| Director: Michael Patrick King Stars: Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Cynthia Nixon (Full Cast) Studio: New Line CinemaThe Plot: Set four years after we last saw the ladies, Carrie (Parker), Samantha (Cattrall), Miranda (Nixon), and Charlotte (Davis) negotiate their friendships, romances, and careers in New York City. At the center of it all is Carrie's pending nuptials to Mr. Big (Noth) ... THE BUZZ: Sorry if this is obscure (or annoying) but if there's one thing Strangers with Candy the movie taught me, it's this: Don't watch the big-screen versions of your favorite television shows in theaters; experience them at home on DVD, either alone or with your pals -- however you watched the show itself. There's something in a transfer such as this that numbs the overall experience. Yes, we're excited for Carrie & Co. to strut the streets of NYC again (and we're glad that SJP and KC are BFFs, or at least acting like it), but we see no reason to pick out a cute theater-going outfit when you can relax at home in your matched separates by Bitten, surrounded by your own personal Stanford Blatches and/or Steve Bradys, sipping on a Fanta Orange and cough syrup cocktail, waiting to see how the gals look in close-ups ...
Now that Yahoo has the first trailer online, we can start to confirm what we've thought all along -- but we didn't think that Cynthia Nixon would be the one to appear as though she had the most work done since 2004.

| Director: Bryan Bertino Stars: Scott Speedman, Liv Tyler, Gemma Ward (Full Cast) Studio: Rogue PicturesThe Plot: A couple (Speedman and Tyler) cozied up in a vacation home are terrorized by three unknown assailants. THE BUZZ: The problem here, aside from the lack-of-confidence-instilling release date shuffles? Supermodel Gemma Ward playing one of three "masked assailants". Gemma Ward: Sexy, not scary. Unless Naomi Campbell trained her. Message Boards: Masks | casting a supermodel as a masked stranger Showtimes | Trailers | Photos | Message Boards | User Comments | Reviews |
| Director: Jody Hill Stars: Danny R. McBride, Ben Best (Full Cast) Studio: Paramount VantageThe Plot: A down-and-out Tae Kwon Do instructor looks to turn his life around by going on a pilgrimage with his buddy (Hill) and two of his students to see his hero, the martial arts legend Chuck "The Truck" Wallace (Best), at a kung-fu convention. THE BUZZ: It looks like Judd Apatow and his crew might have some competition this year in the form of dynamic writing/acting duo Danny McBride and Ben Best, and their director pal Jody Hill. The trio is being nursed by Will Ferrell and his development partner Adam McKay; their Gary Sanchez Productions is behind the team's HBO pilot East Bound and Down, a sports comedy (Will Ferrel? Sports? Comedy? Go figure.) that should hit the air later this year. Back to Foot Fist ... the indie was shot in 19 days and reportedly has a home-video feel at times, and taste-making reviewers dug it at last year's Sundance Film Festival, though we're unsure why the marketing plan for this one is slow to roll out. It should have been on FunnyOrDie months ago. All reviewers question whether audiences will embrace McBride's caustic, in-your-face performance as a Tae Kwon Do instructor who isn't afraid to attack a 7-year-old kid.
