Natalie Portman (V for Vendetta) is about to venture from acting to producing. And that's on top of her very, very full schedule. She will produce a film titled Booksmart, with this promising storyline:

Two overachieving high school seniors realize the only thing they haven't accomplished is having boyfriends, and each resolves to find one by prom.

Sounds like the girl version of Superbad. We like.

Even better, the script is written by Sarah Haskins and her friend Emily Halpern, two formerly geeky Harvard girls themselves. Sarah is the creator of a cult favorite series called Target Women on Current TV's underrated pop culture show, Infomania. Her segments focus on the manipulative ways TV commercials market things like yogurt and jewelry to women. Watch the hilarious Sarah in action below.

This sounds very promising. If we dare be so bold, it might even turn out to be the next Mean Girls. Fingers crossed.

F. Gary Gray's latest effort, Law Abiding Citizen, starring Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler, is a knockout! Exhilirating, wry and breathcatchingly paced, it's a stellar accomplishment for everyone involved. Hell yeah you should see it!

Scott Hicks, the director of Shine, and Clive Owen teamed up for this gloriously beautiful if underwhelming project. It's not that it's bad, it's just not that memorable and with such supreme talent attached, I was hoping for and expecting a lot more.

Oh, Diablo Cody, why'd you have to do it? I love you so long...and then you made this. Megan Fox does what she always does, she looks hot. At least there's that. Sophmoric, unfunny and obsessively idiosyncratic, it's a painful movie going experience.

Chocolate and peanut butter. Spaghetti and meatballs. Bobcat Goldthwait and profanity. Two great tastes that taste great together. Gone is the Bobcat of the Police Academy movies and in his stead is a fantastic writer-director who's able to orchestrate the most brilliantly, hilarious vulgarity imaginable. World's Greatest Dad is a fantastic dark comedy (very dark) that features Robin Williams' best performance since Good Will Hunting. See it!
