Title: Everybody Has a Plan Director: Ana Piterbarg Starring: Viggo Mortensen, Soledad Villamil, Daniel Fanego, Javier Godino, Sofia Gala Castaglione A good number of actresses, including Penelope Cruz, have worked for years in multiple languages. And while it seems a bit less common with actors, recent James Bond villain Javier Bardem scored a Best Actor Oscar nomination for 2010′s “Biutiful” while speaking in his native tongue. But apart from Kristin Scott Thomas – and recently Will Ferrell, who took up Spanish for the comedy “Casa de Mi Padre” — few native English speakers aim to flex their bilingual skills on the big screen. And that’s a big part of the reason writer-director Ana Piterbarg’s “Everybody Has [ Read More ]

Barcelona Review editor Jill Adams selects her favourite films showcasing the vibrantly colourful, and gritty, Catalan capital
As featured in our Barcelona city guide
Todo Sobre Mi Madre (All About My Mother), Pedro Almodóvar, 1999
What is arguably Almodóvar's greatest work begins with tragedy in Madrid, but soon moves to Barcelona, beginning with a breathtaking night-time glimpse of the Sagrada Familia, where the sheer buoyancy of the city steers the film in a powerful and dazzling new direction. Here Manuela (the magnificent Cecilia Roth) reunites with her old friend, the witty and wonderful transsexual prostitute Agrado (Antonia San Juan) – whose flat overlooks the Palau de la Música – while inadvertently immersing herself in the world of theatre and helping a naive young nun (Penélope Cruz). Art mirrors life mirrors art in this vibrantly colourful (literally), multi-layered tribute to women ("We are all women!'" says Almodóvar) that beautifully captures the dynamism and...

Evans, 17, said that she never expected to make it past the first audition because she considered all the other girls to be "much better". "I remember sitting in the first audition, looking around, and thinking, 'Everyone here is so much better than me'. But I just kept getting put through," she told Digital Spy. "Every time I got through, I couldn't believe it, because I genuinely didn't think that I was good enough. It's only now that I have really started to believe in myself because I've come this far."

Steph was voted off the semi final show last night, after finding herself in the bottom two alongside Lauren Samuels.
On his decision to send her home Andrew Lloyd Webber said:
“I just didn’t quite the connection with what you were doing acting wise. You’re a fantastic singer but I did believe Lauren a little bit more.”
After being eliminated Steph told The Sun:
“After being in the bottom two in week one I never in a million years dreamed that I would come this far. I’m really happy I did this well.”
She added: “Lauren and I had both been in the bottom two twice, the same as Danielle Hope, so you really couldn’t call it.

Jenny is currently competing on the BBC reality TV show, for the chance to star in a west end production of The Wizard Of Oz and her grandmother Marloe thinks her grandad, George Stevenson, would have been very proud.
She told The News Of The World:
“George would have been blown away to see what’s happened with Susan – he always believed in her.
“And Jenny was the apple of his eye. He was so proud of her, he’d have been over the moon to see her perform on TV.”
“The two of them were very similar, George was a wonderful performer and he always knew that Jenny would be a star.

Emilie’s West End dream is over as she becomes the fourth contestant to be eliminated from BBC’s Over the Rainbow.
After a public vote Emilie and Sophie were the least popular Dorothys and Andrew Lloyd Webber voted to save Sophie. So the public’s ‘Wildcard’ Dorothy Emilie Fleming is the fourth Dorothy to leave the competition.
In yesterday’s live show, all eight remaining Dorothy finalists performed solo renditions of pop songs to show viewers that they have the singing skill and sheer charisma to carry one of the most challenging roles in musical theatre.
Emilie gave a lacklustre rendition of ‘Girls Just Wanna Have Fun’ by Cyndi Lauper and managed to turn a fun a peppy pop number into a tuneless cheese fest.
After Emilie’s performance John Partirdge said: “You really gave it some welly and attack, it was better.”
Charlotte said: “Fun, frivolous performance. You had some control issues though.

