Julia Roberts Has Cleaned My Glasses One More Time Than She’s Won An Oscar!
The red carpet the other night for the Tom Hanks was a glitzy one indeed. No big surprise, right? The man is so likable he makes Nelson Mandela look like an ass. So yes, the list of big name talent walking the carpet was long but for me two names stood out: Charlize Theron and [...]
‘Star Trek’ Star Zachary Quinto Touts Swine Flu Defense Strategy
Spock usually doesn’t worry in “Star Trek,” because worry is an emotion, and neither does actor Zachary Quinto — at least when it comes to Swine Flu.
The virus may be causing theater closings in Mexico, possibly affecting opening week for “X-Men Origins: Wolverine,” but he is unfazed. Quinto, who replaces Leonard Nimoy as Star [...]

UCB Group Parodies ‘Twilight’ With Cheeseburgers
Technically we should be done with parodies of the first “Twilight” movie. The sequel is coming out later this year, and comic video-makers should be concentrating on lampooning “New Moon,” regardless of the fact that we haven’t yet seen an official trailer with which to spoof. Something funny could at least be done with that [...]
‘Terminator Salvation’: ‘I’ll Be Back…Right After We Go To 7-11’
You’ve got to hand it to 7-11, they know how to market themselves. Whether it’s decking their stores out as Quik-E-Marts or making green Slurpees for “Incredible Hulk,” they’ve managed to wiggle their way into one blockbuster after another.
And such is the case with McG’s upcoming “Terminator Salvation,” where — to their credit — they’ve [...]
Will Ferrell, Adam McKay Producing ‘Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters’
One of the most buzzed about films at Sundance was Tommy Wirkola’s Nazi zombie thriller, “Dead Snow,” which pits a few medical students against icy and undead members of the Third Reich. It can be pretty hard to follow up that kind of gutsiness, but Wirkola is already hard at work on a new idea [...]

Hugh Jackman may be a huge Hollywood star, but don’t let that fool you into believing he’s not a bonafide comic book fanboy. Thus, it was with great pleasure that he re-entered the role of Wolverine for “X-Men Origins,” out this Friday. The standalone film allowed Jackman to delve into the early “X-Men” comics to [...]

If you’re like any of us at MTV News, you’re probably wondering what keeps holding up the big screen adaptation of “Arrested Development” from moving forward. Well, now we have our answer: the new Fox show, “Sit Down, Shut Up.”
Mitch Hurwitz’s animated comedy debuted earlier this month, and between writing and producing that series, and [...]
Josh Peck Chills Out With ‘Ice Age’ Return, Looks To Get Gritty Again Soon
After his turn as a socially awkward dope dealer in “The Wackness,” Jock Peck is showing his versatility these days by returning to his kid-friendly roots in the summer’s eagerly-anticipated animated flick, “Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs.”
“Dinosaurs, 3D, everything,” hyped the 22-year-old funnyman, never the sort for understatement. “It’s probably the best movie ever [...]
Jim Carrey’s ‘A Christmas Carol’ Will Leave You ‘Blown Away,’ Says Special Effects Master
It’s another time-travel movie from the man behind the “Back to the Future” trilogy. It’s a chance for Jim Carrey to play a handful of characters at once. And it’s yet another leap forward for a cinematic technology that was scoffed at when it was widely used for the first time in a big budget [...]
