New Year's Eve and Valentine's Day are the Hallmark of Hollywood productions—rom coms centered around holidays in which ensemble casts play out their microscopic plotlines which somehow generate lots and lots of manufactured feelings. They're totally manipulative! And lucrative. And now they've got some competition from the folks at 30 Rock, where on the show Jenna Maroney is starring in Martin Luther King Day. Check out the trailer, where you'll also spot: Nick Cannon, Emma Stone, Andy Samberg, Liam Neeson, Kristen Bell, R2D2, John Krasinski, Hugh Grant, and so many more. What, no Ashton Kutcher? more ›

We're all super-stoked about the summer 2012 blockbuster, The Dark Knight Rises—from what we can tell, based on all the filming around NYC this fall, it must be a documentary focusing on the dark underbelly of street closings. This week, everyone's been talking about the six-minute prologue, focusing on new villain Bane, which has been attached certain IMAX screenings—some have said it "will have your jaw drop," while others have complained about Bane's voice. Now, it's been revealed that a new trailer for the film will accompany Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol, opening on Friday. But thanks to the internet, you can watch a leaked version of the trailer below! more ›

One-part Borat, one-part Saddam Hussein romance novel, and one-part incredibly fake beard, the first trailer for the highly anticipated new Sacha Baron Cohen movie, The Dictator, was released today. It's loosely based on Zabibah And The King, the romance novel allegedly written by former Iraqi dictator Hussein. The movie, which prominently takes place in NYC, concerns the exploits of the titular character, "who risked his life to ensure that democracy would never come to the country he so lovingly oppressed." Watch the trailer below. more ›

HBO's next foray into the "ladies in New York City" genre comes from Judd Apatow and Lena Dunham, the mumblecore queen who will star in the show Girls, which focuses on the twenty-something set in the big city. Alex Blagg gave some hopeful commentary this morning, saying, "Girls might have a reverse-Sex & the City effect on NYC, where everyone who moves there acts cool and funny and real." more ›

In September we saw the first glimpse of Jonathan Safran Foer's 2005 novel Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close in its big screen adaptation look, with a trailer very light on 9/11 imagery. Now, about three weeks before it hits theaters, the trailer editors have delivered a more heart-wrenching version, with 100% less feel-good U2 songs, and more shots of the Twin Towers after the planes hit. The movie comes to theaters on Christmas Day, should you be looking to weep on the holiday: more ›

Just last month The Avengers was filming some final shots around New York, and now Joss Whedon & Co. have released the first trailer for the movie (due out, in 3-D, in 2012). And surprise: it's full of NYC destructo-porn! If you've ever wanted to see yellow cabs, NYPD cruisers, or buildings engulfed in fireballs dangerously close to Scarlett Johansson, this is for you. And not all of this was filmed in Manhattan—in August the production took over East 9th Street in Cleveland, Ohio, which doubled as our very own 42nd Street. more ›

So far the upcoming superhero flicks are putting out some disappointing trailers. Earlier this week we saw the first teaser for Dark Knight Rises, and now The Amazing Spider-Man (both movies aren't due out until next summer).

The third and final installment in Christopher Nolan's trilogy isn't due out until next year (and they only just started filming recently), but they've already stitched together an early teasers.

We've been treated to some teaser trailers, but now The Muppets have finally delivered some full-length action. The Jason Segel-scripted film isn't due out until Thanksgiving, but the marketing machine is in full force, and as TotalFilm.com notes, you will be "swept up by a wave of nostalgia" upon clicking play. (Not that anyone thought Segel would ruin the franchise, did you see his Muppet-esque rock opera in Forgetting Sarah Marshall? Genius.) And for those wondering, this trailer does show Muppet feet. more ›

Do you want to hear James Franco declare with a modicum of concern: "He doesn't spend any time with other chimps"? Yeah you do. Check out the latest trailer for Rise of the Planet of the Apes, in which Franco plays a scientist who gives a miracle drug, called the Cure, to a chimp named Ceasar—and what could possibly go wrong with that! Certainly a super-intelligent "infection" spreading amongst every last living primate will only result in something innocent, like a human-ape chess tournament, right? Or not: more ›

Last year, following his departure from NBC (for TBS), Conan O'Brien took his downtime to travel the country with a live stage show. This tour was documented, and now you can check out all the behind-the-scenes antics, and breakdowns, when it's released on June 24th. The trailer is below, though in our opinion it needs a lot more Reggie Watts (who opened on the tour). As for O'Brien, he'll be back on stage in New York later this year. more ›

Tea partying libertarians unite! Ayn Rand's Objectivist tome has made it to the big screen, at long last, and as a trilogy. In 1991 the Library of Congress and the Book of the Month Club ranked the 1957 bestselling novel as the 2nd most influential book ever, the Bible came in 1st place. So how will the movie live up to the printed word? It's not lookin' so good. Part One is in theaters today (tax day!), and the reviews are out; here are some gems: more ›
