Sure, the very idea of monsters invading the planet is a scary notion. And the monsters themselves? A terrifying sort, equipped with behemoth claws, razor-sharp fangs, and toxic waste running through their veins. So, as this is the fate that befalls the human race in Pacific Rim, we're going to need something equally chilling to fight back: massive killer robots, of course!
But will that do the trick? Powerful though they may be, are the cyborg weapons truly inspiring of the right degree of fearful tremors? Perhaps not, but that doesn't mean humanity is at a loss. For we have one thing at our disposal that no otherworldly creature can combat in intimidation: Idris Elba. Whether you know him as Stringer Bell, as Luther, or as that jackass interim manager on that middle season of The Office, Idris Elba musters up quite a quaver in the below TV spot for Pacific Rim.

As far as we're concerned, Amy Poehler is the only performer who can effectively don the garb of one Hillary Clinton. But somehow, the Saturday Night Live vet has not made the short list of actresses in consideration to play the former Secretary of State in a developing biopic Rodham... a project that earned attention not long ago when details from its absolutely bonkers script hit the Internet. As The Independent lists the potential Hillarys as Scarlett Johansson, Amanda Seyfried, Reese Witherspoon, and Jessica Chastain, we're wondering which of the lot would be the best pick for the 26-year-old politician...
SCARLETT JOHANSSONPROS: She has a history of fighting tyranny (a la The Avengers).CONS: All those Woody Allen movies can't bode well for swaying the moderates.
REESE WITHERSPOONPROS: She can handle the drawl needed to attract the Southern vote.CONS: Well, the recent escalation of her criminal activity isn't exactly the stuff presidential campaigns wish for...
AMANDA SEYFRIEDPROS: She's actually right around 26, the age at which the biopic pinpoints Hillary.CONS: Call us crazy, but we think it'll be hard to accept the Secretary of State as the same lass who belted in Mamma Mia!
JESSICA CHASTAINPROS: Wanna be president? It probably helps to have taken down the most wanted terrorist in the world.CONS: The hair, I guess (we'll be honest, she's our frontrunner).

In the formidable years leading up to college, we are tutored in the ways of dorm life by films like Animal House, Van Wilder, Old school... in short, we get a pretty unrealistic vantage point of what higher learning (oh, there's another one!) actually is. But that's because lounging around common rooms and cramming for finals doesn't make for very entertaining cinema. As such, Monsters University is keeping in step with its collegiate predecessors, thrusting Pixar's beloved Mike Wazowski (voiced by Billy Crystal) and James "Sulley" Sullivan (John Goodman) into raucous parties, roommate squabbles, and life-or-death situations of the most extreme caliber.
Check out these two new clips from Monsters University and catch the film in theaters on June 21.

This weekend marked America's third turn with Bradley Cooper, Zach Galifianakis, and Ed Helms in The Hangover Part III — a return to the Las Vegas strip for one more set of sorted debaucheries. Nevada's city of sin has proven an agile locale for films throughout the ages. But unlike The Hangover, not all of these Vegas flicks have earned the sequels they so truly deserve.
So, we're righting this wrong! We've taken five of our favorite Vegas-set pictures and given them posters for the follow-up features we wish we could have seen. What could have happened to Ace in a second Casino, or Nicolas Cage in a Leaving Las Vegas sequel? Check out our gallery of what might have been and find out!

A prominent presence in Hollywood for four decades and counting, Tim Curry might be most recognizable to you as the duplicitous butler from Clue, the voice of the maniacal smog in Fern Gully, or (most likely) the larger-than-life antihero Frank-N-Furter at the head of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. DailyMail reports that the 67-year-old character actor suffered a stroke on Thursday night at his home in the Los Angeles area.
However, Curry's reps assure DailyMail that the show business mainstay is "doing great" in his recuperation, adding that he "is recovering at this time and in great humor." Reps continued to denounce any reports that Curry might be suffering from speech debilitation following the episode.

