• Rumor: Dick Grayson To Appear In 'Batman Vs. Superman'

    Before Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises, much of the conversation surrounded Joseph Gordon-Levitt being Robin. Rumors said "Yes," other sources said "No," and in the end the answer was, kind of, both. His name was Robin, but not the Batman sidekick we all remember. Those talks are about to begin again thanks to Latino-Review.…

  • Watch The Oscar-Winning Short Documentary That Inspired 'The Sessions'

    Hilarious, charming and heartwarming, The Sessions is one of the best films of the year. It's the true story of Mark O’Brien (John Hawkes), a California-based journalist relegated to a gurney and iron lung because of disabling polio.

  • 'The Sessions' Trailer - John Hawkes' Oscar-Buzzy Turn As A 38-Year-Old Virgin

    The story of a guy trying hard to get laid for the first time has been told and told again in many an R-rated comedy, but Ben Lewin's The Sessions isn't American Pie or even The 40-Year-Old Virgin. Instead, it's a truth-based drama that's garnering serious Oscar buzz for its star, John Hawkes. The Martha Marcy May…

  • Sundance Fave 'The Surrogate' Dated By Fox Searchlight, Now Called 'Six Sessions'

    We can probably blame the Bruce Willis sci-fi film Surrogates for the fact that Fox Searchlight has changed the title of the John Hawkes-starring Sundance fave The Surrogate. The Willis film was pretty forgettable, but not quite forgettable enough that Searchlight wanted to go with the original title for the film about a sex surrogate…

  • 'Higher Ground' Trailer: Vera Farmiga Makes Her Directorial Debut

    Vera Farmiga first broke into Hollywood during the late '90s, but it probably wasn't until her acclaimed turn in The Departed that she truly caught the public's attention. Since then, she's developed a reputation (well deserved, IMO) as one of the strongest actresses working today. And soon, we might be praising her work behind the…
