In The Boys Are Back, opening today, Clive Owen plays a macho sportswriter living in Australia and raising two sons on his own after his wife dies. Though the content of the movie sounds like a downer, the South Australian setting is sure to be uplifting. It even sounds like The Boys Are Back could be the next Sideways. Take a look at the fabulous wine country that serves as the movie's background and judge for yourself.

Owen... Clive Owen. The "Children of Men" star poses at the Berlin Film Festival. Owen was there for the premiere of his new thriller "The International," costarring Naomi Watts, about a global bank which is sucking up all the stimulus money. Just kidding!

While the Berlinale, held through Feb. 15, runs counter to the American screening-and-award season, the fest can still turn up some gems. Highlights of this year's Berlinale include the Nick Hornby-scripted coming-of-age tale "An Education," which garnered raves at Sundance, plus Best Foreign Film nominee "The Baader Meinhof Complex" and the new British terrorist drama "London River." Tickets to most films, which are held at 35 venues all around the city, are €8,50 ($10.90) plus a €1,50 booking fee online (boo!). And yes, there is child care.
