Sometimes the headline really says it all, no? We've been touting Ben Foster here for a while. I still think he's in the running for scene stealer of the year thanks to his kick ass villain in "3:10 to Yuma." But who does the guy that we admire have a thing for? Like everybody else it seems, he's into former "Alpha Dog" co-star Justin Timberlake.
Watch below as the love comes pouring out! He thinks Justin might stop global warming! He thinks he might be President! He is...A FAN. 'Nuff said.
Recently, we sat down with the young stars of "30 Days of Night" and "Gone Baby Gone," who we (and others like Sam Raimi) think are about to break big. Watch the video below to find out why.

You know those review quotes they put on posters, right? "Best comedy ever!" "Four stars!" "If you see only one movie this year …" etc. Well, I promise you that no matter how good Ben Foster's next movie, "The Laws of Motion," winds up being, no matter if it's compared to "Casablanca" and "Citizen Kane," there won't be a better quote to put on the film's poster and television ads than the one recently offered up by Foster himself:
"[It's] a great romantic, heartbreaking dramedy," he said. "No death. No killing. A multiple personality, a little pedophilia. ... Funny. It's really funny!"
I really can't tell you how much of a kick I'm getting out of that, even if it's possible Foster was putting us on a little bit. Read More...

I've already fessed up and written about what a fan I am of James Mangold's riveting new Western, "3:10 to Yuma." Mangold has been a director I've always found fascinating, dating back to my obsession a decade ago with the vastly underappreciated "Cop Land." So when I got a chance to talk to the "Walk the Line" director for the first time, I didn't give it a second thought. Read below as Mangold discusses the shades of gray in his new film, what he hates about modern Westerns, and why he felt like a failure after "Cop Land."
We began by talking about Ben Foster's kick-ass portrayal of Russell Crowe henchman Charlie Prince.
MTV: Did Charlie play on the page as well as Ben Foster plays it on the big screen?
James Mangold: Well it was a great role but it's definitely bigger in the movie than you might see on the page. Read More...

Forget Crowe And Bale, '3:10 To Yuma' Stars Ben Foster

Maybe you've noticed one of the posters for the "3:10 to Yuma" in your local theater? 'Yuma' of course is a remake of a 1957 western that itself was based on a 1953 Elmore Leonard short story (yes, Elmore Leonard's been writing for a while now). The new flick, helmed by "Walk the Line" director James Mangold, stars Russell Crowe and Christian Bale. Now remember that poster I just mentioned? Check it out below and tell me if something doesn't fit.
