Smart People opens this week. The romantic comedy stars Thomas Hayden Church, Dennis Quaid and Sarah Jessica Parker.
All three stars sat down with ComingSoon.net last week to discuss the movie. Here are highlights from the interview:
CS: Can you talk about the other physical aspects from the beard to the walk, it seems like a lot is going on even before you speak? Can you talk about building the character physically?
Quaid: Yeah, I wanted him to have a look to him, very sedentary, someone who is sort of like a sleepwalker or somebody who is emotionally dead in a way and had been for quite some time. Unkempt. I didn't have time to gain the weight so I just put on a fat suit every day, and actually, putting it on is like having the weight on.
It's hard on your back and it changes the way you walk, and the beard is really kind of a protective defense with him in a sense, to hide from the world, or to appear to be very smart.
CS: Sarah, what's the difference between working on a small independent film like this over a major production like the Sex and the City movie where you're not only acting but producing as well?
Parker: Well, sometimes the difference is what might seem like a disadvantage actually. I personally like we had a less than luxurious schedule on this movie. I think they said it was 29 days, and I actually do like that kind of speed.
Big movies tend to have very generous schedules and generous budgets, and you end up doing things over three and four days that you know can be done in an afternoon or a day and a half, and you just think of all the money flying out the window and all the energy that dissipates over the day while you wait and then just producing responsibilities, 'cause both these gentleman know them well, they just change your responsibilities.
National CineMedia has released its latest in-theater FirstLook presentation. This one focuses on Universal Pictures and Marvel Studios' The Incredible Hulk, opening in theaters on June 13.
We weren't shocked to hear about X Files 2, or even the possibility of a fourth Jason Bourne movie.
But a sequel to the 1986 comedy, Short Circuit? Can't say we saw that one coming.
The original focused on Number 5, a robot built by the military to be a highly sophisticated weapon. It developed a conscience and a personality after being hit by lightning, and then needed the help of humans after it was targeted for destruction by its makers.
According to Variety, S.S. Wilson and Brent Maddock have been hired to write the remake.
There's no word yet on whether any of the original film's cast - Steve Guttenberg, Ally Sheedy or Fisher Stevenson - will return for the follow-up.
On June 20, movie goers will have a chance to Get Smart.
In the meantime, they can get themselves familiar with this Steve Carell and Anne Hathaway movie by checking out the following pair of pictures:
In case the title Zombie Strippers somehow was not enough to lure you in to the comedic horror, starring porn queen Jenna Jameson, here's a look at the movie's trailer:

The Ruins was a best-selling book by author Scott Smith. The same man has now written the screen play for the horror movie, in theaters now.
Does the film live up to the novel? We asked that question to a handful of critics. Here are their answers...
- At once silly, gross and boring...aims to be something more than a generic vacationing-twentysomethings-in-peril movie, [but] its pretensions make it even more ludicrous. -- One Guy's Opinion
- The Ruins is one of the creepiest, most disturbing tales to hit theaters in months. If there is a film that is guaranteed to make your skin crawl, this one is it. -- Film School Rejects
- The shift from averting your eyes from the gore to rolling your eyes at the stupid dialogue is enough to give you a headache. -- Salt Lake Tribune
- ...like "Touristas" with a better cast, higher production values and a supernatural edge...hits all the novel's outer horror touch points, but director Carter Smith doesn't let them build so much as check them off a list that he's rushing through. -- Reeling Reviews
Here are a couple of pictures of Bond (James Bond) from the next installment of this beloved franchise, Quantum of Solace.
What should you go see this weekend? Which new movie will be a hit? Which ones will bomb worse than a film about the Iraq war?
Here's a look at the four main movies opening today...
Leatherheads
Stars: George Clooney, John Krasinski, Renee Zellweger
Quick synopsis: Two football players from the 1920s vie for the affection of the same woman.
Prediction: The number-one movie in the land. Football+ Clooney = Ch-ching!
Nim's Island
Stars: Jodie Foster, Gerard Butler, Abigail Bresline
Quick synopsis: An agorophobic author must travel to a fantasy island and help her biggest fan.
Prediction: Number-two at the box office. Innocent fare for kids and adults.
The Ruins
Stars: Jena Malone, Jonathan Tucker
Quick synopsis: A group of American tourists encounter some evil, dangerous ruins.
Prediction: Will likely do well. But lack of star power will affect box office tally.
My Blueberry Nights
Stars: Jude Law, Natalie Portman, Norah Jones
Quick synopsis: A young woman takes a soul-searching journey across America.
Prediction: In limited release. A solid showing will enhance chances to earn a lot down the line.
A comedic adventure starring Jodie Foster? Yes, that sums up Nim's Island.
Should you go see this departure for Foster? It also stars Gerard Butler ad Abigail Breslin. Here's how a few movie critics have graded the film...
- The worst movie of Jodie Foster's adult career, Nim's Island is as big a mess as you might expect from a movie with four credited writers (which means there were probably more) and two directors, all at apparent cross-purposes. -- Jam! Movies
- Nim's Island is a pleasant-enough jaunt for a family outing, but it never fully arrives at that 'perfect, secret world.' -- Houston Chronicle
- Its characters, especially the youngest one, are engaging, and few adults are immune to childhood fantasies about secluded tropical isles. -- The Hollywood Reporter
- Audiences may find early scenes of father-daughter family life more engaging than the adventures that ensue, but this is a fairly successful attempt at a preteen-friendly entertainment. -- Christian Science Monitor
