Paul Thomas Anderson's 'The Master
Our weekend preview: there's a rash of horrendously reviewed films this weekend, along with a few standouts to compete with the likes of holdovers "Titanic 3-D," "The Hunger Games" and "Cabin in the Woods." "Marley" tops as pick of the week.  Lawrence Kasdan's "Darling Companion" comes out this weekend as well; our interview with the writer-director and film's star Kevin Kline is here.

This week, we explained why Rich Ross had to leave Disney; we analyzed the line up at Cannes; two Weinstein Aussie auteurs join the competition, and no women.  We consider fourteen careers heading to Cannes including Brad Pitt, Nicole Kidman, Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, and Matthew McConaughey.  Paul Thomas Anderson's Producer Tips "The Master" for Cannes? - It Was Pitt-Starrer "Killing Them Softly."  In more festival news, SFIFF bestows Graham Leggat award to "Beasts of the Southern Wild" director Zeitlin.  And at Ashland Independent Film Festival: From Taymor and Kashmir to the Kennedys.

We also take on the issue of how movie news, analysis, and critical sites should balance posting movie trailers and posters, without hawking - sharing worthwhile info is fine by us, it's new, it informs.
