Though most know Famke Janssen for action-oriented roles in the X-Men films, she bears the heft of this weighty drama with apparent ease. Janssen stars as Kailey, a woman who had to give up her son at birth, but now she's using her skills as a pool hustler to earn enough money to get him back. Actor Chris Eigeman (THE TREATMENT) turns director, writer, and producer with this acclaimed indie film.

A photographer convicted of assaulting Sir Paul McCartney's ex-wife has been cleared of charges after Heather Mills failed to appear in court today (May 20).

However, Judge Richard Brown said he received a note from Mills' physician saying she was suffering from stress, reports the Associated Press.

Irish stars honoured at British Film Awards
John Carney, the writer/ director behind 'Once', and 'Atonement' cinematographer Seamus McGarvey were amongst the winners at the British Film Awards.
Carney took the prize for Most Promising Newcomer in the awards designed to honour the British film industry, despite the fact that he is Irish.
Armagh's Seamus McGarvey was one of three winners for 'Atonement', which also took prizes for costume design and production.
In the other categories Helena Bonham-Carter was named best actress for two performances - in 'Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber Of Fleet Street' and low-key drama 'Conversations With Other Women'.
Irish citizen Daniel Day-Lewis won best actor for his role as a Texan oil prospector in 'There Will Be Blood'. The performance has already earned him a Golden Globe and he is hotly tipped for Bafta and Oscar glory later this month.
Julie Christie, also a front-runner for Oscar success with 'Away From Her', received the Alexander Walker Special Award for outstanding contribution to film.
Joy Division biopic 'Control' was the surprise winner of the best film award, beating 'Atonement' and 'There Will Be Blood'. It also won best screenplay.
Radiohead guitarist Jonny Greenwood received the best film score award for 'There Will Be Blood'.
