Early Buzz: INXS, Jim Carrey and more
How was your weekend? I had a good one and managed to catch several movies, including Before Midnight. (Sorry, but Man of Steel is pretty far down on my "must-see" list.) At the end, I felt terribly sad that I'll have to wait nine years for another one. I also rented Warm Bodies, which is worth a look if you haven't already seen it.
