ben styler y sean penn soÑan con aventuras, cuando su amor secreto se vean en peligro real deberÁ pasar una desesperada huida, algo que no hubiera sido posible sin la ayuda de un aldeano afgano. >>> esta pelÍcula cambiÓ su punto de vista, fui a afganistÁn, conocÍ a mucha gente extraordinaria, y marcus estÁ vivo porque mohamed arriesgÓ su vida para salvarlo. nos dice que la ley de atracciÓn se manifesto, habÍa leido el libro cuando me llegÓ la propuesta, fue algo bonito, me sentÍ honrado. >>> sabes, son como nosotros, son capaces de hacer cosas que la mayorÍa no podria hacer, tambiÉn son alegres, tenemos la idea que son gente seria, pero nos divertimos mucho cuando entrenamos junto a ellos. >>> julia roberts protagoniza esta historia en que una madre se reÚne con motivo del funeral del padre, el reencuentro le harÍa vivir todo los reproches del pasado. >>> tambiÉn en estreno un grupo de samurai que intenta vengarse del maestro. y esta Última es un cortavenas. pensÉ que lo habÍa visto todo, seguro que se lleva el oscar. >>> la pelÍcula mÁs vista en navidad. >>> gracias. >>> y a continuaci

one of these negatives that he supposed to take care of to get sent by sean o'connell - who sean pennive integrity and does not have a cell phone. he sent one photo to walter, this should be the cover of the last issue. walter cannot find it. he is forced to go out of the world and find the negative and take a chance he is never taken before. >> guess who he takes with him. >> who? he takes cheryl. she is his muse. trying to connect with her. an aspect of himself that he has suppressed down and not dealt with. >> this directing thing is something you like. >> it is my favorite thing in the world. >> because of control? >> well, maybe. it's about creating a movie. you have more control i think overall than you do as an actor. as an actor, you do not want to have too much control. you do not want to be thinking that way. a different way of thinking. directing is more stepping back and analytical. >> my sense is you are different from a lot of people that wants to direct because they said what i am doing as an actor may not be too hot a few years from now. therefore, i will have this oth

sean penn and shirley mclean. andthis has some buzz. some people are bored by it and some people think it's the best movie of the year. and also in that drama category so far a movie i saw teluride. and we have the cullen brothers inside lou and davis. it's losely based on the folk scene. at the edge o end of the 1950s. it looks unusual for the cohen brothers. and i like what ben said about "nebraska". it's a really rough first act but the second acted is really terrific and interesting portrait of america. and i hope bruce durn gist gets a nomination. >> definitely oscar worthy. >> let's talk about comedies. >> for obvious reasons. i wasn't a fan of anchorman i i suppose i won't be a fan of anchorman ii. that is a movie i didn't hear anyone clamoring for. >> i don't know if you are right about that. you should talk to our staff they all wanted a anchorman ii. the marketing has become per pervasive and highly annoying. >> ben you wanted to say something. anchorman was an interesting movie. i couldn't have laughed harder. i i shuts must

but i think these guys do themself a disservice, sean penn, ben afleck, half of the country is conservative and when you talk like that you alienate others. but have an opinion. state your opinion. i would like to know where you stand on stuff. >> the interesting thing is, andrea, and a lot of the opinions, this is not an original thought for me, but it is an add less ebt kind of thinking -- adolescent kind of thinking because they weren't involved in anything except coming famous and now they feel guilty and they go to crusade on issues and they are like a freshman in college. >> well they pride themself -- a little bit of knowledge -- sophomores, the definition of sophomoric. and this was poses to ben afleck and so he is looking at people in his own domain and say i probably won't like them. and to answer your question, eric, i think republicans are for giving. i don't think ben afleck is that great. connie britain, she's on nashville. >> i went to africa with her. we met at jfk and we get on there, i didn't know who she was and she didn't know who i was and -- >> now you are living toget

but here's the thing, i think these guys do themselves a disservice, sean penn, ben afleck. anyone that's an actor. half the country is red. and when you talk like that you alienate your potential audience. but i'm all for it. free speech. knock yourself out. have an opinion. i don't care if actors or athletes have an opinion. state your opinion. i like to know where you stand on stuff. >> the interesting thing is a lot of their opinions, this is not an original thought from me. it's an adolescent thinking because they weren't involved in anything except becoming famous so now they feel guilty and now they go to crusade on issues. >> they think they're intellectuals. just a little bit of knowledge makes them think -- that's the definition of sophomoric. he is looking at people in his own domain and in his own industry and saying i probably wouldn't like them. well, okay, i actually think to answer your question, republicans are a bit more forgiving. i don't think ben afleck is that great of an actor. i still have watched his movies. connie briton who is a huge raging liberal

