DeNiro's brainchild, back for round 9

Tickets to the 2010 Tribeca Film Festival went on sale for American Express cardholders yesterday; downtown residents can snap up the remainders on Sunday, and as for the rest of you plebians, well, you'll just have to cross your fingers and wait until Monday. I'm hoping to score seats at one or more of the following: Gainsbourg, Je T'aime ... Moi Non Plus (a biopic of French singer Serge Gainsbourg, starring Laetitia Casta as mistress Brigette Bardot), Sons of Perdition (a documentary about breaking free of a polygamist cult), William Vincent (starring the ever-talented and swoon-worthy James Franco), and Heartbreaker (a French romantic comedy about the business of breaking hearts, starring Johnny Depp's baby mama, Vanessa Paradis). Those of you cursed to live somewhere other than New York need not despair: starting April 21, 15 of the festival's films will be available on demand, in the comfort of your own home.
