Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian

It’s what every child dreams of: night falls, the lights are out and suddenly the inanimate objects that innocuously surround us during the day come to life. In the sequel to the its mightily successful, if faultily executed, 2006 predecessor, a film which raked in $250 million, Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian maintains all the franchise’s previous conceits but ratchets up the creativity and execution level.

Amy Adams went for pure Hollywood glam as she arrived at the world premiere of Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian, held at the Smithsonian’s Air and Space Museum in Washington DC on Thursday.

Rita Hayworth is smiling down on Amy right now and giving her golf claps.

All hail the new reigning redhead of Hollywood. (Sorry, Isla Fisher.)

Where’s Le Tigre and Ferrari?

Ben Stiller attended the world premiere of Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian in London last night and was all about his Blue Steel.

He was also all about business in the front and party in the back.

What’s up with the Michael Bay hair?
