As a city with so much personality and penchant for possibility, it's no surprise that the follow-up to Paris, Je t'aime heads to New York. New York, I Love You is a tale of the connections and personal missteps that occur every single day in the city that never sleeps. It plays out like a movie version of a song mash-up: some story lines are linear and independent of the rest while other characters wander in and out of each other's lives.

After weeks upon weeks of speculation and controversy — concerning both Bob Dylan's outrage over the film and Sienna Miller behaving like a child in general — Factory Girl is finally set to open nationwide this Friday, February 9. Sienna Miller plays Edie Sedgwick, muse to artist Andy Warhol (played by Guy Pearce) during the Factory's heyday in the 1960s.
I'm a little torn on this one; the costumes, the freewheeling '60s vibe, and Pearce's performance look really spot-on.
