For actors like Nicoye Banks, landing parts in big screen films is always a blessing. But to have two different, high profile films out in the same time period -- for different audiences-- is amazing.

The New Orleans native, whose previous films include 'G' with Blair Underwood, and 'Invincible' with Mark Walhberg, is currently in theaters with 'Brooklyn's Finest' opposite Wesley Snipes and Don Cheadle and will be featured opposite Matt Damon in 'The Green Zone.'

Directed by Paul Greengrass, the film centers on a U.S. Army officer (played by Damon), who upon discovering covert and faulty intelligence, goes rogue as he hunts for Weapons of Mass Destruction in an unstable region. Banks is an soldier in Damon's unit.

In the romantic drama "Remember Me," 'Twilight's Robert Pattinson plays Tyler, a rebellious young man in New York City who has a strained relationship with his father (played by Pierce Brosnan) ever since tragedy separated their family. Tyler didn't think anyone could possibly understand what he was going through until the day he met Ally (played by Emilie de Ravin) through an unusual twist of fate. Love was the last thing on his mind, but as her spirit unexpectedly heals and inspires him, he begins to fall for her. Through their love, he begins to find happiness and meaning in his life. Soon, hidden secrets are revealed, tragedy lingers in the air, as the circumstances that brought them together threaten to tear them apart.

Set in the summer of 2001, 'Remember Me' is an unforgettable story about the power of love, the strength of family, and the importance of living passionately and treasuring every day of one's life.

In a film that stars Don Cheadle, Richard Gere, Ethan Hawke, and Wesley Snipes, one of the scene stealers of Antoine Fuqua's 'Brooklyn's Finest' is actress Shannon Kane.

The Kalamazoo, MI native is also seen on the daytime soap, 'All My Children, playing Jesse Hubbard's daughter and police officer Natalia.

In 'Finest,' three unconnected Brooklyn cops wind up at the same deadly location after enduring vastly different career paths.

Kane plays who a hooker involved with Gere's character.

Now that the Academy Awards are over, Oscar nominee Gabourey Sidibe will be heading to the small screen as the Brooklyn, New York native is set to star opposite Laura Linney and Oliver Platt in the dark comedy series, 'The Big C' for the Showtime network.

Set in the Connecticut suburbs, the half-hour series stars Linney as Cathy, a repressed suburban wife and mother who reclaims her life after a terminal cancer diagnosis. Platt will play her immature, but well-meaning husband.

Sidibe, who was nominated for her role in Lee Daniels' 'Precious: Based on the Novel 'Push' by Sapphire,' will play a smart-alecky student in Cathy's class.

The day after the Academy Awards ceremony was over, while some folks were talking about 'The Hurt Locker' and its win over 'Avatar' for Best Picture, a lot of attention was being paid over the odd moment when Roger Ross Williams was rudely interrupted on stage by Elinor Burkett as he accepted the Oscar for Best Documentary (Short Subject) for 'Music by Prudence.'

Both sides are blaming each other for the fiasco. In an interview given to Salon.com, Burkett, who produced 'Prudence,' stated: "The director and I had a bad difference over the direction of the film that resulted in a lawsuit that has settled amicably out of court. But there have been all these events around the Oscars, and I wasn't invited to any of them. And he's not speaking to me. So we weren't even able to discuss ahead of the time who would be the one person allowed to speak if we won. And then, as I'm sure you saw, when we won, he raced up there to accept the award. And his mother took her cane and blocked me. So I couldn't get up there very fast. I felt my role in this has been denigrated again and again, and it wasn't going to happen this time."

Paramount Pictures has just released a full trailer to 'Iron Man 2.'

With the world now aware of his dual life as the armored superhero Iron Man, billionaire inventor Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) faces pressure from the government, the press, and the public to share his technology with the military. Unwilling to let go of his invention, Stark, along with Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow), and James "Rhodey" Rhodes (Don Cheadle) at his side, must forge new alliances -- and confront powerful enemies.

With 10 films nominated this year for Best Picture, and 'Avatar,' and 'The Hurt Locker' leading the pack, the other nominees haven't been a factor in the race. Could there be a shocker in the making come Sunday night when awards are announced?

The 82nd annual Academy Awards will air on March 7 at 8 p.m. EST (5 p.m. PST) and broadcast live from Los Angeles on ABC.
