OMG: The Breaking Dawn Title Treatment Arrives; Wait, What?

At the risk of being a jerk: Has anyone actually seen the phrase “title treatment” before? “Title card,” sure; but “treatment”? It just seems like we’re in new territory here — one similar to the place where that Transformers: Dark of the Moon announcement trailer lives. (And looks awesome; what can I tell you?) Anyway, click ahead to see your first look at the title treatment for The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, Part I . There’s no butter-colored sex , but there is some fancy, curly typeface. So, win!

Latest Awards Hurdle for The Social Network: Is Mark Zuckerberg the New Bernie Madoff?

The Social Network ‘s ride to status as Oscar front-runner has been a fairly smooth one — not even the charges that Aaron Sorkin’s script too sexist and/or too fabricated has been able to knock the film off the tracks. But perhaps this will do the trick: Is Mark ” Time Magazine Person of the Year ” Zuckerberg running his billion dollar company like Bernie Madoff?

Son of No One Trailer: Tracy Morgan Gets Dramatic in Sundance Closing Night Film

It probably goes without saying that I’ve spent many sleepless nights pondering how well Tracy Morgan could hold his own against Al Pacino and Juliette Binoche in a dramatic role (Who hasn’t?). And now, behold! The trailer for the Sundance closing night film The Son of No One not only hints at that answer, but throws Channing Tatum, Katie Holmes and Ray Liotta into the mix as well! And just look at that title! There’s no comic relief in sight here; just struggles for redemption and revenge in the mean city streets. So how does the usually hilarious Morgan do when confronted with this dark material and these acting heavyweights?

New Ebert Protege Ignatiy Vishnevetsky Fails Movie Quiz — How Would You Do?

I applaud him for playing along and testing his mettle, but there’s no doubt that Ignatiy Vishnevetsky — the new 24-year-old co-host on Roger Ebert Presents At the Movies — crashed and burned while taking The Daily Beast ‘s 10-question movie quiz . He compensated with a slick harangue to Aaron Sorkin midway through question eight, but still, he biffed. Would you have fared better?
