The week in film

Isabella goes mobile

Isabella Rossellini, who wore drag to take various roles in her delightful short film My Father is a Hundred years Old, is now impersonating variously a firefly, a spider and a dragonfly in a series of short films called Green Porno, made for mobile phones, the so-called fourth screen. There's a very witty interview with her in the New York Times this week.

Rupert Grint, straight-shooter

Those who always preferred Ron Weasley to young Harry in the Harry Potter movies might be entertained by Rupert Grint's comments in a recent interview. While his school chum Daniel Radcliffe makes a smooth transition to teen star, Redheaded Rupert, at 19, isn't so sure he wants to head for Hollywood. Here's what he blurted in a recent interview, when asked about Lindsay Lohan.

'I met Lindsay last summer and she talked about herself a lot. She said she was going to win an Oscar before she turns 25. I just kept thinking, "But you can't act". I haven't met Paris and don't want to either. She and Lindsay are the type of girls you need to stay away from.'

Oh Rupert. How uncool, and how lovely. Keep away from those mean girls, and stay as sweet as you are. Promise me!
