The Plot: Peter Parker (Maguire), a.k.a. Spider-Man, faces a series of new challenges and threats as he embraces public adulation for the first time. His new-found self confidence causes him to take his relationships for granted -- namely his union with M.J. (Dunst), which is tested by the presence of the doting Gwen Stacy (Bryce Dallas Howard). Self-assuredness also comes into play as he faces not one, but two powerful villains: Sandman (Church), an escaped convict made powerful by a nuclear explosion, and Venom (Grace), a parasitic life form from our hero's past.

THE BUZZ: Production on S-M 3 started quietly (and much less dramatically than its predecessor) in November, 2005. There were no chubby Tobey stories in the trades, no rumors of Jake Gyl replacing him ... just reports that our hero will face down not one, but two of his fiercest opponents. The formula rebooted the Batman franchise, and it's all but a guarantee to help make the third film in the series the most successful yet. Poor Topher Grace is facing the same fanboy scrutiny that Maguire himself weathered back when he was originally cast. In our minds, the actors are wonderfully paired. Though what's with the emphasis on the blondish boys and the minimal appearances of Mary Jane and new rival Gwen?

THE BUZZ: Director Douglas Mackinnon spent over a decade nurturing this story, which looks to help make Trainspotting's Sick Boy a slightly bigger star in America (NBC cast him in their hopeful pilot, Eli Stone). Graeme Obree himself took turns with Jonny Lee Miller by acting as his double for some of the cycling sequences.

THE BUZZ: Sarah Polley has spent nearly all of her life on indie film sets, and the experience has given her a heightened sense of ennui, as she's set to truly bum your stone with her directorial debut. The funny thing is: few people expected the film, despite its stunning cast, to survive once its festival tour was over. And now it's being positioned as a blockbuster-buster.

Check out Fresnadillo's little-seen debut, Intacto, to soothe any concerns you have about the man's abilities to tell a story. And thank whomever that Fox Atomic got around to releasing a second trailer, which successfully framed this project as a worthy follow-up. Completists probably already know that a graphic novel that bridges the two movies is currently available.

THE BUZZ: A romantic comedy starring a guy and a gal who each have their own flagging NBC show. Did it just get really cold in here? The Ex (f.k.a. Fast Track) was indeed rushed into production earlier this year, back when Zach Braff was the hottest slacker in town. But then he gave us The Last Kiss and broke it off with Mandy Moore, causing his stock to plummet. However, we're feeling optimistic about this comedy. It feels like a movie Ben Stiller should have made ten years ago -- and that's a good thing, as Braff can make broad appeal non-annoying. And even though Amanda Peet can't quite get the Sorkin cadence down on "Studio 60," she looks set redeem herself as Braff's beleaguered spouse. And, of course, co-star Jason Bateman and bit-player Amy Poehler should supply plenty of one-liners to recite days after the happy ending.

THE BUZZ: So many Iraq projects being made, they're starting to blur together. HotB first distinguished itself as the one with the dubious casting. The mere mention of 50 Cent was enough to set message boards afire, and for the rapper/actor to start using the name his mama gave him; losing Eva Mendes was a bummer (she opted out for We Own the Night); then, of course, there's the presence of Chad Michael Murray in a supporting role. Never mind the fact that it's not the most patriotic of all the current war pictures: early on in the production, a crew strike (both union and non-union folks were working together) threatened to move the production from Spokane, Washington to British Columbia, Canada. Our advice: Rent any number of the good-to-excellent Iraq War documentaries that have been released over the last two years. And if you can stomach the realness, at least wait for Peter Berg's The Kingdom instead.

THE BUZZ: Though it once appeared to be heading straight to DVD, Chris Pine's newfound status as an minor celebrity helped this sweet-natured sex comedy earn a limited theatrical release. Maybe the fact that it looks completely inoffensive is the film's tragic flaw.

THE BUZZ: Director Julia Loktev's debut film has received high priase (including a pair of Independent Spirit nominations) for her take on domestic terrorism. With her nameless protagonist, low budget heroics (including a stellar sequence pulled off in Times Square without filming permits), and keeps-you-guessing story turns, DNDN is, in our opinion, the most anticipated mystery since Cache.

THE BUZZ: No offense to either Hal Hartley or Parker Posey, but: instead of this sequel, why not just make a new movie together? Reunite with Martin Donovan, brainstorm a storyline over a few long weeekends, shoot it in digital, and score a day-and-date release with HDNet. It's certainly better than risking the integrity of what many call your best film.

THE BUZZ: Tracy Letts adapts his own stage play for director Friedkin, who just might be flirting with his first bona fide commercial success in years.
