New Clip Proves Jonah Hex May Actually Come Out on Time

Who knows what WB is doing with Jonah Hex ? From the very beginning, this summer movie has had so many strikes against it (it’s a Western, it has an unproven box office draw in Josh Brolin, the lead character is unattractively scarred, the director has never made a live-action film before, another director was hired for reshoots) that it’s a miracle it got made at all, let alone with a sizable budget. Still, for a movie coming out June 18, it’s more than a little bizarre that the studio waited this long to release anything related to it, be it a trailer or even stills from the production.

Cobie Smulders on How I Met Your Mother, Reprising Robin Sparkles and On-Set Jam Sessions

She may not be a former Canadian pop star in real life, but Cobie Smulders plays one on TV. As Robin Scherbatsky on CBS’ s Emmy-winning How I Met Your Mother , the Vancouver-born actress plays a morning-news anchor who dabbled in bubblegum pop music in the early ’80s under the stage name Robin Sparkles. And while Robin’s clique of thirtysomething friends — played by Josh Radnor, Jason Segel, Neil Patrick Harris and Alyson Hannigan — have only uncovered two recordings to date, the music videos have been so popular that they have inspired dozens of fan parodies on YouTube. Aside from being a former pop star though, Smulders’ character is also the show’s consummate bachelorette who just this season won the heart of Neil Patrick Harris’ comically machismo bachelor. As How I Met Your Mother ‘s fifth season winds down, Cobie Smulders caught Movieline up on her character’s lost variety show with Alan Thicke, the scenes she hated filming this season and her favorite guest star to date. [ Spoilerphobes beware: Smulders revealed a few mild plot twists ahead in the series’ fifth season. ]

Zack Galifianakis Goes Dancing

When it comes to show titles, few rival Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job! for both pure absurdity and shocking bravado. Great job, indeed. The Adult Swim staple airs a new episode tonight — well, technically, tomorrow morning at 12:30 a.m. — and you should probably set your DVR. Sometime collaborator Zack Galifianakis will appear, along with Peter Cetera (yep, that Peter Cetera), for a skit entitled “Little Dancing Man.” And to answer your question: Of course you should watch the promo.

Interview: Johnny Knoxville and Co. on Bringing BMX Power to Tribeca

It’s hard to believe that nearly 25 years into his pioneering career as the world’s most influential, ambitious and successful BMX athletes, Mat Hoffman didn’t have a film made about him until now. Perhaps harder still to believe: That it would take Jackass partners in crime Johnny Knoxville and Jeff Tremaine to finally get it done.

The Last Airbender Trailer: M. Night Shyamalan Raids His Netflix Queue

After the nearly career-killing disaster that was The Happening , M. Night Shyamalan could have tried yet again to recapture the faux-Hitchcock weirdness of The Sixth Sense , or he could have blown things up to start over. Well, it looks like someone went out and got himself a large quantity of dynamite. And a bunch of DVD s. Say hello to M. Night Shyamalan v.2 in the trailer for The Last Airbender …

Friday Box Office: The Losers

April: It’s the new September. After last weekend’s disappointing returns, this weekend is poised to do worse . Only Jennifer Lopez’s abysmal The Back-Up Plan reached $4 million on Friday, and it won’t even be in first place come Sunday because of holdover How to Train Your Dragon . Also debuting: The Losers , which, duh. For commentary, check the title. Oh, and for the thirty-seven of you who still care: Kick-Ass saw a Friday-to-Friday drop of 63 percent and landed in fifth place. Cue the wails of “You’re expectations were too high!” The top-five after the jump.

The Horror, The Horror

Another week winds down at Movieline HQ, where a slower-than-average news week nevertheless resulted in some pretty sizable stories of crisis, duress and surgical butt-to-mouth conjoinment. You know how it goes. Have a stroll through our Week in Review, and check in this weekend as Christopher Rosen plays your favorite smooth hits from the ’80s, ’90s, ’00s and today. (But mostly today.) Have a great weekend!

Movieline Interviews Project Runway’s Bickering Runners-Up Mila and Emilio — at the Same Time

They may have lost Project Runway last night to Seth Aaron Henderson , but second- and third-place finishers Emilio Sosa and Mila Hermanovski seem to have gained some respect for one another since shooting their contentious season. In a Movieline interview with the opinionated duo, Mila and Emilio discussed disagreeing with Tim Gunn and Michael Kors, snipes from less “mature” contestants, and the state of their tensions (which I may have aggravated after Emilio noted that he hadn’t watched the finale because he doesn’t have cable, and I informed him that Mila called his final line “Harlem in 1994”).