Sophie Evans sings ‘Love Song’
Sophie had a great week last week but unfortunately I think she’s lost some of her edge tonight. This song is way out of her vocal range and as it progressed it turned into a bit of a car crash performance. Sophie in the bottom two tomorrow night? Quite possibly I would think!
Jessica Robinson sings ‘There You’ll Be’
I can see why the judges were so blown away by Jessica’s rendition of Rehab a few weeks ago. She has that edgy sort of look that makes her more suited to sassy rock tunes and even though she has a good singing voice, these slow ballads just don’t work for her at all….somehow she made tonight’s song sound very very bland and the big note she hit was the only good moment in it.

Emilie’s vocal always sounds so strained and her acting abilities are a bit over the top if you ask me. Tonight she managed to take quite a fun tune and turn it into a chessy mess of awfulness.

On last week’s Over The Rainbow, Andrew Lloyd Webber and his panel of judges whittled down the Dorothy hopefuls to just 9. So far we have lost Amy Diamond and Bronte Barbe, we are hoping that wildcard Dorothy Emilie leaves this week, lets be honest, she never should have made to the live shows anyway!
The finalists open the show with a group performance of ‘Ease On Down The Road’ from the 1975 Broadway musical The Wiz. We are still waiting for the girls to attempt songs from Wicked…..or are they banned because this is a production of The Wizard Of Oz? Will there be deadly competition between both versions of Oz? Who knows.

On tonight’s Over The Rainbow Sophie Evans made a risky song choice and sang Beyonce’s If I Were A Boy. It’s a Huge song and we were worried at the start but she actually pulled it off. It wasn’t note perfect but her voice is just beautiful and she brought plenty of emotion to the piece. We like!
Jenny Douglas was the last Dorothy to sing (check out the video below) and she chose Pink’s So What? She gave it plenty of attitude and a really lively performance, but she doesn’t look remotely as crazed as Pink did in the video for this song. We actually had a minor debate her on the Unreality sofa about whether it should be sung in a half-crazed, bitter style or if she should be happy to be moving on? What has Sheila Hancock done to us?

On last week’s Over The Rainbow, Andrew Lloyd Webber and his panel of judges whittled down 20 Dorothy hopefuls to just 10. Tonight the public get to save one of last week’s rejects and see the final 11 perform.
Stephanie Davies & Lauren Samuels
Stephanie sings Pixie Lott’s Mama Do. They seem to be doing a lot of Pixie songs at the moment. Not that there are many, I suppose. Sassy vocals and she manages to look good in a yellow skirt.
She’s followed by Lauren, who sings Leona Lewis’ version of Run. We get a good look at her tonsils during this belter of a performance. Enjoyed her voice and how she tried to pump a bit of drama into it.
John: Both of these performances were leading lady performances. Stephanie – little miss Mama Do. I definitely do! And after that performance all the studio audience and everyone at home do as well.

The final ten women hoping to become the new Dorothy on Over The Rainbow have been revealed. The final 20 all had to sing in front of Andrew Lloyd Webber and the panel - Charlotte Church, John Partridge and Sheila Hancock - on tonight's show to convince them to put them through to the next stage of the competition. The hopefuls were divided into groups of four and had to sing one pop song and one West End track to persuade the judges to save them. Among the final ten are 18-year-old Bronte Barbe, 17-year-old Stephanie Davis and former Page 3 girl Amy Diamond, although Webber said that he is "not quite sure she could be a Dorothy". 18-year-old Jenny Douglas, former X Factor contestant Sophie Evans and Steph Fearon, who has previously starred in Casualty and My Parents Are Aliens, also made the cut. The youngest contestant, 16-year-old Dani Rayner,...

Last night we saw the Over The Rainbow judges whittling down their group of hopefuls from thousands to just twenty. On tonight’s installment the panel will reduce the number to just ten and these girls will perform on the live shows starting next week.
As one of their tasks tonight, the girls get to work through a performance with five of the West End’s most well-respected leading ladies – Kelly Ellis (soon to replace Jodie Prenger as Nancy in Oliver!), Ruthie Henshall (currently appearing in Chicago), Sheridan Smith (Legally Blonde), Tamzin Outhwaite (Sweet Charity) and Melanie C (Blood Brothers) – to gain a valuable insight into the life and profession that awaits them when they reach the end of the yellow brick road.
The show opens with our final 20 Dorothys. Well, 21 if you count Graham Norton. (oh, that joke’s old already…yawn) Graham gives us a run-down of the contestants,...
