Cannes 2011 diary: This must be the place to exit .. or is it?
Xan Brooks has witnessed the birth of the cosmos and the end of the world, but Drive gives his engine the boost he needs to get through to the end of the festival
Pity the poor Cannes casualty we spot across the street on the Rue d'Antibes, with his sunburnt brow and harried air, his press pass flapping like a noose around his neck. This idiot doesn't know where he's going; he's out of it; he's almost gone. There is a mirror in the window of the Cannes boutique. It takes a moment to twig that the idiot is me.
The festival is winding down in twists and turns. The Marchй is largely mothballed now and you can spy a smattering of empty seats in the morning screenings. But the films keep coming and won't stop until Sunday.
I decide that Drive is my guilty pleasure of this year's competition.»

‘Mr. Popper’s Penguins’ Trailer
Mr. Popper's Penguins is based on a well-liked kids' book, and so it shouldn't be any surprise at all that the first trailer for the film makes it look like a film that the kids will love (maybe?) and everyone else will doze through. Jim Carrey stars as an uptight New York businessman who is given a bunch of penguins, the better to teach him about living life to the fullest, or something along those lines. Check out the trailer, which comes complete with a Carrey/penguin performance of 'Ice Ice Baby,' after the break.Jim Carrey looks appropriately harried here; Carla Gugino does some Olympic-level frowning as his disapproving wife, and Clark Gregg, as a zookeeper who wants the penguins, looks more or less like S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Coulson in a different uniform. If you're not into the film but get stuck watching it anyway, just think of it»
