The first teaser trailer is out for the movie adaptation of the wildly popular novel Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief. It's the first in a series of books recounting the adventures of a modern-day boy who discovers that he is the son of the Greek god Poseidon, with all of the attendant powers and perils that auspicious lineage implies.
No real action or dialogue here, but we do get a first glimpse of Percy (Logan Lerman), a pretty cool elevator ride up to Olympus, and the tag line "Some heros are made ... and some are born ... of the gods." Although director Chris Columbus says that he is trying to avoid any of the obvious similarities to the Harry Potter series, the studio clearly recognizes that this is too big a draw to be ignored.

A new still from Gamer shows off the faint holographic controls that the wealthy gaming elite use to control their real-life puppets in this futuristic update of first-person-shooter video games.
We see cyber-gladiator Kable (Gerard Butler) in the thrall of Simon (Logan Lerman). For Kable the penalty for failure is real death. The reward for success is getting to be played again and, eventually perhaps, if he is whole lot luckier than any who have gone before him, freedom.

Because only in this bizarre world we live in are Jessica Alba and Paul Walker considered major stars too good for -- and too talented for! -- cheesy, low-budget, exploitation moviemaking. And so they get replaced with, you know, beautifuler, dumber people in the straight-to-dvd sequel. Not that you’d know that from this sales copy, which hopes you’ll be misled into thinking that Walker and Alba are back: Beautiful reefs and unsavory transgressions meet again in this sequel to the hit action-adventure thriller starring Jessica Alba, Paul Walker, and Josh Brolin. This time the danger is foisted upon unassuming professional scuba divers Dani (Laura Vandervoort) and Sebastian (Chris Carmack), a young, money-strapped couple who can’t turn down the hefty compensation offered by some suspicious clients who want to take a tour of the local Hawaiian reefs. Far from land and anyone who can help, Dani and Sebastian

It’s safe to assume that Jessica Alba is not a fan of George W. Bush, Bill O’Reilly and the Fox News channel. Fox News was interviewing her on the red carpet at the "Declare Yourself" party on January 18 in Washington, D.C. where Alba declined to give a shout-out to O'Reilly saying, "He’s kind of an a--hole. A little bit." The producer then asked "How so?" To which she replied, "I don't know how he does it...maybe he was born that way," she answered with a smirk. The producer then asked...
