This week was a good time to be a Maggie in Hollywood.

Hawaiian actress Maggie Q, who's best known for her work in Hong Kong action films, has been tapped to play the lead in the CW's upcoming Nikita remake.

Love may be a battlefield for Milla Jovovich but she’s not letting it make her cynical.

After two failed marriages, one extremely short one to her Dazed and Confused co-star Shawn Andrews when she was 16 which her mother had annulled two months later, and a second to her Fifth Element director Luc Besson (who is a big, gross, fat, sweaty Frenchman), Jovovich is preparing to walk down the aisle for the third time with her baby daddy, filmmaker Paul W.S. Anderson (not to be confused with crazy ass P.T. Anderson).

Frank Martin lives by four simple rules:

1. Never change the deal
2. No names
3. Never open the package
4. Never make a promise you can’t keep

In Transporter 3, the deal is the same: highly-skilled courier Martin, played by brooding beefcake Jason Statham, must deliver the precious cargo of an underworld denizen or reap the consequences, a job compromised by emotional complications.

If Jason Bourne and Mario Andretti had a love child, it would be Frank Martin in Luc Besson’s Transporter series.

After two thrilling, action-packed installments, Jason Statham returns to the franchise that made him a star as Martin, a driver notorious throughout the underworld for making sure precious cargo arrives. But the third time around, he does the unthinkable; he doesn’t deliver and neither does the film.

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!
