Let’s get right to it:

Contagion, the latest film from director Steven Soderbergh, asks this question as it follows the rapid progress of a lethal airborne virus that kills within days, leaving the medical community scrambling to somehow curtail the outbreak.
Anchored by Oscar winners Matt Damon, Kate Winslet, Gwyneth Paltrow, Marion Cotillard and Soderbergh (plus Jude Law and Laurence Fishburne), it’s equal parts ensemble film, thriller, international espionage tale and medical mystery.

If you are looking for vampires who embrace humans and even fall in love with them, Breaking Dawn opens on November 18.
But if you’re in the mood for an old fashioned tale about a blood sucker with pure disdain for our kind, purchase a ticket for Fright Night. It hits theaters tomorrow and it sets Colin Ferrell loose as Jerry (yes, Jerry), a vampire who causes nothing but problems for Anton Yelchin’s Charley Brewster.
A retelling of a classic, the movie takes full advantage of its 3D status, according to our pals at Movie Fanatic, resulting in an intense pace

It’s 4/20, baby. You know what that means, right? THG does.

Sarah Lane is at it again.
The professional dancer, who served as a body double for Natalie Portman in Black Swan and has said she was on camera for a major of dance scenes, spoke to 20/20 last night and said producers told her to remain quiet about her role.

[HMG Celebrity News] – When your plan to remake a movie has been rejected by six actors and four directors you’d usually realize it’s an awful idea. Not Ben Stiller. He wants to ruin remake the Danny Kaye classic ‘The Secret Life of Walter Mitty’ and it’s now going to happen.
