...strategy is to calm viewers with humor and the character’s own confusion, before shocking them with a gruesome death. Gyllenhaal has wonderful on-screen chemistry with co-stars Robert Downey Jr., who plays a crime reporter for the San Francisco Chronicle, and Mark Ruffalo, who plays a detective. Their repartee creates a deceptively funny film. The comedy lulls the audience into a false sense of security, one Fincher seems set on destroying. The shock of seeing a stabbing is heightened with the knowledge that you were chuckling at witty dialogue up until the moment it happened...
...Documentaries get starry: Some of the hottest documentaries at the film festival employed actors to tell their tales: the opening-night movie, Chicago 10, relies on a voice cast including Nick Nolte, Mark Ruffalo and Liev Schreiber in animated scenes of the trial of anti-war demonstrators from the 1968 Democratic National Convention; Woody Harrelson and Mariel Hemingway read letters and journals in Nanking, about the Japanese occupation of the Chinese city in 1937; Strange Culture features Tilda Swinton and other actors dramatizing events that lead to the arrest of a University of Buffalo professor on suspicion of bioterrorism...
...Dean of the Kennedy School of Government and Scott M. Black Professor of Political Economy, hosted a question and answer forum with several members of the production team: screenwriter and director Steven Zaillian, executive producer David Thwaites, and producers Mike Medavoy and Arnold Messer.

The four speakers eagerly expressed their pride in the film, which Medavoy calls their “labor of love.” The film was never intended to be a remake of Robert Rossen?...
...during my English major days and in one previous staging I've seen. But I was let down by this slack, erratically acted Broadway production, which was (again) unaccountably hailed by the critics. I'll buy Zoe Wanamaker as the strong-willed matriarch, but the overrated Mark Ruffalo is simply grating as the gigolo next door, and the estimable Ben Gazzara doesn't seem to have the energy to make much out of the Marxist grandpa. But expect to see at least some of them onstage on Tony night...
...editorial position at Poise magazine with her former nemesis as her right-hand woman. This Jenna (“Alias” star Jennifer Garner) is her adolescent worst nightmare—a cheating, backstabbing, lying bitch. It takes the help of her old chum Matt (Mark Ruffalo), who has morphed from the loser boy-next-door to a tanned, buff, hot-but-doesn’t-know-it in that aw-shucks way photographer, to set things right. Garner’s performance may lend itself to a Julia Roberts reference or two—both have the full...
