Italian actor and director, Nanni Moretti, has been named as the president of the jury at the 65th Cannes Film Festival.

Having recently been underwhelmed and baffled by Garry Marshall's latest flick, New Year's Eve, a film that was full to the brim with A-Listers doing nothing for two hours, it got me thinking.
