I’ve adored the roles of Keira Knightley in the Pirates of the Caribbean series and in the period movie “Atonement.” She has recently signed up to be part of the cast of “Last Night”, an adultery drama set in the past but thankfully not in the Victorian era. (I love her Victorian Brit accent...

Dark Knight Grosses More than $500 M The Dark Knight must have been a very good movie that it has already gone past the $500 M mark as of August 31, 2008. Heath Ledger’s death definitely added hype to the movie but the story line and the performance of the other cast led by...
