Mischa Barton Nude In CLOSING THE RING Bringing Back Pleasant Memories Of FIRE WALK WITH ME

Nothing can beat David Lynch’s 1992 masterpiece Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me staring Sheryl Lee as Laura Palmer, but Mischa Barton looks scared and haunted enough in her nude stills from Closing The Ring (which sparked little attention in last year’s UK and Canadian release) that I cried a nostalgic tear as the last moments of Laura Palmer’s tragic life floated through my mind. Has that ever happened to you?  If not, you’re missing out.

Now I will confess the two films really have nothing in common.  Here’s a quick synopsis of Mischa’s new movie from ropeofsilicon.com: “When a U.S. B-17 crashes near Belfast, a dying gunner asks a local to return his ring to his girlfriend in America. Half a century later, a man finds the ring, learns its history and tracks down the girlfriend. Shirley MacLaine and Mischa Barton play the woman in 1993 and 1943, respectively.”

That sounds like pure crap, unlike Fire Walk With Me.  But, whatever, at least Shirley MacLaine will not reveal any nudity.  Closing the Ring is due to release this June in the US and will also star Christopher Plummer, Brenda Fricker, Pete Postlethwaite, and Neve Campbell.
