...group N.E.R.D., who have produced and written songs for such artists as Justin Timberlake—co-founded Star Trak in 2002. In addition to putting out Neptunes records and Pharrell’s solo work, the hip hop-heavy company hosts the likes of rappers Clipse and Slim Thug. Wallach, who co-writes a column for The Crimson’s magazine, said that he and Drummey fielded offers from many parties—including rappers/producers Kanye West and Jermaine Dupri—before accepting the offer from Star Trak. Star Trak did not return repeated requests for comment...

There, he was all innocent desperation; here, he's just moody-broody. For me, Ulliel's performance, especially in the many closeups, was upstaged by my obsession with a cleft near the actor's left eye. I wondered: Is it a healed scar or a high dimple? I never quite decided, but musing on it was a welcome distraction from this sad enterprise...
