This fall’s hit baseball drama Moneyball stars Brad Pitt as a beleaguered Oakland A’s general manager who turns his team around with a formula designed for quality optimization. Ironically, director Bennett Miller employed a similar strategy when adapting Moneyball , the long-gestating project based on Michael Lewis’s book Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game for the screen.

There’s always been a soft spot in my heart for grand, uncompromising, crazy-eyed acts of directorial ambition/folly — films like Southland Tales and The Fountain , Heaven’s Gate and One From The Heart — that are either disaster or genius depending on who you talk to but that could never be described as restrained. Margaret , playwright Kenneth Lonergan’s second turn as a director after 2000’s very good You Can Count on Me , joins these titles after spending years in post-production purgatory as Lonergan reportedly struggled over a final cut, following lawsuits and studio battles and delays upon delays. (Among those listed in the opening credits are two people who’ve passed away since production began, executive producer Anthony Minghella and producer Sydney Pollack.)

If you’ve been writing twisted Twilight fan fiction in which Alice Cullen (Ashley Greene) and Emmett Cullen (Kellan Lutz) make out in a prep school library, you’re in luck. While Greene and Lutz don’t make the incestuous connection in Breaking Dawn – Part 1 (that we know of), they do lock lips as new, unrelated characters in the upcoming drama A Warrior’s Heart .

“We start shooting in October. Doris Kearns Goodwin’s book Team Of Rivals is much too big a book to be a movie, so the Lincoln story only takes place in the last few months of his Presidency and life. I was interested in how he ended the war through all the efforts of his generals… but more importantly how he passed the 13th Amendment into constitutional law. The Emancipation Proclamation was a war powers act and could have been struck down by any court after the war ended… But what permanently ended slavery was the very close vote in the House of Representatives over the 13th Amendment — that story I’m excited to tell.” Fine, but who will pay for the 3-D glasses?

The world needs more cancer comedies. But it may not need more cancer comedies like 50/50 . It’s not that 50/50 is insensitive or dull or unfunny — it sidesteps all those potential flaws with the delicacy of the most precise surgeon. Then again, the picture’s delicacy may be misplaced: Directed by Jonathan Levine (who, in 2008, brought us The Wackness ) and written by Will Reiser, 50/50 never risks offending or shocking us as far as the cancer angle goes, but it does slot in some pretty ho-hum non-cancer-related crudeness wherever it can. When cancer-stricken Adam, played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt, shaves his head with electric clippers belonging to his best friend, Kyle (Seth Rogen), you don’t have to guess where those clippers have been — the movie tells you.

This week’s edition of Oscar Index made the point of allowing for Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close as an awards contender on paper, while withholding any specific hype until we’d all seen at least a trailer. Hours later, that trailer arrived. But even more interesting than the footage therein? How about the test-screening gossip trickling out around Stephen Daldry’s magic-realist 9/11 tearjerker? [Warning: Spoilers ahead.]

There was an inkling around town that Fantastic Fest’s secret screening Wednesday would turn out to be Paranormal Activity 3 , what with the viral VHS tapes surfacing in Austin this week and the seemingly perfect timing for the horror sequel, which hits theaters nationwide on Oct. 21. By the time the surprise world premiere was confirmed to a packed audience at midnight on Wednesday, it was a surprise many folks saw coming. So how did Paranormal Activity 3 measure up to its predecessors — and what does it mean that it doesn’t match up at all with its recent trailer ?
