Mickey Rourke, one of Hollywood's most rugged and volatile stars, recently sat down with Moviefone to discuss his "Immortals" role, his tumultuous relationship with Hollywood and director Darren Aronofsky. Moviefone asks, "Would you make another movie with Darren Aronofsky?" to which Rourke replies, "He is a sonofabitch."

L.A.'s Rodarte Designs Killer Costumes For 'Black Swan'
Darren Aronofsky's nine-year-old Grimm brainchild Black Swan is finally being released to the world on December 3. Brutal and beautiful, the film is a visually stunning journey of a not very pretty sight, the gory gorgeousness reaching its pinnacle with the ballet costumes -- particularly the glorious black swan costume -- designed by L.A.'s own Laura and Kate Mulleavy of the much celebrated line, Rodarte.
DVD Tuesday: Pull my Crank!
Ever since seeing Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, I've thought that Jason Statham had a great screen presence.

Homicide is a superb example of what a great writer David Mamet used to be before he descended into a parody of himself (State and Main, too!)
