Final 'Captain America' contenders!

The race for the role of "The First Avenger: Captain America" is hearting up, and as Heat Vision reports, about seven actors are left in the competition. And now the big shock: John Krasinski is one of them fighting for the lead in the upcoming superhero flick.

Wait, what? That's right. Krasinski is apparently on the list, and so are Michael Cassidy, Patrick Flueger, Scott Porter and Mike Vogel. Word is even Chace Crawford may show up at the screen tests, which are underway this week at Marvel. Joe Johnston will direct the film.

Even though these people are doing tests this week, Marvel may end up deciding to go look somewhere else. Still, the idea of seeing someone like Krasinski in the main role seems strange, even though I love him as an actor. I would never doubt his skills.

Johnston also recently gave a "Captain America" update, which you can check out here. The question remains: who would you like to see slip into the role of the Captain?

'She's Out of My League' looks anything but funny

No year will pass without unnecessary comedies, and it already looks like I'm going to be busy dreading many movies in theaters this year. The latest addition: Jim Field Smith's upcoming comedy "She's Out of My League," due in theaters March 12, 2010.

A new trailer for the flick is now online, and you can check it out below. Before I even get to the synopsis, let me just say that this one already looks like a total failure. Yes, Jay Baruchel can be a funny guy and all, but this just looks lame.

Baruchel plays Kirk, some kind of loser who works as an airport security agent. He's not the luckiest guy in the city, until a hot babe who loses her phone at the airport falls for him. Of course, he has absolutely not clue how to handle her.
