...suffered for the nose, but not because of it. Five years ago, Wilson, 33, became known as one of the most original young writers in movies. The film was Bottle Rocket, a sharp-as-a-tack crime comedy he co-wrote with director Wes Anderson. Their low-budget breakthrough, starring Wilson and his two brothers, Luke, 30, and Andrew, 37, earned some devoted fans and critics, but it didn't set any fires at the box office. Since then, however, Owen has established his unique profile with supporting roles in big popcorn hits like 1998's Armageddon and last year...
...middle brother gets his first shot at a showy leading role in Behind Enemy Lines, a rah-rah war movie co-starring Gene Hackman. Wilson again appears with Hackman in The Royal Tenenbaums, opening Dec. 14. The whip-smart comedy about a family of geniuses, the third collaboration between Anderson and Wilson, co-stars Gwyneth Paltrow, Ben Stiller and brother Luke as Hackman's dysfunctional brood...

...most extreme film of the bunch. Co-directed by the novelist Virginie Despentes and Coralie Trinh Thi, who has worked in the French porn industry, it employs real hard-core scenes, many of them brutal, to illustrate its story of two gals on the run. Manu (Raffaela Anderson) is a porn star, Nadine (Karen Bach) a hooker with a short fuse. Each woman kills a man, and the two go on a shooting and screwing spree across the arid French landscape. Yet for all its graphic excesses, or because of them, Baise-moi is a serious and original work...
