Guy Ritchie Doesn’t Regret His Madonna Film
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrity Gossip, Filmmaking,
British director Guy Ritchie - whose 2002 movie with ex-wife Madonna flopped at the cinema and went straight to DVD in the UK - said he wasn’t upset by the critics. Ritchie believes you have to do some things wrong in order to know what works.
“Swept Away was always going to have a limited audience. The idea was that it was going to be a small film… but you can’t do small films with the ex,” the 41-year-old said.
The romantic comedy was a disaster at the box office, just like his 2005 film Revolver which starred Jason Stratham. But Guy said he doesn’t take too much criticism on board—in fact, Revolver is still his favorite movie.

Couples With The Worst On-Screen Chemistry
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Lucasfilm Ltd., Casting, Lists,
Chemistry, schmemistry. If you know people are going to be watching your movie anyway—does it really matter? Whaddya say, George Lucas?
Film advertising company Pearl & Dean polled 3,000 British moviegoers to see which couples they felt had the worst on-screen chemistry. Based on the results, it’s hard to say whether or not those opinions had any affect on the eventual box office receipts. While I completely agree that Natalie Portman and Hayden Christensen fizzled as secret-lovers, I don’t know that the movie’s storyline (or final numbers) could have improved with a different twosome.
Take a look at the poll results and see what you think. Which couples would you add to this list? Three pairings that come to my mind: Julia Roberts/ Nick Nolte (I Love Trouble), Julia Roberts/ Brad Pitt (The Mexican) and Julia Roberts/ John Cusack (America’s Sweethearts).
- Natalie Portman & Hayden Christensen - Stars Wars: Episode II
- Jennifer Lopez & Ben Affleck - Gigli
- Keira Knightley & Orlando Bloom - Pirates of the Caribbean
- Madonna & Adriano Giannini - Swept Away
- Catherine Zeta-Jones & Sean Connery - Entrapment
- Andie MacDowell & Hugh Grant - Four Weddings and a Funeral
- Kate Beckinsale & Ben Affleck - Pearl Harbor
- Nicole Kidman & Tom Cruise - Eyes Wide Shut
- Jake Gyllenhaal & Heath Ledger - Brokeback Mountain
- Kate Winslet & Leonardo DiCaprio - Titanic
