Promised Land is the new contemporary drama directed by Gus Van Sant (Good Will Hunting, Milk). Matt Damon plays Steve Butler, an ace corporate salesman who is sent along with his partner, Sue Thomason (Frances McDormand), to close a key rural town in his company’s expansion plans. With the town having been hit hard by the economic decline of recent years, the two outsiders see the local citizens as likely to accept their company’s offer, for drilling rights to their properties, as much-needed relief. What seems like an easy job for the duo becomes complicated by the objection of a respected schoolteacher (Hal Holbrook) with support from a grassroots campaign led by another man (John Krasinski), as well as the interest of a local woman (Rosemarie DeWitt). Promised Land explores America at the crossroads where big business and the strength of small-town community converge. The film will be »

Mission: Impossible is one of those malleable concepts that can tackle any content and is only as good as the concept, cast, and director. As a result, the film version of the classic 1960s television series has had its hits and misses, but seems to be getting stronger with each film. J.J. Abrams reinvigorated the franchise with the third installment and then handed it off to Brad Bird, making his live action debut with Ghost Protocol.
It’s been far too long since Ethan Hunt and Imf team were handed a mission after that strong outing so it’s thrilling to see Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol be such a rousing success. The movie is out this week on Blu-ray and DVD and is a Must Have because there’s so much to like about it. Bird, best known for the underrated Iron Giant and The Incredibles, takes everything from those »

It has been a good couple of weeks for Janet McTeer. The 50-year-old British star was nominated for a Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her role in "Albert Nobbs," where she does such a good job playing a woman living as a man that she steals the movie from fellow nominee Glenn Close, doing the same thing in the title role. And this week, she further proves her versatility by starring as a grief-stricken mother alongside Daniel Radcliffe in the gothic horror film "The Woman in Black." Still, two weeks ago, you might not even have heard of Janet McTeer. Which is a shame, since she's a terrific actress who's done Oscar-worthy work in a handful of movies (even though she's just as at home on the stage, where she's won prizes on both sides of the Atlantic, and on television). Here are ten talking points to get you up »
