Entertainment hourly.
In perhaps the most convincing anti-cloning argument I've ever seen, Warner Brothers has just released the trailer for Splice, a horror film which had its debut at Sundance this year. Adrien Brody and Sarah Polley star as two geneticists who toy with DNA and scientifically birth what can only be described as part Coneheads baby, part Gollum. I'm talking major heebie-jeebie factor, people. The Read more
The glamour continued at the Venice Film Festival earlier today with Diane Kruger and a very handsome-looking Jared Leto stepping out for a photo call to support their film Mr. Nobody. The were decked out later in the afternoon as well for a premiere alongside costars Sarah Polley and Linh Dan Pham. A few of the cinema event's big names, like George Clooney and Matt Damon, have already moved on Read more
Even the dark strike cloud hovering over Hollywood can't dampen the annual awards season excitement about certain projects and actors (Juno! Daniel Day-Lewis! Atonement!). Yet, there's one woman enjoying an equally exciting year who has remained characteristically low-key about it all: Sarah Polley. Polley has been acting for years, from the TV series Road to Avonlea to off-beat films like Read more

Based on the beloved series by Beverly Cleary, Fox 2000 has greenlit a film adaptation titled simply Ramona.

According to Hollywood Reporter: Nobody is described as a multilayered love story inspired by the "butterfly effect," the Read more
I went into the Away From Her movie screening with a stack of tissues, fully prepared to bawl my eyes out over this story about a marriage being tested by Alzheimer's. Yet the sobfest never happened. The story is mostly sad, it's true, but it is also realistically told and casts an unapologetic light on each character. So while there is great sympathy for them, the movie never cycles through Read more
Already playing in select theaters, Away From Her has been slowly gaining buzz from its screenings at various film festivals for its flawless performances and beautiful direction. Directed by first-timer Sarah Polley, the movie tells a poignant tale of a long-term marriage being tested by Alzheimer's. This movie has been repeatedly popping up in my day-to-day conversations and I keep seeing rave Read more
The trailer for Take This Waltz has "precious indie movie" written all over it, right down to the fact that the preview gives us little in the way of plot. Instead, we glean what we can from watching Michelle Williams lead a comfortable married life with Seth Rogen, until she's enticed by a handsome new guy (played by Luke Kirby). Though I wish this preview had more dialogue, I'm already Read more
