A happy 36th birthday is in order for lovely actress Jennifer Garner.
The beautiful wife of Ben Affleck has enjoyed a solid, versatile career. She made a name for herself as the best-looking spy in television history on Alias, and has followed up that TV stint with a number of film roles. They've ranged from romantic comedies to comic book adaptations.
A quick look at Garner's movie resume:
Most of the story lines of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull are still secret - but Harrison Ford recently told USA Today the movie will try to give new perspectives on his globe-trotting, fist-fighting archaeologist.
"He's a guy who is pretty clear from the beginning," Ford said. "He has not changed so much between films. But we've learned more about him, through various plot devices, such as the introduction of his father. And we'll learn something more about him in this film. I think it's required. If you're going to bring back a character, you'll have to supply the audience with something more and different. "
Ford added that "the adventure is very, very important. But it's interesting to discover a facet of the character that perhaps you hadn't explored before."
Such as his age. Yes, even Indiana Jones must grow old, as the character's development in life will reflect that of the man portraying him in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.
"I think it's an interesting element to take advantage of," Ford said. "Clearly, it's another challenge that he faces."
Somehow, we think he'll overcome it.

Where in the world is Osama Bin Laden?
So asks Spurlock's new documentary, which opens tomorrow. As outlined in The Los Angeles Times, Spurlock traveled to Pakistan, Afghanistan and several other nations of the Muslim world in order to answer this pressing inquiry.
Since the making of his previous hit, Super Size Me, Spurlock has married Alex, his vegan girlfriend in that film; the couple has a 16-month-old son, Laken, which the director says helped propel Where in the World Is Osama Bin Laden?. He asked himself, "what kind of world am I bringing a kid into?"
"I knew where we would start, but I didn't know where we'd end," Spurlock said. "What we knew was that I'd come home and hopefully everything would be fine. And we'd have a baby."

Meanwhile, here are a series of photos of, yes, Zombie Strippers:
Yes Man, starring Jim Carrey, comes out on December 17. It centers around Carl Allen, a man who signs up for a self-help program based on one simple principle: say yes to everything for one year. Think of it like Liar Liar, just with affirmations instead of honesty.
At first, unleashing the power of "yes" transforms Carl's life in unexpected ways, but he soon discovers that opening up his life to endless possibilities can have its drawbacks. It's a lesson for all.

Movie goers will recognize Shaun Toub from roles in films such as Bad Boys, Crash and, most recently, The Kite Runner.
In May Toub's face will become even more well-known when he graces the big screen as the character of Yin-Sen in the long-awaited Iron Man. Movie Web recently talked with the actor about the project:
When you signed on for this role, how familiar were you with the comics and what kind of research did you do?
Shaun Toub: Well, beforehand, I didn't know much about it, but when I was offered the role, I tried to dig up as much as possible. I remember something from my childhood in Iron Man comic books. I tried to dig up as much as possible, not that there's a lot out there, but I was able to get something. It's interesting that the information on the web was so different than what I thought my character might be like.
I didn't want to do too much research because I didn't want it to influence me so much. I knew this was something that I had to create, because there wasn't much on paper and we were running against the clock, so I was trying to let my mind be free. It's just the way I work. It's hard to come up with characters, but it happens sometimes. It's interesting.
What can you tell us about your character Yin-Sen, and how it might differ from the comic book?
Shaun Toub: Yin-Sen is a very important character for Iron Man. He's basically responsible for saving his life and also sent him on his journey. He's a very pivotal character to the Iron Man story. He helps actually create, he has a hand in the creation of Iron Man. I don't want to give away too much, obviously.

When it comes to The X-Files s movie title, the truth is finally out there. Or here, we guess. You get the point.
The big-screen sequel of the paranormal TV show will be called The X-Files: I Want to Believe, Chris Carter, the series' creator and the movie's director and co-writer, has confirmed to The Associated Press.
This title is a familiar phrase for fans of the series.
"I Want to Believe" was the slogan on a poster Duchovny's UFO-obsessed agent Fox Mulder had hanging in the cluttered basement office where he and Anderson's Dana Scully worked.
"It's a natural title," Carter said. "It's a story that involves the difficulties in mediating faith and science. `I Want to Believe.' It really does suggest Mulder's struggle with his faith."
What do you think of this title? We aren't fans of the use of the first person in it.
