<p>You know Megan Fox. Actress, model, woman of your dreams? You know the one who starred in the first two Transformers movies? The one you&#8217;ve mocked for her Gamertag on Xbox Live?</p>
<p>Wait..what?</p>
<p>Yep, if you&#8217;ve been on Halo: Reach lately and played online against a girl with a strange gamertag, you may have made fun of one of the hottest actresses in America.</p>
<p>&#8220;I have Halo: Reach, but I am playing online. I don&#8217;t really play in story mode anymore,&#8221; the actress confessed to Collider.</p>
<p>Though Fox didn&#8217;t say exactly what her gamertag was for obvious reasons, she did say that it&#8217;s the main reason gamers &#8212; mainly men make fun of her. &#8220;&#8221;Xbox Live players have no idea. They make fun of my gamertag because it is funny, and they are all a bunch of guys and it is clear that I am a girl so they make fun of my name, and they have no idea they are making fun of me,&#8221; she added.</p>
<p>It just goes to show you, be nice online kids &#8212; you could be making a friend of a supermodel/actress/robot fighter</p>

		<description><![CDATA[“The great thing about doing movies with lots of stunts is that it feels as if I’m having the athletic experience I never had in high school,” says Olivia Wilde when asked about filming action scenes for her upcoming film &#8220;TRON: Legacy&#8221; in Playboy’s December 20Q (issue on newsstands and online at www.playboydigital.com on Friday).  [...]]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="KonaBody"><p><a href="http://blastmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/62374425bmediaventures11102010120316PM.jpg" rel="lightbox[53122]" title="(WireImage)"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-53123" title="(WireImage)" src="http://blastmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/62374425bmediaventures11102010120316PM-216x300.jpg" alt="" width="216" height="300" /></a>“The great thing about doing movies with lots of stunts is that it feels as if I’m having the athletic experience I never had in high school,” says Olivia Wilde when asked about filming action scenes for her upcoming film &#8220;TRON: Legacy<em>&#8221; </em>in <em>Playboy’s </em>December <em>20Q</em> <strong>(issue on newsstands and online at <a href="http://www.playboydigital.com/" target="_blank">www.playboydigital.com</a> on Friday)</strong>.  The brunette beauty goes on to explain, “I was a theater nerd, and I always envied my friends on the field hockey and soccer teams.  They had a relationship with their coach that was so supportive…working with these movie stunt teams, I’m finally able to experience that.  You can show up weak and scrawny for a movie, with 80 percent body fat, and they’ll say, ‘You can do these stunts!’  For actors who weren’t athletes in high school that’s an amazing feeling.”</p>
<p>Wilde, oft deemed one of the sexiest women in Hollywood, sat down with Playboy Contributor Eric Spitznagel to discuss her upcoming movies &#8212; &#8220;TRON: Legacy,&#8221; which opens on December 17, and &#8220;Cowboys &amp; Aliens,&#8221; which comes out in July 2011; being married to an Italian prince; her opinion of blondes; Jeff Bridges; Hillary Clinton; and Megan Fox. Following are selected quotes from the interview:</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>On the skintight suit she wears in <em>TRON: Legacy</em>: </strong>“My costume is actually the toughest, most bada*s thing I’ve ever seen…It would be difficult to be a stripper in that suit because it’s almost impossible to get it off.  It would be a three-hour striptease and you’d need at least five assistants onstage with you.”</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>On her <em>TRON: Legacy</em> co-star Jeff Bridges:</strong> “The thing about Jeff is, in a lot of ways he really <em>is</em> the Dude [from <em>The Big Lebowski</em>].  He has an inner peace I tried to learn from and this easy-going, come-what-may, go-with-the-flow attitude that’s such a joy to be around.  Nothing really fazes him.  With Jeff it’s all going to be okay.”</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>On Megan Fox’s declaration that Olivia is so sexy it makes her “want to strangle a mountain ox”:</strong> “I thought it was a witty, clever choice of words.  