Shyamalan's NEW Full-Length LADY IN THE WATER Trailer

M. Night (dir. Six Sense, Unbreakable, Signs, The Village), love him or hate him a lot, he's a talented mofo when it comes to filmmaking.  The first teaser for this film looked ok but sounded horrible (bad opera soundtrack was way too overwhelming and sappy).  Take a look at the new trailer and see if you feel better about another summer flick from M.  This one stars the great Paul Giamatti and Bryce Dallas Howard.

Cruise's MI:3 Scores $48 Million Over 1st Weekend

The 1st weekend of the summer box office festival of summer ended up being a quiet-ish one.  If you can call earning $48 million underwhelming(for a film that cost $120m to make), than yes, it was a quiet weekend for giant expectations.  People just hate this Cruise guy, don't they.  What happened to that interesting trend in his career when he started doing things like Magnolia?  Who told him to steer clear of decent, small scripts that matter?  He was good in that flick.  Great, even.  Other weekend openers (Hoot, American Haunting) did poorly. Click over for the numbers.

With Mission Impossible 3 opening this weekend, the summer-palooza festival-of-hollywood-dollars has begun and studios will be nipple-slipping their products all over the place to get us hooked from now until the brief pause in September when they regroup for the Thanksgiving-mukah-mas year-end blowout.  Here are more looks at X-Men 3, the Break Up (Anniston and Vaughn), and the Devil Wears Prada (Streep and Anne Hathaway) film adapt.

New STRANGERS WITH CANDY Movie Pics Online

Amy Sedaris is completely nuts.  This SWC movie has been finished for some time and been dropped by one studio so far, now it's opening this summer.  Let's hope it's as darkly freaky and funny as the show, but not too much moreso.  After awhile, Sedaris' Jerry-face starts to haunt you.  Case in point, the thumbnail used here.  Click on for more pics of the kick ass cast; Stephen Colbert, Mathew Broderick, Philip Seymour Hoffman, and others.

REVIEW: Is SUPERMAN RETURNS Great?!

Aintitcool's Harry Knowles is alleging that this certain sneak review is the real article (checked against a late copy of the script and accounts from people who worked on the film).  This review is SPOILER HEAVY and will ruin any surprises you might have going into the film blind.  Apparently, this review freakin' loved the flick.  We don't know, though, we didn't read the review.  You can.

NY Times Says MISSIONS IMPOSSIBLE 3 Is Limp, Too TV-ish

Manohla Dargis of the New York Times says, "Although he slams into stationary objects with his customary zeal, the usually dependable Mr. Cruise is off his game here, sabotaged by the misguided attempt to shade his character with gray. The domestication of Ethan Hunt may have seemed like a good idea, a humanizing touch, perhaps, but it only bogs down the action. Worse, it turns a perfectly good franchise into a seriously strange vanity project..." Click on for the whole review.  * A link to Rolling Stones' positive review has been added to balance for the flipside.
