The highly anticipated (by frat bros) trailer for The Hangover 2 is here, and it’s astonishing how similar the plot is to the first film. Zach Galifinakis is still the weirdo who makes everyone uncomfortable by bringing up Vegas hookers and weenises, Bradley Cooper is the smug good-lookin’ dude, and Ed Helms is hilariously chiefed with a real-life Mike Tyson tribal tattoo. As if the lack of originality inherent in this sequel isn’t already blatantly pointed out by the fact the the plot is lifted almost identically from the first film, the Mike Tyson tattoo really is a lazy etching of it. If you are one of the people who watch this trailer and excitedly gesture toward the screen and inform your friends that, “Hey, dude, that’s totally the Mike Tyson tattoo! You see that! Ohh man!”, then you need to step away from your computer and do the beer bong that Schmidty’s holding for you, because his arms are getting tired. All kidding aside, this movie’s going to make a ton of money from mouth-breathers and frat bros, so it doesn’t really need to be anything original. Here’s the trailer over at Screenjunkies. Let us never speak of it again until the movie comes out this summer.
Read MoreEver since her amazingly sexy debut as a cabaret singer in Jim Carrey’s heart-wrenching, cartoon-clock-smashing turn in The Mask, Cameron Diaz has been moving slowly toward a role in which she plays a disgruntled yet alluring teacher. Finally, that movie is here, and it’s appropriately titled Bad Teacher. Ms. Diaz plays a teacher who’s lost all of her moral strictures about setting a good example for kids as an educator and proceeds to curse, smoke weed and generally misbehave. Then, dreamy new teacher Justin Timberlake comes along and gets Diaz all hot and bothered. The problem is that Timberlake is only interested in girls with big boobs, so Diaz has to save up and do her job well to pay for a breast augmentation operation. Makes perfect sense as a plot, right? Check out the Bad Teacher trailer over at ScreenJunkies.

Is that Magneto's helmet, or are you just happy to see Jennifer Lawrence shape-shifting in the nude?
See what we did there for that X-Men: First Class trailer headline? Oh yeah, we went there. The release of the trailer for the hotly anticipated prequel to the X-Men franchise. Literally hundreds of Cheetos-dusted fingers flew across dingy keyboards this afternoon as giddy movie bloggers posted the trailer and immediately began to criticize it. Speaking of criticism, there was apparently a leaked version of the trailer on someone’s Facebook page, but really you have to be a gigantic nerd to fully research whatever the problem was, so no spaced wasted here trying to get to the bottom of it. Bottom line: dual hotties January Jones and Jennifer Lawrence will be in the film, probably wearing very little clothing. That’s win-win.
Read MoreDuring Super Bowl XLV, in which the Packers bested the Steelers and took the volume out of Troy Polamalu’s frizzy mane, viewers were treated to their first glimpse of the latest Marvel superhero to be unearthed from the World War 2 archives: Captain America. Chris Evans is a pathetically skinny G.I. before he’s plucked from his ranks and thrown into an experimental chamber that turns him into a hugely muscular, Nazi-killing machine. With his iconic shield and a truly heroic crew cut, Captain America will take out the bad guys and go up against his arch-nemesis, the most blatant symbol of communist villainy in the world, Red Skull. Hottie Natalie Dormer will co-star with the Captain.
Read MoreCarla Gugino, the perennially hot and talented A-list actress, will portray an actress of more ill repute in Elektra Luxx. Gugino plays the eponymous character who, as any guy over the age of 13 with an internet connection could probably guess, works in the adult film industry. Her quick rise (ahem) to fame in the porno world is cut short, though, when she learns that she is pregnant with a rock star’s baby. Shouldn’t all female porn stars be on birth control anyway? It will be explained in time, and hopefully with fewer plot holes than normal porno fare. Erstwhile TV sheriff (and former pornographer in The Girl Next Door) Timothy Olyphant, Malin Akerman, Adrianne Palicki, and Joeseph Gordon-Levitt co-star.
Read MoreNicholas Cage is an internet god, and this incredibly overwrought and amazingly sexual/violent Drive Angry 3D clip will ensure that he continues to reign atop the Mt. Olympus of Overacting for many years to come. In this semi-fantastic film, Cage plays a man who was once trapped in Hell to escape and pursue the men who killed his daughter and kidnapped his granddaughter. His paramour in this scene is Charlotte Ross, a former regular on the police procedural staple NYPD Blue. Nicholas Cage is one of the most enigmatic actors in Hollywood right now. He wins an Oscar for Leaving Las Vegas and is at least a passable action hero in The Rock. Then, he goes into massive debt buying dinosaur bones and huge mansions, and his spending habits force him to take on ever more ridiculous and numerous roles as a wizard, crusader, hitman, and more. Even if you feel like Nicholas Cage is getting a little over-exposed (which he is), you’ll have to find something at least ridiculously funny about how over the top this Drive Angry redband clip really is.
Read MoreHateful and hated fundamentalist church group Westboro Baptist Church and their nutty leader Fred Phelps plan to protest Kevin Smith’s new film Red State at its Sundance premiere. Protesting a film is strangely out of character for the media-baiting misanthropes, but they’re sending seven of their devout followers to decry the film. Obviously, they believe that the horror film portrays an extremely religious family that closely mirrors the strong, often irrational, beliefs of the Westboro Baptist Church. A bunch of rowdy teenagers end up getting into a car accident on a country back road, where they are promptly kidnapped by the crazy churchgoers for bizarre, ritualistic slaughter and torture. Judging by the trailer, it looks somewhat like a cross between The Hills Have Eyes, Deliverance, and that wacky preacher on your public broadcasting network that only comes on at 3 o’clock in the morning. Say your prayers and watch the Red State trailer on Break Horror.

After and before images of Roger Ebert's face shortly after his surgery. He'll debut his prostethic chin on his new PBS show.
It’s safe to say that Roger Ebert is one of the best-known film critics of all time, and unfortunately, he’s become more well-known in year’s past for having most of his jaw removed as a result of his bout with thyroid cancer in 2006. His illness and the resulting complications kept him off of TV since then, but Mr. Ebert now plans to return on PBS with a new show called “Ebert Presents at the Movies”. He’ll have two other co-hosts that will run most of the show, but the new Roger Ebert face will debut in a small segment during the show. With the help of Scottish engineers, and the huge archive of his previous TV appearances, Ebert also plans to use a computer to communicate that is able to simulate his old voice to an uncanny degree. Regardless of how you feel about his film advice, it’s still pretty inspiring to see the man persisting in his trade.
