Big week for Robert Redford.  As his Sundance Film Festivalis underway, we get a look at his upcoming conspiracy film surrounding the Abraham Lincoln assassination.  Robin Wright stars as Mary Surratt, a woman charged as being a co-conspirator in the Presidents murder.  The rest of the cast includes James McAvoy, Tom Wilkinson, Kevin Kline, Evan Rachel Wood, Stephen Root, Justin Long, Jonathan Groff and Danny Huston.  The Conspirator opens in April.

Alejandro González Iñárritu’s Biutiful is in limited release this week.  Fresh off of its two Oscar nominations (Foreign Language Film, Lead Actor – Javier Bardem), you can chalk this one up as the film to see this weekend if you are so lucky to have it playing near you.  Bardem won Best Actor at the Cannes Film Festival last year for his dark performance as a family man who can read the minds of the deceased.

 It seems we have a lot of James Franco fans on our site, and who can blame them?  He is becoming more and more fascinating as he continues to take on all sorts of tough projects.  An absolute renaissance man.

   Aside from Franco – who is nominated for Lead Actor and is co-hosting the 83rd Academy Awards with Anne Hathaway – I am an ENORMOUS fan of Jon Stewart and his television show.  Check out how the former Oscar host advises the newbie.
