Michael Douglas is more accustomed to playing dashing leading men and corporate types [url=http://www.nmdboostsaustralia.net/adidas-nmd-c2.html]Adidas NMD C2 Australia[/url] , so he took a deep breath when offered the role of an ornery widower with a second chance for love in the romantic comedy And So It Goes.

The film reunites the Oscar-winning actor with director Rob Reiner, who both worked together on the 1995 movie American President. Douglas also stars opposite Diane Keaton for the first time in his career.

"It was one of those stories that you guess you are finally ready for," Douglas says about the film that opens in US theaters on Friday.

"I am going to be 70 in a couple of months," he adds. "You really don't think you have changed that much but you have."

Douglas plays Oren Little, a curmudgeony realtor near retirement who still grieves for his dead wife and is estranged from his only son.

Oren's self-centered world is upended when he is asked to care for a 9-year-old granddaughter he did not know existed.

"You've met people like him before," says Keaton. "They do exist. There are these guys that are just lost souls and angry, angry, angry, and underneath all of that is just a heart of gold."

For Keaton, 68, the film was an opportunity to work with Douglas and Reiner, who dons a toupee to play a pianist in the film, and the chance to sing.

As Leah, a struggling lounge singer, Keaton performs several songs in the film. She and Oren are neighbors in a waterfront apartment building called Little Shangri-La, along with a young couple about to have a baby and a family with boisterous boys.

"It's not just about a romance," says Keaton. "It's about a small community of people and, of course, it is about Michael's character Oren and his evolution, what happens to him and how he has opened up to his life again by circumstances that would never have happened had he not been thrust in this situation."

When Oren reluctantly takes custody of his granddaughter, played by 10-year-old actress Sterling Jerins, Leah befriends the child and discovers Oren's softer side.

"I knew that there was more there," says Keaton. "That I would find it and get it out of him and that gave me a sense of self again."

In a summer of blockbuster action movies, the film about one more great romance and new beginnings is meant to appeal to baby boomers, but early reviews have been mixed.

The Hollywood Reporter found it predictable but engaging. But fellow trade publication Variety says it "feels like a surrender - to the kind of geriatric burlesque that increasingly seems to be the only game in town for A-list stars of Social Security age".

But for Douglas, it was simply about love.

"At any time, anywhere you can find love," he says.

BEIJING, May 26 (Xinhua) -- A British artist who works under the mononym Fuller has been called a psychogeographer, someone who creates a geographical work driven by emotion and behavior rather than function or form. It is not a label he applies to himself.

"Someone once described my work as a 'cartographic love letter', I liked this description because having a relationship with the place I draw is at the heart of everything I do," Fuller, 36, told Xinhua.

Fuller first came to Beijing in 2014. "It was like being a teenager," he said. "Like when you meet somebody and instantly develop a crush on them."

Call it what you like -- love at first sight, a crush, infatuation -- it is a feeling that almost always peters out, but when it doesn't, very special things can happen.

After that ten-day holiday romance three years ago, Fuller is back to prove his love.

Step one of his plan was to walk the entire length of the sixth-ring road and draw a picture, a picture not only of the geography, architecture and infrastructure he encountered but of his own experiences and emotions. It is a picture of what he sees and what he feels: He calls it #Walkinprogress.

KNOWING THE DANCER FROM THE DANCE

"When I was young, I had a passion to explore," he said. He knew it was a hunger that would not be sated in a lecture hall or library carrel, so at 17 he left school.

For almost a decade, Fuller made time for art alongside his fulltime career. While his jobs were varied, a theme eventually emerged: Fuller likes to tell stories.

In 2005, he began "London Town," a project he would not complete for another 10 years.

"London Town" was hand-drawn in black ink. Archival prints of the piece have been acquired by the British Library and the Museum of London.

It is a graphic rendition of Fuller's relationship with the city, and as much about the artist as the metropolis. In the work, London and Fuller are as inseparable and interdependent as James Joyce and the Dublin of "Ulysses."

Paddington Station is represented by a bear. Five interlocked rings hover over the Olympic Park in Stratford. But at Baker Street tube station, we see no Calabach pipe or deerstalker, instead panicked human figures rush out of the station.

"I had a friend who was killed in the bombing on July 7, 2005," Fuller said, referring to the terrorist attacks that killed 52 people and injured more than 700.

"Terrorism, history, cuddly toys, shared feelings, I documented them all," Fuller said. "From start to finish, it was a decade of my life, but the city is eternal."

A native of London, Fuller reckons he spent a total of 1,500 hours on "London Town," working a day job and conducting "research" -- walking, cycling, and taking pictures -- in his "spare" time.

"It is a picture of the many minds which define the identity of a place in the past, through the present, and into the future," he said.

PERCHED ON THE EDGE OF THE ABYSS

Even locals find it hard to navigate the monumental vastness of Beijing, and Fuller has only the most rudimentary grasp of Chinese.

Many would question the feasibility, sanity even, of his current under. [url=http://www.dallasgoedertjersey.com/]Dallas Goedert Jersey[/url]   [url=http://www.bradleychubbjersey.com/]Bradley Chubb Womens Jersey[/url]   [url=http://www.amaricooperjersey.com/]Amari Cooper Youth Jersey[/url]   [url=http://www.alexsmithjersey.com/]Alex Smith Youth Jersey[/url]   [url=http://www.adamthielenjersey.com/]Adam Thielen Youth Jersey[/url]   [url=http://www.aaronrodgersshop.com/]Aaron Rodgers Youth Jersey[/url]   [url=http://www.vonmillerjerseys.com/]Von Miller Youth Jersey[/url]   [url=http://www.tombradyshop.com/]Tom Brady Kids Jersey[/url]   [url=http://www.toddgurleyiijersey.com/]Todd Gurley II Kids Jersey[/url]   [url=http://www.tjwattjersey.com/]T.
