Jessica Chastain’s career as an actress has taken one hell of an interesting turn since Terrance Malick cast her in “The Tree Of Life.” The highs since then have been legendary – especially “Zero Dark Thirty.” She’s also taken respectable backseats in the well-received comedy “The Help” and the...

Markie Mark Takes On The Mayor Of New York City In “Broken City”
