Whenever I think of Gerard Butler, I automatically think of him being all intense and toga-ish as King Leonidas in "300," but he can hold his own in a romantic movie, as evidenced in "P.S. I Love You" and "Nim’s Island."

He’s the perfect foil for Katherine Heigl in “The Ugly Truth,” a romantic comedy about a chauvinistic reporter who gets involved with a romantically challenged morning show producer.

Directed by Robert Luketic, the movie is rated R for sexual content and language, and hits theaters July 24, 2009. Check out the trailers here and here, and watch the latest TV spot below.

What if video games merged with real life? With a teen and a tween in the house, I sort of feel like that describes my life. But this movie – "Gamer" – is way darker than my household.

It’s a sci-fi action flick starring Gerard Butler ("300"), Michael C. Hall ("Dexter"), and Milo Ventimiglia ("Heroes"). Directed by "Crank" and "Crank: High Voltage" helmers Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor, the story is set in a futuristic world where humans can control other humans like an online game.

Rated R for frenetic sequences of strong brutal violence throughout, sexual content, nudity and language, "Gamer" hits theaters Sept. 4, 2009. Check out the trailer below. Think you’ll see this movie?

Motion posters are all the rage now, and Lionsgate has just released one for "Gamer" (formerly known as "Citizen Game"), the upcoming sci-fi action flick starring Gerard Butler ("300"), Michael C. Hall ("Dexter"), and Milo Ventimiglia ("Heroes").

Sounds awesome, not only because of the cast, but also because it’s directed by "Crank" and "Crank: High Voltage" helmers Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor.

The movie is set in a futuristic world that’s more like a video game than the world we know now – i.e. humans can control other humans like an online game. Yikes. Better pull the kids off "World of Warcraft" before things get out of control!

Adorable Katherine Heigl and Gerard Butler star in “The Ugly Truth,” a romantic comedy about a chauvinistic reporter who gets involved with a romantically challenged morning show producer. I like both of these actors, so I’m hoping they make some sparks onscreen (even though I can’t help but think of him as King Leonidas in the very non-romantic 300).

Directed by Robert Luketic, the movie snagged an R rating for sexual content and language, and hits theaters July 24, 2009. Check out the trailer and see what you think…

I’m such a sucker for romantic comedies, and the good ones can be so fun and uplifting. Plus, I really like Katherine Heigl, and we’ll see how much chemistry she has with Gerard Butler in “The Ugly Truth.”

Heigl stars as a romantically challenged morning show producer who’s reluctantly embroiled in a series of outrageous tests by her chauvinistic correspondent (Butler). I keep thinking this is a remake of an old classic movie. Where’s my classic movie buffs out there? 

See what you think of the trailer. Looks fun, doesn’t it?
