The biographical documentary about our favorite vampire, Edward Cullen, aka Robert Pattinson, will hit stores next month.

Yes, a biography after only 23 years. (But 23 years of hotness! ... Well, maybe 10 years of cuteness and 13 years of hotness.)

The U.K. distributor, Revolver, says Robsessed “follows his path from a young schoolboy, to his early modeling and acting jobs, all the way through to landing his dazzling role in the Twilight saga.”

What greater social equality can you imagine than the power to text message a vote for your favorite singer? In Afghanistan, a trivial right Americans take entirely for granted, becomes the basis of their new world order and a wealth of opportunity. Journalist and filmmaker Havana Marking’s new documentary Afghan Star, named after the monumentally popular American Idol-esque show the film delves into, is a shocking and moving piece about the tested limits of democracy, newfound freedom, nationalism and the tipping point of egalitarianism.

Almost 9 million people watched Farrah's Story, the documentary about actress Farrah Fawcett's life and struggle with cancer, on NBC this past Friday night.

“We haven’t stopped filming, and we’re going to make a second installment on her life,” Farrah's longtime companion, Ryan O'Neal, told Meredith Vieira on the Today show this morning.

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!