There are a lot more boring ways to compliment someone, and it’s rare when actors in this business compliment each other…Shortly after Megan said that, a writer on <em>House </em>who’s also one of my best friends drew a mountain ox on my dressing room mirror and underneath it wrote SAVE ME, OLIVIA! PLEASE MAKE OUT WITH MEGAN!”</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>On how she’s made her onscreen lesbian kisses believable:</strong> “Acting is acting.  It’s not as if I play myself most of the time and kissing a woman is one time I depart from that.  It’s fun to play things that are different from you.”</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>On her wedding, which took place on a school bus: </strong>“The bus was the only place we could be completely alone.  The wedding was a secret, and we wanted to do it someplace where we could hide with our best friends.  It was all about the intimacy of the promise we were making.  When I go to weddings it’s usually all about the party and the place settings and the dress and the flower arrangements.  Our wedding wasn’t about any of that.  I mean, come on, we got engaged at Burning Man.  We were hippies.  We lived on that bus for months.”</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>On being an Italian princess through marriage:</strong> “I never call myself [a princess].  I occasionally get mail that says ‘<em>Principessa.’</em> It’s all part of being this lucky person who has been welcomed into an interesting family with a long history…How many people get to say ‘This castle has been in our family since the 1400s’?”<strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>On her parents, both of whom are journalists who travel to war-torn countries:</strong> “They still travel to some amazing places.  In fact, my mom’s getting ready to go to Yemen for <em>60 Minutes. </em>It’s actually kind of adorable; they try to pretend my job is more interesting than theirs.  We’ll have conversations and they’ll act as though fighting fake aliens in a movie is more exciting than my mom going to Yemen.”</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>On changing her last name from Cockburn to Wilde when she was a teenager:</strong> “I always thought having a pen name was so romantic.  I honestly didn’t foresee that people would look at it as a sexy name, like ‘She’s <em>wiiiild!</em>’  Anytime a story is written about me, the title is usually some pun on my last name – ‘Born to Be Wilde’ or ‘Take a Walk on the Wilde Side.’  (<em>laughs)</em> I don’t mind it; it’s just not something I ever considered when I picked the name.”</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>On whether or not blondes have more fun:</strong> “No, that’s bullsh*t.  It’s not true at all.  But I have to give credit to blondes.  Having been raised by one and being one, it’s great to surprise people when they have low expectations.  Often stupid people expect nothing from a blonde, and then the blonde can shock them by being Hillary Clinton.  I’m pretty sure she has fun.  I mean, she gets to travel everywhere, eat amazing food in all these different countries – you know she’s having a great time.  And she probably enjoys being underestimated just so she can blow people away.”</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>On winning a pancake-eating contest in Australia by eating 33 pancakes:</strong> “I entered the contest only because they said a woman could never win, and that’s a surefire way to get me to do something.  I’ve always had a huge appetite and don’t get full easily, so I guess I was meant to be a competitive eater, the way some people are born to be long-distance runners.  But I’d never do it again.”</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>On her dream car: </strong>“I think I own it – a 1958 Chevy Biscayne.  It’s cool because I grew up wanting the 1954 Bel Air, but that car is almost too perfect.  There’s something about the Biscayne that’s a little funkier…The great thing about driving one of these cars is that it makes other drivers happy.  People smile at you and let you cut in.  It’s as if they’re grateful you’re still driving it.  But the cars are not exactly discreet.  My life has changed so that I try to blend in more…Now the last thing I want to do is drive down the street and call attention to myself.  That’s what driving my Biscayne does.”</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="KonaBody"><p>Wow.  Talk about a bad first day on the job.  Last night on the season premiere of Saturday Night Live, new cast member Jenny Slate dropped the f-bomb during a skit where she was playing a biker chick.  </p>
