‘Gangster Squad’ stars hotties Ryan Gosling, Sean Penn, Emma Stone & Josh Brolin

In “Gangster Squad” the wrathful hand of God, in the form of Police Chief Nick Nolte, descends upon Mickey Cohen (Sean Penn) and his brutal mobsters. The problem is not guns and blood in movies. It is the lack of gun control combined with mentally ill individuals slipping through the cracks of society. If you are a fan of shoot ’em ups, run, don’t walk, to “Gangster Squad.” Feel free to drool over Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone as they sizzle right off the screen. Cheer for Josh Brolin as he beats bad guys to a blood-soaked heap.

Q&A with Paul Giamatti about meat monsters and other weird horror stories

In an interview with Examiner Dorri Olds, Paul Giamatti said, “Madame Bovary,” I think will be made at some point this year. The HBO movie, “K Blows Top,” is about Khrushchev. Hopefully that’ll get made this year. “Turbo” is a cartoon. Nice. Fun. That probably comes out this year. It’s about snails. “Saving Mr. Banks” is something I just did. That was a movie about Walt Disney and the woman who wrote Mary Poppins. It’s about the making of Mary Poppins. It’s interesting. Very interesting. “Romeo and Juliet” should come out this year. “Twelve Years a Slave” is a wonderful movie. They’re all wonderful movies. I’m supposed to go do “Parkland” tomorrow in Texas. That’s about the Kennedy assassination. I’m glad to see I have lots of movies coming out. I didn’t realize that. That’s nice. I’ve been working and that’s good.

Q&A with rising star Rodrigo Santoro who shines in the must-see movie, ‘Heleno’

“Heleno” is the story of Brazilian soccer star, Heleno de Freitas (1920–1959), and his meteoric rise to fame, then his equally quick plummet. The stunning and mesmerizing lead in the movie, Rodrigo Santoro, won Best Actor in Lima Latin American Film Festival and Havana Film Festival. Santoro’s Heleno grabs hold in ways reminiscent of Robert De Niro in Martin Scorsese’s “Raging Bull.” This is a nuanced performance conveying the rage, arrogance and addictions that fueled Heleno’s tragic demise.
