And now, Over The Hedge, is over the edge in what? (from this site)
Just whose backyard is it, anyway? Spring has sprung, and Verne and his woodland friends awaken from their long winter's nap to discover that a large, green hedge has cropped up right through the middle of their once-natural habitat. Enter RJ, an opportunistic raccoon who explains that the world beyond the hedge is "the gateway to the good life" where peculiar creatures called humans live to eat, rather than eat to live. "For humans," RJ proclaims, "enough is never enough." Suspicious and even a little jealous of the charismatic smooth-talking RJ, the ever cautious Verne wants to keep his blended family safely on their side of the hedge. But, proving the adage that one man's garbage is another man's--or, rather, animal's--treasure, the manipulative RJ has his own reasons for convincing the woodland band that there is little to fear and everything to gain from their over-indulgent new neighbors. Eventually, RJ and Verne form an unlikely friendship as they and their furry friends learn to coexist with--and even exploit--this strange new world called suburbia.

When Lucky gets word to O2 that Meat expects $100,000 for Junior's freedom, O2 and Coco seize the opportunity to pit rival elements of the South Los Angeles underworld against each other. "It's either all or nothing," realizes O2.

Stars:
Phyllis Diller, Colette Divine, David Freeman, Mel Gibson, Tom Hanks, Peter Horton, Alexandra Paul, Chelsea Sexton, Martin Sheen, and J. Karen Thomas.

And ‘Who Killed The Electric Car?’ would dwell on what kind of electricity then? (taken from this site)
With gasoline prices approaching $4/gallon, fossil fuel shortages, unrest in oil producing regions around the globe and mainstream consumer adoption and adoption of the hybrid electric car (more than 140,000 Prius' sold this year), this story couldn't be more relevant or important. The foremost goal in making this movie is to educate and enlighten audiences with the story of this car, its place in history and in the larger story of our car culture and how it enables our continuing addiction to foreign oil. This is an important film with an important message that not only calls to task the officials who squelched the Zero Emission Vehicle mandate, but all of the other accomplices, government, the car companies, Big Oil, even Eco-darling Hydrogen as well as consumers, who turned their backs on the car and embrace embracing instead the SUV. Our documentary investigates the death and resurrection of the electric car, as well as the role of renewable energy and sustainable living in our country's future; issues which affect everyone from progressive liberals to the neo-conservative right.

Robert De Niro, Stevie Wonder, George W. Bush, Jeb Bush, James Baker III, Richard Gephardt, Tom Daschle, Jeffrey Toobin, Al Gore, Condoleezza Rice, Donald Rumsfeld, Saddam Hussein, George Bush, Ricky Martin, and Byron Dorgan.

And this documentary, Fahrenheit 9/11, burns on what? (taken from this site)
In this film, muckraker Michael Moore turns his eye on George W. Bush and his War on Terrorism agenda. He illustrates his argument about how this failed businessman with deep connections to the royal house of Saud of Saudia Arabia and the Bin Ladins got elected on fraudulent circumstances and proceeded to blunder through his duties while ignoring warnings of the looming betrayal by his foreign partners. When that treachery hits with the 9/11 attacks, Moore explains how Bush failed to take immediate action to defend his nation, only to later cynically manipulate it to serve his wealthy backers' corrupt ambitions. Through facts, footage and interviews, Moore illustrates his contention of how Bush and his cronies have gotten America into worse trouble than ever before and why Americans should not stand for it.

