"You sure you can trust this guy?"
Comic books have become an increasingly popular resource for movies and TV these days, even the ones that lack superhumans dressed in tights. Such is the case for Universal's adaptation of 2 Guns, which is based on the Boom! Studios graphic novel by writer Steven Grant and artist Mat Santolouco. 2 Guns stars Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg as two undercover agents from competing bureaus working to bring down a drug cartel. The only problem is, neither agent knows the other is undercover. In the movie's first trailer, once the two agents discover the others' identity, the pair's real problems begin.

Director Michael Bay has wanted to make the upcoming body-building comedy Pain & Gain since 2009, when he said he wanted to make a "small movie" in between shooting Transformers" Revenge of the Fallen and what would become Transformers: Dark of the Moon. Clearly, Paramount was able to convince Bay to stick with the Autobots for a bit longer than he initially planned, but, with the arrival of Pain & Gain's first trailer, it looks like Bay is on track to finally deliver his passion project next year, right before Bay starts shooting, you guessed it, Transformers 4.

If someone were to only see a poster or two and some of the TV spots for this year's surprise hit comedy Ted, they might think it was a cute, family-friendly movie. With the movie centered around a cuddly, giant teddy bear, it's only a little surprising that reports have popped up that parents have taken their kids to the movie, and not notice the R-rating on the flick. The creator, stars, and fans of the movie all assure us that this one isn't for the elementary school set.
Though director and creator Seth MacFarlane claims it's more of a "soft-R" comedy as opposed to a "hard-R," he does not even try to contend that the raunchy flick doesn't deserve the rating. The movie is certainly "not for the young." Mark Wahlberg, who stars in the movie, says that he had to explain to his kids that even though this was a flick about him and a teddy bear, it was yet another movie of his that they couldn't see because "the teddy bear has a potty mouth."

Seth MacFarlane has frequently lampooned the state of Massachusetts and its denizens on his two-time Emmy-winning animated series Family Guy, but rarely as mercilessly as in the latest preview clip from his feature-length directorial debut, Ted. The movie centers around John (Mark Wahlberg), a man desperately trying to grow up and cut the cord from his childhood friend, a crass partier named Ted (voiced by MacFarlane), who just so happens to be a living teddy bear. The latest preview clip perfectly demonstrates how Ted can be a fun guy teddy to be around, as long as you're not a Boston girl or someone who dates one.

Like many children with active imaginations, young John Bennett (Bretton Manley) wished that his childhood toy, a teddy bear named Ted, would come to life. However, unlike the vast majority of children's wishes that go unanswered, John's wish actually came true and Ted became a walking, talking teddy bear and life-long friend.
If you think it sounds awesome, wait until you see the new preview clips from Ted, the feature-length directorial debut for Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane, who also voices Ted. Rude, foul-mouthed, and with an appetite for alcohol and prostitutes, Ted has become a destructive influence on adult John (Mark Wahlberg), who needs to cut the cord if he is going to mature and pursue a meaningful relationship with his girlfriend, Lori (Mila Kunis).

It's the song that launched numerous viral videos and was number one in Canada and the UK months ago, but it took a little while for Jepsen to overthrow Gotye on the US charts.

The passing of television legend Dick Clark caused an outpouring of emotions among celebrities.

Last week, Mel Gibson and screenwriter Joe Eszterhas were involved in a public feud, with Eszterhas saying that Gibson was a scary, angry, Beatle-hating anti-semite, and Gibson claiming that the screenwriter was a liar. Eszterhas has raised the ante by releasing an audio recording of a screaming and ranting Gibson to The Wrap. While it doesn't contain any anti-Semitic language, the recording is decidedly loud, scary, and expletive-filled, suggesting that Eszterhas's side of the story was not simply "utter fabrications" as Gibson had claimed.

As R-rated comedies become more prevalent, so too does the red band trailer, often released first so audiences know why the movie was rated R in the first place. Such is the case with Ted, Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane's directorial debut, which recently received a red band trailer. In Ted's case, the red band trailer highlighted the foul-mouthed nature of the title character, a walking, talking teddy bear (voiced by MacFarlane) that is the life-long best friend of Mark Wahlberg. Naturally, a more work-appropriate, green band trailer has followed.
Ironically, it's the green band trailer that's the funnier of the two, perhaps because it does a better job of introducing the character of Ted and his history and isn't solely focused on proving how hilarious it is when a teddy bear curses, smokes pot or acts inappropriately. The latest trailer shows all that too but gives more context of the relationship between Ted and his human companion John (Wahlberg). The one problem with Ted's green band trailer is that it may show a little too much of where the movie is going, though, when it comes to Hollywood, there's usually only one way a story about "a guy who never grew up" will resolve itself.
