run from the FBI.
Thor continues to look better and better. Check
out the new
trailer.
Noah Oppenheim (Jackie) has been hired to pen the

Steve Kloves, who wrote all of the Harry Potter
movies, has been hired to write a script for a live action

The red band
trailer for Hall Pass is actually
really funny.

trailer for Insidious is well done.
I kind of want to check out the movie now.

The
trailer for I Saw The Devil is
twisted and awesome. Can't wait to see the movie.

Cancer is now titled 50/50.

... if it wanted. The

Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio will team up again for

down their mentor.
There Be Dragons is a goofy name, but the movie looks
solid. See the
