New York — Al Pacino, energized by a conversation that has inevitably turned to the intricacies of acting, is snapping his fingers.
"When you get me on the acting trail, I get on that train," he says, punctuating what he calls an improvised "thesis on time" with staccato snaps.
The 72-year-old may be gray-haired and a little worn, but he remains, like a dancer, always on his toes, and still enamored of the "crazy, crazy, crazy thing" that is acting: "You're always looking for what's going to feed you, what's going to feed the spirit and get you going."
And Pacino is still getting going. Yet the subject of time – how much is needed to find a character (years in some cases, he says) and how it dictates the parts he chooses now – played a large role in a recent interview with the actor at the Waldorf Astoria in New York.

It would be reasonable to assume that, given the time and effort to make a full length feature, most films would actually make it to the silver screen, or at least the silver disc. But some, for a variety of reasons, don't make it that far, and either sulk in the film cans where they now reside or have been destroyed.
Here are ten movies that either have no cinema release date, or little prospect of getting one.
A Thousand Words (2010)
This is yet another of those amazingly poor career choices that Eddie Murphy makes on a regular basis, when he's not coining it being a donkey. The movie is supposedly completed but has no release date yet (save for IMDb suggesting it's coming out in Argentina in...
