Steven SpielbergsBridge of Spiesis in theaters today. Francis Gary Powers was a controversial figure to some during the height of the Cold War. The role also required a dizzyingly spectacular set-piece of special effects work to capture Powers fateful descent over Sverdiovsk.

Guillermo Del Toros Crimson Peak is a lush, eye-filling Gothic romance, but is it scary? Carter, not impressed, is also quite worried about the effect Sharpe is having on his daughter. No, this is essentially a love story, although the love on hand is quite corrosive and destructive. Which brings us to the cast.