Produced by:
Steven Nicolaides, Jack Black, and Mike White

So what is Nacho Libre about? (Taken from this site)
Nacho is a man without skills. After growing up in a Mexican monastery, he is now a grown man and the monastery's cook, but doesn't seem to fit in. Nacho cares deeply for the orphans he feeds, but his food is terrible--mostly, if you ask him, a result of his terrible ingredients. He realizes he must hatch a plan to make money to buy better food for "the young orphans, who have nothing" (and if in doing so Nacho can impress the lovely Sister Encarnacion, that would be a big plus). When Nacho is struck by the idea to earn money as a Lucha Libre wrestler, he finds that he has a natural, raw talent for wrestling. As he teams with his rail-thin, unconventional partner, Esqueleto (the Skeleton), Nacho feels for the first time in his life that he has something to fight for and a place where he belongs. As Lucha is strictly forbidden by the church elders at the monastery, Nacho is forced to lead a double life. Disguised by a sky blue mask, Nacho conceals his true identity as he takes on Mexico's most famous wrestlers and takes on a hilarious quest to make life a little sweeter at the orphanage.

Mission: Impossible III

Where do Oscar-winning actors go now that they’ve earned the gold statuette? Right into tormenting Tom Cruise in M:I: III. Apart from new villain Philip Seymour Hoffman, other fresh faces joining the franchise are Keri Russell, Billy Crudup, Jonathan Rhys-Meyers, Michelle Monaghan and Laurence Fishburne. Taking over the writing and directing duties is JJ Abrams, off hot shows Alias and Lost. Wonder if this is a big budget movie…

X-Men: The Last Stand

The mutant sage continues, with the very existence of the X-Men and their ilk in peril and Magneto and Professor X renewing their mortal combat, intellectual division.

The awesome characters are returning, along with the movie’s casting director with the uncanny ability to cast hottie actors in the new roles of Angel (Ben Foster), Callisto (Dania Ramirez), Kitty Pryde (Ellen Page), and Collusus (Daniel Cudmore).

Also in: Beast (Kelsey Grammar), and Juggernaut (Vinnie Jones).

The Da Vinci Code

The movie version of Dan Brown’s controversial novel (still a bestseller three years into its release), takes a bigger risk more than any stunt Tom Cruise or Hugh Jackman this summer blockbuster season.

It’s not a sequel, and its legion of fans will be dissecting every cast member and the explosive plot with a fine-tooth comb.

Which only means your butt in the cinema seat.

Superman Returns

Darker visions and an anti-hero mood may be the 21st century approach to superhero movies, but no one can deny that the truthful, just, and advocate of the American way Superman is the granddaddy of comic heroes.

“X-Men” and “The Usual Suspects” helmer Bryan Singer passionately believes in this tale of a refugee of the Planet Krypton, so expect an engrossing revitalization of the franchise, which picks up the story where 1979’s “Superman II” left off.

Filling in the very large cape is super good looking former soap opera actor Brandon Routh.

Yummy.

The Lake House

“Speed” co-stars Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock reunite in a cinematic remake of Siworae (Il Mare).

The Lake House is a romance that involves letter writing, time traveling, crying, and two very good looking people.

That’s enough for us.

Yey for Keanu and Sandra!

The Break Up

The Omen

Just when you thought it was dead, horror movies have return to invade the box office.

The original 1976 “The Omen” was a key work of the genre, and this remake could give modern viewers a classic taste of deep terror sans gore.

Young, American ex-pat couple Live Schreiber and Julia Stiles adopt a baby, after Stiles miscarries. As young Damien grows, could he be just a little odd or a child of the devil?

In a moment of poetic casting, Mia Farrow (who gave birth to Satan’s child in “Rosemary’s Baby”) plays mysterious Damien’s nanny.

United 93

The first movie to commemorate 9/11 on the big screen arrives five years later, and not without controversy. (Is it too soon to depict the tragic event? Will it exploit the lives of the victims?)

British director Paul Greengrass brought an “indie-European” energy to the blockbuster hit “The Bourne Supremacy”, perhaps making him the right choice to deliver a sober and clear-eyed account of what happened on United Airlines Flight 93.

Headed for Washington DC, but heroically diverted by the passengers to a Pennsylvania field, Greengrass uses REAL TIME (a la 24) approach and non-recognizable performers to bring an unsentimental but ultimately sadder remembrance of those who lost their lives, making this film a substantial document.

