Mr. Kia Mar 11

My girlfriends don't believe me when I say that chocolate's good for your skin. They think it’s just an excuse for me to binge on chocolates and get fat. But I heard it from Tyra Banks or someone, I'm just not sure how it works. Do I melt some of my favorite Cadbury’s Almond bars and slop the resulting gloop on my face? How often should I do this? Or should I just replace my MAC loose powder with VanHouten's cocoa powder? Decisions, decisions! – Candyfan

Starring: 
James Franco and a great big rock
Directed By: 
Danny Boyle

“I am a rock,” sang Paul Simon, “I am an island.” In climber Aron Ralston’s case, it was a rock that did for his pretence of being an island.Ralston (a supremely convincing James Franco) is the self-involved adrenaline junkie who, in 2003, having told no-one where he was going, spent five days trapped under a boulder in Utah, before freeing himself in extraordinary circumstances. If there’s any spoiler here, it’s not that he gets out—the film is based on the book he wrote about the ordeal—so much as how he managed it.
