Must Watch: Fantastic International Animal Kingdom Trailer
Don't be confused, this isn't a Disney movie at all. Animal Kingdom is the incredibly intense and highly praised gang drama from Australia that played at Sundance earlier this year (watch our video review). Back in December, an early teaser hit, but this is the trailer that everyone needs to watch to understand what this movie is and why it's so damn good. I know it's hard to get excited for something without seeing any footage when there's buzz coming from a big festival, but now we've got this trailer to introduce you to one of the best films coming out of Sundance this year. Although I think it does show a little too much. Watch below.

Sound Off: How to Train Your Dragon - What Did You Think?
Now that you've seen it, what did you think? DreamWorks Animation has released its 19th feature film in theaters today, titled How to Train Your Dragon, based on Cressida Cowell's book of the same name. There's been a lot of buzz about how good this movie is, so I thought I'd open the floor for discussion. Is it really a great movie after all? Is it DreamWorks' best to date? Or is it just another mediocre movie from that studio? How are the visuals and the 3D this time? Is there a good story and good characters to go along with it? If you've seen it, leave a comment, and let us know what you thought of How to Train Your Dragon!

Orson Welles Narrating a Brand New Family Christmas Movie
No, we haven't figured out how to re-animate corpses and make them do our bidding just yet. Oh, how much simpler things would be. THR reports that an old once-thought-lost recording of Orson Welles narrating a children's Christmas novel is being used in an upcoming 3D live-action/CG hybrid movie called Christmas Tails. Directed by Todd Tucker, the story follows Santa Claus' dog who gathers other canines in the North Pole to help save Christmas when the infamous sleigh-leading reindeer all get sick. Isn't that movie called Santa Buddies? This kind of sounds like a shitty Christmas present but there are a few interesting elements.

Casting Tidbits: Tracy Morgan, Timothy Dalton & Kate Hudson
I asked for a car, I got Casting Tidbits. How's that for being born under a bad sign? First, THR reports the cast of the ensemble cop drama Son of No One just keeps growing and getting a little strange as Tracy Morgan (Cop Out) and Juliette Binoche (Dan in Real Life, The English Patient) have joined the story of a young cop (Channing Tatum) assigned to a precinct in the working class neighborhood where he grew up, with an old secret surfacing and threatening to destroy his life and family. Morgan is apparently replacing Terrence Howard as Vinnie, one of Tatum's friends while Binoche will be playing a reporter. More inside!

First Look: Woody Allen's You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger
These aren't the most exciting photos, but as a growing Woody Allen fan, I can't help but feature them, especially because this is our true first look at his new film titled You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger. The title comes from an early scene where a lonely woman consults with a gypsy fortune teller who predicts that she will meet the love of her life. The film was shot in London last year and stars Naomi Watts, Josh Brolin and Anthony Hopkins (all seen below), as well as Antonio Banderas, Freida Pinto, Anna Friel, Ewen Bremner, Lucy Punch and Christian McKay. More info on the plot can be found beneath the photos as well.

Exclusive: Brand New Badass 30-Second TV Spot for Kick-Ass
Lionsgate has given us this brand new 30-second TV spot for Matthew Vaughn's Kick-Ass to feature today. If you've been watching the tube lately, you've probably already seen this recently, but this is the first time we've ever seen it online and FS.net is the only place you can watch it, for now.

I don't know what else I can say or what else I can show you to convince you that Kick-Ass is the must-see movie of the summer, but it definitely is. We've already seen plenty of trailers, so check out the new TV spot below, then catch this in theaters next month!

Brandon's Review: Hot Tub Time Machine is Totally Tubular
Hot Tub. Time. Machine. The title alone is enough to evoke a chuckle. It's seriously great. What's better is that the film that follows that distinctively '80s, bitchin' title sequence is able to evoke a whole lot more than a chuckle. This is a film to be seen with a group of friends who've hopefully seen their fair share of '80s movies, know their '80s fashion, and are familiar with spacial and temporal travel via jacuzzi wormholes. (That last one is less important. But relevant. And hilarious.)
Comedy is the toughest genre for me to review. Rather, I find it most difficult to recommend comedies to

Will Ferrell & Mark Wahlberg on The Other Guys Motion Poster
One little technical advancement I do enjoy seeing in Hollywood is the motion poster, basically a poster in a digital display that has some scene or interactive portion of it. Here's an example of great motion poster for the upcoming comedy The Other Guys starring Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg. Unlike in Cop Out, these two guys are a mismatched pair of cops, yet to me they seem like the perfect pair for the big screen. I know this is only about a ten second little clip, but I think this looks hilarious, I'm very excited for it now. There's also a new Tron Legacy motion poster you can see over on Collider. Definitely check this out in full below!

Kapow! Universal has debuted the official teaser trailer for Edgar Wright's Scott Pilgrim vs. the World based on Bryan Lee O'Malley's brilliant comic book series and this totally frickin' rules! I've been excited for this since the moment it was announced and damn it looks so awesome!! What an absolutely perfect teaser trailer, from the intro to the awesome footage in-between, and the ending with the gorgeous Anna Kendrick. We've been waiting to see footage for this forever and now it's here it definitely delivers. For those that don't know anything about this, it's basically a video game in a movie, you'll see what I mean. Watch and enjoy!

Check These Out: Six Badass Character Posters for The Losers
Anyone else would be dead by now. I'm really digging the marketing for The Losers, at least all the posters they've put out. Not only did we get that comic book cover version of the poster previously, but they released another very stylized one last week as well. HitFix got their hands on a total of six new character posters for The Losers, featuring one for every single team member: Jeffrey Dean Morgan as Clay, Chris Evans as Jensen, Zoe Saldana as Aisha, Columbus Short as Pooch, Idris Elba as Roque, and Oscar Jaenada as Cougar. Not seen are the bad guys: Jason Patric as Max and Holt McCallany as Wade. Check 'em out below!

Full-Length Trailer for Owen Wilson's Marmaduke is Painful
Are you ready for Beverly Hills Chihuahua: Part 2? I was originally going to call this Marley & Me: Part 2, but after watching this trailer, it leans a lot more towards Chihuahua, right down to a painfully bad dance number at the end. Fox has debuted a full-length theatrical trailer for Marmaduke featuring the voice of Owen Wilson. I'll be honest - I wanted this would be good because I liked Marley & Me and want another entertaining dog movie. Even though it also stars William H. Macy as well, it still looks just plain awful. Why do they have to stoop so low with humor like this? Anyway, watch only if you think you can stomach it.

Carey Mulligan to Play Eliza Doolittle in My Fair Lady Remake
Late last year, the long gestating new adaptation of the 1956 Broadway musical My Fair Lady got a new director in John Madden (Shakespeare in Love). The most recent attempt at getting it off the ground had Keira Knightley stepping into the shoes once filled by Audrey Hepburn in the 1964 film adaptation of the musical, however BBC News recently caught up with Emma Thompson, who wrote the script for the remake, and she revealed that the lovely and charming Carey Mulligan will be taking on the role of Eliza Doolittle, a Cockney flower girl who takes speech lessons from professor Henry Higgins so that she can pass as a lady.