<p>&#8220;You know what? You freakin&#8217; just threw an ashtray full of butts at my head,&#8221; said Slate.  Totally acceptable live-TV statement.  Then she crossed the line.  &#8220;You know what? You stood up for yourself, and I f&#8212;&#8211; love you for that.&#8221;</p>
<p>Slate immediately realized her mistake, bulging her eyes and puffing out her cheeks.  Fellow cast member Kristen Wiig, however, didn&#8217;t miss a beat.  </p>
<p>&#8220;You&#8217;re in my heart, babe,&#8221; said Wiig.  &#8220;You&#8217;re in my heart.&#8221;</p>
<p>Watch the video below.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Six things you can do that don't involve pigskin]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="KonaBody"><p>Forget Football.</p>
<p>Okay, it&#8217;s Sunday, and you feel like the only person in Boston who isn&#8217;t glued to the TV watching the Patriots game. So not true! It might seem like Tom Brady casts a spell that brings the whole city to a halt, but there are a million other things to do instead this Sunday. With everything from street fairs to poetry readings, here are a few ideas to get you started.</p>
<p><strong>Matinee Madness</strong></p>
<p>If you really want to escape, head to the movie theater to find an alternate reality where <a href="/tag/megan-fox">Megan Fox</a> is possessed by a demon and <a href="/matt-damon">Matt Damon</a> is fat. Jennifer&#8217;s Body, a quirky horror flick from <a href="/tag/diablo-cody">Diablo Cody</a>, the writer of Juno, opens this weekend. It stars Megan Fox as a bloodthirsty cheerleader who starts killing off her male classmates. Another new flick worth seeing is The Informant, which stars Matt Damon as a bumbling exec who starts spying on his company for the FBI.</p>
<p><a href="http://blastmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/allstonvillagedesign2008copy.jpg" rel="lightbox[26651]" title="allstonvillagedesign2008copy"><img src="http://blastmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/allstonvillagedesign2008copy-277x300.jpg" alt="allstonvillagedesign2008copy" title="allstonvillagedesign2008copy" width="277" height="300" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-26654" /></a><strong>Hit the Streets</strong></p>
<p>To load up on live music and lots of your favorite street food, head over to the <a href="http://allstonvillagefair.com">Allston Village Street Fair</a>. From noon to 6 p.m., Harvard Avenue from Brighton Avenue to Cambridge Street will be jam-packed with art exhibits, food vendors and street performers. There will also be three stages of live entertainment featuring local bands like Bird Mancini and Three Day Threshold, as well as Irish step dancing and a troupe of belly dancers.</p>
<p><strong>Be A-maize-d</strong></p>
<p>Get in touch with your inner child and take advantage of the great fall weather by exploring one of the area&#8217;s corn mazes. For under $10 per person, you can put your sense of direction to the test and see if you can find your way out of an elaborate maze built right into a cornfield. North of the city, try <a href="http://marninifarm.com">Marini Farm</a> in Ipswich. South of the city, <a href="http://sauchuckfarm.net">Sauchuk Farm</a> in Plympton has a maze dedicated to 100th anniversary of the Lincoln cent &#8212; from above, it looks like a penny!</p>
<p><strong>Culture on the Cheap</strong></p>
<p>It&#8217;s time to channel your artistic side because Sunday is the perfect day to visit the Museum of Fine Art. From 10 a.m. to 4:45 p.m., admission to the museum is totally free. So for less than you spend on your morning coffee, you can enjoy exhibits such as Vida y Drama: Modern Mexican Prints and Seeing Songs, a collection of works inspired by music. ReadBoston will also be there holding a book drive, so you can top it all off by doing a good dead and bringing a children&#8217;s book to donate.</p>
<p><strong>Poetry in Motion</strong></p>
