Benh Zeitlin's BEASTS OF THE SOUTHERN WILD whisks you to a surreal realm, where little girls and mythical animals coexist in a bayou called The Bathtub, all intertwined in the cosmic mesh of the universe. Hushpuppy (stunning newcomer Quvenzhané Wallis) relentlessly explores her world for answers, to satisfy her curiosity, and to make her budding mark on a world she's only beginning to comprehend. Today, in conjunction with our good friends at CinemaBlend, we're launching WELCOME TO THE BATHTUB, an new site that let's the viewer experience BEASTS OF THE SOUTHERN WILD through Hushpuppy's eyes.

If there were ever two things in this world that could unequivocally be deemed The Best: Bill Nighy and Charlie Rose. When the two are in the same room for an hour, well... see for yourself.

Ah, India. We've never been, actually, but we heard from the cast of THE BEST EXOTIC MARIGOLD HOTEL that it's quite lovely, indeed.

We had the great pleasure of interviewing veteran character actress Penelope Wilton, who plays Jean in THE BEST EXOTIC MARIGOLD HOTEL earlier this month, and now it's USA Today's turn. Check out today's in-depth profile on Penelope, and yes, they talk about Downton Abbey.

LOLA VERSUS will be released on June 8th, just as the summer movies begin to roll in. We're not sure about you, but one of our favorite pass-times during the warm summer months is to escape the sweltering heat in the cool shelter of our local arthouse and/or multiplex.

Greta Gerwig, who plays boy/food/shoes-obsessed reluctant bachelorette Lola in our upcoming comedy-drama LOLA VERSUS, is the subject of an extensive profile in the New York Times this week.

All your SOUND OF MY VOICE fans are in luck, because this weekend we are giving LA and NY yet another chance to ask director Zal Batmanglij and leading lady/co-writer Brit Marling a few questions after screenings of the movie.

Yes, we interviewed Tom Wilkinson while reclined on a couch at the Waldorf. Let's just check that off the bucket list, shall we?

We had the great good fortune of spending some hang time with John Madden, acclaimed director of THE BEST EXOTIC MARIGOLD HOTEL, as well as Shakespeare in Love and a slew of other amazing films. As you can imagine, he was quite the gentleman, regaling us with tales of shooting in India and working with such respected thesps as Judi Dench and Maggie Smith. Delightful, really.

One of the things that makes SOUND OF MY VOICE such a mind-trip is that it is totally open to interpretation: where Maggie is for real or not, where she's from, who her followers are and where they're going—it's all pretty much relative, until the very last moment (and even then, not exactly). Milk Studios in NYC have been making waves recently with their MilkMade culture blog, and today they posted some interesting "semantic maps" that isolate key quotes from SOUND OF MY VOICE and mingle them with some powerful ideas sprouted from the story.
