Trippy Trailer For The Loneliest Planet Starring Gael Garcia Bernal Looks Beautiful And Haunting

The FX network has landed a big one: Billy Crystal, who will star in a scripted series called "The Comedians" that begins filming this summer.

Contrary to the actor's bold claims from last year, it looks like Shia LaBeouf will not be showing off his manhood in Lars von Trier's Nymphomaniac. A.V. Club reports that there will still be real on-screen sex in the film, but it will be performed by body doubles, and digitally merged with the simulated bumpin' uglies of the name actors, which also includes Uma Thurman, Stellan Skarsgard, Charlotte Gainsbourg and Udo Kier. To clarify, producer Louise Vesth explained that "above the waist it will be the star and the below the waist it will be the doubles." Continue reading…

"Before Midnight" — The final scene of 2004's "Before Sunset" was so romantic it drove moviegoers crazy — happily crazy — especially because it was so tantalizingly ambiguous. Jesse and Celine, that appealing (and extremely talkative) couple played by Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy, who had fallen in love in the 1995 "Before Sunrise," had reunited at last. In the gorgeous afternoon light of Paris, no less. But we didn't know what would happen next. Nine years later, we have our answer, and it was sure worth the wait. "Before Midnight," the third movie in the Richard Linklater series, is not only as good as the first two, it's arguably better, tackling weightier, trickier issues with wit, humor and breathtaking directness. The setting is still gorgeous — it's a summer vacation in Greece. (Will these two ever venture to an ugly locale?) But the rest is different. Delpy gives Celine a new hardness here, an edge that we saw only a bit in the previous film. And Hawke is extremely effective as a man who adores his partner but is increasingly frustrated with her. It all comes to a head in a humdinger of a fight — just Jesse and Celine in a hotel room, plus a bottle of wine that doesn't get drunk. It gets poured, though, and you'll be so frazzled, you'll want to reach through the screen and chug it down yourself. Rated R for sexual content/nudity and language. 109 minutes. Three and a half stars out of four.
