With every slasher, there’s got to be fresh meat, and for Scream 4, there’s a ton of new kids to run around and get scared of the Ghostface killer.

This is the kind of film that makes me appreciate Shrek. Shrek came in and said, “look everyone, we can entertain both adults and kids at the same time.” The first film must have had a sprinkle of magic on it, because even THEY couldn’t recreate the perfect adult-kid-comedic-chemistry that the first film had. Of course this is an old quality for animations (go re-watch Disney’s Peter Pan, there is plenty in there for adults to enjoy), but Shrek really brought it to the forefront of our current movie-going population.
Since then, everyone has tried to duplicate the Shrek-phenomenon – people liked it and the film made a lot of money. Some, like Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs have been more successful than others, like what Alpha and Omega in doing so. I know this is supposed to be a kids film, but maybe they should have just left out the adults because just about every single “adult” joke in this trailer falls flat. The “I have to pee” and butt humor only works so much, they even say so.
That being said, maybe the film has promise? Watch the trailer and let us know what you think…

Whatever you think of the TV show Heroes (it’s ok, you can admit that you watch it, even if it is pretty awful) you’ve got to admit that one of its stars, Hayden Panettiere, has got some moves when it comes to real-life heroics.
The 20-year-old actress and Save the Whales Again! Spokesperson (who, as captured in the Academy Award-winning documentary The Cove, surfed with several other protesters into the waters of Taiji, Japan in attempt to prevent the massacre of a group of dolphins before she and others were attacked by fishermen) returned to Taiji today to speak about the rampant killing of dolphins with the “mayor, city councilmen and Fisheries Union representatives,” according to E! Online.

Director Chris Columbus, best known for directing the first two Harry Potter films and for writing such classics as Gremlins and Goonies, is trying his luck with high school comedy in I Love You, Beth Cooper starring Hayden Penettiere and Paul Rust. The film is about Buffalo Grove High School valedictorian Denis Cooverman’s (Rust), who has played it safe and made it all the way to graduation without ever breaking curfew, destroying property, consuming too much alcohol, fist fights, fast cars or women of any sort. He has decided to tell the most popular girl in school, Beth Cooper (Panetierre) that he loves her.
Going from big budgets films such as Happy Potter to I Love You, Beth Cooper is quite a change as Columbus notes himself: Continue Reading
