Awesome Marine Sgt. on Mila Kunis Date: ‘This Was My Dream’

Keeping up with real news — and not, say, what the plot of the next Vin Diesel action film will be — can be quite a drag. Senseless deaths, natural disasters, debt ceilings — it’s enough to make a person want to crawl up into a ball and cry for three days. Which is why the story of Marine Sgt. Scott Moore seemed to strike a chord this week. After all, it’s not every day when a real-life American hero gets to go on a date with Mila Kunis.

REVIEW: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 Guides the Franchise to a Graceful, Moving End

Editor’s note: This review may contain spoilers, particularly for those who haven’t read the books. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 was an in-between moment of a movie, a picture that left many fans of this most unusual movie franchise — not to mention the books they’re based on — feeling adrift and forlorn. By necessity, it was only a story half-told: Adapting the seventh and final book in J.K. Rowling’s series required splitting the story into two parts. Now, with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 , director David Yates and screenwriter Steve Kloves guide the story to a graceful and satisfying end. The movie’s final moments are the equivalent of the half-jubilant, half-mournful thrill you get when you close the cover of a book you’ve savored.

Bob Stephenson on the Road to Making it Big, From Cary Grant to David Fincher

Bob Stephenson may not be what you’d call a household name, but he might be the closest thing we have to a household face. Stephenson has appeared in countless commercials and played Deputy Jimmy Taylor on the CBS drama Jericho and Walter Bailey in the ABC series The Forgotten . He was the shy slob who dated Jennifer Aniston in Friends With Money and the airport security guard who confronted Edward Norton about his vibrating suitcase in Fight Club . (He’s appeared in four David Fincher films, in fact.) And beginning this month, the Oxnard-born actor is about to get a lot more big-screen time with his one-two-three-four box-office punch Larry Crowne , Our Idiot Brother , Hick (with Blake Lively and Alec Baldwin) and Lorene Scafaria’s feature debut Seeking a Friend for the End of the World .
