Watch Disney Princesses Get Tough in a Sucker Punch Mash-Up

Yep, the Sucker Punch trailer is cute when remixed with clips of classic Disney princesses. Mulan is really a kickass woman. But this mash-up mostly just reminds me of how many Disney ladies didn’t kick ass. Alice? Esmerelda? Million-watt smiles, disappointing pugilists. Click ahead to watch.

Shiloh Fernandez Talks Red Riding Hood, Skateland and Dissing Kristen Stewart

The most striking observation made during a recent chat with Shiloh Fernandez is that the 26-year-old is a gentle and thoughtful soul in person — sincere, open, and regretful of comments he made recently about his run-in with Kristen Stewart years ago when reading for the role of Edward Cullen in Catherine Hardwicke’s Twilight . Fernandez may not have been meant to play the famous sparkling vampire, but he got another shot at working with Hardwicke when she cast him as the village bad boy in Red Riding Hood , the first romantic lead role in his young career to date. (Plus, he’s an avid Movieline reader. So, you know — bonus points!)

Who Scored Big in Week 17 of SNL’s Relevancy Poll?

This week was the most difficult Saturday Night Live relevancy poll of the season to tabulate. No one cast member dominated the airtime, and with few exceptions, the cast was spread pretty thin throughout the evening. Put it this way: At one point I was thinking, Wow, Abby Elliott is getting a lot of play this week; it sure will be nice to see her finally near the top of the poll. But that faded as it became clear that pretty much everyone got a significant amount of play this week.

Today in Irrational Hollywood Horrors: Fear of Charlie Rose

“The first time he went on the show, promoting Step Brothers , he had a panic attack and started to shake visibly. ‘People are, like, “Oh, my God, are you all right? Do you have Parkinson’s?” You think no one will notice and then you read the comments online, and people are genuinely worried, or, worse, they’re making fun of you.'” Best wishes to Adam McKay in swiftly curing his Charlie Rose jitters; Hollywood’s best celebrity therapist seems to help.

SXSW: All Hail Wiig! Bridesmaids Proves That Chick Flicks Don’t Have to Suck

SNL superstar Kristen Wiig breezed into Austin midnight Sunday for what director Paul Feig accurately termed “Kristen Wiig Appreciation Night” — a double header of this Friday’s Paul followed by a special work in progress screening of this summer’s Bridesmaids . The May 13 comedy marks Wiig’s first honest-to-goodness starring vehicle, an event in itself, but here’s even better news: Bridesmaids isn’t just the smart and grounded antidote to the shrill chick flicks we all hate; it’s the most raunchy, sweet and wonderfully vulgar R-rated comedy in recent memory. Bring it, Hangover 2 .

Watch the Trailer For the Monsters, Inc. Sequel That Never Was

If you’ve been waiting patiently since 2001 for Sully and Mike of Monsters, Inc. to return to the big screen, some bad news: you’re going to have to wait another 20 months. Pixar has scheduled a follow-up for November 2012 — how could they not, considering the original grossed over $500 million worldwide? — but little is known about the project, other than that it won’t be including scenes from the following trailer, assembled by the sequel’s original screenwriters.
