Ethan Hawke Julia Roberts Leave the World Behind

CAN JULIA ROBERTS AND ETHAN HAWKE EXIST WITHOUT INTERNET?

Julia Roberts and Ethan Hawke are on a New York beach filming Leave the World Behind and it looks like a fascinating movie. They play a couple with children who have been eagerly anticipating their family dream vacation, so they rent a holiday home in a beach town. Suddenly there’s a total blackout in the city and the owners of the home arrive. Nobody knows what’s happening because there is no internet, TV, radio, or landlines working. Sonic booms begin, and animals start to behave strangely. The renters are upscale and white, and the house owners are upscale and black, – people start freaking out and racial issues are added to the frightening things happening all around…

MAGGIE’S PLAN: THAT PRECIOUS COMBINATION OF SMART AND FUNNY

Funny and intelligent are, unfortunately, not words you generally hear describing a movie. (Unless it’s a Woody Allen movie, anyway.) Rebecca Miller’s brilliant film Maggie’s Plan serves up both smart dialog and humor in a delicious manner. Greta Gerwig stars as an achingly real and likeable thirty-something New Yorker who yearns for a baby but has no marriage prospects. Before she can complete her fertilization plans, she meets and falls for a self-centered married professor turned author, played by Ethan Hawke. The resulting love triangle causes many unexpected things to happen and many lessons to be learned. Her best friends, played by Bill Hader and Maya Rudolph, try to advise her. When is the last time you saw a comedy that didn’t EMBARRASS you? If you’re wondering why there aren’t more films like this – it’s because women aren’t given the filmmaking chances they deserve…

Before Devil You're Dead Boyhood Ethan Hawke Evolution

ETHAN HAWKE HAS COME A LONG WAY, BABY

Ten years ago we thought Ethan Hawke was a loser. Uma Thurman had just divorced him and he spent his days looking like a slob, hanging around coffee shops in New York with his unemployed actor cronies. Nights were spent in bars drinking too much and making rude comments about other patrons. To our surprise, Ethan pulled his act together and has evolved into an accomplished writer and actor. We particularly loved him in “Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead “ with Phillip Seymour Hoffman. Above, Ethan is dressed like a fancy man for his appearance on a talk show to promote “Boyhood.”

Ethan Hawke Joan Rivers

SOMETHING YOU DON’T SEE EVERY DAY: ETHAN HAWKE AND JOAN RIVERS

Who would have guessed that Ethan Hawke was a big Joan Rivers fan? Ethan seemed delighted to run into Joan at LAX and posed for photos with her. The “Before Midnight” actor opens Thursday on Broadway in “Macbeth.” Joan is being sued for 15 million dollars by a neighbor in her New York condo building.

Before Devil You're Dead Ethan Hawke Mickey Rourke The Wrestler

CELEBRITY COLLISION: ETHAN HAWKE AND MICKEY ROURKE

What happens when two celebrities eye each other on the street? Hopefully they acknowledge one another with a wink or a nod, at least. Ethan Hawke and his wife Ryan were strolling in New York with their two daughters Clementine and Indiana when they turned a corner in Soho and ran into Mickey Rourke. Mickey was hanging out, having a smoke with some buddies, and Ethan greeted him with enthusiasm (nice.) Ethan starred in one of our favorite movies “Before The Devil Know You’re Dead” and not long after it came out, Mickey’s “The Wrestler” was released. So it makes sense that they’d admire each other’s work.

"Moby Dick" Ethan Hawke Family Nanny Ryan Shawnhughes

REALITY BITES: THE ETHAN HAWKE FAMILY IN NEW YORK

It’s a family day in New York for Ethan Hawke, 39, and his kids Maya, 12, and Levon, 8, (from his marriage to Uma Thurman.) He’s holding his new baby Clementine with his current wife Ryan Shawnhughes, whom he married two years ago. (She was his children’s nanny.) Ethan, who was brilliant in “Training Day,” may look like a suburban dad, but he’s working steadily – besides the TV movie “Moby Dick” coming out this year, he has four other films in production.

THE FRONT ROW IS WHERE THE ACTION IS

“Gary Unmarried” star Jay Mohr (looking heftier than usual) and his lush lipped wife Nikki Cox sat next to Ethan Hawke and his seven year old son Levon. Little Levon bears a striking resemblance to his mother, Ethan’s exwife, Uma Thurman.

Before Devil You're Dead Ethan Hawke Oscars Philip Seymour Hoffman

BEFORE THE DEVIL KNOWS YOU'RE DEAD IS ONE OF THE BEST MOVIES OF THE YEAR,

One of the Academy’s biggest mistakes this year was ignoring the movie “Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead.” It’s an amazing roller coaster ride of a movie with unexpected twists around every corner. The story is absolutely brilliant and SO much fun to watch. Ethan Hawke and Philip Seymour Hoffman have never been better. If Academy members had SEEN this film they would certainly have nominated Hoffman for this movie and not Charlie Wilson’s War. Easily one of the most entertaining movies of the year and well worth the price of admittance. Make an effort to find it and see it.
