Fitting into a variety of different genres like its child’s play is a talent that not many actors have. To be able to go from one persona to the next, flawlessly, is one of the greatest things to watch in film. One actor that comes to our minds who fits the bill is the one and only Stanley Tucci.

The Fall movie going season? Whoop-doo! As a paid movie journalist, I have access to just about every movie coming out at any given time. My inbox if full of invites to even the smallest arthouse flicks. Sometimes, I forget what a blessing this is. After ten years in this gravel laden ditch, I take films for granted. I’ve forgotten what a simple pleasure it is to pack up the car on a Friday night and haul the kids down to the local Cineplex....
