Weekend Forecast: Can the Devil Beat James Cameron?

It’s the end of August — a historically stolid climate both outdoors and at the movies. That was never really truer than this weekend, with the Biggest Movie Ever getting some cheese sprinkled on top before a reheat in the multiplex microwave and nothing really blowing anyone’s mind (or pocketbooks) at the art house. But is it worth taking the weekend off entirely? Hardly! Let’s check out the forecast:

BREAKING: I Love You Phillip Morris Actually Getting Released

And this time they mean it! According to a press release fresh into Movieline HQ, Roadside Attractions and Liddell Entertainment have acquired the U.S. and Canadian distribution rights for I Love You Phillip Morris from EuropaCorp with plans to release the Jim Carrey/Ewan McGregor love story on Dec. 3.

Vincent Cassel on Mesrine, Black Swan, and Acting: ‘You Need a Hard-On, Perpetually’

Don’t hate Vincent Cassel for having it all: If it wasn’t enough that he’s one of the biggest matinee idols in France, he’s also married to Monica Bellucci. It’s fitting then, that someone of his stature would play a criminal like Jacques Mesrine in the new filmic diptych Mesrine: Killer Instinct and Mesrine: Public Enemy No. 1 — though the murderous Mesrine did a lot of bad things in 1970s France, he somehow became one of the country’s most popular celebrities. The charming and candid Cassel sat down with Movieline this month to discuss his interpretation of Mesrine, his own love of celebrity, and the pair of English-language films he has on the way: Darren Aronofsky’s Black Swan , and David Cronenberg’s A Dangerous Method.

It’s a whodunit: Which Real World cast member made off with a precious bottle of painkillers? Beyond that, another mystery looms: Do we need any painkillers to deal with the tension of tonight’s Big Brother and Top Chef episodes? Potentially.

REVIEW: Brutal Gangster Murders Story in Mesrine: Killer Instinct

Luridly handsome and resolutely unsympathetic, as played by Vincent Cassel, the title character in the gangster’s greatest hits compilation Mesrine: Killer Instinct is a thug’s thug. It would seem he was so in life as well: A notorious criminal in his native France, Jacques Mesrine died with his leather jacket on (as seen in an ambush depicted in the movie’s opening scene) after a life of unrepentantly violent, sometimes brashly vigilantic misdeeds.
