I knew he was a legendary director and he was giving me a list of his movies like Raging Bull, Taxi Driver. Then he was like, 'You probably can't watch any of those quite yet, but there is this one movie I directed called Hugo.'

Rodrigues witnesses how Kirishitans must practise their faith in secret because their religion is heresy in Edo-period Japan, leading him to question his own beliefs.

Javier Bardem's Oscar-winning performance as Anton Chigurh in No Country for Old Men remains an iconic villain turn 20 years later, and now he takes on Max Cady in Cape Fear.

He's a ubiquitous face, showing up regularly in all sorts of supporting parts (big ones as well as glorified cameos), but he so rarely gets the chance to carry a feature.

"Scarface" actress Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio looked like any other New Yorker while riding the subway in the West Village recently. The actress, 67, went unnoticed as she took a seat, wearing jeans, a puffer jacket, earmuffs and mittens, while holding a shopping bag. Mastrantonio made her Broadway debut as an understudy in the 1980 revival of "West Side Story" and three years later made her screen debut in "Scarface," playing Al Pacino's sister.
