Notorious B.I.G. : They had me going there for awhile what with all the hard work Christopher Wallace's mom put in at the auditions, creepily deciding which actor most reminded her of her dead son.

Movie Preview: Angelina Jolie in Changeling
As is the case with many of this Fall's most anticipated films, Clint Eastwood's Changeling looks to be heavy, dark and emotionally draining. Luckily, Eastwood got Angelina Jolie, no stranger to this type of material, to play the heart-wrenchingly sympathetic protagonist. The movie screened at Cannes and many who have seen it agree that it will have no problem nabbing Oscar nominations. From the trailer, I can certainly see why. In the film, set in the late-1920s, Jolie plays Christine Collins, a mother w

First Teaser Trailer for Notorious B.I.G.'s Biopic
So there's this little film that we forgot all about called Notorious. As everyone probably already knows, it's the life and death story of legendary rapper Notorious B.I.G. This film is definitely going to burst on the scene today in a big way with this teaser trailer. I really don't know what to say or think about this, but I guess it doesn't look too bad? To me, it just seems like another standard biopic about a deceased rapper and nothing more. Don't take that the wrong way, but it just doesn't seem lik
