If you're looking for the best sedan in its class, look no further than the American-made 2014 Chevy Impala. Consumer Reports rates Chevrolet's latest Impala sedan as the top choice of other similar models.
"The Impala's performance is one more indicator of an emerging domestic renaissance," Jake Fisher, director of Consumer Reports automotive testing, says in a statement. "We've seen a number of redesigned American models --including the Chrysler 300, Ford Escape and Fusion, and Jeep Grand Cherokee -- deliver world-class performance in our tests."
The 2014 Chevy Impala scored 95 points out of a possible 100, which is impressive considering that the outgoing 2013 Chevy Impala scored only 63. Not only did the Impala get No. 1 among similar sedans, beating out the likes of the Audi A6 and Lexus Ls 460 L, but it also earned the third-highest score overall from Consumer Reports.
So why did the Impala get its high rating? It averages 22 miles per gallon...

Hugh Jackman has been cast in a new suspense film called Six Years, which is based on the upcoming novel by Harlan Coben. Jackman was recently nominated for an Oscar for his role in Les Miserables, which he was great in. He recently finished The Wolverine, and will also be reprising his role in Bryan Singer's X-Men: Days of Future.
Six Years centers on a character named Jake Fisher, "who watched the love of his life, Natalie, marry another man. Six years have passed when Jake comes across the other man's obituary. He resolves to attend the funeral, hoping to catch a glimpse of Natalie. But the mourning widow is not Natalie, throwing all of his past memories with the woman into question."

After some new photos from The Wolverine surfaced yesterday, with the promise of the first trailer finally arriving on March 27th, THR says Hugh Jackman is going to take a break from action with a new dramatic adaptation of Harlan Coben's novel Six Years, which just hit shelves today. With no writer or director attached at this point, this kind of announcement seems timed to simply sell more books, but if Jackman sticks with the project being produced by former Fox head Tom Rothman, he would play a man named Jake Fisher whose heart was broken as he watched the love of his life, Natalie, marry another man. Six years later, still heartbroken, Jake comes across this other man's obituary. Hoping to see Natalie, he attends the funeral, but has another surprise waiting for him. From the official synopsis for the book: Whoever the mourning widow is, she’s...

He may not have scored an Oscar for Les Misérables, but very little wipes the smile off Hugh Jackman’s face (and, let’s be honest, getting nominated for a Golden Baldie is no mean feat). He’s been throwing himself into work as Logan in The Wolverine recently, but appears ready for a change of gear in the future, planning to star in an adaptation of Harlan Coben’s upcoming book Six Years.Coben’s work, which usually ends up on bestseller lists, has only been adapted for the screen once before with Tell No One. Now Paramount has won a bidding war for the new title, which follows Jake Fisher, who loses the love of his life, Natalie, to another man. In a twisty, mind-itching plot that definitely feels of a piece with the other adaptation, Jake reads the man’s obituary six years later and attends the funeral hoping to see Natalie.

While everyone is busy being excited about the new Wolverine images and trailer release date that we got today, Wolverine himself, Hugh Jackman, has lined up another project. This time he’ll be starring in Six Years, an adaptation of Harlan Coben’s novel of the same name.
The book actually doesn’t even hit shelves until tomorrow, but it’s obviously pretty good if there’s already an adaptation in the works, especially considering Coben isn’t John Grisham or any of the other authors who get every novel adapted. In fact, Coben has only had one novel turned into a film, Tell No One, which was made by French filmmaker Guillaume Canet.
This book tells the story of Jake Fisher, a man who suffered through watching the love of his life marry another man. Six years later Jake sees the other man’s obituary and resolves to attend...

In addition to the Les Miserables box office run that ran through the new year, the Aussie star earned a Best Actor nomination at the Academy Awards for his performance as Jean Valjean, started production on the Denis Villeneuve-directed thriller Prisoners, and has the first trailer for The Wolverine coming out at the end of the month. He'll soon start production on X-Men: Days of Future Past, but he also continues to fill out his future slate as well, and today has added a new thriller to the list. Jackman is now attached to star in Six Years, a new thriller based on the upcoming novel by author Harlan Coben.

Though an accomplished, best selling author with a shelf full of titles to his name, only one book by Harlan Coben has made it to the big screen -- Guillaume Canet's adaptation of "Tell No One." Not a bad start at all (though an American remake by Ben Affleck is brewing), and now another one of his works is headed down the film path, with a pretty big star attached. Hugh Jackman is set to star in "Six Years," with the movie being set up over at Paramount, and it definitely has strong shades of "Tell No One." The story follows Jake Fisher, who sees Natalie, the love of his life, marry someone else. Six years later, he learns that the man she married passed away, and he heads to the funeral to try catch a glimpse of Natalie one more time. But the widow by the grave isn't her at all,...