The Devil Wears Prada

Directed by:
David Frankel

Writing credits:
Aline Brosh McKenna

Plot outline:
A naive young woman comes to New York and scores a job as the assistant to one of the city's biggest magazine editors, the ruthless and cynical Miranda Priestly.

Starring:
Meryl Streep (Miranda Priestly), Anne Hathaway (Andy Sachs), Emily Blunt (Emily), Stanley Tucci (Nigel), Adrian Grenier (Nate), Tracie Thoms (Lilly), Rich Sommer (Doug), Simon Baker (Christian Thompson), Daniel Sunjata (James Holt), Jimena Hoyos (Lucia), Rebecca Mader (Jocelyn), Tibor Feldman (Irv Ravitz), Stephanie Szostak (Jacqueline Follet), David Marshall Grant (Richard Barnes), and James Naughton (Stephen).

In the dizzying world of New York fashion, where size zero is the new 2, six is the new 8, and a bad hair day can end a career, Runway Magazine is the Holy Grail. Overseen with a finely manicured fist by Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep) ­ the most powerful woman in fashion ­ Runway is a fearsome gauntlet for anyone who wants to make it in the industry.

To make Runway the fashion bible of New York and therefore the world, Miranda has let nothing stand in
her way S including a long line of assistants that didn¹t make the cut. It¹s a job no self-respecting person can survive, yet it¹s an opportunity a million young women in New York would kill for.

A stint as Miranda¹s assistant could blast-open the doors for recent college graduate Andy Sachs (Anne Hathaway). More college drab than haute couture, she stands alone among the small army of ³Clackers² on staff at Runway ­superslim fashion divas clacking their stilettos down the halls of the magazine¹s Manhattan headquarters. But when Andy comes in for the job, it dawns on her that making it in this industry will take more than drive and determination.

And her ultimate test stands before her in head-to-toe Prada.

Miranda can spin the fashion world like a basketball but has a devil of a time finding and keeping a good assistant. Andy is completely wrong for the job. But she has something the rest of them don¹t: she refuses to fail.

To become the perfect assistant, Andy will need to make herself over in Miranda¹s image. Soon, much to her boyfriend¹s (Adrian Grenier) dismay, she can talk the talk, walk the walk (in flawless Manolo¹s) and never again confuse Dolce with Gabbana. But the more of life she sees through Miranda¹s eyes, the more she begins to grasp that Miranda¹s world is a fabulous but lonely one ­ and that sometimes great success depends on great sacrifice but at what cost?

Siblings Darryl (Justin Long) and Trish (Gina Phillips) are on their way home from their freshman year at college. But the trip starts turning dangerous as they see a man in a trench coat and a hat that covers his face dumping something down a pipe. They recognize him as the man who tried to run them off the road earlier and go see what he dumped after he leaves, but what they discover is too terrifying for them. They get help from a crazy woman who has too many cats (Eileen Brennan) and a psychic (Patricia Belcher) before they realize what's been chasing them is an ancient demon known as the Creeper (Jonathan Breck) who eats people to regenerate his parts and he sees something in one of them that he wants for his snack.

Brother and sister, Trish and Darry are taking the long country road home on a break from college when along the way, they encounter a reckless driver trying to ram them off the road - the driver being a strange looking man donning shabby clothing, who seems to have sinister intentions. The siblings soon find themselves investigating the basement of an old decrepit chapel in the middle of nowhere, where there lies horrors that they least expect.

EW Ranks 'Passion' Most Controversial Film

from this site

Mel Gibson's "The Passion of the Christ" ranks as the most controversial film of all time, according to Entertainment Weekly.

The magazine ranks the 25 films that have most shocked, disgusted and divided moviegoers, in its June 16 issue, on newsstands Monday.

EW writes that Gibson's grisly depiction of Jesus' betrayal and crucifixion ignited "a culture-war firestorm unrivaled in Hollywood history." Despite or to some degree, because of the religious uproar, the 2004 film grossed over $370 million at the U.S box office.

