Moonrise KingdomEven though it's probably been quite a while since you had a childhood crush, I'm certain Moonrise Kingdom will have no trouble bringing back those first love memories for many -- and this time with a wonderfully quirky Wes Anderson twist!

Anderson's latest takes place on an island off the coast of New England in 1965. Sam and Suzy, two wise-beyond-their-years 12-year-olds, fall in love and decide to run away together. But while a hurricane is set to hit the island any moment, authorities (including sheriff Bruce Willis) struggle to find them and bring them back to safety.

Sounds like a sweet and special treat for Wes Anderson fans, but does it deliver? Check out the movie reviews and trailer here:

on the road

Well I never! Did you know that our chaste little Bella (AKA Kristen Stewart) has gone and given not one, but TWO men hand jobs in her newest movie, On the Road? Scandalous! "How will parents who took their daughters to see the Twilightmovies explain this?" scolds conservative media critic Dan Gainor. His readers wring their hands in agony, horrified at the prospect of exposing their innocent children to the horrors of naughty handshakes.

Congratulations, Kristen! You're are a growed-up woman actor now. You know you've made it when you start scaring the pants off conservative groups. But what about Kristen's Twi-hard fans? Can they bear to see their KStew in a threesome?

Robert Pattinson Can't Kill Off His Vampire Side

robert pattinsonThe Twilight Saga will officially come to an end with the release of Breaking Dawn: Part 2 in November, and it's already hard to imagine never seeing Robert Pattinson & Kristen Stewart together on-screen as Edward & Bella after that. Their love story is just so eternal and their characters are going to be impossible to forget. And Robert Pattinson knows this all too well -- because he's totally over being known as Edward Cullen.

In a new interview, he even admits to being afraid of being typecast in that character for the rest of his career. And it's understandable that he's ready to move on and separate himself from the Twilight Saga for good. But the truth is, he's never going to fully shake his vampire persona. Nope. Whether he likes it or not -- he's going to be living in Edward Cullen's shadow for the rest of his life. (Wait a minute -- do vampires even have shadows?)

Brain-Damaged 'Transformers 3' Actress Gets $18.5M for Gruesome Set Accident (VIDEO)

The Transformers movie franchise has been insanely popular, but it's also racked up some record-breaking production expenses. The third film, Transformers: Dark of the Moon, reportedly clocked up a jaw-dropping $195 million in production costs, with Michael Bay admitting that he spent an additional $30 million just for the 3-D effects.

It turns out that the studio has yet another enormous bill to pay for that particular movie, because Paramount has just settled an $18.5 million lawsuit for an accident that occurred on set in 2010. It sounds like just another incomprehensible number—$18.5 million?—but when you read about what actually happened, it's obvious no amount of money can really make the situation better for 26-year-old stunt driver Gabriela Cedillo.

New 'Snow White & the Huntsman' Clip Will Have You Crushing on Kristen Stewart's Prince (VIDEO)

kristen stewart in snow white and the huntsmanIt's a matter of days until Snow White & the Huntsman arrives in theaters, and the hype is surely building. Of course, we know Kristen Stewart has taken on roles other than Bella Swan before, so it's not exactly a first. But still, seeing her as a revolutionary Snow White will be an interesting change of pace! Add in not one but two sexy leading men Chris Hemsworth as Huntsman Eric and Sam Claflin as Prince William -- and the always magnetic Charlize Theron as the ruthless Queen Ravenna, and the cast alone seems like reason enough to want to check out the special effects-packed fairy tale.

If you're itching for more than just the spectacular trailer, you're in luck. We got our hands on an exclusive debut of a sneak peek featurette called "Honorable Prince," in which Sam Claflin speaks to the Prince's relationship with KStew's Snow White ...

'The Great Gatsby' Trailer Will Make You Want to Party Like It's 1922 (VIDEO)

Posted by Julie Ryan Evans

Leonardo DiCaprioRemakes and books made into movies aren't typically high on my list of favorite films. The upcoming version of The Great Gatsby directed by Baz Luhrmann, however, is both, but I can't wait to see it -- especially after seeing the trailer that was just released.

In short, it looks AMAZING. Leonardo DiCaprio plays Jay Gatsby; Carey Mulligan plays Daisy Buchanan; and Tobey Maguire is Nick Carraway. The cast alone is incredible, but then you add in the music (Kanye West and Jay-Z and U2 might seem odd choices, but they work), the costumes, and the whole feel of the era, and the book appears to be coming to life -- albeit with a definite twist. See for yourself after the jump.

Is Selena Gomez's '50 Shades of Grey' Spoof an Audition for the Movie? (VIDEO)

Posted by Mary Fischer

Plenty of actresses are eyeing the role of Anastasia Steele in the Fifty Shades of Grey movie, and now it looks like Selena Gomez could possibly be thrown into the mix as a contender. Yes, Selena Gomez. As in the Disney star. As in Justin Bieber's girlfriend. I don't know whether to laugh or cry out of sheer panic at the thought of her innocent reputation being smeared by mommy porn.

At 19 years old, Selena is no baby, so I guess it really won't be a huge shock if she's toying with the idea of being Christian Grey's love slave. If nothing else, she's definitely interested in the book, judging from the new Funny or Die spoof she made called "Fifty Shades of Blue."

Robert Pattinson Gets an Extremely Sexy Notch in His Leading Man Belt

robert pattinsonKristen Stewart probably hasn't been too terribly worried about any of Robert Pattinson's leading ladies up until now -- but she may be squirming in her seat a little bit now that he's been cast in an upcoming film with the ever-so-sexy Scarlett Johansson. (RPattz & ScarJo? Oh MY!)

Yep -- it's true! Rob and Scarlett are set to star opposite each other in Hate Mail, but I'm guessing there won't be too much "hate" going on between the two of them on-screen, if you catch my drift. If anything, there will likely be a whole lot more lovin' than anything else. What would be the point of putting two major hotties together if they weren't going to hook up?!

Joaquin Phoenix Makes a 'Crazy' Comeback in 'The Master' (VIDEO)

Hey, remember when Joaquin Phoenix randomly announced that he was quitting acting in order to become a rapper and he showed up to David Letterman looking like a drugged-out hobo and it turned out his whole bizarro appearance was all part of a Borat-style stunt for his mockumentary I'm Still Here and it was like OMG DUDE QUIT EATING CRAZY FOR BREAKFAST?

That whole mess really wasn't looking good for Phoenix's once red-hot career, which sucked because I've been a big fan ever since I saw him in To Die For. And how great was he in Walk the Line?

Thankfully, Joaquin Phoenix is finally back, and he's ditched the scraggly beard and stupid late-show tricks. In fact, he looks like he might be bringing the acting performance of his career to date in The Master.

Robin Williams Joins 'Angriest Man in Brooklyn' for One Crazy Cast Lineup

Quick, name the most random possible combination of actors coming together in a high concept comedy. Did you say "Robin Williams, Peter Dinklage, Mila Kunis, and James Earl Jones"? Of course you didn't, because SERIOUSLY HOW RANDOM IS THAT.

Robin Williams (who, by the way, has NOT fallen more than 50 feet to his death in a remote area of the Hahnenkamm mountains) is the latest actor to sign on for The Angriest Man in Brooklyn, an upcoming movie from Field of Dreams director Phil Alden Robinson. If the fascinating cast lineup (Peter Dinklage FTW!) doesn't pull you in, the bizarro plot definitely will.
