Eva Mendes stars in the drama-comedy Girl in Progress, now available on DVD and Blu-ray. In the movie, Mendes plays a single mom trying to juggle her job, bills and an affair with a married man… her daughter is of lower priority.

Joe: Rise of Cobra). Joseph Gordon-Levitt is one of the most talented actors working today, and while he has yet to earn an Academy Award nomination, it’s only a matter of time.
With The Dark Knight Rises still plugging along and the Gordon-Levitt-starring Premium Rush in theaters this week, now is a perfect time to look at the accomplished actor’s best movies.
