Joe Manganiello hit the red carpet for the Style Awards in NYC on Wednesday night looking, well, not like himself. Joe arrived at the event with designer John Varvatos but without his famous facial hair - and we have to admit: we almost didn't recognize him! The True Blood star did away with his manly mustache and silver-flecked beard and somehow looks years younger. Joe may have gotten rid of the scruff as a way of mourning the HBO show after news broke this week that it will be going off the air after its seventh season. Just last month he was spotted at a rugby match in Sydney with a much more rugged look (see below). Whatever the reason, we think the new look fits Joe pretty well. What do you think of Joe's clean-shaven face?...

Chicago – One of the nice surprises of the Chicago International Film Festival was the opening night presence of a true Chicago-based film. “The Last Rites of Joe May” stars Dennis Farina as an aging small-time hood, taken in by single mother Jenny Rapp, portrayed by Jamie Anne Allman. The production was directed with sublime power by Joe Maggio.
Allman and Maggio were at the festival, circulating opening night and sitting down for interviews the next day. The film uses the city of Chicago as a character, but you won’t see Wrigley Field or the skyline. What you will see is the bitter winter on streets where people like Joe May live and survive.
HollywoodChicago.com got to talk with both Allman and Maggio, and got their keen insight into this excellent Chicago-based film.

Dennis Farina is currently starring in the film "The Last Rites of Joe May," a drama about a small-time Chicago hustler who finds a shot at redemption when he meets a young woman and her six-year-old daughter.
He's also set to co-star alongside Dustin Hoffman and Nick Nolte in the new HBO series "Luck," set in the world of horseracing. "Luck" won't air until January 2012, but Zap2it recently talked to Farina about the show, "The Last Rites of Joe May" and what he does in his spare time (hint: it may or may not involve the track.)
Zap2it: Tell us about your character in the 'Last Rites of Joe May.'
Joe May is somebody whose time has come and gone but he doesn't think so. He refuses to accept that. He thinks he's the sharpest thing but everyone knows it's over for him. He thinks he's vital...

Let's face it 2009 was not such a great year for movies – at least mainstream releases anyway. There were so many films that promised to tease, tantalize or entertain us with their fancy looking trailers and the end results where less than stellar. Genre films appear to be the biggest draws at the box office with stories that focus on battles between good and evil. Represented by one or several antagonists or villains, evil within a story can often be more fascinating than good. A good villain has the power to outshine the hero with his intelligence, quick wit or twisted philosophy. Unfortunately there also seems to be an equal number of terrible villains in films. They say a film is only as good as its villain and a poorly developed villain can also ruin a picture. Sometimes it's due to bad writing, other times it is the fault of the actor.
