People are beginning to leave Cannes. Perhaps it's because they don't want to catch germs from Only God Forgives
Inside the Lumière theatre, a spectator is coughing. The coughing on one side sparks a response in the other and before long everyone appears to be at it and the whole place sounds like New Year's Eve at the TB sanatorium. I seem to remember the same thing happening last year; it's like some weird Cannes tradition. By this point of the festival, the delegates are breaking down.
Already the first cardboard boxes have appeared in the marche, the first sign that the sellers are packing up and moving on. The Salle Buñuel at the top of the Palais is more than half-empty for the late morning screening. It gives the place a morbid air. Logic tells me that these absentees can all be accounted for. They are off riding trains, »

Fruitvale Station, 2013.
Written and Directed by Ryan Coogler.
Starring Michael B. Jordan, Kevin Durand, Chad Michael Murray, Melonie Diaz and Octavia Spencer.
Synopsis:
The true story of Oscar, a 22-year-old Bay Area resident, who crosses paths with friends, enemies, family, and strangers on the last day of 2008.
Ryan Coogler's directorial debut was a favourite at the Sundance Festival, and deservedly so. It is a stunning piece of narrative that tells the true story of Oscar Grant III (Michael B. Jordan), a 22-year-old Bay Area resident of San Francisco, and his final New Year's Eve.
The film's opening scene is shot on a phone and shows a group of unidentified men being detained by police officers on a station platform. The scene is brutal, shocking and nothing we haven't seen or read about before.
Next we see Oscar in his room with girlfriend Sophina (Melonie Diaz). His amorous advances come to nothing, »

★★★★★ Based on the real-life 2009 shooting of Oscar Grant in Oakland, California, Ryan Coogler's feature debut Fruitvale Station (2013) is an uncompromising, original and movingly humane piece of American political cinema. Michael B. Jordan plays Oscar, who, on New Year's Eve, has already committed himself to fulfilling his annual resolutions a day in advance. Oscar is going to quit dealing drugs, be more faithful to girlfriend and mother of his child Sophina (Melonie Diaz), be a better father to his daughter, be a kinder son to his doting mother, Wanda (Octavia Spencer), and is going to take his girl out to see the Bay Area fireworks.
This day-in-the-life tale thus follows Oscar as he performs his various chores; picking up crabs for his grandma's gumbo, dropping his girlfriend at work and his daughter, Tatiana (Ariana Neal), at preschool. But not all is well in Oscar's world. His sister needs a loan on the rent, »

The shooting of Oscar Grant by a Us transit cop in 2009 is explored in this surefooted debut feature from Ryan Coogler
Ryan Coogler's quietly gripping debut feature rolls into Cannes to tell us the backstory of Oscar Grant, a 22-year-old African-American man shot dead by a transit cop on the first day of 2009. In the ensuing years Grant has been filed away as another statistic, an old familiar tale amid thousands of others. Yet Fruitvale Station made a noise at Sundance, was snapped up by the Weinsteins and played out to roaring approval here in the Un Certain Regard section. One has the sense of a man being slowly, surely written back into being.
Coogler chooses to open with phone footage of the actual incident at the Fruitvale train station in Oakland, California. From here, however, the film winds back. It gives us the last 24 hours in Oscar's life, »

What I'm about to write could be considered a spoiler for Fruitvale Station, but I will tell you I knew these details going in and it didn't spoil the film for me in the least. That said, the reason I'm posting this is to offer a companion piece to my review of the film, in which I reference the events described below, but it wasn't the right place or time to go into further detail. As for the story that inspired the film, in the early morning hours of January 1, 2009, a group of friends were returning home from celebrating New Year's Eve in San Francisco on the Bay Area Rapid Transit (Bart) system. Among that group of friends was 22-year-old Oscar Grant who got into an altercation aboard the train resulting in the Bart police being called to the Fruitvale Station where the train had just stopped.

