

Just a couple really cool things that couldn’t wait till a full update.

Eric sent in another fantastic scan from the Elle shoot.

And Krysta stumbled across the german True site, which has some lovely Nat pics.

Roger Friedman has posted his Closer review, which you can read in full here. Here are a couple choice blurbs…

I shall oblige by giving it a grade with a caveat: A-minus if we’re not talking about a Best Picture Oscar or The New Morality. I’m giving it an A-minus because it looks great, has cool music by Damien Rice, Oscar-caliber performances by Owen and Portman and really fine work by Roberts and Law in less showy, more stolid roles than their counterparts…

…In the end, “Closer” is a character study, not plot-driven, and the pleasure comes from watching the actors constantly repositioning themselves.

Unfortunately, as with Portman’s stripper, that can also be literal, and one scene with her and Owen is sure to cause more than just water-cooler talk. The only thing that crossed my mind as this played out was: “What will Portman’s parents think when they see this?”

But luckily, Natalie’s real-life dad is a famous gynecologist and fertility expert….
