"Blame it all on toy envy as a Happy Meal-type toy at a fast-food restaurant yearns to break out of his glass display case to play just like a real toy. He kidnaps Buzz Lightyear in an attempt to take over his play-filled existence... The life-reversal forces the real Buzz Lightyear, voiced by Tim Allen, to deal with a support group for discarded, unloved fast-food toys."
Fri, November 11, 2011 Oscar winner Forest Whitaker, Bruce Willis and Malin Akerman lead an all-star cast in this suspense thriller where everyone has an agenda... and a Magnum to back it up! For Tes (Akerman) and her two cohorts Kara (Nikki Reed, the "Twilight" franchise) and Tara (Deborah Ann Woll, "True Blood"), the job sounded simple enough: intercept a double-cross drug shipment for their crime boss Mel (Willis) at an isolated diner. But when an unstoppable chain of events unfolds, everyone soon realizes no one is who they seem and the job may be something other than eliminating the competition. What started as simple instructions has now turned into a deadly cat-and-mouse game – with large guns pointed at everyone.
Fri, November 11, 2011 Smell that? it's the 80's wafting through this new trailer for Jason Statham actioner 'Safe', and it smells GOOOOOOOD! The voice over man is back, baddies get whooped and it looks like we may even see the softer side of the Stath as he protects a little girl with a photographic memory who has an important code, from all manner of villainous scum.
Thu, November 10, 2011 We knew there was only snowball's chance in hell that The Muppets would be taking Eddie Murphy's place as Oscar host this year, but it was fun to hope it would happen, wasn't it? It's still a good idea - just put Statler and Waldorf up in the balcony to heckle the acceptance speeches that go on too long. Best. Oscars. Ever.
Anyway, with The Muppets set to hit theaters on November 23, promos galore are hitting the interwebs, and along with them, even though they promised not to do any more...a new spoof trailer on Yahoo Movies:
Yes, they've done far too many spoof trailers. But they're still hilarious.
For those sick of the spoofs, there is a new montage video on the Muppets official YouTube channel that's got some good stuff as well:
I can't wait for this movie. And I'm still hoping to see them in some capacity at the Oscars. Seriously, Brian Grazer...make it happen.

That took quicker than expected.
Billy Crystal will return to Oscar-hosting duties after sitting on the sidelines for eight years. Following this tweet from his official Twitter account (See, kids, Billy is still hip! He does the Twitter!):
"Am doing the Oscars so the young woman in the pharmacy will stop asking my name when I pick up my prescriptions. Looking forward to the show."
It's been subsequently verified by Variety, TOLDJA, etc.
So that's that then. After his 2004 duties when the reception was how Crystal's song-and-dance routine was tired and in need of rest, the Academy took to experimenting with awful results. Hugh Jackman was the only one that worked but, for some reason, he decided against hosting a second time. I guess enough time has passed for people to feel nostalgic for Crystal's schtick.
Although shouldn't he feel insulted he's only being turned to now after the Brett Ratner/Eddie Murphy experiment blew up in the Academy's faces and they're crawling back to him now when he made it known for some time he badly wanted to host again?
Thu, November 10, 2011 In the battle between Relativity and Universal, it's been all about one-upping each other with their rival Snow White productions. You got Charlize Theron as the Evil Queen? Well we got Julia Roberts! You're opening in June? Well we're opening in February.
It's been a game of fierce back-and-forth and you'd have to say Relativity claimed victory, if for no other reason than their being the first out the gate early next year with Tarsem's Mirror Mirror. However, Universal has drawn first blood dropping official footage for your viewing pleasure with the trailer for Snow White & the Huntsman, the action-oriented "grim'n'gritty" yarn directed by Rupert Sanders headlined by the afore-mentioned Theron, Kristen Stewart as an armor-clad, sword-carrying fairest of them all and Chris Hemsworth.
Check it out on Apple or below:
Point goes to Universal after watching that.

Less than 24 hours after Brett Ratner "stepped down" (Code: His ass got fired) from producing next year's Oscar telecast, Eddie Murphy (Said to be have accepted the job due to Ratner's participation) has followed suit:
"Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences President Tom Sherak announced that Eddie Murphy has withdrawn as host of the 84th Academy Awards. 'I appreciate how Eddie feels about losing his creative partner, Brett Ratner, and we all wish him well,' said Sherak.
Commented Murphy, 'First and foremost I want to say that I completely understand and support each party’s decision with regard to a change of producers for this year’s Academy Awards ceremony. I was truly looking forward to being a part of the show that our production team and writers were just starting to develop, but I’m sure that the new production team and host will do an equally great job.'
Academy Awards for outstanding film achievements of 2011 will be presented on Sunday, February 26, 2012, at the Kodak Theatre at Hollywood & Highland Center®, and televised live by the ABC Television Network. The Oscar® presentation also will be televised live in more than 200 countries worldwide."
Years from now, Tom O'Neill and Peter Hammond's heads in a jar will deem this "the Tower Heist curse" following Ratner's public fallout (He was a jackass for the "Rehearsing is for fags" remark, but really, Hollywood that's the worst thing someone's ever said?!), Murphy's resignation, Casey Affleck having a building fall on top of him and Matthew Broderick's dick exploding on the Sex & the City 3 set.
