FILM REVIEW: ‘Devil’s Double’

Movies where actors play their own twin tend to be excruciating exercises in vanity, as the actor tries desperately set each character apart in subtle ways, but when it comes to Dominic Cooper as both Uday Hussein and his body double Latif Yahia in The Devil’s Double, subtlety isn’t called for: Balls-to-the-wall bravado is.
That’s because Uday, the son of Saddam, was a maniac who, according to one friend, “has always wanted to fuck himself.” So he hires an old school chum, Latif, to shadow him, including surgery to perfect his appearance, making Latif the target should any assassins choose to come after him. But there’s also a narcissistic personality at work; Uday seems obsessed with Latif as an object of admiration — a living self-portrait on which he can project his twisted, sociopathic tendencies.
The theme his hit home since Cooper is frequently naked throughout the film, providing a certain homoeroticism that the film gloriously feeds on. This is a wild retelling of the life of an historic-on-the-fringe figure, who runs around with drag queens and talks about Latif’s penis size and insists his guests (male and female) strip naked far more often than a straight guy should.
The style, a combination of Scarface, Blow, Casino and The Last King of Scotland, proves to be a showcase for the talents of Cooper, who appears destined for an Oscar nomination for his captivatingly complex and layered performance. It’s never difficult to tell when he’s Latif and when he’s Uday — and it’s not just the fake teeth. “One, he’s sober and two, he’s not foaming at the mouth,” Uday’s brother, Qusay, says in describing their differences. Cooper captures Uday’s mania in his eyes, his stance, his inherent instability, then reverses those qualities as Latif. It’s a star-making role in a brutal and deliciously overwrought story of madness and power — one of the best films of the summer.

'The Dark Knight Rises' to Film Scene With Pittsburgh Steelers

Christopher Nolan's upcoming Batman film, The Dark Knight Rises, is adding some professional athletes to its cast.
Members of the NFL's Pittsburgh Steelers team will be filming a scene in the Warner Bros. film this weekend playing football players at Heinz Field. Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and a dozen of his teammates, including Hines Ward, Willie Colon and Maurkice Pouncey, are expected to participate during Saturday's filming. Thousands of extras will be on hand to play fans.

"I'm kind of getting everybody together," Roethlisberger told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette on Friday. "I heard it's going to be a neat thing at the stadium. I don't think it will be a big part, it's not like we're chasing Batman down or anyting. It's something neat that in 10 years or 20 years we can tell our kids we were in a movie."
This doesn't come as too much of a surprise as The Dark Knight Rises has been filming in the Pittsburgh area.

"From what I've heard, it's going to be like a pre-game, warming-up type thing,'' Roethlisberger said. "I don't know the whole concept. There's a Gotham team, a football game. We'll be wearing uniforms."
According to the Post-Gazette, Roethlisberger has a budding friendship with the film's executive producer Thomas Tull. Two years ago, Tull joined the Steelers' ownership.
Christian Bale, Anne Hathaway and Gary Oldman star in The Dark Knight Rises.

Taylor Swift covers Eminem's 'Lose Yourself, says 'Yo!' very well

Taylor Swift, who’s always kinda shocked about something, now takes pride in causing her fans to make the Surprised Face.
And she’s been extremely successful at achieving that during her Speak Now tour by covering hometown artists from each stop.
In Toronto, she played a Canadian medley that included Justin Bieber’s “Baby,” Alanis Morissette’s “You Learn,” and Tal Bachman’s “She’s So High” (though—you guys!—she totally wasn’t).
In Newark, New Jersey, during a set that we reviewed in EW, it was Bon Jovi’s “Livin’ On a Prayer” and Bruce Springsteen’s “Dancing in the Dark.” And just last Wednesday, she performed Eminem’s “Lose Yourself” for Grand Rapids, Michigan, segueing into a cover of Uncle Kracker’s “Smile.”
We don’t know what we like more about this clip, that Taylor’s so gratified by shouting “Yo!” or that billions of preteen girls know every single word to an Uncle Kracker song. Watch Swift pay tribute to Eminem’s mom’s spaghetti after the jump.

Remy Hair to Beauty

When hair extensions or wigs are considered Remy hair is the most appropriate choice on sale. They are the best quality hair extensions produced from actual human hair. They are in any situation recommendable than their synthetic counterparts as, being Nature’s own creation, they adjust fine with our own hair. And among natural hair extensions too, Remy hair is preferable, because its cuticles are in good condition, so that it obtains the natural look and gleam.

Virgin hair is the one which has not been processed and hence is the most correct to be brought into use to produce hair extensions and wigs. On the contrary non-virgin Remy hair are applied various chemical processes prior to being converted into an extension or wig. The most common among these methods is change of color shade.

And amongst both these types, there are two categoies namely, single and double drawn. The first sort, viz. single drawn in a bundle varies a little in its length, whereas the second type, i.e. double drawn is identical in length, grouped in such a manner that its cuticles point towards one direction, and therefore they are high-priced, because of the attention and time necessary to segregate it out according to length of each fragment and organiz them in same direction. The double drawn virgin Remy hair is known to be the most apt when buying hair extensions.

Some matters should be considered while picking out hair extensions. You can observe keenly at the product and recognize whether it is of high standard or not. The hair extension is fine when its cuticles are in one direction. Cuticles are same as shingles on a roof top. If they are not grouped in the same direction, they twist with each other creating muddled hair. When hair is grouped with its cuticles being in similar direction, the hair seems glowing and more like original.

While buying and using Remy hair, it is very important that its color must match with that of your own hair. To confirm if it goes, always confirm your natural hair fragments from their lower portion, i.e. from the middle till the tip. This is due to the fact this part of the hair is the previous emerged segment and hence becomes ligter to a small amount than the recently grown part near your head. The portion adjacent your head is naturally a bit darker than the lower segment. The extensions should go with the hue of the lower segment. It is also necessary that the extensions must match the length, feel and curl of your hair. If your own hair is wavy or curly to a small amount and the extensions you opt for are straight, they are not apparently a good match, because it can be known easily that you have attached hair extensions.

It is helpful to cut hair extensions sometimes, especially if they are clip-ins. Trimming of extensions are advised to adjust your own fashion.

Take away the Remy hair at the time of going to bed. Because hair extensions or wigs apply at least a little friction on your own hair, taking them off your head while going to bed is always correct.
