 Cinema
and television : two screens to look for if you stay in the United States
this month of January. First on January 14, Paula Trickey (ex-Tonya
Vargas) will be Claire Harriman in the mystery TV movie McBride : Murder Past Midnight
on The Hallmark Channel.
The following day, on January 15, it is Richard Hatch (ex-Stephen Slade)
who will have the honors of the good theaters, starring in The Rain Makers,
a dark and violent movie.
You will then have to wait until January 30 to refind Paul Johansson
(ex-Greg Hughes), in the movie Farewell to Raskolnikov's.
Paul plays there Jake Benjamin, an egocentric but talented writer who get
proposed a weird deal from a publisher : he will be published if he
accepts to make her a child. A strange film to discover...
Finally, we expect a lot of Nine Lives, the last movie of
Robin Wright Penn (ex-Kelly Capwell), which will be presented in premiere
on January 24 at the Sundance Film Festival.
Robin is Diana, one of the nine women of the title, who tries to escape
from her everyday life, at the sides of Glenn Close, Holly Hunter and
