We're not sure if it's the best movie of the year, but it's certainly the weirdest.
Well, the domestic trailer for Holy Motors has arrived online, and we're not sure what we've seen exactly. Part musical, part drama, part comedy, and entirely unique, when Holy Motors debuted at the Cannes Film Festival director Leos Carax (Pola X) would only reveal to the Village Voice that the movie is "about a man and the experience of being alive." Ooookay.
What Holy Motors is about defies a typical plot summary. We can tell you that Eva Mendes plays a model in the movie, and Kylie Minogue sings in it, and French actor Denis Lavant plays a variety of strange characters, seemingly on purpose, in what critics from all over the world are calling "the best movie of the year."

Seems Ryan Gosling can't go anywhere without causing a commotion. Earlier this week Gosling and Eva Mendes attended Gosling's mother's college graduation ceremony. The couple tried to stay under the radar, sitting near the back of the auditorium, but their cover was blown when people starting tweeting that the couple was in attendance and starting snapping photos of the two and posting them online. When Gosling's mom's name was called, the actor stood up and cheered. By the time Gosling and Mendes went to leave the ceremony, fans had formed a line outside. When approached by a reporter, Gosling declined the interview, saying, "This is my mom's day." Is it us or is this guy too perfect?

Apparently, babies are out. After paying $850,000 for exclusive photos of Jessica Simpson's baby, Maxwell Drew, People actually saw sales drop. The issue sold just 950,000 copies, less than the magazine's average of 1.3M copies. $850,000 is a lot of money for a few photographs but it's nothing compared to the coin that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie got for shots of their babies. The couple made upwards of $11M for photos of their children (which they reportedly turned around and gave to charity).

In the upcoming Girl in Progress, Eva Mendes takes on an unfamiliar role: single mother. Immature and emotionally stunted, Mendes' character struggles with being a good mother and raising her teenage daughter. While not a lot of plot details have been revealed, it's clear from this first trailer that humor and heartache land this movie in the "dramedy" category.
Matthew Modine, Patricia Arquette, Cierra Ramirez, and Eugenio Derbez also star in Girl in Progress, which is set to hit theaters April 27, 2012.

For a while it looked like Nicolas Cage might be replaced in the upcoming sequel to 2007's Ghost Rider due to a looming November production deadline that could have sent the rights to the character back to Marvel Studios and its parent company, Disney. Cage dispelled those rumors when he confirmed he would appear in the sequel, tentatively called Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, and that he was "excited" to work with Crank directors Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor on the project. As for whether Cage's co-star, Eva Mendes, will return for the sequel, it seems unlikely.

Whew. After reading IronMan 2 critic reviews about this time last week, we were concerned it might be as lousy as Spider-Man 3. Then we saw it and it was pretty cool. But it got us thinking: What if Scarlett Johansson, Gwyneth Paltrow, Leslie Bibb, and the rest of the Iron Man 2 hotties weren't in the movie? What if it was 2 hours of iron suits, bad guys, and exposition? Bo-ring.
So with that profound thought we present the rest of the hotties we're looking forward to in Summer 2010.

Ghost Rider 2 has been in development for months now, moving forward with a nine-year-old script David Goyer is currently rewriting, but further details have been scarce until now.
Producer Michael De Luca told Collider that the sequel, tentatively titled Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, will be like "pushing the reset button" and that Goyer's script is still being tweaked to include an idea from its star Nicolas Cage, who has said that he wants Ghost Rider 2 to be a more "international" story.
Yeah, the idea was because Ghost Rider is a unique blend of theology and action and the character deals with the kind of battle of good vs. evil in a theological sense, that [setting the sequel in] Europe you could avail yourself of a lot of religious sites and kind ancient religious site and a history of theology as a setting that isn't available in the U.S. We wanted to kind of signal that we're as different from the first movie just because we want to be fresh and new as you can get in terms of getting away from southwestern kind of pseudo-western thing.
De Luca confirmed Goyer's assertion that the movie will be a "hard PG-13" that will not include either Eva Mendes' character Roxanne or the participation of Ghost Rider director Mark Steven Johnson. De Luca admitted he'd be "excited" to have Goyer direct the sequel, though that would "depend on his schedule." Goyer certainly would be the person with the most familiarity with the script, which De Luca described as a story of redemption.
That 2001 script has been on the Internet, but if you ever get a chance to look at it, it's a really intimate kind of redemption story and it's very brutal and it moves like a freight train in that spirit, you know, with the Ghost Rider doing, I think, things that are very also kind of like jaw dropping, commercial set pieces and whatnot. They're all there but it's a very intimate storyline that lets you have some character development.
While Ghost Rider : Spirit of Veneance has no release date, De Luca admitted that the sequel could begin filming in 2010.
