Eastern Promises

WHY WE RARELY SEE VIGGO MORTENSEN AROUND ANY MORE

We were particularly fond of Viggo Mortensen in “The Road” and it seems a lot of women are interested in his love life. He’s been pretty much off the market for five years with minimal publicity. That’s because his girlfriend is Spanish actress Ariadna Gil (she appeared with him in “Appaloosa”) and they live mostly in Spain. Viggo, 53,speaks fluent Spanish and he bought a place in Madrid where he spends most of his time with Ariadna and her child. Viggo is careful about choosing his movies because he feels that promoting them around the world is an exhausting and time consuming commitment.

We’re glad to see that Jamie-Lynn Sigler (Meadow) and Robert Iler (A.J.) who played brother and sister all those years on The Sopranos, are really fast friends. The other night they had dinner together at Il Sole. For readers out there who are still going through Sopranos withdrawal, there is relief. See the sensational movie Eastern Promises. It’s the most amazing gangster movie since Casino. Tony Soprano would have loved it.

Eastern Promises Viggo Mortensen

EASTERN PROMISES : LEAVES YOU WANTING MORE!

If you’re planning to go to the movies this weekend – you’re in luck because there’ s a fabulous new movie well worth your time and money. It’s Eastern Promises, and we can’t say enough good things about it. We loved David Cronenberg’s “A History of Violence” for it’s original concept – we’d never seen a movie like that before – how refreshing! And he’s done it again! Eastern Promises offers a peek into the Russian mafia (similar to the Italian mafia – but without any evident code of honor) and it’s utterly fascinating. Viggo Mortensen plays one of the hot mafia guys and he has a shocking nude scene where he’s in a steam room and attacked by two clothed killers. They roll around on the tiles for five bloody and agonizing minutes. Wow! This enlightening and gripping movie ends too soon and leaves you hoping for part II. Don’t miss it!
