Just last month we got word that The Weinstein Company had picked up the gestating project from director Paul Thomas Anderson that was once left for dead by Universal. In addition, Philip Seymour Hoffman and Joaquin Phoenix had been confirmed to star, and now the currently untitled film formerly known as The Master has added some new cast members to this mix. As they were rumored to have caught Anderson's eye in our last update on the project, Deadline confirms Amy Adams has joined the cast while Variety has confirmed that Laura Dern has also taken a role in the film. But there's even more casting. Read on!

Variety also has word that Jesse Plemons (Paul) and David Warshofsky (There Will Be Blood) have also landed parts in Anderson's project. And finally, The Playlist has confirmed that Swedish actress Lena Endre (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo) will also star in ...

MIDNIGHT IN PARIS

CAROLINE: I took myself on a date last weekend to see the new Woody Allen flick, Midnight in Paris, since neither of us could attend last week's screening.

RYAN: I'm dying to see it!! Mostly because it stars our girl, Rachel McAdams.

CAROLINE: That was a huge draw for me. And it offsets the fact that her leading man is Owen Wilson. Why on earth is he in so many movies lately? I would have enjoyed watching almost anyone else in the role, except Ben Stiller.

RYAN: Seriously. So how was it?

CAROLINE: It's cute. I didn't absolutely adore it, but I totally enjoyed myself. It's probably a rental though.

RYAN: Was Owen as annoying as you feared?

CAROLINE: It's not that he's a bad actor, I just don't think he has much range. He's hard to look at too. There are so many great actors in their late 30s/early 40s; I don't know why Woody picked him.

RYAN: What about Rachel?

CAROLINE: She's just so awesome and so pretty. I loved her outfits in the movie. She's from a rich family so she has fab clothes. Unfortunately, her character's kind of a shrewy bitch, which of course she was great at; but she's not very likable.

RYAN: And it's also got Marion Cotillard, right?

CAROLINE: Yes, and she's gorgeous as always. It takes place in Paris, obviously, and Owen's character travels back to the '20s every night where he meets tons of icons like Zelda and F. Scott Fitzgerald, Hemingway, Dali and Picasso. It's very whimsical and fun.

RYAN: Does Marion get to speak in her native French at all?

CAROLINE: She most certainly does. And it's also got Michael Sheen, who is now Rachel McAdams's real-life boyfriend.

RYAN: Sounds like an amazing cast!

CAROLINE: Yeah, Woody has a way of assembling really good people lately. Kathy Bates plays Gertrude Stein and she's great, of course - but what really stood out is that she speaks both French and Spanish in the movie. Go Kathy! And of course, all the scenery of Paris is gorgeous. It made me want to book a flight immediately!

-- BOTTOM LINE --

CAROLINE: It's a cute Woody Allen movie for sure. I was expecting to laugh a lot, but I merely chuckled. It's not a straight up comedy, but it's fun. I suspect I would have liked it better if the male lead weren't Owen Wilson.

-- RATING --

Trailer Tuesdays!

CAROLINE: Must I pretend to care about the X-Men this Trailer Tuesdays?

RYAN: Ha, no, you don't have to. The new installment is X-Men: First Class, and it stars James McAvoy, Jennifer Lawrence of Winter's Bone fame, January Jones and Michael Fassbender.

CAROLINE: I think I saw/slept through the first or second one, but that was it. Comic book movies aren't my bag to begin with, especially given that these characters are virtually unknown to me.

RYAN: I think this franchise is cool, and after the Wolverine one-off, I'm glad to see more super powers together instead of just focusing on one mutant. Also, I love James McAvoy and Rose Byrne who's having a very good year, after Bridesmaids.

CAROLINE: I like the cast too, but I just can't pretend to care about this movie.

RYAN: I'm sure the effects will be awesome. It's a little surprising that this isn't in 3D, but given how lame the Thor 3D was, maybe it's not such a bad thing.

CAROLINE: It's good that they didn't push it to be in 3D. But I still don't want to see it. Too many superhero movies this summer! I hope Marvel doesn't wear out its welcome.

RYAN: There are a lot of superhero movies this summer, but this one is part of a larger franchise. I think it has potential. Check out the trailer here:

Bluray Review: Hilary Swank Rises Above the Muck in ?The Resident?

A direct-to-DVD thriller starring Oscar-winning actress Hilary Swank is like finding a Canadian dollar on the streets of Iowa. It’s fascinating from a “What the hell? I found a Canadian dollar in Iowa?” stand point but ultimately, you can’t use it to buy anything so how great could finding a Loonie be? That’s what [...]
