The first few days of the Cannes Film Festival have been marked by surprises -- whether in the shifting national identity of movies, or peace-making efforts between towering directors -- and parties that defy the rain.

Based on an early wave of rapturous tweets and reviews, it appears the 2013 Cannes Film Festival has its first truly great film: Joel and Ethan Coen's...

"Inside Llewyn Davis" is set for release in December of this year, but most film fans want the film to come out right now. The film's new red-band tra...

He's tackling counter-culture all over the U.S.! According to Showblitz, "Country Strong" star Garrett Hedlund is in negotiations to join Justin T...

Nicolas Cage has a strange habit of showing up in odd places -- and we're not talking about some of his recent movie choices, though "Drive Angry" was...
