It’s such an easy target, who could resist? SNL sure couldn’t, delivering one of their funniest skits of the year as they make fun of Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries’ relationship, Kris Jenner’s need for attention, and Bruce Jenner’s surgically frozen face.

I’m not familiar with Lionel Shriver’s book, but I may have to put it on my reading list after watching this trailer for We Need to Talk About Kevin. Directed by Lynne Ramsey, We Need to Talk About Kevin stars Tilda Swinton, John C Reilly, and Ezra Miller and is rated R for disturbing violence and behavior, some sexuality and language.
The Plot:
We Need to Talk About Kevin explores the factious relationship between a mother and her son. Tilda Swinton, in a bracing, tour-de-force performance, plays the mother, Eva, as she contends for 15 years with the increasing malevolence of her first-born child, Kevin (Ezra Miller).
Based on the best-selling novel of the same name, We Need to Talk About Kevin explores nature vs. nurture on a whole new level as Eva’s own culpability is measured against Kevin’s innate evilness. Ramsay’s masterful storytelling simultaneously combines a provocative moral ambiguity with a satisfying and compelling narrative, which builds to a chilling, unforgettable climax.
Watch the trailer:
We’ve seen them have sex with objects, watched them get married, and now we get the chance to see what’s become of all the American Pie guys – and girls. The gang’s back for more comedy adventures in American Reunion, with Stifler and the rest proving getting older doesn’t mean you have to grow up.
Watch the trailer:
Cyrus will be voicing Mavis, the teenage daughter of Dracula. Adam Sandler’s handling the voice of the world’s most famous vampire, with David Koechner voicing Quasimodo, David Spade as Griffin the Invisible Man, Kevin James as Frank (also known as Frankenstein), Fran Drescher as Frankenstein’s bride, Eunice, and Cee Lo Green as Murray the boisterous Mummy. Steve Buscemi and Molly Shannon will be providing the voices of Wayne and Wanda, a married werewolf couple.
The Plot:
Welcome to the Hotel Transylvania, Dracula’s (Sandler) lavish five-stake resort, where monsters and their families can live it up, free from meddling from the human world. But here’s a little known fact about Dracula: he is not only the Prince of Darkness; he is also a dad. Over-protective of his teenage daughter, Mavis, Dracula fabricates tales of elaborate dangers to dissuade her adventurous spirit. As a haven for Mavis, he opens the Hotel Transylvania, where his daughter and some of the world’s most famous monsters – Frankenstein and his bride, the Mummy, the Invisible Man, a family of werewolves, and more – can kick back in safety and peace. For Drac, catering to all of these legendary monsters is no problem – but his world could come crashing down when one ordinary guy stumbles on the hotel and takes a shine to Mavis.

In the press release announcing the acquisition of A Common Man, Myriad CEO Kirk D’Amico stated, “Early response to our sales promo has been terrific. Ben Kingsley is a very big star internationally and the film has the right components buyers look for – a big star with a lot of action.”

In A Common Man, a mysterious man (Kingsley) has planted 5 bombs in the politically-scarred city that are set to explode unless four major terrorists are immediately released from prison. When he calls in his demands to the Deputy Inspector General of the Colombo Police Department (Cross), it sets in motion an ideological and deadly confrontation between the truth and duty.

If you’re waiting to buy into the fairy tale drama Once Upon a Time or if you haven’t yet found yourself laughing along with Happy Endings, now’s the time to go ahead and give in to your impulses and watch them both. They won’t be going away anytime soon, as ABC has gone ahead and ordered more episodes of both shows. Also getting some love from the network is Tim Allen’s Last Man Standing, which hasn’t caught on with critics but is doing well in the ratings.
The network’s ordered nine more episodes from each of the three shows. And the Pan Am team has been okay’ed to write five more scripts.
Once Upon a Time premiered with 12.6 million viewers and held on to most of that with episode #2. Meanwhile, Last Man Standing has slacked off since launching with 13 million viewers.
Big Time Rush will be headlining Nickelodeon’s Big Time Movie, a Beatles-inspired musical featuring covers of the Fab Four’s classic tunes as well as original music off of the group’s sophomore album, Elevate (dropping on November 21, 2011). Among the songs Big Time Rush will be covering are “Help!,” “A Hard Day’s Night,” “We Can Work It Out,” and “Revolution.”
Filming’s currently underway in Vancouver. Nickelodeon plans to air the movie in 2012.
The Plot:
In Big Time Movie, the guys – Kendall (Kendall Schmidt), James (James Maslow), Carlos (Carlos Pena Jr.) and Logan (Logan Henderson) – must tap their inner spy as their adventure finds them driving exotic cars and jumping out of helicopters, while trying to make it to their first world tour concert on time. Hot on their trail are evil henchmen named Maxwell, British secret agents and Swedish spies as well as billionaire businessman, Sir Atticus Moon who wants back his precious device code named: “The Beetle,” an anti-gravitational device with enormous power.
Once they learn they’re carrying this precious cargo, the guys get pulled into a madcap mission throughout London, which threatens the onset of their world tour. With the help of teen spy Penny Lane, the guys set out to save Penny’s father M16 Agent Simon Lane and stop Sir Atticus Moon’s plot to use “The Beetle” to gain world domination.
“The cool gadgets, outdoor locations and big stunts give this film a truly cinematic feel and transport Big Time Rush into a larger than life environment,” stated Marjorie Cohn, President, Original Programming and Development, Nickelodeon. “It’s a Nickelodeon take on James Bond meets Austin Powers, featuring covers of classic Beatles songs that both kids and their parents can enjoy.”
