Title: Morning Writer-director: Joseph Mitacek Starring: Andrew Ramaglia, Emily Cline, Wally Dalton, Ryan Cooper, Deb Craig An achingly sincere (and achingly familiar), Seattle-set drama of parental bereavement and relationship drift, writer-director Joseph Mitacek’s Morning, which just screened as part of the recently concluded 14th annual Dances With Films festival, is proof that there’s quiet, to-scale reward in plenty of indie cinema, if predominantly for those who don’t mind its laid-track similarity to so much heartstring-tugging Hollywood studio product. Morning centers around Michael (Andrew Ramaglia) and Sarah Hade (Emily Cline), a married couple with a two-year-old son, and all of the typical sorts of challenges that come with trying to juggle both home and...

Alfred Hitchcock famously quipped that the three things you need to make a good film are a “good script, a good script and a good script.” In February 1998 however the Academy voters decided to ignore these pearls of wisdom, much like they ignored the achievements of Hitchcock himself, when they chose to reward Titanic with a Best Picture win despite the film lacking a screenplay nomination.
This was the first time this had transpired in over thirty years and pretty much confirmed the idea that Titanic was being praised as a spectacle even though it has been proven time and time again that any spectacle without the benefit of good storytelling is only impressive until the next spectacle comes along. L.A. Confidential on the other hand which is as fresh and watachable in 2010 as it was thirteen years ago compliments the quote that “good storytelling never goes out of fashion.

Nicole Kidman is turning matchmaker for her "Rabbit Hole" co-star Aaron Eckhart - declaring the single actor is "looking for a wife". The pair plays husband and wife in the upcoming emotional drama but Kidman, who is married to country singer Keith Urban, reveals "The Dark Knight" star isn't as lucky in love off-screen.
She tells USA Today, "He'll make someone a great husband. Which is actually what Aaron is: a really decent guy with an enormous amount of love to give. So for all those women out there, he's looking for a wife. He's a really good husband." Eckhart adds, "From your lips to God's ears. I need a good woman!"
Eckhart was once engaged to actress Emily Cline, whom he met during filming of "In the Company of Men", but they split in 1998. He was then linked to Molly Sims although it was never confirmed.

Molly Sims and Aaron Eckhart are new celebrity lovers. The actress-model has exclusively confirmed to Fox411 that she is dating the 41-year-old actor, who is recognized for his role as Chad in 1997 movie "In the Company of Men". Giving no clue on when she began dating Aaron, Molly simply says "Aaron's a great guy!"
Rumors claiming Molly and Aaron are a couple emerged soon after they were spotted dining together last week in Baton Rouge, Louisiana at Sullivan's Steakhouse. And while not much is known about the pair's relationship, sources have confirmed to People that the two have been quietly dating for a few weeks.
Molly herself played it coy at first when during an appearance in "Chelsea Lately" last week she was asked to confirm whether or not she is dating Aaron. She was on the E! late night comedy talk show to promote her new line of jewelry,...

The Dark Knight star Aaron Eckhart is feeling the pressure to find a girlfriend and settle down - because reporters always quiz him about his love life when he's promoting a new movie.
The actor is currently starring in romantic comedy Love Happens with Jennifer Aniston and he's been bombarded with questions about when he'll get married and start a family - even though he's still single.
Eckhart, who was previously engaged to actress Emily Cline, admits the constant speculation is starting to annoy him - because not even his mother pressures him as much as the media.
He says, "You know who I'm getting pressure from? The press! When you're promoting a new movie they want to know a) have you slept with your co-star, which I have not, and b) why are you so old and never been married?! And they're getting down my root (on his nerves) about it.
"I think that once you get over the age of 40 people start to ask questions. When you're younger and single, it's cool. Now it's dirty."
However, the star is convinced he knows what the problem is - he's too mature.
He adds, "I'm a very serious person, too serious I've been told. I like to joke around sometimes but not a lot. When you're past 40 man, it's all over.
"I would like to settle down and have children one day. (But) I don't just wanna jump into it."
But Eckhart is not adverse to dating a woman much younger than his 41 years - as long as they have the same interests: "I don't see anything wrong with that. I think it's all about maturity."...
