Leonardo DiCaprio's getting some company for Christopher Nolan's Inception that reads like a who's who of indie movie all-stars. Variety reports that Warner Bros is negotiating with Juno's Ellen Page, La Vie En Rose's Marion Cotillard and Sunshine and Nolan semi-regular Cillian Murphy to join the cast of the Nolan-scripted sci fi thriller.
DiCaprio will play a CEO type, and Cotillard is reportedly playing his wife. Page will play a grad student that is DiCaprio's sidekick.

It's quite a busy DVD Tuesday this week, with several major releases making their debuts on home video. Noteable titles include Death Sentence, the suburban dad reveng flick from Saw director James Wan; Dragon Wars (aka D-War), an action fantasy based on Korean legend; Sunshine, the scary, trippy sci-fi flick from 28 Days Later director Danny Boyle; and the evil child creepfest Joshua.
Our pick for the week is the splendid western 3:10 to Yuma, starring Russell Crowe, Christian Bale and Ben Foster.

It's all about alternative lifestyles at the Cineplex this weekend, with Adam Sandler playing it gay in I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry and John Travolta donning a dress in Hairspray. Do either of them have the stuff to take down Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix?

I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry 
"Better than I expected it to be...the least painful Adam Sandler comedy since 1998's The Wedding Singer." [Full Review]
Hairspray 
"I thought it ran a little long. But my toes still tapped, and the messages are even good ones--sounds like good entertainment to me." [Full Review]
Sunshine 
"Intense and enthralling...director Danny Boyle has crafted a different breed of summer thriller that delivers on all levels." [Full Review]

I just returned from an early screening of the upcoming Sci-Fi Thriller, Sunshine, which is currently set for release on July 20th. This is a movie I've been looking forward to for quite some time because it is directed by one of my favorite auteurs, Danny Boyle. While you may not know his name, he's actually one of the most underrated directors on the fringe of Hollywood and, chances are, you've probably enjoyed at least one of his movies. A few of his highlights include Shallow Grave, Trainspotting, 28 Days Later and Millions.
Sunshine lives up to my expectations and, in most cases, far exceeds them. It's part 2001, part Alien. Set in 2057, the sun is dying, threatening man's extinction. A small crew boards a ship called Icarus II which carries a massive bomb intended to re-ignite the sun. The cast includes Cillian Murphy (Batman Begins), Rose Byrne (28 Weeks Later), Michelle Yeoh (Memoirs of a Geisha) and Chris Evans (Fantastic Four).
It's intense and enthralling. I found myself completely wrapped
up in the movie, forgetting about the stresses of daily life for 108 minutes of movie bliss.
With a reportedly meager budget, Boyle has crafted a different breed of summer thriller that delivers on all levels. Sci-Fi fanatics are going to love it, but even those normally turned off by Spock ears and lightsabers should find themselves highly entertained.
Stay tuned to ReelzChannel.com in the coming weeks for more on Sunshine as well as our in-depth review of the film.
