Seeing all the original stars from "American Pie" back together again for "American Reunion" has me feeling all nostalgic for great high school movies of the past and stuff. I got to thinking that there are a bunch of other beloved films in the genre that I'd love to see take a page from the "American Pie" playbook and make a reunion-style movie. Pending on all of the original cast's participation, of course, I'd gladly pay to see the reunion versions of these five favorites:
To be honest we doubt that Cher, Josh, Dionne and Murray have changed all that much but it would be so great to see what they're up to nearly 20 years later. Amazingly enough, most of the cast members have worked steadily over the years. Paul Rudd is definitely the Mvp of the group and I think Jeremy Sisto takes home the most improved award, »

News Tuesday in a joint statement, noting that they "remain dedicated" to raising their three daughters—Luca, 14, Lola, 9, and Fiona, 5—"together." Last night, just before going public with their family news, Facinelli took his daughter Luca to the Hunger Games premiere in L.A. "Can't hardly wait!" the teen tweeted before the movie.

Have we all recovered from the Oscars? I'm still steamed about Billy Crystal's blackface, but really, it's the horrible, groan-inducing jokes that were the most offensive of all. I just like to fantasize about the Tilda/Charlize/Fassbender crazy Oscar party they must have had together. That would be the place to watch! But now it's March, so awards season is over, and we must move on to new and greener pastures. You know what they say about March, in like a "Lorax" out like a lamb. Right? Something like that. This weekend, "The Lorax" ushers in spring with a little ecology lesson, and "Project X" ushers in Spring Break, Woo! We've also got curiosity "Tim and Eric's Billion Dollar Movie," somehow being released in theaters, Jafar Panahi's house arrest doc "This Is Not A Film" and plenty of other selections in our First Weekend of March Cornucopia. »

Put on your best outfit and break out the booze. It's time to party! This weekend marks the release of the Todd Phillips produced found footage movie, "Project X" — and it could very well be the best party movie of all time, what with cars in the pool, midgets in the oven, and thousands of screaming teenagers. Looks like one hell of a good time to us!
There have been an abundance of crazy party scenes throughout movie history. Whether they take place in a college frat house or outer space, these party scenes are memorable mostly because of how flat out awesome it would be to attend them. Here's a list of the top five party scenes that we would love to have been a part of.

New Todd Phillips-produced movie Project X follows three teenagers' wild house party – but can they live up to the standards set by film's most debauched bashes?
Can't Hardly Wait (1998)
The 'Become The Person You Want To Be' party
The climactic high-school graduation party has been a teen movie staple since the late 70s, but rarely has a film detailed the intricacies of this most drunken rite of passage with quite as much affection as this. Boys become men, nobodies become legends, and jocks become refreshingly self-aware as the student body of Huntington Hills High abandon their established cliques forever.
Beverage of choice
Beer, large quantities thereof. Funnels optional.
High point
The arrival of "Watermelon Guy" (a pre-fame Jason Segel) and his beloved vodka-marinated fruit.
Low point
The next morning, when reformed jock Mike Dexter (Peter Facinelli) slips back into his old ways.
Caligula (1979)
The 'What's Your Preference'? party

With Neveldine/Taylor’s Ghost Rider Spirit of Vengeance opening tomorrow, last weekend I interviewed a lot of the cast in New York City. In the sequel, Johnny Blaze (Cage) is hiding out in Eastern Europe when a motor-cycle riding warrior monk (Idris Elba) recruits him to save a young boy (Fergus Riordan) from the Devil (Ciaran Hinds). The film also stars Violante Placido, Anthony Head, Christopher Lambert and Johnny Whitworth. For more on Ghost Rider Spirit of Vengeace, here’s my Romania set visit, on set interviews, new images, five movie clips, and 12 minutes of behind the scenes footage from when the production was filming in Europe. During my interview with Whitworth we talked about working for Neveldine/Taylor and playing blackout, which part he enjoyed filming the most, karaoke, do more people want to talk to him about Party of Five, Empire Records or Can't Hardly Wait, his favorite movie, »

When Ben P and I first got to The Sundance Film Festival, I wasn't really sure what this year was going to hold for us. It got off to a slow start as far as movies go, but as time went on it got better and better. By the time it was over, I was incredibly happy with how my Sundance 2012 experience turned out. Unlike Sundance Film Festivals of the past I think there were more good films than bad this year. Usually I find the bad outweigh the good, but there was only one movie I absolutely loathed this year, and that was Sean Penn's This Must Be The Place.
This year I saw a total of 27 movies, and out of those I've chosen my ten favorite movies from Sundance 2012. I believe these are all worth seeing when and if they are released. Just keep a look out for them, »

As I'm sure you know by now, Joey and I spent the past ten days in Park City, Utah covering the 2012 Sundance Film Festival. I saw 27 movies and wrote and recorded reviews of most of them (check out all of our coverage here). Since this is the internet and we all thrive on lists, I'll add another one to the fray. Here are my favorite films of Sundance 2012, in alphabetical order:
This thriller about women trapped on an island is often conventional, but it's a solid genre exercise executed with suspense.
Celeste & Jesse Forever
Strong turns from Rashida Jones and Andy Samberg, who are equally capable of delivering drama and comedy.
Can't Hardly Wait for the next generation. Heartfelt, cheesy in all the right ways, and a unique look at the teen sex genre in a post-Superbad world.

Jonathan Kasdan's sophomore film The First Time is an enchanting story of young love aimed squarely at millenials, but its comical dialogue and cheerful tone give it much broader appeal. Similar to last year's Like Crazy, this movie can conjure desire for first love among younger crowds and nostalgia for it in older audiences.
Dave (Dylan O'Brien) is a senior in high school hung up on Jane (Victoria Justice), the girl he's been crushing on for years. Outside the type of lavish, extravagant party that only appear in high school sex comedies, Dave meets Aubrey (Britt Robertson), a junior from another school who catches him rehearsing an embarassing speech as he's about to profess his love for Jane. In the film's long opening scene, the two strike up a conversation that lays the groundwork for their entire relationship, building up to a "will they, won't they" surrounding their first times having sex. »

[1] The First Time is the kind of movie I hope to see at Sundance each year -- a coming of age story which is smart, funny, and able to touch your soul. On Twitter I called the film an indie Can't Hardly Wait for a new generation, and while I'm not sure that comparison is completely valid I'm going to go with it. The story is not set over the course of one night, but instead over the course of one weekend. While Wait was primarily set at a party, a high school party is the starting point for The First Time. This is where Dave Hodgman (Dylan O'Brien) meets Aubrey Miller (Britt Robertson) for the first time. Dave is an awkward, hopeless romantic who has been pining to someday go out with his best friend: the beautiful and popular Jane Harmon (Victoria Justice), who sees Dave as nothing more than the sweet caring. »

[1] It's not so unexpected for a hit movie to get a sequel a year or two out, but it's also becoming increasingly common for franchises to pick up with the characters again ten or even twenty years after the last installment. In this edition of Sequel Bits, we have a handful of possible upcoming projects that look back to the '80s and '90s for inspiration. After the jump: Tim Burton considers getting involved with Beetlejuice 2 Steven Spielberg won't be directing Jurassic Park 4 Edward Burns could revisit his debut The Brothers McMullan, twenty years later Peter Facinelli discusses the possibility (or lack thereof) of a Can't Hardly Wait 2 The announcement [2] of a Beetlejuice sequel initially drew ire from fans who felt that Beetlejuice just wouldn't be Beetlejuice without director Tim Burton and star Michael Keaton. (There, I said it three times.) Writers Seth Grahame-Smith and David Katzenberg were quick to agree, »
