Final Destination 5

Gambar
Director: Steven Quale Stars: Nicholas D'Agosto , Emma Bell , Arlen Escarpeta ( Full Cast ) Studio: Warner Bros. Pictures The Plot: Teen survivors of a suspension-bridge collapse soon begin to fear that there's no way you can cheat Death. Photos ( See all 3 | slideshow ) Videos ( see all 3 ) THE BUZZ: Emma Bell's TV work on "The Walking Dead" ramps up the cool factor for the reportedly last installment (wheeze) of the horror genre's Franchise with the Best Sense of Humor. And a Tony Todd appearance is always welcome (hmm, one of the producers here must've really loved Hatchet II ?). No disrespect to the inventiveness of its predecessors, but the idea of watching a suspension bridge undo itself in 3D is the first time we've felt legitimately scared by an FD premise.

Rise of the Planet of the Apes

Gambar
Director: Rupert Wyatt Stars: James Franco , Andy Serkis , Freida Pinto ( Full Cast ) Studio: Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation The Plot: In present day San Francisco, a scientist (Franco) looks for a cure for Alzheimer's disease by experimenting on a chimpanzee named Caesar. The development of animal intelligence brings about a war for supremacy between humans and apes. Photos ( See all 3 | slideshow ) THE BUZZ: Really we're looking forward to James Franco's sleepy-eyed justifications for the origins story, Andy Serkis's motion-capture work as Caesar, and the reunion of director Rupert Wyatt and Brian Cox, who starred in Wyatt's excellent debut, The Escapist . We'll give this one a chance, but the number of writers who have experimented on this script is worth noting, as is the release-date juggling -- first early summer, then winter, now late summer. Could be a case of fans vs. Fox -- a familiar battle. For...

The Smurfs

Gambar
Director: Raja Gosnell Stars: Hank Azaria , Katy Perry , Jonathan Winters ( Full Cast ) Studio: Columbia Pictures The Plot: The little blue creatures of Smurf village move to New York City after the evil wizard Gargamel chases them out of their mushroom-like homes in the forest. Photos ( See all 10 | slideshow ) Videos ( see all 10 ) THE BUZZ: Parents: It's time to talk to your kids about "smurfing." This CGI update to the Saturday morning staple with a cast straight out of a Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards show stands a good chance of reviving the once-smurfy trend of randomly replacing every word possible with variations of the word "smurf". But, don't look for it to end the flood of '80s flashback films (we kinda hoped The A-Team would do that). Remakes such as Footloose , Conan and Red Dawn are smurfing up all over. Message Boards: You people should not judge this movie be...

Crazy, Stupid, Love.

Gambar
Director: Glenn Ficarra John Requa Stars: Steve Carell , Ryan Gosling , Julianne Moore ( Full Cast ) Studio: Warner Bros. Pictures The Plot: A married guy (Carell) tries to balance handling a crisis with his wife (Moore), attending couples therapy, and maintaining his relationship with his kids. Photos ( See all 4 | slideshow ) Videos ( see all 3 ) THE BUZZ: Sound funny to you? Well, we hear both Carell and Gosling (playing the marriage counselor) have never been more comedic (well, Gosling has only had the chance to be creepy-funny) than in this script by getting-hot Dan Fogelman. With this cast, concept, and a major studio behind them, may we finally see the full promise of co-directors Glenn Ficarra and John Requa ( Bad Santa , I Love You Phillip Morris ).

Cowboys & Aliens

Gambar
Director: Jon Favreau Stars: Daniel Craig , Harrison Ford , Olivia Wilde ( Full Cast ) Studio: Universal Pictures The Plot: In Silver City, Arizona, Apache Indians and Western settlers must lay their differences aside when an alien spaceship crash lands in their city. Photos ( See all 15 | slideshow ) Videos ( see all 14   NEW ) THE BUZZ: No offense to anything in the Tony Stark world, but we became most interested in this sci-fi/western when Robert Downey Jr. stepped away from the project and Good Ol' Daniel Craig came aboard for Sheriff Jon Favreau. Surrounding Craig with Sam Rockwell, Harrison Ford, Paul Dano, Clancy Brown, and Keith Carradine? Such a cast could start a neo-Western revolution. Also, with a screenplay by "Lost"'s Damon Lindelof and the Roberto Orci / Alex Kurtzman enterprise, this could be the first time a blockbuster earns an Oscar nomination for writing. We're just...

Friends with Benefits

Gambar
Director: Will Gluck Stars: Mila Kunis , Justin Timberlake , Patricia Clarkson ( Full Cast ) Studio: Screen Gems The Plot: While trying to avoid the clichés of Hollywood romantic comedies, Dylan (Timberlake) and Jamie (Kunis) soon discover however that adding the act of sex to their friendship does lead to complications. Photos ( See all 35 | slideshow ) Videos ( see all 5 ) THE BUZZ: We've been quietly amazed by Mila Kunis's transition from TV star to supporting actress on the big screen, and now she and JT combine their powers as they both make their leading-role debuts in director Will Gluck's follow-up to Easy A . Both performers are effortlessly funny, and all that ho-hum talk about how 2011 is the year of the friends-with-benefits comedy is just frustrated blogger runoff. If the entire film is half as enjoyable as the trailer, this could be the comedy of the season, even if you can telegra...