. >> sean penn starring in it. what about christian wade. she's a funny lady. >> she is but restrained here. not funny enough. >> i'm not a big fan on this one so i'll pass on that. finally we get to a couple of movies starring a couple of best actress oscar winners. we have meryl streep playing julia roberts' mother. here's a peek. >> i thought the services were lovely. >> nobody talks about the good stuff. >> she takes pills, valium, zanax. >> what about that stunt she pulled? she smuggled a bottle of dar vow set in her purse. >> you want to search me? >> no. >> it's not all bright in families and movies. this is definitely the case in "august: osage county." >> but it's oscar time. you have to have a meryl streep. >> what is behind this dark comedy? >> it's based on a pull diser and tony winning -- pulitzer and tony winning prize play. the death of a father. meryl streep is the mother, the three daughters and their various significant others come back and there's also tension because she's been a tough woman to live with. >> they had some

. >> another one is sean penn. >> i don't cover sean penn.iah la where -- venezuela. >> do you think the celebrities is more leftist or more vocal, like a closet group of republican celebrities out there? >> more leftist than abc news? >> why? >> i think it's because people want to do what their peers do and be comfortable. but also they, like we, they get a paycheck. most of them have never tried to build anything. rob snyder, the actor, tried to start a business, life long democrat. he said i'm leaving california. the laws are terrible. >> and john lovett tried to open up a store and he saw all the regulations. it was backlash to him. >> also they're good looking. maybe they got a job through a lucky audition. they think life is run by luck and therefore -- >> they feel guilty. i got to give stallone and the rock credit because both of them don't get behind causes and they shoot people in movies. >> a couple of the lefties live the life, like ed begley, junior. >> he bikes to new york, i think. >> he means it. catch it all tonight on "stoss

i can actually understand that because i have a hard time watching sean penn." on dvd, and i cannot watch it. his job is make-believe, he can make believe anything else but he cannot make believe the role of the other person. it is really ridiculous. an epiphany a funny in politics. we will see. stuart: our next guest says the republican party still has a minority problem. joining us now, editor of the blog conservative black chick. may i call you a conservative black chick without being offensive? >> why, yes you may, stuart. stuart: people of color who don't vote republican at this point, that is a statement of fact. what should republicans do about it? >> republicans had to get into the communities where blacks are living and be unafraid to take the conservative message to black americans. let's not forget black americans voted republican consistently after slavery ended from reconstruction up through prior to the civil rights act being passed when johnson was president. that is when the black vote went off the cliff. we all know the reason romney lost and o

it is a terrific place, sean penn, bill murray, christopher walken, a few there also.ears. >> it is not 25 around the world, and extraordinary grand. tracy: you see all these things. i read you don't call yourself a food and wine expert, you are a historian. >> i do believe in understanding where you came from and how the world has changed. in new york, generational the, danny myers, we had a lot to do with that. tracy: we are talking about wine and crushed wine and spirits but what has changed when someone sits down and says i want to buy a bottle? >> what has changed is the intimidation factor is. people were very uncertain about their knowledge of wine, the prices of wine were very high. the way we compete now is by trying to to infer a great value in the purchase of wine whether it is in a store or restaurant because wines tend to be expensive for us to purchase and the markups used to be two or three times so people that are savvy, on the internet, you can just click on and see what you paid in comparison with where you could get it elsewhere for a less. tracy: pe

an important negative, leads to tracking down an exstin trick -- eccentric photographer played by sean pennily with this -- the problem with this film, walter's fantasies are not specific. the cinematography is beautiful but not the film. badly directed. here's movies i hope people will see right now, "american hustle," "frozen" for the entire family and wonderful, ma dina mansell is a fantastic singer. wonderful, wonderful "frozen." "saving mr. banks," a beautiful movie. "philomena," see why judi dench is going to get nominated this year. a few movies to see right now and don't forget about nebraska, that is -- "nebraska," that is an unusual film. >> which one is your favorite? >> i think "nebraska" right now. "nebraska" is really my favorite film and i'm married to a guy from iowa and even he loved it. it's really a great film. you got to wait for 10 minutes, kind of get into it and once you're in it, it's funny, it's better than you would think it would be and everybody is saying to me, they are stopping me on the street and saying it's so much funnier than i thought it would be. the oth

and one of these negatives that he's supposed to take care of gets sent by sean o'connell which is a character that shawn pennho's a great international photographer. >> yes, who's a very -- a lot of creative integrity and still shoots on film and doesn't have a cell phone. >> rose: but has disappeared. >> yes. he sends one photo to walter "this should be the cover of the last issue." and wanter can't find it. so he's sort of forced to go out into the world and find sean and find the negative and sort of take a chance he's never taken before in his life. >> rose: and guess who he takes with him? >> well -- who? (laughs) >> rose: in his head. >> yes, he takes cheryl with him kristen's character and she is the motivation of his muse so it's him trying to really connect with her and in doing so trying to connect with himself like an aspect of thaipls he sort of pressed down over the years and not dealt with. >> rose: this directing thing is something you like. >> yeah, i love it. it's my favorite thing in the world to do. >> because of sdplol >> well, maybe. i think directing is about sort of creating you're cre
