Those of you who have been around for awhile will know that every year I indulge my movie geek instincts and wonder what films I wish Natalie had been in.

My reasoning tends to vary from film to film. Some it’s because of the role, others it’s the challenge of the part, some it’s just because I love the film so much and wish Natalie was in it even if there wasn’t a great part for her.

Hit the jump to check out my first batch of picks and please share your own dream casting in the comments section. Please remember that these are only films that I saw between last years list and now.

So, I had this idea for Rachel and I to review Hesher together, to make it a bit more fun and conversational. We gave it a go and I definitely enjoyed it a lot more than when I do it on my own, so hopefully we can do this again when Natalie starts, you know, making films again.

I then wanted a title for this feature and was toying around with He Said, She Said…but that’s boring, so instead I came up with something…not boring 😀

Our mostly non-spoiler Hesher thoughts are after the jump.

On the heels of Rachel’s review of Your Highness, below are my own thoughts of the film. Rachel and I are normally on the same page when it comes to Natalie’s films, and I wish I could say that this time would be different, but once again I’m more in agreement than not.

On that note, hit the jump for my thoughts.

Dazza asked me to post my thoughts on Your Highness, so if you don’t mind my incoherent ramblings, here goes. Most people who frequent the forum probably know I was looking forward to this one. With David Gordon Green, Danny McBride and the great leads on board, how could it go wrong? Even after all of the terrible reviews poured in, I still tried to keep an open mind.

Last week we posted Amo’s confectionery tribute to Natalie. I promised to give the answers at a later point and, look at us, here we are at that later point. At last.

Carlotto said he identified 4 of the photos but didn’t give answers, so it’s safe to say he was lying. I think I would have gotten 4, without the cheat sheet, and nobody is going to get them all. Except Amo.

Anyway, the answers are after the jump. Check out the initial post if you want to try and see how many you can get before reading the answers.

This is Natalie and A baby. Specifically, the baby of Natalie's character in The Other Woman/Love And Other Impossible Pursuits. Apparently, the photo is circulating as the real deal and…

Sanjiro's final Portmania update will land (with a thud? with a splash? with a hallelujah?) later today, but I felt like we needed to have a birthday post up on…

It's Kristoffer's birthday today and I wanted to give you guys the platform to kiss his ass because without his ones and zeroes there probably wouldn't be a natalieportman.com to…
