Release Date: August 26, 2011 (NY, LA) Studio: IFC Films Director: Rowan Joffe Screenwriter: Rowan Joffe Starring: Sam Riley, Andrea Riseborough, Helen Mirren, Andy Serkis, John Hurt Genre: Drama, Thriller MPAA Rating: Not Available Official Website: IFCFilms.com Plot Summary: With the aesthetics of a British gangster flick and the soul of classic film noir, screenwriter Rowan Joffe's debut feature "Brighton Rock" tells the story of Pinkie, an ambitious teenage gangster who will stop at nothing to make a name for himself in Britain's sinister world of organized crime. His aspirations are nearly derailed when Rose, a naïve local waitress, stumbles upon evidence linking him to a revenge killing. To keep his alibi alive, Pinkie seduces Rose, weaving a chilling web of deception and passion, violence and love. Set in the picturesque seaside resort of Brighton, England, the film updates Graham Greene's iconic 1939 novel to 1964-at the height of Britain's Mods and Rockers riots-and stars the sexy, up-and-coming British pair Sam Riley ("Control," "On the Road"), in a performance of intense cunning and charm, and Andrea Riseborough ("Made in Dagenham" and the upcoming "W.E." directed by Madonna) as the young couple. Veterans Helen Mirren and John Hurt co-star as friends who set out to protect Rose from Pinkie and the dangerous world she is quickly falling into. Rowan Jaffe's first feature is a triumph, perfectly capturing Graham Greene's violent and sexually daring masterpiece.

Professor Calculus Will Not Feature in Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson film The Adventures of Tintin
Fans of Hergé's original "Tintin" comic series have noticed that a major recurring character has been missing from both footage and casting announcements connected to the upcoming Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson film adaptation. Today, ComingSoon.net had the opportunity to speak with both directors at the Comic-Con press conference and asked directly whether or not we'd be seeing Professor Calculus on the big screen this December. Unfortunately, it looks like The Adventures of Tintin will be a non-Calculus affair.
"Calculus doesn't yet make an appearance in our cinematic version of 'Tintin'," says Jackson, "Obviously, if we're lucky enough to do more 'Tintin' movies, there's a lot of stories that Calculus features in. We would absolutely look forward to seeing him in the future."
The lack of the character , who is introduced by Hergé in the two-part story that the feature film adapts ("The Secret of the Unicorn" and "Red Rackham's Treasure"), could point to significant changes to the source material. An eccentric inventor, Calculus (Tournesol in the original Belgian strips) is responsible for constructing the shark submarine (pictured below) that both features heavily in the plot and has become an iconic image of "Tintin" lore.
"I'm just really happy to know that you know Calculus. That makes me very happy." says Spielberg, suggesting that western audiences will likely not notice the character's absence.
Should a sequel move forward, it has been suggested that Jackson and Spielberg (the former directing this time) will adapt the two-part adventure "The Seven Crystal Ball" and "Prisoners of the Sun", the source material for which both continue to feature Calculus in with some prominence.
Despite the lack of the Calculus character, "Tintin" fans can look forward to seeing the familiar faces of Tintin (Jamie Bell), Snowy, Captain Haddock (Andy Serkis) and Thomson and Thompson (Simon Pegg and Nick Frost) on the big screen in 3D, 2D and IMAX 3D when The Adventures of Tintin hits theaters on December 23rd.

Although their goal lies to the East and the wastelands of the Lonely Mountain first they must escape the goblin tunnels, where Bilbo meets the creature that will change his life forever... Gollum.
Here, alone with Gollum, on the shores of an underground lake, the unassuming Bilbo Baggins not only discovers depths of guile and courage that surprise even him, he also gains possession of Gollum's "precious" ring that holds unexpected and useful qualities... A simple, gold ring that is tied to the fate of all Middle-earth in ways Bilbo cannot begin to know.
