Synecdoche, New York, is a haunting film. In the weeks since I saw it, I'm not sure a day has gone by that I haven't thought about it. It's also a humongous, confusing mess.

Michelle Williams smiled big at a screening of her new movie
Synecdoche, New York in, where else, NYC last night. The screenwriter, director, producer for the film Charlie Kaufman posed next to his stars Michelle and Catherine Keener. Afterward, the group was off to the after party where Michelle and Spike Jonze
held hands and cuddled close while chatting with friends, even sneaking a few kisses on their way out.
Charlie Kaufman's directorial debut,
Synecdoche, New York, has been generating
positive buzz ever since it premiered at
Cannes this year. Time Magazine calls it "
A miracle movie," while Variety claims it is "a
wildly ambitious and gravely serious contemplation of life. The picture exerts power and artistic mystery."
An American Crime, which premieres tonight on Showtime, is certainly not going to be an easy film to watch. Even the trailer gives me the creeps. But that may be a credit to the performances in the film, which stars a handful of my favorite actors: Ellen Page, Catherine Keener, James Franco, and Bradley Whitford.
So Steve Coogan stars in the American comedy film
Hamlet 2, as a high school drama teacher looking to motivate his students and save his department by writing a sequel to Shakespeare's "Hamlet". A sequel?! To Hamlet?!
Though this be madness, yet there is method in 't.
Variety brings us news of a little
something called Hamlet 2 (yes, as in a sequel to Shakespeare's Hamlet), a film starring Steve Coogan and Catherine Keener. The project will be the first produced by Eric Eisner's (son of former Disney chief Michael Eisner) production company L+E.

From
Brad and Angie to
Matt and Ben, the Toronto Film Festival brought out all the big names this weekend - and here are some more of the pretty little faces. Quite the marquee of names descending on the Canadian city - there are some lucky folks who probably got some amazing
celebrity sightings out of it. Clive is always a treat while Cate and Kate both looked adorable in pink (and loving Bosworth's shoes).
Oh, Sean Penn. I loved him in Mystic River so very much — that was a great career move. And now he's gone and directed an adaptation of Jon Krakauer's
Into the Wild and it's scheduled to open September 21.
