 CANNES, France (Reuters) - Brad Pitt's latest movie paints a bleak picture of the broken American dream, blending a violent but comic gangster story with overt criticism of politicians' failure to address the economic crisis. "Killing Them Softly" takes place in an unspecified U.S. city which has borne the brunt of the financial collapse -- houses are abandoned, shops are shuttered and petty criminals and mobsters alike are struggling to get by.

| "Men in Black 3" is a party with sullen stars |
 LOS ANGELES (TheWrap.com) - It's a look that the parents of recalcitrant teenagers know all too well, that grimace that says, "You can make me go to this piano recital, but you can't force me to look like I'm enjoying myself." We get some version of that face quite a bit from Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones in "Men in Black 3," a sequel that seems to indicate that, a decade after their last onscreen outing, these two stars are strictly here for the paycheck. That's a pity, since there's a zippy and clever movie going on all around the two lumps with their names above the title. ...

| Kilts and whisky hit Cannes screens in Ken Loach film |
 CANNES (Reuters) - Ken Loach provides more than a wee dram of humor and Scottish charm undercut by working class realities with his new film "The Angels' Share", which premieres in Cannes on Tuesday, about a Glasgow delinquent who finds a way out through whisky. Although Angels' Share is a feel-good film, and is marketed as a comedy, the Scottish picture written by Paul Laverty carries a strong social message that comes to the defense of unemployed youth left with little chance of a better life. ...

| Singer Pete Doherty's film debut dubbed a "crime" |
 CANNES, France (Reuters) - "Don't give up the day job" was the critics' blunt message to British rocker Pete Doherty, whose debut film role in 19th century love story "Confession of a Child of the Century" has had its premiere at the Cannes festival. Based on an autobiographical novel by Alfred de Musset about his affair with writer George Sand, Doherty's casting in the lead role makes plenty of sense. The character he plays is a Parisian libertine living the wild life, mirroring the Babyshambles and Libertines frontman's own history of alcohol and drug abuse. ...
