What would Daniel Day-Lewis do to get past his Academy Award-winning role as Daniel Plainview? He’d move on with a bevy of women.
In Nine, the There Will Be Blood star trades in the oil industry for a life behind the camera. Daniel plays Guido Contini, a Venice director who struggles to complete his film while handling all the women in his life. It’s a part that was once given to Javier Bardem.

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Lionsgate, Romance, Comedy, Trailers, Upcoming Releases
Maybe the Minnesota weather is to blame for Renee Zellweger’s disheveled hair last night…
In her upcoming romantic comedy, Renee plays a consultant from Miami with a temporary assignment in the Midwest state. Of course, it’s always nice to have a warm body around when you’re cold. Thankfully for the Oscar winner, Harry Connick, Jr. is there to keep her company.
New in Town - also starring J.K. Simmons and Frances Conroy - opens January 20.

First Look: Night at the Museum 2
Posted by Johnny Mercedes Categories: 20th Century Fox, Adventure, Sequels, Comedy, Upcoming Releases
The first trailer for Night at the Museum 2: Battle of the Smithsonian has surfaced on none other than the McDonald’s Happy Meal site.
The sequel to Night at the Museum, about bumbling security guard Larry Daley (Ben Stiller) who discovers that a museum’s displays and statues come to life after dark, follows the character as he attempts to rescue friends Jedediah (Owen Wilson) and Octavius (Steve Coogan) from the Smithsonian Institute. Despite my scathing review of the original film, in which I blasted the film for being an over-hyped, effect-laden, plot-deprived piece of garbage that not even a child could enjoy, every new movie deserves consideration, and it’s (rarely) possible for a sequel to surpass the original.
You can watch the Night at the Museum 2: Battle of the Smithsonian trailer here.
