Correction on ‘Dr Parnassus’ movie release date

Sorry, apparently I was misinformed about the release date of the movie. The October 16th date is the UK release but as of today, there's no official confirmation who'll distribute it in the US and when.

Hollywood Casting News: Flixchatter highlights

When I was little, every time the inevitable "what do you want to be when you grow up?" question came up, I always answered with all the tenacity a teeny girl I could muster: a screenwriter. A rather unusual reply for a wee kid barely able to scribble a decent sentence, let alone a paragraph. …

Ensemble Cast in Movies – Valentine’s Day

I stumbled upon this upcoming movie on IMDB the other day, and it kind of reminded me of Love, Actually (which was set in London around Christmas time) when I read the plot: Intertwining couples and singles in Los Angeles break-up and make-up based on the pressures and expectations of Valentine's Day. Garry Marshall, the director …
