Daniel Radcliffe has a message for Harry Potter fans:

He and his castmates aren't in this for the money.

"I hope everyone gets that we're all taking it seriously, that we're not just dossing. We're not making these films becase we have to, but because we want to make something great," the young actor recently said. "We're not going to put most of our year into doing something if we don't think it's going to be very good!"

In Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, which opens on July 17, Voldemort is tightening his grip on both the Muggles and Wizards. Hogwarts is no longer the safe haven it once was. Cue suspenseful music!

On January 16, bad guys will meet a new enemy in Paul Blart: Mall Cop.

Kevin James stars in this comedy, which humorously bills itself as Die Hard in a mall. Check out the movie's trailer below:

Ready for another serving of American Pie?

Universal Studios will abandon its recent string of direct-to-video spin-off films and release a third sequel to the original comedy in theaters,  one that MovieHole speculate might pick up on the lives of now-married Jim and Michelle (Jason Biggs and Alyson Hannigan).

The franchise saw success with three direct-to-video sequels, American Pie : Band Camp, American Pie : Naked Mile and American Pie : Beta House, all of which featured Eugene Levy.

We wish the movie of Defiance was as inspiring as the true-life tale it's based on.

Unfortunately, the film comes across more as a history lesson than as a suspenseful drama.

Read more about it now with our complete Defiance review.

In The Unborn, a woman must fight off the spirit that is slowly taking control of her body. Don't you hate it when that happens?

Teresa Palmer, who currently stars opposite Adam Sandler in Bedtime Stories, is still dreaming of another movie role.

In an interview with Australia's The Herald-Sun, the actress says she hopes the superhero film "comes off."

Palmer also confirmed her rumored casting of villainous Talia Al Ghul.

''I was going to be playing a villain, which would be so exciting and totally different from anything I've done before. And with George Miller, an Aussie icon," Palmer said. "Plus, I'm good friends with Megan [Gale], it would be so brilliant for her to be cast as Wonder Woman. Fingers crossed it will happen.""
