I felt so lucky to get a chance to hear them sing it. Apparently, I'm not the only young admirer they've got: Little Anthony said Fergie and Alicia Keys are fans. He also said they're doing Letterman in August to perform a new song....

In 1952's Rancho Notorious , a bitter, noirish Western by Fritz Lang, Ferrer and Arthur Kennedy forge such a strong and unlikely bond that their friendship almost seems a precursor to Brokeback Mountain . (Seriously, you'll gasp at the end of this Western,...

In my opinion, the mark of a great singer, is their ability to reach within themselves and bring out something that touches your soul.

DiCaprio does a really good job but seems a little uncomfortable as Hughes in his later years. The dense, linear plot doesn't leave much space to explore Hughes’ character motivations.