<p>For something more unusual, stop by the Forsyth Chapel in Forest Hills Cemetery at 2 pm for a reading by <a href="http://carpenterpoets.org">The Carpenter Poets</a> of Jamaica Plain. The group of local craftsman discovered a shared love of poetry more than a decade ago and have been meeting for poetry readings ever since. For $5, you can join them to hear their latest works and enjoy the architectural beauty of the 19th century chapel.</p>
<p><strong>Retail Therapy</strong></p>
<p>If shopping is more your type of sport than football, you should check out the <a href="http://southendopenmarket.com">Sowa Open Market</a>. Located at 540 Harrison Ave. and open from 10 am to 5 pm this weekend, the market features 120 different vendors. Browsing through the booths, you can find everything from handmade pottery, one-of-a-kind jewelry and the latest creations from local indie fashion designers to fresh flowers, tasty baked goods and produce from area farmers. With free admission and free parking, too, you can&#8217;t lose.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[The mania can't be contained]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="KonaBody"><p>&#8220;<a href="/tag/new-moon">New Moon</a>,&#8221; the sequel to the teenage <a href="/tag/vampire">vampire</a> love drama that&#8217;s swept the world with its undying popularity, is selling more tickets on Fandango than any other movie, including all of the currently released films.</p>
<p>In a recent study, Fandango found that &#8220;New Moon,&#8221; which doesn&#8217;t open until November 20, accounted for 37 percent of its recent ticket sales, beating out &#8220;Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs,&#8221; which had 36 percent and &#8220;<a href="/tag/the-informant">The Informant!</a>,&#8221; which only had 9 percent. &#8220;<a href="/tag/jennifers-body">Jennifer&#8217;s Body</a>,&#8221; raked in 4 percent of sales.</p>
<p>Speaking of &#8220;Jennifer&#8217;s Body,&#8221; Fandango polled users, asking &#8220;Which role would you most like to see Megan Fox play?&#8221; Thirty-two percent of responders said they want to see the sexy star play Wonder Woman, while 30 percent said Catwoman. But what&#8217;s most astonishing is that 13 percent answered &#8220;Bella in &#8216;Breaking Dawn.&#8217;&#8221; Thirteen percent of polled moviegoers want to see <a href="/tag/kristen-stewart">Kristen Stewart</a> get the boot.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Feminine revenge, but not quite feminist ]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="KonaBody"><div id="factbox">3 out of 4 stars</div>
<p>Back in 2007, sci-fi master <a href="/tag/joss-whedon">Joss Whedon</a> wrote a scathing indictment of &#8220;torture porn&#8221; film-making, notably the film &#8220;Captivity.&#8221; Whedon said the genre, made mainstream by the work of Eli Roth and others, is simply an excuse to vent violent rage at women, to punish the female form for &#8230; whatever it&#8217;s guilty of. It&#8217;s a rage that&#8217;s been brewing since Janet Leigh jumped into that fateful shower in 1960, and it&#8217;s only grown more vengeful and exploitative since. </p>
<p>Ladies and gentlemen, I give you &#8220;<a href="/tag/jennifers-body">Jennifer&#8217;s Body</a>&#8220; <a href="/tag/diablo-cody">Diablo Cody</a>&#8216;s campy, hilarious and incredibly flawed feminist response.  </p>
<div id="downbox" style="font-size:x-small;"><strong>Directed by: </strong>Karyn Kusama<br />
<strong>Written by:</strong> Diablo Cody<br />
<strong>Starring: </strong>Megan Fox, Amanda Seyfried, Johnny Simmons<br />
<strong>Rated:</strong> R<br />
<strong>Runtime:</strong> 102 minutes</div>
<p>At first glance, this would be the perfect transgressive film: Jennifer (<a href="/tag/megan-fox">Megan Fox</a>) is a mega-hottie who uses men as sexual play things and (after nearly being killed in a very funny satanic ritual) uses them as tasty snacks. She&#8217;s found out by her sweet, nerdy childhood friend with the horrible name of Needy (the wonderful Amanda Seyfried), who tries to stop the carnage.  </p>
<p>I like Megan Fox probably more than I should. She may come off as dumb as a box of rocks in interviews, but her acting always seems to have a glimmer of wry self-awareness woven into her brainless hot girl act. In this, Fox&#8217;s glazed, plastic look perfectly demonstrates Jennifer&#8217;s mindless hunger. It&#8217;s just far too apt to be an accident. In one moment, she also scared the crap out of me when she appears in Needy&#8217;s kitchen covered in blood and grins at her horrifically. It&#8217;s without a doubt the most terrifying moment in the film.  </p>
