Top 10 Movies of the Decade
posted by Eric Melin on December 29, 2009

2. Children of Men (2006)

Alfonso Cuaron’s stirring sci-fi drama has in spades what many of its contemporaries lack—a sense of immediacy. This comes partly from an apocalyptic setting that’s 20 years in the future but doesn’t seem too far from today. It’s also because it sports the most visceral action scenes in years. Cuaron’s single-take, single-camera point of view during two remarkable sequences keep the audience rooted in the urgency of the crisis while the film’s setting keeps the audience thinking about today. The human race’s sudden, unexplained infertility is the device used to plunge the world into chaos, but it’s just a more aggressive extension of modern issues. Clive Owen is the perfect modern hero—a cynical, emotionally bruised man who must rise to the occasion when a huge responsibility comes out of nowhere. A shell-shocked former political activist, Owen’s Theo carries the burden with the rugged determination of someone who hasn’t had a reason to live in years. It may have been filmed during a time of political upheaval, but with new worldwide economic and environmental directions being plotted every day, Cuaron’s exceptional piece of pure cinema is a timely plea for rational thought and hope against all odds.

Clive Owen’s Family Balancing Act

Clive Owen finds it a struggle to balance his work and family life. The 'Boys Are Back' actor spends as much time as possible with his daughters Hannah, 12, and Eve, 10, but they are always upset by the irregularity of his working life. He said: "No matter how much time I spend at home, there's always this thing underneath - that there's a possibility I might disappear again and do a movie. Although I think there is an element of that to most fathers  "Whereas most fathers, even if they're not around that much, there's a regular routine." In his latest role, Clive portrays a widower, Joe Warr, who has to raise his two sons alone after his wife dies of cancer, but the 45-year-old insists his parenting style doesn't match Joe's. Referring to his character, Clive - who raises his children with wife Sarah-Jane Fenton - said: "It was a radical approach. They were thrown in this awful situation and he has to come up with a way to get through it. "But I'm not at all as crazy and loose as that. Although I think there is an element of that to most fathers. "I'd say we sometimes are too structured in the way that we do things and that it is important to keep loose and go with the flow a bit with children."

Ten years of sexy celebrities

Clive Owen
The dark and brooding Brit spent the decade trying to break into the top ranks of British actors. And he did so by playing Brits - King Arthur in "Arthur" and "Sir Walter Raleigh" in "Elizabeth: The Golden Age" - and thieving spies (or spying thieves) -"The International," "Duplicity."

Robert Rodriguez "Can't Say No" to Sin City 2

Talk of a Sin City sequel began almost immediately after the movie opened. Having earned nearly quadruple what it cost to make, and with plenty more Sin City stories by creator Frank Miller to draw on, a sequel almost seemed inevitable.

Not sure if we had seen this one or not, but I think it looks like it was filmed during TIFF - same black shirt and tan. *g*

Actress Brittany Murphy (Shelley from Sin City; Clive's character's girlfriend) died this morning due to an apparent drug overdose. Paramedics were called to her LA house Sunday morning, but could not revive the actress. She was pronounced dead from cardiac arrest. She was only 32 years old.

create your own clive

Anyone who does not find Clive Owen ludicrously attractive is, quite frankly, clinically deranged. I named my first car after him. Just remember that scene in Closer (with the naughty swearing) when he is in the zip neck jumper...yummmm. So this Christmas you are going to create your own Clive:

1 - Head to Uniqlo for a warm-cuddle-up-next-to-jumper, preferably cashmere, with a zip neck front (see Closer scene for ideas).
2 - Book an appointment with Roger for a peck-skimming, bicep-hinting fitted shirt for HK$450. Roger is the most stylish mens tailor in Hong Kong Roger (Roger Concept Tailor Co., Room 504, 5/F, Takshing House, 20 Des Voeux Road Central, Tel 2537 8449). Make sure you ask for the coloured button holes - so gorgeous and Roger can advise on colours and styles. 
3 - Hide his razor. A little bit of stubble maketh the man and who cares if its a bit bristly...Hopefully come 2010 the whole world will be full of mini Clives...ooooooooooo *faint*
