Milla Jovovich is in Los Angeles to promote her latest movie, A Perfect Getaway, in which she and Steve Zahn play a couple honeymooning in Hawaii who are terrorized by someone targeting newlyweds. It’s sort of a Scream for honeymooners, and nothing to write home about. Jovovich says all the right things – about how great it was to work with Zahn, how nice is was to be able to reveal a different side of herself onscreen, etc – but seems a little bored. When I ask her about her daughter, however, she perks right up.
“There’s no mystery to who I am any more,” she says. “You know, you go through your whole life looking for an identity and then you become a mother and you’re like: ‘Oh … I’m a mom.’ So no matter what, that’s what I am. If everything else fades, I’m, still a mom. The acting, the modeling, the career – I’d give it all up tomorrow for her. Everything else is secondary, which makes it all the more enjoyable, because it’s not like the be-all-and-end-all, its more like: oh, cool. A movie in Puerto Rico? That sounds fun. Get me out of the house for a little bit. Maybe I can go to New York for a few days and get some sleep …” You’ve been using your promotional tour to catch up on sleep? “It’s the only time I don’t get woken up with ‘mama!’ all the time. I mean you can try ignoring it, but it’s just impossible.” (more…)
A Perfect Getaway, Kiele Sanchez, Unrated Director's Cut - Blu-ray

When you include the word “perfect” in your movie’s title, you leave yourself a rather easy target for cunning wordsmiths should the film not at least live up to the expectations of the genre. Double entendre aside, A Perfect Getaway does fulfill the suspense promised by the trailer and even throws in a little nastily creative violence, but also sadly offers far too many twists and turns and the much-dreaded flashback – letting the audience know they couldn’t have figured it out themselves. It becomes quite obvious early on that things are not what they seem, so attempting to guess the outcome replaces the tension; and oddly intentional screenwriting references spoil several surprises. By the end you should be able to decipher American Jedi from angry hitchhikers, but will you care? It’s a credit to David Twohy’s directing that you probably will, but the only real getaway is the climax when it perfectly escapes from the credibility of the plot. (more…)
As Sawyer put it so perfectly in her last episode, “Who the hell is Nikki?”
Kiele Sanchez, if nothing else as Nikki Fernandez’s brief run on Lost proves one of the advantages of writing for television as opposed to movies and books. Had Lost been a single long novel or film and had Nikki and her boy-toy Paolo still showed up halfway through, the writer would have had no way of knowing that the audience would resent them so much. Because a long-running TV show can evolve, Lost writers were able to gauge fan reaction and address the problem: They killed Nikki and Paolo and did so in a rather entertaining fashion. Yes, though I was no fan of these two, I found their final episode, “Exposé,” to be immensely entertaining, wonderfully dark and all-in-all rewarding, since it ended with the Losers burying Nikki and Paolo alive. Goodbye, Losers who should not have been! (more…)