<p>&#8220;Juno&#8221; scribe Diablo Cody wrote the film, and just like &#8220;Juno&#8221; it&#8217;s chockablock with quirky little tidbits that vary from hysterically funny to just annoying. Among other things, J.K. Simmons makes an appearance as a teacher with a hook for a hand and a Canadian accent. In anyone else&#8217;s hands it would be irritating, but Simmons has the keen power to make anything funny. On the other hand, if I ever hear the phrase &#8220;freak-tarded&#8221; or hear men referred to as &#8220;salty morsels&#8221; again, I will be forced to hit Cody with a copy of the Oxford English Dictionary.  </p>
<p>Let us take a moment now and reflect on the much-talked-of make-out session between Fox and Seyfried. The scene is pretty sexy. It&#8217;s also exploitative (and not in the good way), occurs in a vacuum, and then lays there in the middle of the film, begging for meaning when there&#8217;s none to be had.  </p>
<p>Then again, I&#8217;m not a straight teenage boy, so what do I know?  </p>
<p>Possibly one of the most interesting things about this film is its total focus on the female characters. There&#8217;s a lack of any real male input, right down to the fact that neither Needy nor Jennifer appear to have fathers. In a film industry where 28 percent of speaking roles go to women, that&#8217;s no small thing. But for all the bloody prom dresses and man-evisceration, I hesitate to truly call this a feminist film, or even a really transgressive one. First of all, none of Jennifer&#8217;s victims are bad guys &#8212; in fact all of them seem to be sweet, good-hearted boys, the kind you could bring home to mom. It robs us of the sweet satisfaction of watching girl-power in action. What kind of fun is it watching Jennifer kill nice guys? By contrast, Quentin Tarantino, in the vastly underrated &#8220;Death Proof&#8221; vindicated females by letting us watch stuntwoman Zoe Bell kick the shit out of bad boy Kurt Russell. &#8220;Carrie&#8221; let us watch the soft, nerdy girl electrocute her male and female high school aggressors.  </p>
<p>And, in the end, Jennifer&#8217;s violent sexual dominion is her own undoing. In the end she&#8217;s punished for her sins, just like in every other male-centric horror film ever created.  </p>
<p>To its credit, however, the end of the film partially rescues what I think Cody is trying to say. Out of the climactic bloodbath, Needy rises as our real heroine. She&#8217;s not a sexual succubus, but neither is she a weak virginal sacrifice. And by the time the credits roll, the real villain has been vanquished and we learn that chick with the stupid name can kick some serious ass.   </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="KonaBody"><p>Maybe it&#8217;s just me, but every time Megan Fox opens her mouth, she becomes even cooler.</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve had to say to Brian, &#8216;You have to go and stop talking to me, because I&#8217;m going to kill you. I&#8217;m going to stab you with something. Please leave,&#8221; she told Rolling Stone.‚  I&#8217;d never own a gun for that reason. I wouldn&#8217;t shoot to kill. But I would shoot him in the leg, for sure.&#8221;</p>
<p>Need I say more?</p>
<p>Well, she did. In fact, she got quite personal. When Rolling Stone asked if she ever cut herself, Fox replied, &#8220;Yeah, but I don&#8217;t want to elaborate. I would never call myself a cutter. Girls go through different phases when they&#8217;re growing up, when they&#8217;re miserable, and do different things, whether it&#8217;s an eating disorder or they dabble in cutting.&#8221;</p>
<p>She also admitted to some serious insecurities, saying, &#8220;I&#8217;m really insecure about everything. I never think I&#8217;m worthy of anything. &#8230; I have a sick feeling of being mocked all the time. I have a lot of self-loathing.&#8221;</p>
<p>She did hold back on discussing whether or not she&#8217;d ever had an eating disorder though. Her reasoning? She doesn&#8217;t want to be a role model.</p>
