Or at least he will in an upcoming role.
Variety reports the Oscar winner has signed to star in "The Men Who Stare At Goats," based on Jon Ronson's bestseller. The book is about the U.S. Army's First Earth Battalion, a unit that was formed in 1979 to train soldiers in the use of paranormal powers.
And yes, it's based on real events. The title, in case you're wondering, refers to the notion that you can kill a goat by staring at it.

With a mega-franchise like 'Narnia' you can expect all sorts of tie-ins, including the obligatory action figures. Prince Caspian himself, Ben Barnes, tells Alison that he expects kids to abuse the action figure (don't call it a doll!) based on his own experience when he used to beat up his old He-Man and Transformer toys.

The 61st Cannes film festival opened last night with Fernando Meirelles’ “Blindness” starring Julianne Moore. It will close with Barry Levinson’s “What Just Happened” starring Robert Deniro. However, the big buzz is around “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull” which will be having its world premiere there this Sunday.
So you might be fooled into thinking that Cannes has just become another venue for American movie stars to strut their stuff and show-off their product. Well it is all that…but there are many other great filmmakers who are showing their films this year.

Ok, so after getting so many comments on the post Alison made last year about the set design on the film "P.S. I Love You" (click on the photo if you would like to read it.) I've FINALLY got the answer to the question so many of you have been asking...
Just where did the set designer get that great duvet and set of linens from? Well after doing some research and tracking down set designer Alyssa Winter, I have got that answer for you...

Looks like Mr. Michael Moore is going to follow up his indictment of the U.S. health care system "Sicko" with a follow-up to 2004's "Fahrenheit 9/11."
That film, a scathing critique of the Bush Administration, is the only documentary to ever earn more than $100 million at the box office. Moore's new project plans to examine America's standing in the world nearly seven years after Sept. 11., and with President Bush winding down his second and final term in the Oval Office.

I had some spare time this week, so I took the opportunity to go downtown to my favorite New York City cinema: Film Forum. There is always something screening there that I want to see…either a documentary that I missed, or a new obscure work of art from an independent filmmaker and they often have great retrospectives.
This time, I went to catch a couple of Jean-Luc Godard’s works from the early 60s.
