Hugh Grant Returns To Being Hugh Grant, Lines Up Rom-Com With 'Two Weeks Notice' Director
While playing a variety of baddies, in equally numerous wigs in The Wachowskis and Tom Tykwer's forthcoming "Cloud Atlas" might be a fun lark, it's not the kind of role that pays the bills for Hugh Grant. He's a romcom man, and when he's charmingly befuddled, audiences tend...

A pleasant surprise arrived today in the form of a lengthy trailer for "Cloud Atlas," the much-anticipated adaptation of David Mitchell's novel by The Wachowskis and Tom Tykwer.

Review: 'Pirates! Band Of Misfits' Is A Treasure Trove Of Visual Wonder
In John Ortved's unauthorized oral history of "The Simpsons," he recounts how an edict was posted in the writers' room of the influential animated series.

Watch: Another Chucklesome Trailer For Aardman Animations's 'The Pirates! Band Of Misfits'
In the era of Disney's multi-billion dollar "Pirates of the Caribbean" franchise, it's easy to forget that, for most of the 20th century, the idea of a film revolving around swashbucklers and sea dogs was pretty much box office poison.
