New York doesn't love Scarlett Johansson back.

The HoJo's debut as a director, a role which she's previously said she has more interest in than acting, was supposed to be with a short film entitled Visions, which would be part of New York, I Love You, a movie which features eleven short films about love in New York City and stars such Hollywood heavyweights as Shia LaBeouf, Natalie Portman, Hayden Christensen, Blake Lively, Orlando Bloom, Christina Ricci, Robin Wright Penn and Rachel Bilson.

Johansson's movie, however, has been cut from the final version.

While some sources claim that it was "unwatchable," the film's producer has been a bit more diplomatic, saying, "Scarlett presented me with an extremely compelling, albeit unconventional, narrative that appeared as though it would not necessarily conform to the overall approach of the entire collective."

Visions will, however, be featured on the DVD version of the film.

Don't worry, Scarlett, there will be other opportunities. And, if not, you've always got your husband's fine-ass shoulder to cry on.

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!
