Snow Flower and the Secret Fan is a nice little story about two women — or, rather, two sets of women living some 180 years apart — who vow “eternal commitment” and frequently stare at one another with dewy adoration. To invoke Pauline Kael’s review of Diane Kurys’s Entre Nous , it’s about two women not having a lesbian affair.

Editor’s note: This review may contain spoilers, particularly for those who haven’t read the books. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 was an in-between moment of a movie, a picture that left many fans of this most unusual movie franchise — not to mention the books they’re based on — feeling adrift and forlorn. By necessity, it was only a story half-told: Adapting the seventh and final book in J.K. Rowling’s series required splitting the story into two parts. Now, with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 , director David Yates and screenwriter Steve Kloves guide the story to a graceful and satisfying end. The movie’s final moments are the equivalent of the half-jubilant, half-mournful thrill you get when you close the cover of a book you’ve savored.

Excerpt from:
For years now, it looked like the tousled adorkability and winsome charms of British movie star Hugh Grant were beginning to grow long in the tooth. That is, until the phone-hacking scandal in Britain — with News Corp.-owned News of the World’s editors, reporters and managers accused of serious misconduct — got really going in recent weeks. And so did Grant. Broadcasting platform : YouTube Source : BoomTown Discovery Date : 11/07/2011 20:49 Number of articles : 2

Welcome to THG’s Week in Review! Below, our staff takes a look back at the stories, stars and scandals that made these last seven days so memorable. If you don’t already, you can FOLLOW THG on Twitter and Facebook for 24/7/365 news. Day in and day out, let us be your #1 celebrity gossip source! Now, a rundown of the week that was at The Hollywood Gossip : Casey Anthony Verdict Reading In a surprising verdict, Casey Anthony was found not guilty of murder. The jurors were sick about the decision, but feel they upheld the law. Due to time served, the accused child killer is set to be released soon. Some, including Nancy Grace , remain extremely critical of Anthony. There was some non-Casey Anthony news this week, we think. Like … Some Amber Rose nude pics were allegedly sent to Nicki Minaj’s BF. Maria Shriver officially moved to divorce Arnold Schwarzenegger . Chord Overstreet was let go by Glee … but not by Emma Roberts. Bristol Palin opened up about losing her v-card and moral code . Prince William and Kate Middleton hit Canada. We’re next!! Bow Wow admitted fathering a child in a strange web rant. Is Lady Gaga a ticking time bomb plagued by health woes? Obligatory Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie marriage article. Not everybody is in love with Justin Bieber . Snooki Dances With Plant Snooki danced with a plant, wasted, while filming Jersey Shore. Vinny Guadagnino peaced out of the show after an altercation. A Bachelorette staffer was fired for harassing Craig Robinson . Will Emily Maynard be the next Bachelorette after Ashley H.? Either way, Bachelor Pad Season 2 is coming in early August. That may rival Big Brother 13 as the guiltiest TV pleasure. Actualy, the Teen Mom season premiere was up there too. Brock Ritter appeared on Toddlers & Tiaras . Brock is male. Charlie Sheen will soon be starring in a new sitcom . That hot mess Kari Ann Peniche is pregnant . It’s not her husband’s. Weston Cage and Nikki Williams are also expecting and divorcing. Roy Williams’ marriage proposal didn’t work out the way he planned. Prince Harry and Chelsy Davy might be back (still) together after all. Ashley Finestone is rumored to be Michael Phelps’ secret girlfriend. Yasmin Mitri may be the secret, shady girlfriend of Richie Sambora. Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel may be giving things another shot. Ditto Pete Wentz and Michelle Trachtenberg, who dated way back. Alexis Knapp, likely Ryan Phillippe baby mama, became a mama . Natalie Portman revealed her baby boy’s name . Keri Russell is pregnant.

In Project Nim we are invited to observe the tics, tweaks, and expressive details embedded in the story of a behavioral experiment as told by the social scientists who attempted to raise a chimpanzee as a human being. The camera is its own kind of cage, and director James Marsh ( Man on Wire ) frames all of the key players in the quintessentially 1970’s project as captive specimens. Each interview subject sits before the same gray background and is introduced with a showy, investigative pan; a second pan away signals that subject’s release from the narrative. Between pans the players speak to the camera, and their emotions, aversions, contradictions and language choices embellish the oral history with unintended ironies. Very quickly it becomes clear that the life of Nim Chimpsky is foremost a story about the human animal, and human behavior.

As production continues on Peter Jackson’s two-part adaptation of J. R. R. Tolkien’s fantasy novel The Hobbit , the director continues to leak photos of his epic adventure. Last week, he teased audiences with images of Bilbo and Gandalf (played by Martin Freeman and Sir Ian McKellen) and now the New Zealand visionary has unveiled the first still of The Hobbit ‘s bickering dwarf trio of Dori, Ori and Nori.

Catherine Breillat’s movies are so bold and brash in their views of women’s sexuality that no one could accuse her of being subtle. ( Tampon teabag, anyone? ) But Breillat’s latest, The Sleeping Beauty , originally made for French television, is so visually and stylistically delicate that watching it, you can almost forget how forthright, in characteristic Breillat style, it is. I gasped at some of its images, like that of a young princess, dressed in a pink coat trimmed with white fur, crossing the snowy landscape of Lapland on the back of a doe, the Northern Lights shimmering in the vast sky behind her. Personally, I don’t remember the journey from girlhood to womanhood as being all that pretty (or, luckily, all that perilous), but I’ll take it when I see it.

A possible calculus for Kevin James films: The more pathetic his typically schlubby, confidence-challenged character, the bigger the cash-grabbing cojones behind the production. Consider the audacity of calling Zookeeper — James’s latest interminable march through the crudest possible gestures toward character, conceit, and comedy — a movie. This “story” of a middle-aged zookeeper (James) trying to win back his status-obsessed ex (Leslie Bibb) with the help of the cheerful inmates at his animal prison — while his gorgeous, soulful co-worker (Rosario Dawson) looks on — pushes past banality and onto the surreal plane being staked out by bad movies that are bad in a new and genuinely dispiriting way.
