The Awesome Cowboys & Aliens Trailer: Heavy on Cowboys, Low on Aliens

After the soul-crushing awfulness of the trailer for Green Lantern , it’s nice to know that at least one summer movie in 2011 won’t be a total disappointment. The trailer for Cowboys & Aliens — which will get some serious placement in front of Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows, Part I this weekend — has premiered online and it’s nowhere near as silly as the title might have you believe. In fact, it looks pretty harrowing. Well, for a movie about cowboys fighting aliens.

Bosniawood Thwarts Angelina Jolie Once Again

“[The production director] said the original plan called for eight to 10 days of filming in Bosnia, but that has been cut to three or four. He said weather was one factor, but so were politics. ‘This story, “There is a paper [permit], there is no paper,” is a non-starter in the West. Nobody from the West is going to work with you when one day you tell them you can film, and then the next day you tell them now you can’t film. That is simply a no-go.” Sorry, Bosnia, all this could have been yours . [ LAT ]

The Mike & Molly Fat Joke Tracker: ‘They Called Me Belly the Kid’

Viewers who have been tracking Mike & Molly ‘s burgeoning relationship (and BMI s) were in for a treat last night when the super-sized sweethearts reached a very special milestone in their corpulent couple-dom: They said “I love you” to each other…and then had passionate make-up sex while wearing snakeskin boots. But who cares about the plot! Onto the fat jokes.

Isabelle Huppert on White Material, Missing Chabrol, and the Joys of Law & Order: SVU

When Isabelle Huppert, arguably the world’s greatest screen actress, needs a minute to send a text message before your interview, you comply. Not necessarily out of deference or politeness (though those things, too), but because of the dazzling daydream potential. Is she sending script notes to Michael Haneke, planning their next collaboration? you may think. Who’s she arranging a lunch date with? I guess it can’t be Claude Chabrol… And on and on.

The Great Harry Potter Liveblog Experiment Continues With Prisoner of Azkaban

Somehow, I have never seen a Harry Potter movie before today. Over the next two days, I will be watching all six films leading up to Tuesday night’s screening of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 . I will be liveblogging the entire experience because, well, why not? I’ll be checking the comments if you have any words of explanation or encouragement. We’ve got Sorcerer’s Stone and Chamber of Secrets down; now who’s ready for a little Prisoner of Azkaban ?
