Ready for a sweet romantic movie? Me, too! I hope ‘Valentine’s Day’ delivers. It stars a whole bevy of actors, including Bradley Cooper, Anne Hathaway, Julia Roberts, Patrick Dempsey, Jennifer Garner, Ashton Kutcher, George Lopez and Hector Elizondo (thus continuing his deal to land a role in every film directed by Garry Marshall).
The story follows several intertwining couples and singles in Los Angeles as they make up and break up around the mystery that is Valentine’s Day. It’s rated PG-13 for some sexual material and brief partial nudity, and opens in theaters this Friday, Feb. 12, 2010. Here’s a …read more

I saw ‘Edge of Darkness’ this week, and found it to be a great crime-thriller. Does it matter when celebrities act like asses in real life? I’ve been pondering that question, because there’s never any shortage of celebs doing stupid things. Mel Gibson falls into that category. But I still think he’s a great actor.
Here he plays homicide detective Thomas Craven investigating the death of his daughter, whom he discovers worked for a corporation with ties to nuclear weapons. While she didn’t appear to have direct ties to any cover-ups, it’s clear that something is going down. Especially since …read more

A movie with a title like "Hot Tub Time Machine" certainly doesn’t take itself too seriously. The story follows a group of best friends who’ve become bored with their adult lives: Adam (John Cusack) has been dumped by his girlfriend; Lou (Rob Corddry) is a party guy who can’t find the party; Nick’s (Craig Robinson) wife controls his every move; and video game-obsessed Jacob (Clark Duke) won’t leave his basement.

After a crazy night of drinking in a ski resort hot tub, the men wake up, heads pounding, in the year 1986. This is their chance to kick some …read more

Oh, mom. NEVER beep at your kid as they’re going up the school steps and even worse, holler "Have a great day, Sweetie Pie!". That’s not going to earn them any points with the other kids.
The trailer for "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" is playing in front of "Tooth Fairy" right now, and it makes me laugh out loud. Especially when the one kid is trying to get the other kid to chuck a nerdy "Me and My Mommy" T-shirt. "Your mom is trying to get you killed," he says.
"Diary of a Wimpy Kid," in theaters April …read more

“Season of the Witch” looks pretty cool. It stars Nicolas Cage as a 14th century Crusader who returns with his comrade to a homeland devastated by the Black Plague. A church proclaims that sorcery is the culprit of the plague, and thus commands the two knights to transport an accused witch to a remote abbey, where monks will perform a ritual in hopes of ending the plague.
I really hope it’s a winner for Cage, because his slate of movies over the past few years really haven’t fared that well at the box office. On the plus side, it also …read more

I’ve been wondering why there are so many movies about the apocalypse lately. Any thoughts on that? Do people know something we don’t? Is the end of times near? I certainly hope not!
I saw “The Road” a while back and found it utterly depressing. Maybe “The Book of Eli” will be a little more hopeful. That’s a tough challenge when you’re talking about the apocalypse, but it’s got Denzel Washington and Mila Kunis going for it.
Washington stars as a man fighting his way across America in order to protect a sacred book that holds the secrets to saving humankind. The …read more

Here’s the scoop on what’s coming up from Warner Brothers in 2010. There are some great films here, but I’m probably most looking forward to “Sex and the City 2,” “Inception,” and “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1.”  
THE BOOK OF ELI In theatres on January 15 (Alcon/Warner Bros. Pictures)
Directors: The Hughes Brothers Writer: Gary Whitta Producers: Joel Silver, Denzel Washington, Broderick Johnson, Andrew A. Kosove, David Valdes Executive Producers: Steve Richards, Susan Downey, Erik Olsen …read more

The stars shone brightly at the premiere for “Sherlock Holmes,” director Guy Richie’s take on the classic story by Arthur Conan Doyle.
The movie opens in theaters on Dec. 25, 2009, which is a great Christmas present for all of us, with Robert Downey, Jr. in the title role and Jude Law as his assistant John Watson.
Take a look at the stars – they all look quite dashing, don’t they?

My crush on John Krasinski continues as he makes the rounds promoting “It’s Complicated,” the romantic comedy in which he stars with Meryl Streep, Alec Baldwin, and Steve Martin.
Access Hollywood caught up with the star at the movie’s premiere, and he talked about Baldwin’s chest, as well as what it’s like to smoke pot with Streep and Baldwin (just the thought of it sounds like a trip). He’s just so adorable!
“It’s Complicated” hits theaters Dec. 25, 2009.

The stars of “Nine” came out for the London premiere of the movie. The film is about famous director Guido Contini (Daniel Day-Lewis), struggling to find harmony in his professional and personal lives, as he engages in relationships with his wife, his mistress, his muse, his agent, and his mother.
Directed by Rob Marshall, it’s rated PG-13 for sexual content and smoking. Though it’s making the rounds at premieres, the film opens in theaters for the rest of us on Dec. 25, 2009. Here’s Nicole Kidman, Penelope Cruz and Kate Hudson at the premiere.
