Movie Preview: Ed Norton and Ed Norton in Leaves of Grass
That double Ed Norton in the title is not a typo; Leaves of Grass stars the talented actor in a dual role, as polar opposite twin brothers.
As twins, Norton really goes for it — one twin, Bill, is straight-laced, while the other, Brady, is a mulleted hick with a heavy Southern accent. I've missed Norton's presence, but I'm wondering if this is going to a be an amazing acting opportunity or an embarrassing diversion for him.
Playing Ping-Pong With Susan Sarandon!

I spotted her there last Friday night looking adorable in a pair of boots, tights and a short skirt as she sat with other people on the indoor bleachers and watched a competitive ping-pong game.

Movie Preview: Peter Jackson's The Lovely Bones
If you've read the book The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold, you'll know that it's a heartwrenching, mysterious tale about family, death — and whatever comes after death. Peter Jackson's film adaptation has been a point of discussion ever since it was announced over two years ago, from the casting choices to the question of how to adapt a story like this, which regularly blurs the line between reality and the supernatural. Jackson's 1994 movie Heavenly Creatures does this very thing as well, which made him a good choice for this particular challenge.
