Elizabethtown screening

Di sent in her review of the Elizabethtown screening Roseville, CA

I just saw the first studio screening for Elizabethtown! It was held at a theater, here in Roseville, CA. It was FANTASTIC! Everything was great.. The humor, the story line... The music was great! I found myself tapping along with songs.. It just all worked for me, and I'm not a fan of comedies.

Orlando really demonstrated what a talented actor he is. He was very expressive and funny throughout the film. Drew is nothing like any of his other roles, and he just shines. Dunst was good too.. There were a few times I thought she was a bit over the top, but this is the first showing of the film.

The movie was 30 minutes late getting started, so the studio paid for all the snacks. A lot of people were taking advantage of this, and nearly cleaned out the snack bar. We were there for over 5 hours, so those extra snacks did come in handy.

I'll stop here. Don't want to spoil it for all of you.. I just know you're going to love it!

Cleo Hot Men
posted by Jas, 05/27/05
serenagreenleaf reports that Orlando is featured on NineMSN Cleo Hot Men. Profile says: Two words: spunk rat. Not even a platinum wig (think LOTR) can detract from Orlando Bloom's sex appeal. His new flick Kingdom of Heaven is in cinemas now. Lap it up and bring a flannel for spills (because you'll be drooling…).
