Gary is upside down. After a handle of booze and a sizable crack rock, Gary (Ryan Reynolds) lands his car upside down the old fashioned way and ends up under house arrest with a cheery publicist named Margaret (Melissa McCarthy).

George Miller gets denied a tax break for his upcoming project… For the Justice League, the hits just keep on coming.

The sexy up-and-comer takes her 300 and ‘Sarah Conner’ fame to Ridley Scott’s next project.

Despite the sugar-coated trailer that’s hit the web recently for Wall-E, the main premise of the film is a strong indictment of American society – a population of obese humans have trashed and polluted their planet beyond inhabitability.

The creators of Forgetting Sarah Marshall turn toward a Jim Henson classic.

Foul number one. No breastfeeding in a movie theater. I would have thought that was common sense.
