Hmmm . . . Produced by Fox Searchlight, the film is Read more
Even more so than the Zooey Deschanel-Paul Dano pair-up, this movie casting news has me all swoony. Zooey will star alongside Joseph Gordon-Levitt in — what else? — an indie film, this time titled 500 Days of Summer. The romantic comedy has Gordon-Levitt playing a man who "falls hopelessly in love with a woman (Deschanel) who doesn't believe in love." I was never all that into 3rd Rock From Read more

Moviegoers' choices for new releases were limited at the theater this weekend, with Carey Mulligan and Michael Fassbender's Shame one of the few new movies to debut. The film, which focuses on a sex addict (Fassbender), has received positive reviews, and I'm curious about whether the film's NC-17 rating discouraged you from checking it out.