<p>You can read the full story (filled with more delisciously blunt quotes) and oggle her cover shot in the latest issue of Rolling Stone magazine, or on <a href="http://www.rollingstone.com/rockdaily/index.php/2009/09/16/megan-fox-americas-sexiest-bad-girl-new-cover-of-rolling-stone/" target="_blank">rollingstone.com</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="KonaBody"><p>If I were Daniel Craig, I&#8217;d be pretty bummed right now. According to the <a href="http://www.nydailynews.com/gossip/2009/07/23/2009-07-23_megan_fox_says_no_thanks_to_role_in_upcoming_007_movie_bond_23.html">New York Daily News</a>, Megan Fox turned down an offer to be the next Bond girl.</p>
<p>Apparently, the 23-year-old actress is trying to break out of the eye-candy role she fell into in the &#8220;Transformers&#8221; movies. Surprisingly, she&#8217;s not the first stunner to turn down a Bond girl offer. &#8220;Slumdog Millionaire&#8221; beauty Frieda Pinto also rejected the role in the next Bond flick, and before Eva Green was chosen for &#8220;Casino Royale,&#8221; Sienna Miller, Angelina Jolie, Charlize Theron and Rachel McAdams all said no.</p>
<p>While it&#8217;s an admirable move toward a real career, I think I speak for men and women alike when I say, Megan, we beg you to reconsider.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="KonaBody"><p>These are the movies Blast is excited about seeing in the month of October:</p>
<p><strong>Rachel Getting Married</strong></p>
<p><iframe title="YouTube video player" class="youtube-player" type="text/html" width="425" height="344" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/tbv_DB-6TXk" frameborder="0" allowFullScreen="true"> </iframe></p>
<p>Who: Anne Hathaway, Rosemarie DeWitt, Bill Irwin, Tunde Adebimpe, Debra Winger</p>
<p>What: Kym (Hathaway) returns home for her sister&#8217;s wedding and bring back years of family tension and personal problems with her. What should have been a happy weekend is sent towards disaster once Kym gets into the mix.</p>
<p>When: October 3</p>
<p>Why: Hathaway&#8217;s performance (a complete 180 from her typical girlish comedic fare) has been being talked about for an Oscar nod since talk first surfaced of her role.</p>
<p><strong>How to Lose Friends &amp; Alienate People</strong></p>
<p><iframe title="YouTube video player" class="youtube-player" type="text/html" width="425" height="344" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/-cjWGPg8YjA" frameborder="0" allowFullScreen="true"> </iframe></p>
<p>Who: Simon Pegg, Kirsten Dunst, Jeff Bridges, Danny Huston, Gillian Anderson, Megan Fox</p>
<p>What: Based on the novel based on the true story, the film follows the story of Sidney Young (Pegg) who is hired by a big time New York magazine. Young enters high society and makes a complete fool of himself, catches the attention of Sharp editor Clayton Harding (Bridges) and lands himself a job. Instead of schmoozing with everyone like he is told, Young makes a fool of himself and sets himself on the fast track to destruction.</p>
<p>When: October 3</p>
<p>Why: Pegg has a great sense of humor when it comes to making comedies. Also, the book, which is written by the real Sidney Young, is supposed to be hysterically funny. It&#8217;s been too long since our last great satire.</p>
<p><strong>Nick and Norah&#8217;s Infinite Playlist</strong></p>
<p><iframe title="YouTube video player" class="youtube-player" type="text/html" width="425" height="344" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/4-btDYY-uLeY" frameborder="0" allowFullScreen="true"> </iframe></p>
<p>Who: Michael Cera, Kat Dennings, Alexis Dziena, Ari Graynor, Aaron Yoo, Jay Baruchel</p>
<p>What: Nick (Cera) is a musician in a Queercore band struggling to get over his ex. Norah (Dennings) is trying to keep an eye on her drunk best friend. They meet up, make out, and then end up going on the wildest search of their life to try to find their mutually favorite band.</p>
<p>When: October 3</p>
<p>Why: We&#8217;ve already seen the movie, and it&#8217;s really cute. Not the greatest thing ever, but Michael Cera deserves your $10 for his performance.</p>
<p><strong>Body of Lies</strong></p>
<p><iframe title="YouTube video player" class="youtube-player" type="text/html" width="425" height="344" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/sUkk9MsWrFA" frameborder="0" allowFullScreen="true"> </iframe></p>
<p>Who: Leonardo DiCaprio, Russell Crowe</p>