Coming in second is Stanley Kubrick's "A Clockwork Orange" Kubrick's 1971 futuristic film is famous for a violent scene during which "Singin' in the Rain" is played. Reports of copycat crimes led to the movie's withdrawal from distribution in Britain.

Oliver Stone has the unique distinction of landing twice on the list: 1991's "JFK," ranked at No. 5, and 1994's "Natural Born Killers," at No. 8.

"The Da Vinci Code," now in theaters, charts at No. 13 for the debates spawned by its tale of a Catholic cover-up. Another recent film, "United 93," ranks at No. 16 because of concerns that it came too soon after the Sept. 11 terror attacks.

Also among the 25: "Fahrenheit 9/11," "Deep Throat," "The Last Temptation of Christ," "The Deer Hunter," "Basic Instinct," "Do the Right Thing" and "Kids."

Lizzie (Ford Model T) – Katharine Helmond
Flo (Motorama Show Car) – Jenifer Lewis

Plot (taken from this site):
En route across the country to the big Piston Cup Championship in California, Lightning McQueen, a hotshot rookie race car driven to succeed, finds himself unexpectedly detoured. He ends up in the largely-abandoned town of Radiator Springs on Route 66, which parallels the real-life town of Amboy, California. McQueen gets to know the town's offbeat characters, who help him realize that there are more important things than trophies, fame, and sponsorship. McQueen discovers that life is about the journey, not the finish line.

It all starts with the final Piston Cup race of the year. Lightning McQueen (a hotshot rookie), The King (a respected veteran), and Chick Hicks (a ruthless cheater) are all tied for the series championship. A photo-finish tie between the three competitors leads to a final tie-breaker race scheduled one week later in California.

After the race, Lightning and his transport truck, Mack, begin an all-night journey across the country towards California. With Lightning sleeping in the trailer, four custom racers play a prank on Mack, causing the sleepy truck to doze off and Lightning to slip off the back onto the interstate highway. Lightning tries deperately to race after Mack but finds himself lost and alone in the middle of the night on rural Route 66. Lightning tries to make it back to the interstate but finds it difficult without any headlights. This speeding car with no headlights soon catches the eye of a small town sheriff. A wild police pursuit ensues, resulting in Lightning tearing up the pavement of the main street in a forgotten little desert town named Radiator Springs. Lightning is caught, impounded, taken to court, and sentenced to repair the street which he destroyed.

At first Lightning McQueen remains arrogant and self-centered, obsessed with nothing else but leaving Radiator Springs and getting to the race in California. After an escape attempt and sloppy road repair, Doc Hudson, the elderly local judge challenges Lightning to a race in the desert. If Lightning wins the race he gets to leave town. If Doc wins the race, Lightning has to complete his sentence and do the work Doc's way. Lightning laughs off this challenge as easy and races to a huge lead while Doc remains at the starting line. Lightning tries to take a tight turn in the dirt and flies off a bluff, getting stuck in a cactus patch just as Doc knew he would. Doc wins the race.

Over the next several days Lightning gradually learns more about the town and its residents. He becomes friends with a dim-witted but loyal tow truck named Mater and with a beautiful Porsche named Sally. Sally shows Lightning why she loves Radiator Springs. She also tells Lightning the story of how Radiator Springs once thrived on Route 66's bustling tourist industry that vanished after the interstate highway was built.

Lightning begins to like Radiator Springs but he remains obsessed with making that sharp dirt turn in the desert. Doc offers his advice but Lightning dismisses the old man's ridiculous notions. Then Lightning discovers that Doc Hudson used to be a great racecar, a three-time Piston Cup champion in the 1950s until a bad wreck ended his career prematurely. Once Lightning discovers Doc's secret, Doc tips off the media as to where Lighning McQueen has been all week and Lightning is quickly wisked away to California in a public frenzy.

