Late Night Highlights: Jake Gyllenhaal Crudely Describes Sex with Anne Hathaway

“Never, in my entire life, have I heard anything quite that bizarre,” David Letterman said last night after hearing Jake Gyllenhaal describe his Love & Other Drugs sex scenes with Anne Hathaway. Elsewhere in late night, Russell Brand discussed his dual attraction to Katy Perry and the Queen of England, Jimmy Kimmel asked viewers to unfriend their Facebook pals and Movieline buddy Tom Bergeron talked Palin.

Bad Movies We Love: Chastity

The original Movieline magazine ran a bunch of great features, but the most lamented one has to be Bad Movies We Love. The world never runs out of horrible, adorable films, and that’s because they’re the most gratifying to talk about. I haven’t discussed my favorite movie, Rear Window , as much as I have Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: Secret of the Ooze , and that’s because James Stewart and Grace Kelly never rapped with Vanilla Ice about crime-fighting humanoids (though you never know about Thelma Ritter). The point of it all: Thanks to the infinite, Biblical, pathetic joy that bad cinema produces, we’re exhuming Bad Movies We Love in weekly installments. Throw your vanities in a bonfire and join us!

REVIEW: Isabelle Huppert Stares Down a Revolution in Claire Denis’ White Material

As played by Isabelle Huppert in White Material , Claire Denis’ grim, numinous postcard from post-colonial Africa, Maria Vial is an implacable, impossible force in the almost unbearably attenuated body of a young girl. Our first glimpse of Maria, a sylph with thin, floating limbs, finds her running across richly vegetated land in a pink cotton sundress, alone but somehow pursued.

Gleebasing: Everything’s Better With an Academy Award Winner

Gwyneth Paltrow upstaged every member of Glee ‘s ensemble cast last night while playing the cool substitute teacher to the New Directions. She sang well , proved that it is possible to white-rap without being altogether embarrassing, kept up with Lea Michele in a complicated Chicago song and dance number and fleshed out what could have been another one-note character at McKinley High. If Mr. Schue wants to take a sabbatical (maybe to try out that cruise ship entertainer career he’s been fantasizing about), I’m sure Glee ks would be more than excited to have Holly Holliday fill in long-term. Until then, let’s take a look at the highs and lows from last night’s episode “The Substitute” — and remember, there will be a pop quiz.

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 ]

Lea Michele Wants You to Know She Has Lots of Interviews Scheduled

An added bonus to the rampant success of Glee — besides the fact that the show found a way to make Katy Perry’s “Teenage Dream” tolerable; thanks Darren Criss! — is all the behind-the-scenes gossip that revolves around the Fox smash hit. Is the entire cast having sex with each other, Caligula-style? Did Naya Rivera trash Mark Salling’s car when they broke up? Is Lea Michele the diva-terror everyone claims? Well, about that last one…

Watch Likely Oscar Nominees Get Stoned and Fight Monsters in Your Highness Trailer

I’m picturing director David Gordon Green as a teenager, watching 80’s B-movies while totally high and imagining how amazing it would be if the characters in said B-movies were also stoned out of their mind. At some point, as we all must, he grew out of this phase, and later directed critical darlings like George Washington and All the Real Girls . Then one night it hit him: “Those days on the couch in the 80’s were the best!” Moreover, “What if all of the characters in those movies were totally high?” And thus, we got Pineapple Express and now the NSFW red band trailer to Your Highness , which pits Natalie Portman, James Franco and Danny McBride against three-headed creatures, sorcerers and potent marijuana.

Catherine Hardwicke Finally Makes Her Twilight Sequel with Red Riding Hood

What hath Twilight wrought? Oh, right: A bunch of unappealing rip-offs on both the big and small screen. The latest is Red Riding Hood , which combines Hollywood’s current fetish with rebooting children’s stories (in this case, “Little Red Riding Hood”) with the Jacob portion of Twilight . For those who have been wondering what a Catherine Hardwicke-directed New Moon would have looked like, here’s your answer.
