]]> It’s not often that the words “I [heart] someone” spring to mind, but that’s exactly what I thought about “Nobel Son.” Specifically, I [heart] Alan Rickman. One of my favorite roles of his was in “Quigley Down Under” – he played the bad guy to Tom Selleck’s good guy. Anyway, here’s the trailer for “Nobel Son,” a movie about family dysfunction and the Nobel Prize. It’s due in theaters Dec. 5, 2008 (though the movie’s been in the hopper for a couple of years).