Racing for the championship in California, Lightning can't focus as his mind keeps wandering back to Sally and Radiator Springs. He begins the race poorly but becomes revitalized after he discovers that many of his friends from Radiator Springs have come to the race to help him as his pit crew, with Doc Hudson (painted as his old #51 "Fabulous" Hudson Hornet) as his crew chief. Lightning races back into contention and pulls into the lead on the final lap thanks to finally understanding Doc's advice about making that sharp turn back in the desert. With the championship in sight for Lightning, Chick Hicks intentionally causes The King to spin into a horrific wreck. Lightning, remembering how Doc's accident ended his career, slams on his brakes just before the finish line and goes back to help The King. Chick Hicks wins the Piston Cup, but he is booed by the audience and Lightning McQueen wins the admiration of the fans.

Lightning decides to move to Radiator Springs, along with all of his racing operations. Thanks to Lightning's endorsement, Radiator Springs sees a huge boost in tourism and the town is saved.

A summary of the movie (taken from this site):
The X-Men, mutant heroes sworn to defend a world that hates and fears them, are back! This time, with the help of new recruits The Beast and Angel, they must face evolution itself in the form of their former teammate, Jean Grey. Possessed with the cosmic power of the Dark Phoenix, the resurrected Jean Grey has become a danger to herself, her mutant comrades, and the entire planet. To stave off this imminent threat to humanity, a potential cure is discovered and processed to treat -- and ultimately eliminate -- genetic mutations, once and for all. Now, as the battle lines are drawn, the X-Men, led by Professor Charles Xavier, must contend with both Jean Grey's world-consuming powers, as well as the malevolent Brotherhood, a band of powerful mutants organized under Xavier's former ally, Magneto.

In X-Men: The Last Stand, the final chapter in the X-Men motion picture trilogy, a "cure" for mutancy threatens to alter the course of history. For the first time, mutants have a choice: retain their uniqueness, though it isolates and alienates them, or give up their powers and become human. The opposing viewpoints of mutant leaders Charles Xavier (Stewart), who preaches tolerance, and Magneto (McKellen), who believes in the survival of the fittest, are put to the ultimate test -- triggering the war to end all wars.

Mutants are on the verge of X-tinction, it seems, when US business Worthington Industries discovers a cure for mutation. This scientific breakthrough complicates and intensifies the battle - both physical and ideological - between Professor X's (Stewart) integration-friendly X-Men and the human-hating muties let by Magneto (McKellen)...

Summary (from this site):
Stranded on a lonely road, a schoolbus full of high school basketball players, their coaches, and cheerleaders must defend themselves from the Creeper - a flesh-eating ancient beast that resurfaces on the earth every 23 years to feed. Meanwhile, a farmer and his son set out on a personal mission to hunt the Creeper down.

Returning home from a Championship game, a group of varsity basketball players, cheerleaders, and coaches become stranded on the infamous East 9 Highway - only it's the cunning Creeper who has actually crippled their bus. As its 23 horrifying days of flesheating come to an end, the Creeper has embarked on its final voracious feeding frenzy in Poho County. As night falls, the terrified group of young athletes must fight their own fears and prejudices and come together in a seemingly hopeless struggle asainst a winged nightmare, hellbent on stockpiling as many victims as it can on the ultimate night of its grizzly, ritual feast.

Before ‘The Da Vinci Code’ Was ‘Angels & Demons’

Possibly because of the success that “The Da Vinci Code” received, Columbia Pictures is now planning on making “Angels & Demons” into another movie hit. “Angels & Demons” was the first novel Dan Brown wrote before “The Da Vinci Code”. This book was published back 2000 and it was there where Robert Langdon was introduced.

As per the movie, a deal was already signed between Columbia Pictures and Akiva Goldman. Goldman is the Oscar winner screenwriter who did the writing for “The Da Vinci Code” movie version. Goldman would also be doing the “Angels & Demons” screenplay. This has been the only move so far. There were no decisions yet as per Ron Howard (director) and Tom Hanks (actor) coming back for this new one.
