Here’s the post for “Salt,” director Philip Noyce’s spy thriller due in theaters July 23, 2010.
Angelina Jolie stars as CIA officer Evelyn Salt, who swore an oath to duty, honor and loyalty – a loyalty that’s seriously tested when a defector accuses her of being a Russian spy. So she goes on the run, using all those CIA skills and experience as a covert operative to elude capture.
What do you think of the poster? She’s got the steely stare down pat, doesn’t she? Oh, those lips!

If you’re not familiar with the theories surrounding the year 2012, there are a lot of them, ranging from the Apocalypse, the return of the aliens, a comet colliding with the earth, sunspots, and other various cataclysmic events.
But some also say the year will signal a spiritual awakening, so maybe it’s not all bad. Check out Armageddon Online for more theories.

Runtime: 96 minutes

MPAA Rating: PG for scary sequences an images
Gecko Rating:

We all know the classic Charles Dickens tale about the crotchety Ebenezer Scrooge who’s visited by three ghosts who make him see the light. There’s really nothing new to tell here, but it’s the WAY the story is told that makes it seem fresh and new in our eyes. This animated, 3D version of “Disney’s A Christmas Carol” does indeed bring new life to the story.
It’s directed by Robert …read more

Movie: Amelia * Official Site
In Theaters: Oct. 23, 2009

Runtime: 111 minutes
Directed by: Mira Nair

MPAA Rating: PG for some sensuality, language, thematic elements and smoking
Gecko Rating:

I’m sort of hot and cold on Hilary Swank. There’s no doubt that she’s a great actress – she’s won two Oscars, after all (for “Million Dollar Baby” and “Boys Don’t Cry”). But there’s something about her that’s just a little annoying. I almost hesitate to say it, but she seemed to be over-acting in her portrayal of Amelia Earhart. I just wanted her to snap out of it and be a real …read more

“The Twilight Saga: New Moon” isn’t even in theaters yet (Nov. 20, 2009), but we’ve got some title art for “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse.”
If you’re not attuned to the whole “Twilight” buzz, that’s the third book/movie in the franchise, and David Slade will direct it.
Stephenie Meyer has certainly taken lots of flack for her writing style, but no one can deny that she has a huge fan base, so more power to her.
Any thoughts on the “Eclipse” title art? It’s a little boring, but I guess they want the titles for all of the movies to be …read more

Miley Cyrus and Kim Cattrall were recently spotted shooting a scene for “Sex and the City 2” (in theaters May 28, 2010), where they turn up for a movie premiere in the same outfit!
The premiere is for a film called “Heart of the Desert,” which appears to star Samantha’s boyfriend, Smith (Jason Lewis). “Sex and the City” designer Patricia Field said the dresses were by Matthew Williamson.
I can’t say I’m all that thrilled about the dresses – they look a little slutty – but I’m loving those boots! And Miley is tall, isn’t she? All grown up…

Movie: The Invention of Lying * Premiere Pics * Official Site
In Theaters: Oct. 2, 2009

Runtime: 99 minutes
Directed by: Ricky Gervais

MPAA Rating: PG-13 for language, including some sexual material and a drug reference
Gecko Rating:

“The Invention of Lying” is a sweet little movie – not particularly funny, but sweet with a nice message: we need to look beyond the surface of people to see what they’re really like inside.
It stars Ricky Gervais, the award-winning creator and star of the original BBC series "The Office" and HBO’s "Extras," as Mark, a down-on-his-luck loser who lives in an alternate reality …read more

Ridley Scott’s “Robin Hood” is due in theaters May 14, 2010. Russell Crowe is already hard at work on “The Next Three Days” with Elizabeth Banks, but here’s a gorgeous little photo to get you psyched for “Robin Hood.”
The movie also stars Cate Blanchett as Maid Marian (of course, she’ll be perfect, even though at one time I thought they might be too old for the characters), Kevin Durand as Little John, William Hurt as William Marshall, and Matthew Macfadyen as the Sheriff of Nottingham.
