I have a little bit of Western fever after True Grit, so I may be more excited than usual for the Meek's Cutoff trailer, starring Michelle Williams. She plays Emily Tetherow, a woman whose wagon train gets lost as they attempt to take a shortcut over the Cascade Mountains in the 1840s. Conditions become harsher and more hostile, forcing the group to decide whether to trust the natives for help. Read more

This is definitely a slice of a quirky indie, with Read more

Why does Paul Dano always have to play so tortured? That's the question I'm asking myself after watching this trailer for The Good Heart. Dano stars as Lucas, a suicidal homeless guy who befriends an older man named Jacques (Brian Cox) while in the hospital. Jacques has heart problems due to his hard-living ways and takes Lucas on as a mentee, teaching him how to run his bar for the day when he's Read more

Katie Holmes left Long Island, where she had been working on The Romantics and headed into NYC for a weekend with Suri.
