What the hell is Hangover 2 all about?

Oh. My. God!  Todd Phillips, director of The Hangover Part II, debuted a strange new photo on Facebook and the Interwebs has gone crazy trying to figure out: What does this mean?  What happened to Zach's hair? Ed Helms has a face tattoo? And let's talk about the monkey in the room! It's wearing a Rolling Stone jacket.  This movie is not going to disappoint.  Hilarious!

W Magazine's First Look at Rooney Mara as Lisbeth Salander

The second in my trio of new looks for actors in the series.  Well, it's January, time to debut and to an extent, tease, audiences on what is upcoming.  In this day of fast news and updates, it's never to early to start building up your audience.  Here it is, Rooney Mara (The Social Network) as Lisbeth Salander courtesy of W Magazine who got an exclusive with Mara and the director, David Fincher.   Very interesting read!  Those Social Network kids are sure doing well for themselves, aren't they?  I know all the focus is on Mara for this film but don't forget, Daniel Craig, Stellan Skarsgaard and Robin Wright Penn are also in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.

First Look: Andrew Garfield as Spiderman

Summer 2012 is a long way from today but here's a first look at Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker aka Spiderman.  I'll admit I was a bit skeptical when I first heard about Garfield being cast as Parker but after watching The Social Network, I'm more than convinced the kid's got the right stuff.  This is the way to reboot a franchise.  

Countdown to Oscars: The Critics Choice Awards

Yesterday, the Critic Choice awards took place in Los Angeles, California.   The awards are given out by the Broadcast Film Critics Association and it is high honor indeed to win one of these.  Here are the very lucky and I'm guessing very  happy winners.  It's all the usual suspects, The Social Network, The King's Speech, The Fighter with the acting awards and Inception with the technical ones.  I'm really happy to see Easy A recognized as Best Comedy and A.R. Rehman's music coming through for Best Song.  Way to go!
