13 Hollywood Loopers
Columbia Pictures
The visual effects department had to do a pretty bang-up job to make Joseph Gordon-Levitt look even remotely similar to a young yippee ki-yaying mother-f---er Bruce Willis in Rian Johnson's time-hopping "Looper," but since Hollywood's baddest, baldest ass-kicker was blessed with three daughters and no sons in real life, there wasn't much of a choice. Sure, all that pain and suffering ultimately paid off, but there are some people who've got it way, way easier. Get More »

Poetic Justice Is Served in Insightful 'Liberal Arts'
IFC Films
Actor Josh Radnor is mostly known as hopeless romantic Ted Mosby on the hit show, "How I Met Your Mother," though he garnered much more deserved attention for his first feature, "HappyThankYou-MorePlease" (not a typo, I promise), which won the Audience Award for Drama at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival. The central theme in "HTYMP" is the hardships of falling in love as an adult. Life would certainly be so much more pleasant if finding "the one" was as easy as movies make it seem to be, no?

Elizabeth Olsen Brings Young Blood to 'Oldboy'

Unlike many young ingénues, whose roles are as much about hair and makeup as substance, Elizabeth Olsen's roles in spooky thrillers "Martha Marcy May Marlene" and the upcoming "Silent House," make it clear that the actress isn't just another pretty face; she's a creeper too.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Olsen will continue her work in the "freaking the bejesus out of audiences genre" with a possible starring role in Spike Lee's joint/adaptation of South Korean director Park Chan-wook's psychological thriller "Oldboy."
The film tells the story of a kidnapped businessman, played by Josh Brolin, who is unexpectedly released by his captors after fifteen years, only to find himself caught in a web of manipulation and torture. Get More »

Tom Felton Getting Ghostly in 'Therese Raquin' with Elizabeth Olsen

We've been wondering who the next "Harry Potter" alum would be to shoot out of the gates after Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson.
It looks like Tom Felton, who got his big break playing the terminally creepy Draco Malfoy, will be next in line, or it could be if he signs up for a leading role in "'Therese Raquin."
If he does join the production, Felton will be taking a goth-y period piece tip from his former costar Radcliffe, whose new movie "The Woman in Black" is doing well at the box office. "Raquin," which is based on the novel by Emile Zola, is a drama set in the 19th century about love, murder and ghosts, all things that Felton would feel right at home with after his years at Slytherin. Elizabeth Olsen and Glenn Close were first linked to the project last November. Get More »
