It's been a busy couple of weeks in the entertainment scene. Actor Nick Stahl went from being a missing person, to a found person, to a new entrant into drug rehab. Also, Marvel's The Avengers continues to rampage through the record books as it goes well over the one-billion-dollar mark worldwide. But most importantly, The Cannes Film Festival in France is well underway and giving us a glimpse into some potential Oscar highlights. It was just last year when Best Picture winner The Artist captivated audiences at the international festival and went on to achieve a remarkable amount of success from the Academy.
Cannes kicked off on May 16th (and runs through May 27th) with the opening film Moonrise Kingdom from acclaimed director Wes Anderson. The feature has officially premiered to what can only be described as glaring reviews (currently 96% on Rotten Tomatoes). Some other notable Official Selection pictures worth keeping an eye on are Killing Them Softly (starring Brad Pitt), Lawless (starring Tom Hardy), Mud (starring Matthew McConaughey), and The Paperboy (from director Lee Daniels).
