Newly-single Leonardo DiCaprio floats Blake Lively’s boat in Cannes
Posted By Marcie on May 17th, 2011
Everyone knows Leo is quite the Lothario when it comes to charming ladies on boats - just ask Kate Winslet.
And today the newly-single Titanic star wasted no time wooing Gossip Girl Blake Lively aboard a yacht in the French Riviera.
The flighty pair put on a very affectionate display, embracing and laughing together. Meanwhile, very close by, Leo’s ex Bar Refaeli made another solo red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival.

Keeping Britain’s special effects dream alive
Posted By Marcie on May 14th, 2011
There is a scene in the movie Inception where James Cobb, played by Leonardo DiCaprio, goes on a recruiting mission.
He is looking for an “architect” - someone who can design dreams.
The job is not just about making money, he says, but “the chance to build cathedrals, entire cities, things that never existed. Things that couldn’t exist in the real world.”
It is an enticing pitch, and one that could be applied to another, more attainable profession.
Special effects post-production is the business of creating on film, things that were not there when the camera rolled.
When Iron Man dons his suit, or the Batmobile turns into the Batbike, you are watching this craft in action.
But what romantics chalk-up to “movie magic” is often the product of many hundreds of people, endlessly pushing pixels around computer screens.
That makes it an industry, and one in which the UK is a world leader.
*Note* - BBC made an error Leo’s name in Inception is Dominic not James.