If Amanda Bynes is, in fact, just one big piece of performance art, then she's extremely devoted to the craft: the All That star turned social media vigilante has been reportedly arrested for an episode that involved marijuana use and, in a turn of events more uniquely Bynesian, the throwing of a bong out of her 36th story window in Midtown Manhattan.
NBC News reports that a doorman caught Bynes smoking pot in the lobby of her apartment building on Thursday night and proceeded to call the police — enforcements arrived to find Bynes in her apartment upstairs, noting the distinct odor of marijuana and catching her in the act of attempting to obscure evidence by throwing a bong out of her window. As a result, Bynes was apprehended and charged with criminal possession of marijuana, tampering with evidence, and reckless endangerment.
Officers brought Bynes to Roosevelt Hospital for psychiatric evaluation, and then to a New York police station for processing. Bynes is believed to have spent the night in Manhattan central booking and is expected to appear in court on Friday.

You wouldn't exactly call the Fast & Furious movies headscratchers. You've got fast cars, attractive people, high-stakes danger, exciting fun. But when you really think about it, there's a good deal more to the franchise than that, especially in terms of the crafting of these speedy, sleek films. We got a chance to chat with director Justin Lin and his Fast & Furious 6 star Luke Evans, posing a couple of the questions we've been wondering about in regards to the latest addition to the series.
How do you make the dialogue as exciting as the action sequences? What genres influenced the development of the movie? From where is a Fast 6 villain born? All these questions and more were answered in the below Google Hangout session with Lin and Evans — check out the video and catch the film in theaters on Friday.

Marilyn Manson shaved a portion of Avril Lavigne's head last year (12) after she begged the rocker for a little image makeover help. The Sk8er Boi hitmaker, who recently recorded a track with Manson for her upcoming album, Bad Girl, shocked fans last June (12) when she stepped out with an edgy shaved hairdo, complemented by magenta and green highlights.
And Lavigne reveals the hairstyle, which has since been copied by the likes of Rihanna and Miley Cyrus, was designed by the 44 year old while they were hanging out backstage at one of his concerts.
She tells MTV.com, "I had wanted to shave the side of my head for quite some time, and I used to put it in a braid there (side of her head) and so it was kind of like shaving it. And then one night... we were hanging out backstage and we were with his band having a few drinks and I was like, 'Let's shave my head. I'm ready; let's do this!'
"He's like that, though. He has fun. He wears his makeup; his wardrobe is very visual. I like his style."

We keep getting older, but Richard Linklater's plans for a Dazed and Confused sequel stay the same age: prenatal. For a few years now, Austin's favorite son has been flirting with the idea of a spiritual follow-up to what might very well be the greatest high school movie ever made. And Linklater's vision for the new film, which he announced on Reddit and hopes to begin shooting in the fall, is what might be the greatest college movie ever made.
We're jumping the gun with that superlative, knowing only that Linklater hopes to make "a college comedy," and that he "feel[s] like mixing it up with a big ensemble," but this is the man behind Slacker, SubUrbia, Waking Life, and the Before Sunrise series. Benefits of the doubt are well deserved.
However, any canonical connection to Dazed is yet unspecified — the branding of the project as a "spiritual sequel" and the two decades that have passed since the first film suggest that we won't be seeing the same characters come into play for Linklater's next. But if the project aims to capture the magic, the sorrow, the wonder of the college years, then it'll likely earn right to the kinship of the 1993 gem.

Granted, it is a red band video, but the amount of time in the new We're the Millers trailer devoted to depicting Jennifer Aniston stripping is pretty egregious. It isn't enough that the video kicks off with the actress flailing about atop a sleazy dope dealer Jason Sudeikis — the story has the pair pretending to be husband and wife in order to make a drug run across the border, wrangling two teens (Sudeikis' earnest goody two shoes neighbor and a rebellious runaway) to pose as their children. But when the so-called Millers are faced with the perils of gun toting crime lords late in the trailer, it is Aniston's provocative show that saves the lot of them. We have to imagine a number of writers' room scenarios along the lines of: "Can we work in a reason for her to strip here? ... No? Well, we'll figure out a way."
But hey, at least they're equal opportunity exploiters: aforesaid earnest kid shows his own junk after being the victim of a tarantula attack. So, enjoy that?
