"Hotel Rwanda" star Don Cheadle got a first-hand view of horror when he traveled to the devastated Darfur region of Sudan in 2005.

• Wearing a navy Obama T-shirt and skull cap, Matt Damon picked up crab meat ravioli and chicken Parmigiana at Miami Beach's Cafe Prima Pasta for a quiet dinner at home with wife Luciana.

The amnesiac assassin Jason Bourne is back, and this time he clobbered Homer Simpson on his way to scoring the biggest film opening ever for the month of August.
It's not easy, being Bourne again. It means a lot of miles, a lot of challenges, and all for uncertain ends. And you never know what you'll have to explain: "My fight is not with you," Matt Damon's amnesiac rogue CIA agent, evading capture in Moscow, says to a local cop in Russian before beating a nonviolent retreat.

For a festival celebrating its 60th year, the Cannes Film Festival proved mighty frisky. Sure, a handful of the 21 international titles in competition were dolorous arthouse tush-testers - but enough films pleased, entertained and touched a viewer that Cannes 2007 turned out to be memorable.
At the 60th annual Cannes Film Festival a number of films have made an impact on audiences and judges alike.
Start with the romance and allure of the French Riviera, the warm weather of an evening in late May infused with the smell of blooming jasmine, add a lineup of air-kissing international movie stars, directors, and film-makers, and voila! The 60th Cannes Film Festival gets under way.
Sharon Stone put George Clooney on the auction block Wednesday for a good cause: AIDS research.
The superstitious believe bad things happen in threes. Hollywood is counting on the opposite this summer, with the industry's hopes resting on the third installments of some mammoth movie franchises.
Back in 1973, New York's Little Italy district supplied the backdrop to the film "Mean Streets," a mob movie which marked the first step in a long collaboration between two of the city's finest film-makers: director Martin Scorsese and a young actor named Bobby.
You can tell a lot about a person by the way they read about sports: not just what kind of fan they are, but also their view of human history. It all comes down to this: do you read the game recap first, or do you go straight to the box score?
It has become almost meaningless to talk of "the year" in American film. The business is now more seasonal than the climate. No less than three of my top five choices were released within the last two weeks of December; such is the magnetic lock of the Oscar period.
The two movies virtually intersect at one point (in Berlin, 1945), but don't confuse Robert De Niro's lengthy, absorbing spy drama "The Good Shepherd" with Steven Soderbergh's black-and-white throwback "The Good German." The overlap probably won't help either of them at the box office, and neither looks like a surefire hit in that department.
What's the biggest difference between kissing Matt Damon and kissing Brad Pitt? "One's a friend and one's my love," says Angelina Jolie, who co-stars with Damon in the upcoming drama "The Good Shepherd."
Sing to the tune of California: "Dow 12,000 here we come. Right back where we started from." Okay, it makes no sense. Still I guarantee, much like Patrick Ewing promised a championship for the Knicks, that we will reach Dow 12,000 this week! Today!
What goes around comes around. No filmmaker is more movie-savvy than Martin Scorsese, and he, in turn, has influenced a whole generation of directors around the world.
Jack.

Nothing kills all the extra sleep and relaxation you got on vacation like returning home to fill out a police report and meet with a claims adjuster.
Yes, Stephen Gaghan says, his movie "Syriana" is about oil and politics. But it's also about other things: global interconnectedness. Willful ignorance. Consumerism.
"Syriana" has a lot of big, important things to say about big, important things, and it says them with a sense of urgency.
To the casual moviegoer, the release date of a film is irrelevant. The radio, television and Internet advertisements warn us all a few weeks prior to release what's on the horizon and we plan our weekends accordingly. As a result, the frantic waltz of films around release dates is often lost on the populace. It's a war waged in trenches in Beverly Hills and Burbank, but not in the public eye.
It seems that Hollywood is finally getting the message.
Matt Damon is trained to kill with his bare hands.
Two days after a tribute concert was held for Bruce Springsteen, The Boss showed up to offer an authentic taste of his music.
Some films aren't meant to succeed. Whether too quirky for the mainstream, poorly marketed, or too cheaply made to warrant a major release, these films eventually dissolve away into the world of home video where they are either devoured by the throng of similar titles or revealed to be diamonds in the rough -- otherwise known as cult classics.
Diamonds might be forever but not when embedded in the nose of a Formula One racing car, as the Jaguar team discovered.
