Some misinformation was spread yesterday about viewing options for Bel Ami. I was hyper-sensitive about it because the info claimed I'd get to see Bel Ami through my cable company on May 4th and being a customer of AT&T, I know they won't provide the VOD until June 8th (theatrical release).

Here's the screencap from Magnolia Pictures official site, letting you know your viewing options.



As you know, I'm going to get the iTunes first so I can see it at midnight and then I'll transition to Amazon over the weekend after my iTunes rental is up. I love that Amazon skips the long download process. How are you guys viewing it? I know you have a plan by now. ;)

Want To Preview The Soundtrack For Robert Pattinson's "Cosmopolis"?



Preview the "Cosmopolis" Sound Track HERE

The soundtrack for Cosmopolis reunites composer Howard Shore and the band METRIC for another cinematic collaboration. While writing the score for David Cronenberg’s film adaptation of the Don DeLillo novel Cosmopolis, Shore conceived of a particular live sound to achieve his vision and invited METRIC to perform the score and co-write three songs. The music was recorded in November 2011 at the band’s own Giant Studios in Toronto, produced by Howard Shore and METRIC guitarist Jimmy Shaw, and mixed by John O’Mahony at Liberty Studios in Toronto and Electric Lady Studios in NYC. The result is an atmospheric, urban soundscape of analog synths and layered guitars featuring the hypnotic vocals of METRIC lead singer Emily Haines. The Cosmopolis soundtrack also features “Mecca” by Somali Singer/Rapper K’NAAN with lyrics by the artist and Don DeLillo.

"Mission: Black List": 5 Reasons Robert Pattinson Is the Man for the Job

Hollywood.com give 5 reasons why Robert Pattinson Is the Man for"Mission:BlackList"



Twilight made him a household name, but since his explosion in popularity, vampiric heartthrob Robert Pattinson hasn't been content in letting fame shoehorn his career. His next role is proof: Pattinson is reportedly attached to star in Mission: Black List, a psychological thriller that puts him in the shoes of real life Army interrogator Eric Maddox. Maddox was influential in the capture of Saddam Hussein, his tell-all book (on which the film is based) revealing in detail how he used non-violent, mind-bending methods to draw out the information he needed.

Perceptions of Pattinson's range are often shortsighted thanks to the demands of his breakout role (Edward Cullen ain't doing him any favors), but Mission: Black List could be a defining part for the young actor. Here's why:

He's Versatile

First thing's first: Pattinson may come off as disaffected as his Twilight counterpart when he's strolling red carpets, but it's only because he's a serious actor looking to leave the celebrity status out of his work. Between the installments of the much-loved franchise, he's tackled biopics (the Salvador Dali film Little Ashes), realistic dramas (Remember Me) and period spectacles (Water for Elephants). We've only seen a sliver of what Pattinson is really capable of, but his willingness to explore a range of stories, themes and characters is proof that he's more than capable of getting down and dirty in a thriller.
