Cool new poster for 'Battle: Los Angeles'

Jonathan Liebesman's upcoming action sci-fi blockbuster is one of a few major flicks I'm looking forward to this year, and the folks at IGN just posted a pretty awesome new poster for the alien invasion movie, which opens in theaters March 11, 2011 and stars Aaron Eckhart and Michelle Rodriguez, among others.

You can admire the one-sheet below. The plot centers on a Marine platoon’s battle against alien invaders in Los Angeles. Bridget Moynahan and Michael Peña co-star, and everything I've seen so far of this looks pretty cool. That said, "Battle: L.A." will have a tough job trying to prove it's got what it takes to match "District 9."

Goodwin, Corbett join 'Ramona' cast

Ginnifer Goodwin, John Corbett and Bridget Moynahan are set to star in Fox 2000's upcoming "Ramona and Beezus."

Elizabeth Allen, whose credits include "Aquamarine," will direct a screenplay by Laurie Craig. "Ramona" is set to shoot next month.

The charming Goodwin is currently onscreen in "He's Just Not That Into You" (okay, she's a little annoying in that film). She also starred in "Walk the Line."

As for Moynahan, she appeared in "I, Robot" and "Lord of War."
