With her turn in Horrible Bosses earlier this year, Jennifer Aniston likely made a lot of people reevaluate the American sweetheart/mediocre romantic comedy persona she’s cultivated (or been burdened by) over the years. Wanderlust further helps her break that mold in hilarious fashion. Jen and Paul Rudd play a couple who exit the city and take refuge in the country within a community that is … shall we say, socially liberal. Watch the trailer: Wanderlust Trailer Their new community/commune home is filled with people who embrace a free-spirited mentality when it comes to jobs, relationships, clothes … you name it. Produced by Judd Apatow, Wanderlust is also notable as the film where Jen met Justin Theroux, who co-stars in the film and is now her live-in boyfriend. It comes out February 24.
It’s still too soon after Green Lantern for me to embrace Ryan Reynolds as a rugged protagonist. When we erase his comic sensibilities, we’re left with a geometric jawline, bleak opals for eyes (like expensive Frosty the Snowman), and an anxious self-seriousness that Van Wilder would’ve mocked. In the trailer for Safe House , he dons the hero face again playing a hunted man alongside Denzel Washington, who is killing it here. Trailer after the jump.
Trailer references Jonah Hill’s ‘Superbad’ and includes an appearance by a certain ‘Parks and Recreation’ star. By Eric Ditzian Jonah Hill in the “21 Jump Street” trailer Photo: Columbia Pictures The Twitter war between Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum to see who’d get to tweet the “21 Jump Street” red-band trailer didn’t exactly work out as planned. Hill won, yet for some reason didn’t send out the link, so Tatum stepped in and executed the tweetage. But the new footage is nonetheless here. The action-comedy — based on Johnny Depp ‘s ’80s TV series, of course — stars Hill and Tatum as two young cops who join a resurrected undercover unit, pose as students and infiltrate a local high school to get to the bottom of a synthetic-drug ring. Depp’s cameo , unsurprisingly, doesn’t pop up in the new footage, but what else does? Let’s go ahead and take a look at the trailer’s five key moments. A Lifetime of Being Badass Mother$#@*&%s! Yes, that’s basically the professional goal of Schmidt (Hill) and Jenko (Tatum) when they join the police force. Once in uniform, though, badassery is hardly in the job description. Just look at those poor dudes biking around a park, their helmets and shorts almost as lethal to their images as their guns would be to the bad guys. One botched drug bust later, however, and it’s on to the Jump Street squad. Fitting In, Getting High The kids at the drug-filled high school are understandably skeptical of the two new students. As Dave Franco puts it, Tatum looks like he’s 40. So the cops have to fit in, which involves them taking the synthetic drug that comes in a package with a logo that looks, well, like a red pile of dog poop with a halo above it. So what does the drug do? According to the trailer, it makes you run through hallways and be rude to teachers, plus it leaves your tongue feeling really, really weird. Do the Honors, Ron Swanson You knew it was coming, that moment when one character urges a few others to head on down to 21 Jump Street. In theory, there’s something inherently nod-to-the-TV-show cheesy about it. Luckily, the honors are bestowed on Nick Offerman, otherwise known as Ron Swanson from “Parks and Recreation.” In his hands, with that man’s-man beard of his, the line comes out as both hokey and humorous. Well done, Mr. Swanson, or whatever your name in this movie is. The “Superbad” Callbacks The trailer doesn’t just hearken back to Depp’s TV show. It also includes two moments unmistakably linked to Hill’s 2007 breakout comedy, “Superbad.” In one, Hill and Tatum exit a liquor store that looks a whole heck of a lot like the one where McLovin’ tried to score booze for a party. Later, Hill is hit by a car and flung backward, yet isn’t so banged and bruised that he can’t pop off a curse-filled one-liner. Remember how a similar car-crash-and-curse befell Hill outside McLovin’s liquor store in “Superbad”? Guns, F-Bombs and Prom For years, Hill has been promising that his “21 Jump Street” wouldn’t be a parody, some weak-sauce bastardization of the TV series. He wasn’t kidding. This is a hard-R action-comedy filled with foul language, guns galore, a few explosions and the odd sight of Hill asking Tatum to go to prom with him, a date that requires both of them to suit up with enough firepower to take on the T-1000. Now that is a brawl we’d kill to see. Check out everything we’ve got on “21 Jump Street.” For breaking news, celebrity columns, humor and more — updated around the clock — visit MTVMoviesBlog.com .
Todd Phillips doesn’t feel like directing the new Hangover right now, so he’s taking time to helm a cray-zay party movie where a self-declared “uncool” kid throws the bash of the century. Cars jump into pools! Music blares! Girls lick on some popsicles under Fiona Apple “Criminal” lighting! Parents call to make sure everything is going OK. It’s like a grittier version of Blank Check . I’ve been waiting for this since ’94.

After the Shrek series used up its charm on rote third and fourth installments that nevertheless raked in giant piles of box office bullion, the prospect of a spin-off prequel focusing on Antonio Banderas’ swashbuckling, footwear-sporting feline seemed as inevitable as it was unpromising. But Puss in Boots , directed by Chris Miller (who also helmed Shrek the Third ) is a legitimately entertaining prequel that encapsulates what the franchise does best: Breezy action, clever twists on classic figures from fables and grown-up gags tucked in amidst the kid-friendly developments. (“You got any idea what they do to eggs in prison? I’ll tell you this — it ain’t over easy!” the Zach Galifianakis-voiced Humpty Dumpty quavers at one point, in the first prison rape joke I can think of to not only be slipped into a kiddie flick but also highlighted in the trailer.)
Courtney Stodden got ejected from a pumpkin patch this weekend for… well, being Courtney Stodden. According to reports , the 17-year old and her middle-aged husband, Doug Hutchison, were simply minding their own business in Santa Clarita Valley, getting into the Halloween spirit, when parents around them complained about Stodden’s revealing outfit.
Lindsay Lohan mug shots are a dime a dozen. Okay, maybe that’s a slight exaggeration, but when we can compare four of them and still not even use all of the ones in our celebrity mugshot gallery, you know there’s a pattern developing … and that the girl needs a reality check ASAP. After Lohan was jailed briefly last week, she was ordered back in court Nov. 2. If the judge decides to yank her probation, the big house (and another booking photo) could come a-callin’. In the meantime, which of the mug shots below is hottest? Vote!
Justin Timberlake makes his first turn as an action star In Time , out Friday. Now a bona fide A-list actor, the 30-year-old plans a futuristic James Bond of sorts. “I got to live out a lot of boyhood fantasies in this movie shooting guns and getting to learn how to stunt drive,” Timberlake told our partner site, Movie Fanatic. In Time follows Timberlake’s character in a world where money has been replaced by time. What would he personally do if he only had 24 hours to live?
