Looks like the US has got its own multi-character poster for Iron Man 2. Curiously Sam Rockwell in both image and and name is still absent from this one. Oscar level snub maybe?
The second full-length trailer for 20th Century Fox’s upcoming Tom Cruise starrer Knight & Day has landed. The new trailer features a bunch of new footage which mostly seems to feature Cruise and Cameron Diaz being chased, a lot. Directed by Walk the Line helmer James Mangold and based on a [...]

Paramount Pictures aired new TV spots during the Nickleodeon Kid’s Choice Awards last night for two of their big summer movies.

There’s another new teaser for M. Night Shymalan’s new movie The Last Airbender, and this one is Japanese. It features some new scenes not in either of the English language ones to date. Still don’t know what the make of this movie…
Disney’s The Sorcerer’s Apprentice is shaping up to be an intriguing film. Starring a suitably insane looking Nicholas Cage and the ever likeable Jay Baruchel this movie from uber-producer Jerry Bruckheimer and director Jon Turteltaub could end up being a Pirates of the Caribbean type hit. In a nutshell the plot [...]
The marketing machine over at Warner Bros. is in full swing promoting their new action comedy The Losers. Today sees the release of 6 character posters for the titular group. If you look closely you’ll even see the new Captain America as a gun-toting techno-geek.
Dreamworks Animation has released six new posters for the upcoming fourth outing of jolly green ogre Shrek. I cannot say that I’m a fan of either and the “Where’s my witches at?” tagline is a lame joke. On and don’t get me started on the Puss one…

Synopsis:
Being Flynn is the new dramatic feature from Academy Award-nominated writer/director Paul Weitz (About a Boy). Adapted from Nick Flynn’s 2004 memoir Another Bulls—t Night in Suck City, the movie explores bonds both unbreakable and fragile between parent and child.
Nick Flynn (portrayed in the film by Paul Dano of Little Miss Sunshine and There Will Be Blood) is a young writer seeking to define himself. He misses his late mother, Jody (four-time Academy Award nominee Julianne Moore), and her loving nature. But his father, Jonathan, is not even a memory, as Nick has not seen the man in 18 years.
Jonathan Flynn (two-time Academy Award winner Robert De Niro) has long defined himself as a great writer, “a master storyteller.” After abandoning his wife and child, Jonathan scrapes through life on his own terms. Despite the occasional grandiose letter to his son, he has remained absent from Nick’s life.
Suddenly facing eviction from his apartment, Jonathan impulsively reaches out to Nick and the two come face-to-face.
Evocatively told, ruefully funny, and moving in its depiction of the ties that bind, Being Flynn tells a story that reveals universal truths.

Synopsis:
Roger Brown is a corporate headhunter, and he’s a master of his profession. But one career simply can’t support his luxurious lifestyle and his wife’s fledgling art gallery. At an art opening one night he meets Clas Greve, who is not only the perfect candidate for a major CEO job, but also, perhaps, the answer to his financial woes: Greve just so happens to mention that he owns a priceless Peter Paul Rubens painting that’s been lost since World War II—and Roger Brown just so happens to dabble in art theft. But when he breaks into Greve’s apartment, he finds more than just the painting. And Clas Greve may turn out to be the worst thing that’s ever happened to Roger Brown.
