This is the kind of movie where you expect all the funny parts to be what you saw in the trailer spots on TV. It starts a bit slow and no doubt about it, this movie is crude, vulgar, childish, nerdy and hilarious. Directed by actor and filmmaker David Wain and written by Paul Rudd.

Role Models is a comedy about two loser-slacker- underachievers (they hawk energy drinks at public schools, we all know or knew of people like that in) Each of them has to play big brother to a kid with major adjustment problems. Wheeler (Seann William Scott) loves his work, but Danny (Paul Rudd), who suspects the drink may be poisonous, loathes it. He vents his discontent to his girlfriend, Beth (Elizabeth Banks), a successful lawyer, who becomes so fed up with his bellyaching that she dumps him. After an especially dismal presentation in which Danny veers off script and disparages Minotaur, he goes ballistic in a traffic dispute that destroys the company truck; both he and Wheeler receive 30-day jail sentences. The unlikely pairing of Seann William Scott and Paul Rudd pays off big time. They balance each other out, and both get their fair share of laughs.

Casey Affleck and Jessica Alba teaming up with Michael Winterbottom for "The Killer Inside Me," a thriller based on Jim Thompson's classic noir novel. Affleck will play Lou Ford, a West Texas sheriff who seems to be an ordinary guy, if somewhat boring, dumb, and lazy. However, he's slowly revealed to be a disturbed man, paranoid and sociopath, with a penchant for murder. If you've seen Affleck's Oscar-nominated turn in "The Assassination of Jesse James By the Coward Robert Ford," you'll know how scary and unsettling he can be. Alba plays a prostitute, thus ensuring most red-blooded males buy a ticket.

This is one of those rare films that seems to have everything going for it. The novel was made into a 1976 film starring Stacy Keach. Oklahoma-based Indion Entertainment Group is financing, as is Barbarian Films and Oceania Media Finance. Wild Bunch is handling worldwide sales. Starting date is planned to be mid-January. Alba most recently appeared in "The Love Guru" and Affleck most recently starred in "Gone Baby Gone".

Check out the pictures of Jessica Alba at the premier of Filth and Wisdom which was the directorial debut of Madonna in New York.

Sweetheart, Jessica Simpson is number one after the huge hit of her movie "Major Movie Star". The movie debuted at the top of the box office earlier this month, however it has never opened here in the United States nor is the release date set. No fewer than 15 producers are listed on the credits of "Major Movie Star" including Jessica's enterprising dad, Joe. The director was Steve Miner, whose credits are mostly from television. In the movie Simpson plays the title role of Megan Valentine in the comedy, about a down-on-her-luck actress who enlists in the United States Army.

The movie is described as "similar" to Private Benjamin (1980), though many accuse it of being a remake. The movie is about an actress down on her luck with trying to impress a producer and studio that she's fit for their upcoming military-themed movie. To win the role and prove them wrong, she joins the Army. Jessica Simpson has said she is taking on the movie because "it is something Goldie Hawn (star of Private Benjamin) would do.

Burn After Reading is the Coen brother's (Joel and Ethan Coen) first original screenplay since The Man Who Wasn't There back in 2001. As we know their urge for comic taste, creative violence and a slightly mocking eye for detail are very much visible in this movie. The main star casts of the movie are George Clooney, John Malkovich, Frances McDormand and none other than Brad Pitt. What a line up!

It is a great spy film, and it's hard to think of anyone less suited to a life of crime than Pitt's character Chad. Chad is a bouncing puppy of a man; a fitness trainer at Hard Bodies gym and the best buddy of fellow Hard Bodies employee Linda (McDormand). Linda has an aching loneliness inside which she attempts to fill with unrewarding hook ups on Internet dating sites and the dream of a new life bought through extensive cosmetic surgery. But all the butt-sculpting and face-stretching that she requires comes at a price, so when the gym cleaner finds a disk that appears to contain what Chad describes as "top secret sensitive shit" Linda scents the chance of a windfall and Chad skips happily along beside her.
