Good news, everyone! Bullying works! Colin Farrell joined his Ballad of a Small Player co-star Fala Chen for the LA screening and we’re thrilled to report that, after weeks of haranguing him, Colin Farrell finally got the message and came to his senses.
Huzzah!
COLIN FARRELL


The look, it is polished, impeccable and gorgeous. Well done, sir. We’ve still got work to do on the hair, but your hands and face are roughly the same color and we’ll call that a win. Love the subtle check and stripe. Love the red tie. Love that there’s color and contrast and pattern and layering all in this look and the results are fantastic. Even the break on the hem is correct. Make a note, gentlemen.

FALA CHEN IN OSCAR DE LA RENTA





This is a stunner of a fantasy dress. It looks a little stiff and heavy to our eyes, but not enough to detract from the overall dazzle. We might normally consider those shoes, which are gorgeous, to be a little too matchy with the dress, but we think they add to the fantasy vibe of it. Love the earrings. It’s nice to see a modified pony tail on the red carpet. We’ve been calling for them a lot lately.
ABOUT THE MOVIE:
Lord Doyle (Colin Farrell) is laying low in Macau – spending his days and nights on the casino floors, drinking heavily and gambling what little money he has left. Struggling to keep up with his fast-rising debts, he is offered a lifeline by the mysterious Dao Ming (Fala Chen), a casino employee with secrets of her own.
However, in hot pursuit is Cynthia Blithe (Tilda Swinton) – a private investigator ready to confront Doyle with what he is running from. As Doyle tries to climb to salvation, the confines of reality start to close in.
