Awesome teaser trailer for 'Cowboys & Aliens'

Yes, I'm definitely sold already. Of course, I am referring to Jon Favreau's upcoming sci-fi adventure "Cowboys & Aliens," which now has a pretty awesome first teaser trailer you should check out just above.

The movie arrives July 29, 2011, which seems like forever away, given my excitement about it. Daniel Craig, Harrison Ford, Olivia Wilde, Sam Rockwell, Paul Dano and Noah Ringer star in the spectacle.

Based on the popular graphic novel by Fred van Lente and Andrew Foley, the film focuses on how Indians and cowboys team up to battle invading aliens. It goes without saying "Aliens" looks really cool!

Movie Review: "Iron Man 2"

Seen on: May 4, 2010

The players: Director: Jon Favreau, Writer: Justin Theroux, Cast: Robert Downey Jr., Mickey Rourke, Sam Rockwell, Don Cheadle, Gwyneth Paltrow

Facts of interest: Stay put at the end of the credits! A surprise awaits you!

The plot: Tony Stark is back in action, and this time, he has to battle Whiplash, who teams up with Justin Hammer to bring down Iron Man for good.

Our thoughts: Tony Stark is back in action in Jon Favreau’s anticipated sequel “Iron Man 2,” and while the lead hero is still in solid shape, the movie itself is showing some weaknesses. No, it’s not a big deal, really, but compared to its fantastic predecessor, “Iron Man 2” falls a bit short. That’s not to say the movie sucks, because truth be told, it’s still a very entertaining, explosive second installment.

New 'Iron Man 2' clips invade the web

Two new clips from Jon Favreau's upcoming sequel "Iron Man 2" have hit the online world today, and you should check them out after the jump. No, no big action stunts in these, but if you'll take the time to watch them, I promise you'll be in for some good old "Iron Man" humor. Hey, that's not that bad, right?

In the first clip, Robert Downey Jr. aka. Tony Stark is debating with Gwyneth Paltrow's Pepper Potts. They are talking about Stark's interest in Natalie Rushman (Scarlett Johansson) for the position of his new assistant. Clip no. 2 is a funny little talk between Stark and his rival Justin Hammer (Sam Rockwell).

"Iron Man 2" opens May 7, 2010, and the press folks in Los Angeles already got to see the flick. We over here have to wait a little longer, but I would be lying if I said I was not excited about this. In fact, I can't wait to see this thing. On top of that, I wil make sure to catch it in IMAX, and so should you, don't you think?

'Iron Man 2' trailer looks totally awesome!

YES! The very first trailer for Jon Favreau's upcoming "Iron Man 2" has landed online, and I highly encourage you to check it out after the jump. This really looks like one badass, awesome sequel, folks!

I want to share my excitement with you because I absolutely loved the first "Iron Man." Pretty much everything worked for me in the film, and I've been waiting for the follow-up ever since I saw No. 1.

"Iron Man 2" won't open until May 7, 2010, but this great trailer gives us something to look forward to. We catch a good look at Whiplash (Mickey Rourke), War Machine (Don Cheadle) and even Black Widow.

The trailer is visually stunning as well, and it seems like Stark is keeping his dry humor. Only this time, the world knows he's Iron Man. Additionally, he has to fight a bunch of mean bad boys at the same time.

Review: "Everybody's Fine"

Seen on: November 30, 2009

The players: Director: Kirk Jones, Writer: Kirk Jones, Cast: Robert De Niro, Drew Barrymore, Kate Beckinsale, Sam Rockwell

Facts of interest: Kirk Jones also directed "Nanny McPhee."

The plot: A widower decides to embark on a journey to visit his busy children.

Our thoughts: The troubled characters in “Everybody’s Fine” are all okay by the end of the movie, but their road to happiness sure is a tedious one. No, I really didn’t enjoy Kirk Jones’ latest family drama, and one of the reasons why I couldn’t connect with it is the film’s predictability and lack of a sophisticated story line.

International teaser poster for 'Iron Man 2'

Earlier this week we got a good look at the first teaser poster for Jon Favreau's upcoming sequel "Iron Man 2," and now, Empire has released the international poster for the film that opens May 7, 2010.

International posters are often a tad more exciting than the domestic versions, but this one certainly isn't. To tell you the truth, I'm a bit disappointed. Check out the much better, more original U.S. poster here.

Robert Downey Jr. returns as Tony Stark, and he's got his hands full in "Iron Man 2." Don Cheadle stars as War Machine, Sam Rockwell plays Justin Hammer, and Mickey Rourke plays Whiplash.

First 'Iron Man 2' poster kicks butt already!

"Iron Man 2," the anticipated sequel to "Iron Man," won't open in theaters until May 7, 2010, but a first poster for the action flick has just now hit the Web, courtesy of the folks at Yahoo! Movies.

It's only a first one-sheet, but it's already badass, don't you think? Iron Man himself looks great, and this poster also gives you a first look at the mean War Machine, a role played by Don Cheadle.

So, what do you think? Scarlett Johansson (Black Widow), Sam Rockwell (Justin Hammer), Mickey Rourke (Whiplash), Samuel L. Jackson, Kate Mara, Clark Gregg, and Gwyneth Paltrow co-star in the sequel.

Watch Robert De Niro in 'Everybody's Fine' trailer

This looks like something that could be a sweet, amusing dramedy: Kirk Jones' upcoming "Everybody's Fine," which stars Robert De Niro, Kate Beckinsale, Drew Barrymore and Sam Rockwell and will hit theaters Dec. 4, 2009. Check out the film's first trailer after the jump.

In the flick, a widower (De Niro) embarks on an impromptu road trip to reconnect with each of his grown children only to discover that their lives are far from picture perfect.

Of course, the first thing that intrigues me here is the solid cast, which I'm really looking forward to experience in this film. I mean, who wouldn't want to see De Niro, Beckinsale, Barrymore and Rockwell work together?
