Ryan Gosling in Radius-TWC's 'Only God Forgives'

“Only God Forgives” but Cannes audiences don’t.

Despite the fact that Ryan Gosling and director Nicholas Winding Refn’s first film together “Drive” received rave reviews and had everyone excited for their second collaboration, “Only God Forgives,” that early good buzz has been replaced with boos.

“Drive” earned Refn the Best Director award from the Cannes Film Fest’s jury in 2011, but it doesn’t appear that his equally violent follow-up will follow suit. According to those present at the film’s screenings on Wednesday, audience reactions to “Only God Forgives” were less than enthusiastic.

Greta Gerwig in IFC Films' 'Frances Ha'

While bromances flourish – doctors, racecar drivers and superheroes bond regularly -- memorable movies about best girlfriends are a rare species. But in that environment, “Frances Ha,” the brilliant black-and-white comic collaboration between star-writer Greta Gerwig (“To Rome with Love”) and writer-director Noah Baumbach (“Greenberg”), is a game-changer.

Best friends since college, happy-go-lucky Frances (Gerwig) and roommate Sophie (Mickey Sumner), now in their late twenties, share the same bed and the same inside jokes. Frances quips that they are like an old lesbian couple without the sex.

It's expected to go for about $90,000.

More amazing than the expected price is the manner in which the watch was discovered. The U.K.'s Independent reports that several years ago, a bargain hunter spotted the timepiece at a yard sale. It was purchase for less than $40.

For the third and final chapter of the record-breaking R-rated comedy franchise “The Hangover," the original gang has been assembled for one last raucous romp. Zach Galifianakis, Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms, Ken Jeong, Heather Graham and even baby Tyler (or Carlos, so named by Galifianakis’s character Alan).

People magazine reports that Tyler, who in 2009 was played mostly by baby brother-sister twins Grant and Avery Holmquist, is all grown up now and a fun part of the story in the third film. This time around, Tyler is played only by Grant, who at age 4 at the time of filming, won the role despite an initial casting call for 6-year-old actors.

When asked about the choice, director Todd Phillips told HitFix that he "had to” use the original kiddo in the part because everyone loved the bond between Alan and Tyler/Carlos in the first “Hangover” movie. In writing that scene Phillips said he knew the reunion would play well for the audience.

Rain at Cannes (Photo: Venturelli/WireImage)The first sign things weren't going right at the Cannes Film Festival in France this year – a high-dollar jewelry heist.

From then on, the annual French Riviera fete that usually oozes glamour, riches, bikinis, and (oh yeah) cinema, has endured a growing list of unprecedented and even shocking setbacks.

Guns have been drawn, dresses drenched, and body parts have been exposed.

5. Horrible Weather

Stars have been taking shelter and hiding under umbrellas during what's usually a lot of high-end fun in the sun. "The Great Gatsby" seemed to catch the brunt of the gray, wet weather as Leonardo DiCaprio,

Armie Hammer & Johnny Depp in Walt Disney Pictures' 'The Lone Ranger'

"The Lone Ranger": the summer's biggest thrill, or its biggest headache?

The charming character nuances of previous trailers for Disney's Wild West extravaganza are tossed into the ravine in favor of all action, all the time in the latest look at the big-screen extravaganza "from the team that brought you the 'Pirates of the Caribbean' logo."

Really, Johnny Depp isn't allowed to spew one single wise n' witty quip as Tonto and the Lone Ranger (Armie Hammer) ride (and sometimes seemingly fly) their horses through a maelstrom of chases, explosions, fisticuffs, gunfights, and the occasional cutaway to some random bit of dialogue ("He's coming for you" says someone, referring to someone, God only knows who). Really, John Reid is dead and resurrected within the first handful of seconds, and from there it's the wildest vision of the West that $250 million can buy.
