I bring you your daily Tom Hardy with the news that This Means War has once again gotten a new rating. The MPAA has restored the treasured and zealously sought-after PG-13 to the film after a few of Chelsea Handler’s sex-themed jokes were ‘trimmed’. (While I’m quite sure that will piss off Ms. Handler, I’ve seen her new sitcom and frankly, it seems like a fitting punishment.) I can’t imagine that these jokes made that much difference to the whole of the movie, so I don’t think it will suffer too badly (just a guess), but the idea that a few words are what we need to shield those under the age of 17 from while we are free to show them explosions, guns and general violent mayhem, not to mention two grown men behaving like idiotic bullies who throw friendship out the window all the while wasting government resources  in their quest to get what they want and that’s acceptable. Yes, I know I’m being literal. I realize it’s a movie and it’s supposed to be funny. I’m not trying to spoil the fun, just trying to make a point.

Moving on, we have a clip wherein Chris Pine lies about knowing anything about the works of Gustav Klimt and Tom Hardy attempts to foil the plan. Comedic hijinks are sure to ensue.  Seriously, I do think this looks funny. I like that it’s not obvious from any of these clips or trailers which one of the two Reese Witherspoon ends up with. (Of course I know which one I’m rooting for.)

There's also a new international trailer with a little bit of footage we haven't seen before. I really am going to have to see this if for no other reason than to find out who gets the girl.

This Means War is still opening on February 14 as of this writing, but we’ll keep you abreast of any more changes to schedule or rating. Now can we get a decent poster?

We’ve had a couple of international trailers for Lockout, as well as a clip introducing Guy Pearce’s character, Snow. Today we have the first domestic trailer. It includes footage not in the other two trailers and definitely gives a clearer idea of what we’re in for.  The trouble is, I’m not sure that’s a good thing.

From the first, Lockout has felt derivative; like a remake of Escape from New York, if New York were a floating space prison, but the inclusion of Guy Pearce, not to mention Luc Besson’s involvement, had me excited about the possibilities. After watching the domestic trailer, the possibilities now include that the more I see of Lockout, the less I’m interested in viewing the actual film. (As opposed to Mirror Mirror which, the more I see of it, is growing on me.) Is Guy Pearce’s deadpan delivery of some snarky dialogue enough to carry 120 minutes filled with action movie clichés and yet another Maggie Grace damsel-in-distress? We’ll see. I’m still in for now.

The synopsis: A man wrongly convicted of conspiracy to commit espionage against the U.S. is offered his freedom if he can rescue the president's daughter from an outer space prison taken over by violent inmates. 

Lockout, which also stars Peter Stormare, Vincent Regan and Lenny James, opens in the UK 13th April and the 20th in the US so I’m sure we’ll get another trailer, a few clips and a some tv spots before it does.

I’m sure you’ve heard by now that Michel Hazanavicius’ The Artist, is a thoroughly delightful film (if you haven’t seen it for yourself that is) and it warms the cockles of my cold and jaded heart to see that the joy appears to have been genuine and the cast had as much fun making the film as we had watching it. A blooper reel has turned up, courtesy of French film site Allocine (via HeyUGuys), that offers proof.  It also proves Uggie is a real ham, stealing scenes even as he’s missing his cues. (I love that dog)

For those of you that don’t know, the official synopsis:

Hollywood 1927. George Valentin (Jean Dujardin) is a silent movie superstar. The advent of the talkies will sound the death knell for his career and see him fall into oblivion. For young extra Peppy Miller (Berenice Bejo), it seems the sky’s the limit – major movie stardom awaits. THE ARTIST tells the story of their interlinked destinies.

A French film set in Hollywood with a mostly American cast, The Artist also stars Penelope Ann Miller, Missi Pyle, James Cromwell and John Goodman. See it before Oscar night so you’ll know what all the fuss is about. (More on that later.) Enjoy the clip!

We have the first image from Eran Creevy’s Welcome to the Punch starring James McAvoy and Mark Strong. The story follows an ex-criminal (Strong) who is forced to return to London from his Icelandic hideaway when his son is involved in a heist gone wrong. This gives a dogged detective (McAvoy) one last chance to catch the man he’s always been after. It opens in September in the UK. No US date yet. You'd better believe I'll be keeping an eye on this one! (Thanks to ScreenDaily for the pic.)

We’ve got two new images from The Hunger Games! One of them shows Stanley Tucci as Caesar Flickerman  with Jennifer Lawrence’s Katniss and if I didn’t know that was Stanley Tucci, I would never guess. That is some wig.  The ‘interviewer’ or emcee of The Games, apparently Caesar is famous for changing the color of his lips, hair, and eyelids for each of the Hunger Games.  The other images shows Katniss in the crowd in District 12 at “the reaping” which is when participants in The Games are chosen.

Here’s a new look at Channing Tatum-tot and Academy*cough*Award*choke*nominee*pounds head on keyboard* Jonah Hill from 21 Jump Street. Dressed in their prom tuxes amid debris and hiding behind bullet-riddled furniture, I’m guessing they won’t be getting the deposit on the hotel room back.

Still not sure how I feel about The Five Year Engagement but the leads are pretty damn likeable. Emily Blunt and Jason Segel might be nearly as charming as Jason Segel and Amy Adams were in The Muppets. Hmm…I’m sensing a pattern here.

…But then again, Emily Blunt and Ewan McGregor were charming together in the trailer for Salmon Fishing in the Yemen.

Here’s a new look at the Pirate Captain (voiced by Hugh Grant) from The Pirates! Band of Misfits coming in March. The trailers for this are hilarious. Hopefully it will be available in 2D as well as the dreaded 3.

And finally, last (and certainly least) here’s another look at the master thespians of The Three Stooges, Will Sasso as Curley, Chris Diamantopolous as Moe and Sean Hayes as Larry. The movie’s out in April, though inexplicably not on the 1^st.

Signs are pointing toward Captain America 2 in early 2014, but nothing’s been confirmed yet.

I know it seems like it’s been ages since we got any The Avengers goodies from Marvel, but today we have (thanks to ComicBookMovie) five hi-res official stills, including Sam Jackson’s Nick Fury, up close and personal.  (That is some vicious looking scar.)

From Marvel’s press release:

Marvel Studios presents in association with Paramount Pictures “Marvel’s The Avengers”–the super hero team up of a lifetime, featuring iconic Marvel super heroes Iron Man, the Incredible Hulk, Thor, Captain America, Hawkeye and Black Widow.

Robert Pattinson is so damned gorgeous, sultry and rugged for the February 2012 issue of GQ Russia. If he looked at me with that look on the cover, my clothes would go swoosh (thanks KB) as they dropped to the ground.

I almost don't know what to write because I'm just in such awe of his beauty. Regardless of the fact I can't read a word on the cover or in the pages of the publication, sometimes words don't need to be spoken (or read).

Enjoy the gorgeousness that is Robert Pattinson.

Well doesn't this make Brandi Glanville look like a liar! Earlier this week we told you how she admitted to boning Gerard Butler during a week of sex that earned him an 11 out of 10 but that story may have been bullsh*t.

Gerard  was caught looking delicious yesterday and when TMZ asked him about Brandi Glanville he responded with 'who's Brandi Glanville''? Maybe Gerard is punishing her for mentioning his name, or he's had so many women he doesn't quite remember their names OR it's all a crock of sh*t.

What do you think?
