Eva Mendes premieres "Last Night" during the TFF Festival

We looked on our desktop and realized we totally missed putting up our TFF coverage of the “Last Night” premiere.  This omission may have something to do with our having seen a screener copy of the flick already.  Let’s just say we were less than impressed with Kiera Knightley’s performance.  It’s as if she phoned it in.  And although Guillame Canet serves up the sexual allure the French are known to exude, the chemistry between him and Knightley was tepid – at best.  Even Knightley’s smile seemed forced.  On the flip side, we can earnestly say that Cuban bombshell Eva Mendes truly delivers the goods.  Girl can work some sex appeal seemingly effortlessly.  And her seduction of Sam Worthington’s character is totally official.

We were truly tickled that Mendes wore red to the premiere.  It’s always refreshing to have color for step-and-repeat photo opt.  Muchas gracias bella!

And the red stood out even more given that absent from the films stars were Knightley, Worthington and Canet.   Perhaps it had something to do with their performances scheduling conflicts.

Notable attendees:  The Brady Bunch’s Eve Plum, Massy Tadjedin, Elettra Wiedeman, Nina Dobrev, Hilary Rhoda, Nora Zehetner, Stephanie Romanov and some hottie in a leather jacket.
