Welcome to The B-Side, from The Film Stage. Here we talk about movie stars! Not the movies that made them famous or kept them famous, but the ones they made in between.

Today we bring in the great Mitchell Beaupre to discuss our final Listener’s Choice ‘22 pick: Cameron Diaz. Our B-Sides are: The Last Supper, The Invisible Circus, The Box, and Gambit.

We chat about Diaz’s underrated range, her penchant for taking risks, the stratospheric, star-making entrance in her first movie The Mask, and the similarities she shares with recent B-Side subject Michelle Pfeiffer.

Mitchell, Conor, and I discuss how weirdly great Any Given Sundayis (and how great Diaz is in it!), how well those Charlie’s Angels movies have aged, and that whole Green Hornet moment.

For more from The B-Side, you can check out highlights of actors/directors and the films discussed in one place here.

In our previous looks at some of the hardest games ever made for their respective consoles, we were ultimately just rounding up the usual suspects and trying to order them in a way that made sense. When it comes to the hardest Xbox games ever made, though, the process is a little bit…different.

While there are some Xbox games that are infamously and indisputably difficult, many of the more notable games for Microsoft’s first console just didn’t emphasize overwhelming difficulty in the same way that some PlayStation 2 and GameCube games did. There are various reasons why that seemed to be the case, but what you’re left with is a much more interesting debate about what the most difficult Xbox games truly were.

So, let’s start that debate. Here are our selections for the hardest Xbox games ever made.

Invisible Circus: No Dress Rehearsal

Stars: Heidi Borg, Ashling Deeks, Sarah Fielding, Doug Francis, Laurie French | Directed by Naomi Smyth

The Invisible Circus is a Bristol-based collective of performance artists, specialising in ‘site specific’ productions. Their shows involve cabaret, acrobatics, music, dance, theatre and humour. This documentary, directed by Invisible Circus collaborator Naomi Smyth, showcases the ups and downs of troupe over a formative few years in the latter part of the previous decade.

As well as having plenty to say about the group specifically, the film also looks at the wider issues of the contention between public and private spaces (an issue more relevant than ever in the wake of the recent Occupy movement) and squatter’s rights. The performance spaces in which Invisible Circus live and work consist of derelict buildings (pubs, cathedrals, police stations), often to the ire of private investors. It’s easy to sympathise with...

• Holidays are coming. Thinking about your loved ones? Today's poster 1st look reminds that some of us will have face stiff penalties for terrible holiday gift shopping and will only have less than 2 months  to make up for it. To be released February (Valentine's Day) 14th, Universal Pictures rom com got me thinking: if I had to choose among the three below which one would I go for? Banks would win by a nose, though I wouldn't mind sharing my pillow with either Rachel or Isla.  Directed by Adam Brooks (2001's The Invisible Circus), this sees Ryan Reynolds star as Will Hayes, a 30-something Manhattan dad in the midst of a divorce when his 10-year-old daughter, Maya (Breslin), starts to question him about his life before marriage. Maya wants to know absolutely everything about how her parents met and fell in love. Will's story begins in 1992, as a young,

Camilla Belle is in negotiations to star opposite Daniel Day-Lewis in the title role of IFC Films' Rose and the Snake for writer-director Rebecca Miller. Up-and-coming actor Paul Dano (The Emperor's Club) also will star in the film, with Beau Bridges making an appearance in a small but pivotal role. Production begins in the summer with Catherine Keener also starring (HR 3/7). The project sees Day-Lewis star as a dying, widowed father of a 16-year-old girl named Rose (Belle). They live on an abandoned commune, where Rose has been sheltered from the world. When the father's new love, a single mom named Kathleen (Keener), and her two teenage boys, come to live with them, Rose undergoes a sexual awakening with both liberating and devastating consequences. Dano plays the sexually charged Thadius, the elder of the two boys, who immediately sets his sights on Rose. Bridges plays Marty Rance, a real estate developer interested in buying the commune from the father. Belle, repped by CAA, has starred in such films as The Lost World: Jurassic Park, The Patriot, Practical Magic and Invisible Circus. Dano, repped by the Gersh Agency and Industry Entertainment's Sandra Chan, won an Independent Spirit Award last year for his performance in the indie feature L.I.E. He just completed shooting New Regency's The Girl Next Door and will next play the lead in the indie film Light and the Sufferer for writer-director Chris Peditto. Bridges is also repped by CAA.

Cameron Diaz was the perfect big sister to her teenage Invisible Circus (2000) co-star Camilla Belle. Cameron plays an older sibling in the new movie and Camilla, 14, now wishes Cameron was her older sister in real life too. Belle explains, "She was a total big sister on the set. She treated me like a little sister. We just hung out and we went to lunch and we still keep in touch. I think she's great. She was a wonderful big sister both on and off set." And Diaz couldn't resist giving her young protege some tips on how to have an enjoyable life. Belle continues, "Her motto is to have fun, she's all about having fun so she gave me tips on my future career to only pick scripts that I would enjoy doing."...
