Leave it to Spike Jonze to give us one of the oddest love stories of all time. In his new film Her, Joaquin Phoenix plays Theodore Twombly, a man who is heartbroken after his relationship breaks up. Desperate for love again, Theodore falls for an advanced operating system named Samantha (voiced by Scarlett Johansson).
Already starting to earn some serious awards buzz, Her is a warm and clever film, with some excellent performances from its cast and Jonze’s trademark directorial style stamped all over it. In fact, it might just be the director’s best work yet.
Yesterday, Warner Bros. held a red carpet premiere for the film in Los Angeles and we were on hand to cover the event. Unfortunately, several of the film’s stars more or less skipped the press line, meaning we couldn’t speak with people like Joaquin Phoenix or Amy Adams.
That being said,...

Not sure how we missed hearing about the new indie thriller Unrequited, especially since it stars one of the Twilight kids, Michael Welch, but considering he's a human in the Saga rather than a sparkly vamp or a member of the wolf pack, I guess it's understandable. In any event, a trailer landed online today for Unrequited, and we've got a look at it right here.
First, though, here's a synopsis of the film, which is directed by Jason Epperson (runner-up on the Steven Spielberg-produced Fox reality series "On The Lot") from a screenplay by Jeffrey Day and Thomas Lockridge: Unrequited tells the story of Ben Jacobs (Welch), a troubled young man who, on his 18th birthday, must leave the group home for “troubled teens” where he has been living for the past several months. After moving back in with his mother (Clare Carey), Ben discovers that his girlfriend,...
