...Mistress. Novelist and filmmaker Catherine Breillat became notorious with four movies - Romance, Fat Girl, Sex Is Comedy and Anatomy of Hell - that put young women in states of bondage or virginal peril without making them seem victims, and with an attention to sexual realism that verged on hard-core. Breillat suffered a cerebral hemmorage a while back; that hasn't stopped her career but it has slightly softened her tone. An Old Mistress, based on a 19th century novel by Jules-Am?d?e Barbey d'Aurevilly, is the director's first period film; she wants to see what's under those...

At the very least, the merely talented are supposed to spend years struggling until they're discovered. But Seth Rogen--a fat, awkwardly old-man-ish 16-year-old kid in Vancouver--went to his first local audition and got hired on NBC's Freaks and Geeks. And now, having just turned 25, he is the lead in one of this summer's biggest romantic movies. By the end of next year...
