Michael Bay is notoriously tough on actors — just ask Megan Fox — but it appears he gave new Transformers: Dark of the Moon star Rosie Huntington-Whiteley some preparedness training before he even cast her in the new robot-killing film. Warning: this story involves the desert, high heels, and underwear.

I’m waiting on certain Hollywood legends to find descendents in current cineplex stars. Far as I’m concerned, we’re in dire need of a new Jack Lemmon, a new Shirley MacLaine , and a new Madeline Kahn, along with many, many others. But every so often, a millennial star finds a way to exhume the spirit of an old star while adding refreshing relevance. I present to you the following hypothesis in silver screen genealogy: Cameron Diaz is our new Goldie Hawn .

It’s a pain to waste your time watching a bad movie, but how much more frustrating is it to watch an okay movie and realize how much better it might have been with just a couple tweaks here and there? The Adjustment Bureau was, as the President might say, likeable enough — an intriguing concept, congenial stars, and a cool look to the whole thing — but as Roger Ebert says , it’s “a smart and good movie that could have been a great one if it had a little more daring.” So what are the five easy ways that The Adjustment Bureau could go from DVD recommendation to a must-see-movie?
The rest is here:

Our own Stephanie Zacharek warned you away from the waterlogged cave-bound 3D cheese that is James Cameron’s (executive-produced Avatar technology-wasting favor-to-a-friend) Sanctum , and she’s not alone: many more esteemed critics made it through the Aussie survival adventure with their spirits, eyeballs, and attention spans barely intact. Some saw Sanctum ‘s terrible B-movie dialogue as amusing unintentional camp; will you be so lucky? Rappel down to the depths of Sanctum ‘s most scathing critiques and survey the rocky terrain ahead.

The further away I get from the news that Henry Cavill was cast as Superman , the more I appreciate the Warner Bros. decision. Not because it proves there is some silly conspiracy to hire foreign-born actors to play American icons; rather, because Warner Bros. saved everyone from having to follow along with the endless wheel-spinning short lists that usually accompany the casting of most franchise blockbusters nowadays. (See: the Warner Bros. hunt for Lois Lane as reference .) Still, if we’re going to be subjected to another short list, at least it can include names like Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Morena Baccarin and Cobie Smulders. All three actresses are reportedly up for the role of Nick Fury’s sidekick The Avengers , which got me to thinking: Why isn’t Cobie Smulders more famous?

The mass walkouts were the first indication that Mark Pellington’s I Melt with You was heading for a rocky Sundance reception; even critics who’d made it through couldn’t wait to spill out into the hallways and let the vitriol fly. I Melt with You was, effectively, the first hands-down bomb of the festival. But does Pellington’s midlife-crisis male-bonding thriller — which was picked up today by Magnolia Pictures — deserve all the flack?

Can you feel the excitement? In a mere four days, Inception will hit theaters, melt your face and take its rightful place as the biggest non-animated film of the summer. At least until Salt comes out next week and blows Inception out of the water. Wait, what? Ahead, Movieline dissects why Angelina Jolie’s summer action spectacle is poised to win the box office war with Christopher Nolan’s pedigreed mind-bender.

It seems like The Last Airbender has at least 99 problems — excruciatingly bad 3D, thuddingly clumsy dialogue, sub-Jake Lloydian acting and more — but should the color of its cast really be one of them? When io9 proffered Community actor Donald Glover as a possible new Spider-Man , the internet seized on it as its new favorite meme. Sure, Glover is black while Peter Parker in the movies, TV shows and comic books has always been white, but Glover is hilarious, as Spidey should be, and could have easily played the part. So why was this move lauded while Airbender has been met with protests and picket lines ?

Marvel comics maven Brian Michael Bendis wondered if — in light of recent headlines — Signs was cursed. And seriously, between the critical drubbing of The Last Airbender and the latest allegations of racism levied against Mel Gibson , all that was missing from yesterday’s news cycle was a story about Joaquin Phoenix falling asleep on David Letterman’s front lawn while wearing a chicken suit. What happened here? Will the 2002 blockbuster go down in history alongside Diff’rent Strokes and the Curse of the Billy Goat as a creepy ghost story of coincidence? Ahead, Movieline throws some garlic around its neck and investigates.

Aside from the brief blip of Toy Story 2 in 1999, it seemed that Pixar was a company averse to creating sequels; now, though, they’re positively swamped by them. Toy Story 3. Cars 2 . A second installment of Monsters Inc . And now, while Toy Story 3 had been commonly regarded as the end of that franchise, director Lee Unkrich is reopening the door. “We know that people love the characters, love Woody and Buzz, and would hate to say good-bye to them completely,” Unkrich told MSN. “I don’t know that there would ever be a ‘ [Toy Story] 4 .’ We don’t have any plans for one — but we are trying to find ways to keep the characters alive. We have announced we’re going to do a short film in front of Cars 2 that uses the Toy Story characters. We’re going to keep them alive; they’re not going away forever.” What I’m saying is… maybe they should?
