Clive Owen deliberately takes time between movies to be with his daughters who are growing up fast. Hannah is 16 and Eve is 14 and they still have not seen all of their father’s movies. Clive is saving that experience until they are 18. Above, he took his oldest daughter Hannah with him to the Rome Film Festival and they did some shopping and treated themselves to gelato.

ELIZABETH TAYLOR AND RICHARD BURTON’S TUMULTUOUS LOVE STORY IS COMING TO THE BIG SCREEN

Another casting dilemma. The book “Furious Love: Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton, and the Marriage of the Century” is coming to the big screen and the hottest brunettes in Hollywood are hoping to play the legendary beauty Elizabeth Taylor. Top contenders are Angelina Jolie and Catherine Zeta-Jones. Both would have to put on a few pounds to emulate Liz’s bountiful curves. Top choices to play Richard Burton are Russell Crowe (who does have the animal magnetism,) Clive Owen (rough AND tender,) and Colin Farrell (charming Irish.) We were lucky to meet Richard at an awards show with his last wife and found him to be startlingly appealing and friendly. He WAS special.

CLIVE OWEN: WHAT A DIFFERENCE A MUSTACHE MAKES

Clive Owen is filming “The Killer Elite” with Jason Statham in Australia and we hope he doesn’t have this facial hair through the entire movie. He looks more geeky than sexy. It’s a buddy movie about two guys who were in Britain’s special forces together, and they find members of the team they worked with being hunted down and killed one by one. The two hot leading men almost make it worth it to put up with all those stunts and car chases.

CLIVE OWEN TRIUMPHS IN THE “BOYS ARE BACK”

Whether or not you have a weakness for Clive Owen, run, don’t walk, to the nearest theater to see “The Boys Are Back.” After seeing Clive in one action film after another, we almost forgot he could act. This Australian movie is based on a true story about a sports writer who becomes a single father and has to learn how to deal with the everyday family problems that his wife always handled. It’s funny and sad and the likable characters all develop as time goes on. Clive is amazing – we can’t remember the last time we were in a theater when almost every one in the audience was crying.

WERE YOU DUPED BY DUPLICITY?

“Duplicity” ia another example of “the emperors new clothes.” (No one wants to admit they don’t understand it.) There are may reviews praising Julia Roberts and Clive Owen and their spicy dialog, but few reviewers seem to bring up the fact that the PLOT is a convoluted mess, almost impossible to understand. It seems most reviewers are afraid to confess they couldn’t figure out what the heck is going on in this story. It’s exhausting trying to keep the flashbacks and flashforwards straight. The movie has some very appealing scenes and characters, but is it really out of line to expect a plot that a person with normal observational powers can follow? Did any readers out there really understand this film?
