Please Meet Valbona Coba
Our new Publicity Photos Self-Service feature allows agents and other authorized representatives to quickly and easily submit their client's headshot and gallery photos to the IMDb! Valbona Coba's agent sent this shot (which we actually prefer) and then realized that they wanted a different presentation (to your left). The system ensures faster response time and the satisfaction of seeing your submission online before it is sent to our photo editors (but if you do change it, as they did, it is an additional fee). Go to your client's page, click on the "Primary Photo Not Submitted" image to start this simple process or head directly to the IMDb Publicity Photos purchase pipeline.

IMDb Movie of the Day
If you didn't know it with indie flick My New Gun, art-house fave A Walk on the Moon or sleek adultery thriller Unfaithful, then by the end of Under the Tuscan Sun you'll know that Diane Lane, she of the face that can convey a panorama of emotions in mere seconds, is one of the best American actresses working today. A lightweight comedy-drama grounded by its leading lady, Under the Tuscan Sun gives Lane a chance (finally) to excel at comedy, a gift which hasn't been on display since... well, pretty much not since Lane's film debut 25 years ago in A Little Romance. A story of a woman, a house and the Northern Italian countryside, the movie was based on Frances Mayes' runaway bestseller, a memoir that was more about the wonder that is Tuscany and less a standard three-act story fit for film. Alas, Hollywood dictated the necessity of an actual storyline, and writer-director Audrey Wells obliged by grafting a standard divorced-woman-finding-herself tale onto Mayes' ode to all things Italian. Happily, Wells' "fleshing out" was the exception to the sentimental rule, and the additional characters she created to co-exist alongside Lane are all polite, friendly, engaging company who wisely never overstay their welcome. But it's Lane who will hold your focus for the entire film, and her performance both honors the conventions of the screenplay and mocks them ever so gently, giving a surprising amount of heart to this modern-day fairy tale. - Mark Englehart (more) (Movie of the Day Archive)

Awards Photos and More in Road to the Oscars
As we inexorably approach February 27th and the 77th Academy Awards™ it's instructive to look back and think where we've been. Now that Million Dollar Baby is becoming the odds-on favorite in several categories--including the once "reserved for Martin Scorsese" Best Director award as well as the once "reserved for Annette Bening" Best Actress award--return to yesteryear, okay, last month to a time when life was simpler and The Aviator was going to win by default. Also, check out the results of our glorious, user-picked Best of 2004 poll and the not so glorious Worst of 2004 poll. It's all in our Road to the Oscars section, presented this year by Kotex.
