"Scream 4"

"The Twilight Saga: Eclipse"

The news - below are some clips from the upcoming film. Sometimes I happen to watch a little but of my mother's soap operas when she leaves the television on (lord - I hate those shows) and these clips feel exactly like those bloody soap operas. The trailer showed how the film might contain action, but these clips are pure soap opera.




"Going the Distance"

The news- This trailer caught me by extreme surprise and you may find yourself loving it as well (though it is a rom-com). Starring real-life couple Drew Barrymore and Justin Long, the film follows a couple going through a long-distance relationship. Having gone through a few of those, this is a movie I (and many more) can relate too. And besides, the trailer is quite hilarious.

Hayden Pants as a movie geek. When I first read about that, I thought they were joking. Old Wes Craven and co. are gonna have to sell me on that one. Plus you need a girl who can actaully be funny, especially if the movie geek role is gonna be like Jamie Kennedy from the originals.

Jamie Kennedy's character was the best (and I believe why the third is missing lots of humor in not having him except in a kind-of cameo).

I can't see Hayden Panettiere as a movie geek. I agree with you in having not been sold yet.
