Barbie just celebrated her 50th birthday, but who says she's over the hill?

For the first time ever, Mattel has greenlit a live-action movie about everyone's favorite doll.

"Barbie may be the most popular girl in the world, and has always been a wonderfully aspirational figure, so we must do her proud," producer Laurence Mark said.

Two American legends, Elvis and Barbie, have joined forces to create these dolls of the King and wife Priscilla Presley on their wedding day.

The dolls, which have already sold out online, were created by Mattel for Elvis Week 2008, an annual weeklong fan pilgrimage to Graceland to mark the anniversary of Elvis’ death (August 16th, 1977). They recreate the couple’s famous marriage ceremony on May 1st, 1967, at the Aladdin Hotel in Las Vegas. Priscilla herself oversaw all the dolls to insure they accurately captured all the details.

Law Abiding Citizen See It or Skip It

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!

The Boys Are Back See It or Skip 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.

Jennifer's Body See it or Skip it

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.

See It or Skip It: World's Greatest Dad

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!
