Quote of the Day: Megan Fox is a Lord of the Rings Nerd
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: New Line, Action, Adaptation, Adventure, Classics, Drama, Celeb News, Celebrity Gossip,
“I’m a Lord of the Rings fan. And I’ll go on the forums. And they’ll complain that Frodo is eating the Lembas bread outside of Mordor instead of in the Mines of Moria. And they get really mad. You cannot focus completely on pleasing them because you’ll never win. They’ll never be happy no matter what you do… Peter Jackson and company won like 30 something Oscars for those movies.”
—Jonah Hex actress Megan Fox reveals more about her nerdy habits.

First Look: Ben Stiller in Little Fockers Trailer
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Universal, Sequels, Comedy, Trailers, Upcoming Releases, Videos,
Question: In order to be a fan of the Fockers saga, does it really matter if you know what the f***ing movies are about?
Despite repeated viewings of this new trailer Little Fockers, I have to throw in the towel and admit that I have no idea what the sequel’s storyline is. Jessica Alba secretly has to give men pills to get them aroused? Ben Stiller is not capable of handling sharp instruments? Teri Polo has lost her ability to speak?
Warning: After watching the preview, you might be begging Robert De Niro to erase your memory as well.
If you actually found yourself amused by what you saw, you can make a holiday date with the rest of your family on December 22.

Jesse Eisenberg is Scary as Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Columbia Pictures, Biopics, Drama, Casting, Celeb News, Distribution, Upcoming Releases,
The poster for the upcoming Facebook movie, The Social Network, is out and it’s a far, dark cry from the bright, fun place that gave way to Farmville. Hollywood, after all, always has to ensure
extra drama when it comes to biopics (I mean no one’s life is ever boring, right?).
If there was a good way to distinguish star Jesse Eisenberg—who portrays Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg in the film—from
awkward, teen actor Michael Cera, this will hopefully do the trick. Or maybe he’s trying to make up for the sad movie that was Adventureland.
