New poster for 'The Company Men'

Can't get enough of Ben Affleck these days? If the answer's no, then you may be looking forward to the Oct. 22, 2010 release of "The Company Men," which stars Affleck in the lead. Here is the new poster!

"Men" is set during a slowing economy and follows a successful career man (Ben Affleck) who struggles with his financial situation after he suddenly loses his job. The same happens to two of his co-workers.

Chris Cooper, Tommy Lee Jones, Kevin Costner, Maria Bello, Craig T. Nelson and Rosemarie DeWitt co-star, and yes, that is quite an impressive cast. Trailer looks a little sappy, but this poster works for me.

Intense poster for 'The Tempest' hits

Yahoo! Movies today debuted the first poster for Julie Taymor's upcoming version of "The Tempest," starring Helen Mirren, Russell Brand, Alan Cumming, Alfred Molina, Djimon Hounsou and Chris Cooper.

See poster below. In the flick, the gender of Prospero has been switched to Prospera. Going back to the 16th or 17th century, women practicing the magical arts of alchemy were often convicted of witchcraft.

Prospera is usurped by her brother and sent off with her four-year daughter on a ship. She ends up on an island; it's a tabula rasa: no society, so the mother figure becomes a father figure to Miranda.

This leads to the power struggle and balance between Caliban and Prospera; a struggle not about brawn, but about intellect. "The Tempest" is expected to hit theaters Dec. 10, 2010. Looking good so far...

Movie Review: “Remember Me”

Seen on: March 13, 2010

The players: Director: Allen Coulter, Writer: Will Fetters, Cast: Robert Pattinson, Emilie de Ravin, Chris Cooper, Pierce Brosnan, Tate Ellington

Facts of interest: Allen Coulter also helmed "Hollywoodland."

The plot: A young man who struggles with the death of his brother meets and falls for a young woman whose mother was murdered when she was a kid.

Our thoughts: Will I remember Allen Coulter’s tragic drama “Remember Me” in a week? Chances are I won’t, but believe it or not, it’s actually not Robert Pattinson’s fault. The guy who lacks bite in the “Twilight” flicks really manages to deliver a better performance here, but sadly enough, it’s the script he’s working with that doesn’t stick.

She joins Affleck, Jon Hamm, Rebecca Hall and Jeremy Renner. According to the Hollywood Reporter, the awesome Chris Cooper is also in talks to join the Warner Bros./Legendary project, and I can only hope he does.