Never mind "if you like it, put a ring on it." If you like it, buy her a $5 million home in her mother's name so that your new wife-of-60 years-your-junior has a roof over her head when you go off to the big Playboy Mansion in the sky.
Hugh Hefner, 86, paid $5 million for a 5,900-square-foot house in the Hollywood Hills about a month ago. Records show that the title was put in the name of Lee Lovitt, who is Crystal Harris' mother. As far as mothers-in-law go, this one gushes about Hef all the time. When he married Crystal last New Year's eve, Lovitt, who used to run a pub in West Bromwich, England, called Hef “wonderful” and described his wedding to her then-26-year-old daughter “amazing." We wished them well then, and we wish them well now.
Reports say that Hef and Crystal may not move into the new place, »

If anyone's okay with Crystal Hefner being married to a man three times her age, it's her parents. Her mom and dad are not just supportive of her relationship with Playboy mogul Hugh Hefner, they also enjoy the chance to reap the benefits of her lavish life. "My parents come up here pretty much every weekend," Crystal, 26, told People on Thursday at the Playboy Mansion, just before her husband, 87, announced Raquel Pomplun as 2013's Playmate of the Year. "Hef's friends were joking with them. They were like, 'Did you guys move in?' They're here, outside in the tent. They love it. »

Can you tell that The Weinstein Company is getting ready for Cannes? In the past week they've dropped trailers for "The Butler" and "August: Osage County" and that's all in preparation of a big Cannes presentation for press following last year's unveiling of "Django Unchained," "The Master" and "Silver Linings Playbook." What will be there? Well, that's a Weinstein secret for now, but they'll have plenty to celebrate in the festival as Sundance hit "Fruitvale Station" will unspool for international crowds. The first trailer is here and it's easy to see why this took the Grand Jury Prize and Dramatic Audience Award in Park City and landed director Ryan Coogler on our On The Rise: 12 Directors To Watch In 2013 list and star Michael B. Jordan on our 15 Breakout Artists To Watch From The 2013 Sundance Film Festival. Taking place over New Year's Eve 2008, the film tells the tragic, heartbreaking true story »

So great that Brandi Glanville and her ex-husband are playing nice! No, not Eddie Cibrian, but Darin Harvey, the guy she drunkenly faux-married in Las Vegas on New Year's Eve 2012! The duo were spotted together doing some shopping in West Hollywood Monday, looking very couple-y. (Don't think that butt grab went unnoticed!) But don't get too hopeful that this will take off. Brandi and Darin are just friends. Plus, a source tells E! News Darin was "just joking around to get his picture taken." Silly paparazzi fall for everything! And when this Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star does find true love, she won't be saying "I do"—drunkenly or »

Zac Efron has said he is eternally grateful to have starred in High School Musical.
The actor revealed to Flaunt that he has nothing but fond memories of the Disney film series, which launched his career.
"Here's the one thing about High School Musical that a lot of people forget or don't realise. It affected a lot of people; its resonance, culturally, was massive," Efron said. "At the same time, it was in every sense of it, the luckiest break in the world."
He went on to comment: "The wrong thing to do - and that's what all these interviews now are trying to get me to say - is to turn on it, to like s**t on it, call it crap. But that's insane.
"There are hundreds of people who began doing one thing when they were younger, who go on to develop and refine and shape their vision, »

Iron Man 3 (12A)
(Shane Black, 2013, Us) Robert Downey Jr, Ben Kingsley, Guy Pearce, Gwyneth Paltrow, Don Cheadle, Rebecca Hall. 130 mins
Fears of post-Avengers superhero blowout fatigue are briskly swept away by Marvel's latest epic, whose snappy, poppy script packs in twists and quips between the bludgeoning (but technically seamless) action. It's Kingsley's Bin Laden-esque Mandarin and Pearce's creepy scientist who are out to de-swagger Tony Stark this time round, but there are surprises in store for everyone.
The Look Of Love (18)
(Michael Winterbottom, 2013, UK) Steve Coogan, Anna Friel, Imogen Poots, Tamsin Egerton. 101 mins
Despite the Soho excess, the retro kitsch, the racy subject matter and the great cast, this biopic of Britain's pornographer-in-chief Paul Raymond somehow never feels like it's telling the full story. »
