Listen, we know. This is getting a bit ridiculous, because at first we were all like, "Psssh, whatever. I can't be bothered." But fuck if we didn't click, watch and wait anyway.

Leonardo DiCaprio No Longer Attached To StarSo, where do we begin with "Prisoners"? How about with a bit of a history lesson, but essentially, keep in mind that of all the Black List scripts of the last few years making noise, this taut vigilante thriller may have been the white-hottest of all of them, only to drop off and practically go dark. But it's coming back to life, albeit in a very different form. We digress. Here's its inception.

There is probably no better way to kick off the Cannes Film Festival this year than with Woody Allen's "Midnight In Paris." France adores the director, and with a star-studded cast and the film set in the most romantic city in the world, it's really the perfect mix of ingredients for what will hopefully be a lovely little treat before the heaviness of the rest of the festival entries screen.

With an ensemble cast featuring Paul Rudd, Elizabeth Banks, Zooey Deschanel, Rashida Jones and Emily Mortimer, the Sundance indie hit comedy, "Your Idiot Brother" (formerly known as "My Idiot Brother"), has a wide array of talent in it. But that's only the first layer and the bench is deep. There's also Adam Scott ("Party Down," "Parks & Recreation," Will Ferrell's nasty/awesome brother in "Step Brothers"), British funnyman Steve Coogan ("24 Hour Party People," "Hamlet 2," beloved U.K. sitcom, "I'm Alan Partridge"), T.J. Miller ("She's Out of My League," the excellent short film, "Successful Alcoholics"), Kathryn Hahn (a Judd Apatow character-actor favorite who threatened to steal every "Step Brothers" scene she was in), Hugh Dancy ("Adam," "Savage Grace") and comely newcomer Janet Montgomery. Phew.
