At the airport, she meets her personal driver Frank Forbes (Ehrenreich), only two weeks on the job and also from a religiously conservative background.Their instant attraction not only puts their religious convictions to the test, but also defies Hughes' #1 rule: no employee is allowed to have an intimate relationship with a contract actress. But Hughes' absurd behavior intersects with Marla and Frank in very separate and unexpected ways, and as they are drawn deeper into his bizarre world, their values are challenged and their lives are changed.RULES DON'T APPLY is written, directed and produced by Warren Beatty.

A book began the bond of a lifetime...

Back in 2013, Andy and I (Leydy) had the opportunity to meet the cast of The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones while they tour in Miami. Being part of press was fantastic. We were able to capture tons of pictures and even live streamed the Q&A. However, being the fangirls we are, we woke up early days before to make the line to meet & greet the cast.

Today, we are walking down memory lane of this event - the day we met Lily Collins, Kevin Zegers and Jamie Campbell Bower! And we want to share with you these pictures,  videos and even the streaming videos!

While Lily signed my poster, a fan in front of me was giving a special gift to Jaime. And we got it on video. Check it out:

Okay, so these are not the best quality, but keep in mind, these were steamed live from an iPhone! Yeah, we wanted to share our experience live with our readers:

While broadcasting live, we were recording as well! Oh, yes, we are professional fangirls!

And if videos are not enough, we have pictures to share with you!

Trailer Thursday: Exquisite Captive by Heather Demetrios + Love, Rosie

Exquisite Captive

Dark Caravan Cycle #1

Author: Heather Demetrios

Expected Publication: October 7, 2014

Publisher: Balzer + Bray

Forced to obey her master.

Compelled to help her enemy.

Determined to free herself.

Nalia is a jinni of tremendous ancient power, the only survivor of a coup that killed nearly everyone she loved. Stuffed into a bottle and sold by a slave trader, she’s now in hiding on the dark caravan, the lucrative jinni slave trade between Arjinna and Earth, where jinn are forced to grant wishes and obey their human masters’ every command. She’d give almost anything to be free of the golden shackles that bind her to Malek, her handsome, cruel master, and his lavish Hollywood lifestyle.

Enter Raif, the enigmatic leader of Arjinna’s revolution and Nalia’s sworn enemy. He promises to free Nalia from her master so that she can return to her ravaged homeland and free her imprisoned brother—all for an unbearably high price. Nalia’s not sure she can trust him, but Raif’s her only hope of escape. With her enemies on the hunt, Earth has become more perilous than ever for Nalia. There’s just one catch: for Raif’s unbinding magic to work, Nalia must gain possession of her bottle…and convince the dangerously persuasive Malek that she truly loves him. Battling a dark past and harboring a terrible secret, Nalia soon realizes her freedom may come at a price too terrible to pay: but how far is she willing to go for it?

Inspired by Arabian Nights, EXQUISITE CAPTIVE brings to life a deliciously seductive world where a wish can be a curse and shadows are sometimes safer than the light.

After the disappearance of her mother (Lena Headey), Clary must join forces with a group of Shadowhunters, who introduce her to a dangerous alternate New York called Downworld, filled with demons, warlocks, vampires, werewolves and other deadly creatures. Based on the worldwide best-selling book series. Written by Sony Pictures Entertainment

One word: Fantastic. The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones will keep you entertained from the beginning all the way till the last-minute. It doesn’t matter if you read the book or not, the movie is its own entity. As far as adaptations go, I have to say this one is in the top ones that are well made. Its been a few years since I read City of Bones so if minor details were missing or even bigger ones, I didn’t notice or catch them. I learned with previous films you should never read the books right before you see the movies, because you will sit there and pick all the details missing and make your movie watching experience horrible. Give sometime in between reading and then watching the film. You wont regret it. I saw all the key points that I read in the book which made City of Bones the bestseller that it is. So the kudos goes to the screenwriter Jessica Postigo Paquette for creating a screenplay that was as true as it could be to match the novel. Thank you for giving us 2 hours of film, I didn’t want it to end.

These are key parts that stayed with me well after seeing the movie:

• The Runes: They were exactly represented on the Shadowhunters like I pictured while reading. The way Clary or the other drew them on was excellent. Nothing looked cheesy. It left such an impressing with my boys that they said afterwards they wanted to be Shadowhunters for Halloween.
• Wolves: These creatures were great, They look like the real deal not overdone at all.
• Action: IT WAS AWESOME. I am a huge action junkie and every fight scene had me at the edge of my seat wanting more. Clary and Jace did a fantastic job keeping up and defending themselves like Shadowhunters.
• The Institute: It was more beautiful that I even imagined it. I loved how they show us how it would look to a Mundane as opposed to the Shadowhunters.
• The Mortal Cup: From how it was embedded and hidden into the tarot card and once it was in Clary’s hand, the cup was executed well. It’s very detailed and beautiful and would make sense it came from an Angel.
• The Greenhouse: WOW! Can I just live there? It was like a scene was taken from Avatar (one of my favorite movies of all time) and loaned to be used in the Greenhouse. Anyone would want to kiss inside while its raining.

I wont go into extreme detail because if you have read the book, you know what happens. If you haven’t I don't want to spoil any parts for you. I was impressed with the acting, Jamie Campbell Bower as Jace really did Jace right. His mannerism and the delivery of his lines, were very Jace in the book. Lily Collins as Clary was perfect, i am a fan of Lily and this movie shows she has a great range in her acting. When Clary had to be the mundane girl, she was and when Clary had to turn on that Shadowhunter inside her, Lily hit it out of the park. The outfits everyone wore screamed The Mortal Instruments. Great job wardrobe department. Seriously the whole cast just did their part. I would probably say the characters I was impressed with the most was Valentine, Jonathan Rhys Meyers was psychotically good. The intensity he brought to Valentine was brilliant and well-played. I was consumed by his scenes.

If you want to be transported into a world hidden right under the noses of the Mundane then go out and see The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones and be ready to catch yourself holding your breath and forgetting to blink so you don’t miss a single second of this film. A movie for the whole family or date night. I took along with me my 6 and 11-year-old boys, Husband and Mother and everyone equally enjoyed the movie. Beautiful graphics, thrilling action and a romance to make your toes curl. One of the summers best movies hands-down!
