Jesse Eisenberg

Columbia Pictures and director David Fincher have picked their cast for The Social Network, the drama about the formation of Facebook.

Jesse Eisenberg will play Facebook founder, Mark Zuckerbeg and Justin Timberlake will star as Sean Parker, the Napster co-founder who became F-book’s president. Andrew Garfield will play Eduardo Saverin, the Facebook co-founder who dissed Zuckerberg as the social network became a phenomenon.

Adventureland, which we saw at Sundance back in January, arrives in theaters today.

Is it a day at the amusement park or a trip on The Zipper after one too many corndogs?

Travel back in time to find out.

Your first clue that The Education of Charlie Banks is entirely skipable is the fact that it was directed by Limp Bizkit front man Fred Durst.

Your second clue is that Durst cast sitcom star Jason Ritter as the biggest bad ass in the East Village.

Say what?

Long known as Limp Bizkit’s Woodstock-riot starting, smack-talking, Britney Spears-loving front man, Fred Durst’s presence in the film industry is growing with the release of his directorial debut, The Education of Charlie Banks, which follows Charlie Banks (Jesse Eisenberg) from childhood to college where his pristine Ivy League existence is shattered by the arrival of Mick Leary (Jason Ritter), the neighborhood thug he’s lived his life in both fear and awe of.

Dakota Fanning isn't the only young actress in Hollywood getting new gigs.

While the rest of America struggles to find or keep one job, Little Miss Sunshine star Abigail Breslin, 12, just got three new ones.

We know that movies about losing “it” will never go out of style, but we also doubt they’ll ever reach the nadir (or quality) they hit in the 80s.

Adventureland has many trappings integral to the genre; drugs, summer boredom, excessive drinking, hormonal youth thrust together in close proximity. But it can’t touch the quality of Say Anything/Superbad/Almost Famous no matter how much writer-director Greg Mottola wants it to.
