Leaves Of Grass On Saturday Night - 03/26/11 08:49 PM
Leaves Of Grass On Saturday Night Ed Norton once again gives a stellar performance, (does he ever give anything else), in the movie 'Leaves Of Grass'. Ed plays both parts as twin brothers, is backed by Richard Dreyfuss and Susan Sarandon and he is also one of the producers.