<p>What: Based on the novel of the same name, the film is about CIA operative Roger Ferris (DiCaprio) who uncovers a lead on a terrorist leader suspected to be working out of Jordan, and has to enlist the help of CIA veteran Ed Hoffman (Crowe) and the head of Jordanian intelligence. Ferris has to figure out whether these men are truly his allies, or whether he has put his operation and safety on the line.</p>
<p>When: October 10</p>
<p>Why: It looks a bit over-the-top, but DiCaprio is having a serious comeback, and his chemistry with Crowe looks phenomenal. Also, Ridley Scott (who is directing) always brings the best out of Crowe.</p>
<p><strong>Max Payne</strong></p>
<p><iframe title="YouTube video player" class="youtube-player" type="text/html" width="425" height="344" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Q2jAEoBz6RY" frameborder="0" allowFullScreen="true"> </iframe></p>
<p>Who: Mark Wahlberg, Mila Kunis, Chris O&#8217;Donnell, Beau Bridges, Ludacris</p>
<p>What: After Max Payne (Wahlberg) finds his family killed and he himself is left for dead, he comes back to take his vengeance on those who have sought to destroy him: both natural and supernatural.</p>
<p>When: October 17</p>
<p>Why: We saw the presentation on it at Comic-con and, trust me, it looks AWESOME.</p>
<p><strong>W.</strong></p>
<p><iframe title="YouTube video player" class="youtube-player" type="text/html" width="425" height="344" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/sg7vwicPx98" frameborder="0" allowFullScreen="true"> </iframe></p>
<p>Who: Josh Brolin, Elizabeth Banks, James Cromwell, Ellen Burstyn, Thandie Newton, Richard Dreyfuss</p>
<p>What: Oliver Stone directs an autobiographical film chronicling the life of President George W. Bush from his college days until his presidency.</p>
<p>When: October 17</p>
<p>Why: A seemingly-critical autobiographical flick about the life of George W. Bush directed by Oliver Stone starring Josh Brolin? Oh, I am so there.</p>
<p><strong>Pride and Glory</strong></p>
<p><iframe title="YouTube video player" class="youtube-player" type="text/html" width="425" height="344" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/A2Qu80hRoh4" frameborder="0" allowFullScreen="true"> </iframe></p>
<p>Who: Edward Norton, Colin Farrell, Jon Voight, Noah Emmerich, Jennifer Ehle</p>
<p>What: Norton and Farrell are brothers in a multi-generational New York City police family, where one finds the other embroiled in a case that causes them to choose between their loyalties to each other and their loyalties to the department.</p>
<p>When: October 24</p>
<p>Why: This will be one of those underrated-but-awesome Colin Farrell flicks (&#8220;In Bruges&#8221;), accentuated by the fact that it co-stars Ed Norton.</p>
<p><strong>Changeling</strong></p>
<p><iframe title="YouTube video player" class="youtube-player" type="text/html" width="425" height="344" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/_sxikEYkOmo" frameborder="0" allowFullScreen="true"> </iframe></p>
<p>Who: Angelina Jolie, John Malkovich, Jeffrey Donovan, Michael Kelly, Colm Feore</p>
<p>What: Christine Collins (Jolie) comes home one day in 1928 Los Angeles to find her son, Walter, gone. Five months later, Walter is found and returned to her by the LAPD. However, the boy who is returned to her is not her son. Thus ensues a battle between her and the police department, who try to convince her that the boy is in fact her son.</p>
<p>When: ‚ October 24</p>
<p>Why: This newest Eastwood film stirred up a lot of interest at Sundance this year, and the trailer looks eerie. This looks to be one of Jolie&#8217;s best performances yet.</p>
<p><strong>Zack and Miri Make a Porno</strong></p>
<p><iframe title="YouTube video player" class="youtube-player" type="text/html" width="425" height="344" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/tPBoPOwB2fQ" frameborder="0" allowFullScreen="true"> </iframe></p>
<p>Who: Seth Rogen, Elizabeth Banks, Craig Robinson, Jason Mewes, Jeff Anderson</p>
<p>What: Lifelong platonic friends, Zack (Rogen) and Miri (Banks), decide to direct and star in their own homemade porno to solve their financial woes.</p>
<p>When: ‚ October 31</p>
<p>Why: 1. Kevin Smith creation. 2. Seth Rogen starring. 3. Elizabeth Banks, who two weeks previous stars as Laura Bush in &#8220;W.&#8221; Talk about diversity. 5. Star Wars spoof porno.</p>
