Film Title: "Gone"
Starring: Amanda Seyfried

Amanda Seyfried is best known for her her roles in light-hearted movies like "Mean Girls" and "Mamma Mia!" but has recently taken a turn to prove herself as a more serious actress. With the disasterous "In Time"--in which she starred alongside Justin Timberlake-- as the most recent movie under her belt, "Gone" will prove whether Seyfried has the chops to take on high-intensity roles.

Greg Kinnear stars as a conniving insurance agent who in turn is blackmailed by a deranged locksmith. Set against the snow-covered backwoods of Wisconsin, the film's quirky, dark comedic tones could prove to make a surprise hit for Kinnear.

Album Title: "Some Nights"
Artist: fun.

While their first album, 2010's "Aim and Ignite," identifies their signature theatrical indie-pop style, it is their follow-up that will prove if the band has staying power. Hopefully, they remain as "fun" as their name suggests.
