Miss Teen USA Judge Questions Make Teens Look Unintelligent

On Friday, August 24, 2007, Miss Colorado was crowned, Miss Teen USA 2007. The live broadcast, which was hosted by Mario Lopez, showed just how the teenage girls could answer questions under pressure. Not one of the girls seemed to do a decent job of answering their questions, which leaves me to ponder…are these the teens who will have control of our future one day?

Brad PittIf you’ve been waiting for a look at one of Brad Pitt’s new movies, a trailer was just released for The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford. Starring Pitt as Jesse James and Casey Affleck as Robert Ford this is anything but your typical Western. The trailer offers a somber look at what appears to be another good Pitt movie.

This is just one of many new Pitt movies that are either ready to go, filming, or in the works. The other movies include The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (which also stars daughter Shiloh in her first role), State of Play, Dirty Tricks, Chad Schmidt, and Dallas Buyer’s Club.

The Nines Trailer & Synopsis

The Nines Box ArtThe Nines, a new movie starring Ryan Reynolds and Elle Fanning consists of three short films. The one thing that each film has in common is that each film features the same actors in different and sometimes overlapping, roles.

“The Prisoner” tells the story of a troubled television star (Ryan Reynolds) who finds himself under house arrest. His chipper publicist (Melissa McCarthy) and a disillusioned next-door neighbor (Hope Davis) are his only links to the outside world. Mysterious events lead him to question whether one or both women are deceiving him about the nature of his incarceration.

“Reality Television” is a half-hour episode of “Behind the Screen,” a Project Greenlight-style documentary series that tracks the process of creating a network television drama. Having shot the pilot, creator Gavin Taylor (also Ryan Reynolds) faces post-production with the help of his best friend (and lead actress) Melissa McCarthy and development VP Susan Howard (Hope Davis).

The Invasion is Coming!

Nicole KidmanI am usually willing to watch just about anything with Nicole Kidman, even the stuff where she looks too thin. As for Daniel Craig…Well, I hear he is good. Either way, when I heard about The Invasion I couldn’t wait to see it. Actually I still can’t. For those who are unaware of the film, it stars Craig and Kidman in a nightmarish journey. The only way to stay alive is to stay awake.

A space shuttle goes down in a strange crash, which leads to a discovery that something alien is in the wreckage. Whoever comes in contact with the alien ends up changing in inexplicable ways. This is where Carol Bennell (Kidman) and Ben Driscoll (Craig) come in. They learn about the aliens and the truth about what is causing the epidemic. The aliens attack the victims while they are sleeping. They leave the victims unchanged but they end up feeling strange and inhuman. The infection continues to spread and more people become impossible to be trusted.
