Natalie Portman (V for Vendetta) is about to venture from acting to producing. And that's on top of her very, very full schedule. She will produce a film titled Booksmart, with this promising storyline:

Two overachieving high school seniors realize the only thing they haven't accomplished is having boyfriends, and each resolves to find one by prom.

Sounds like the girl version of Superbad. We like.

Charlyne Yi stars with Superbad's Michael Cera in Paper Heart, a mocumentary/fictional love story. We reviewed the sweet film after its limited release last Friday and previewed it when it premiered at Sundance.

Where’s Christopher? Or should we say where’s Waldo?

Superbad star Christopher Mintz-Plasse arrived at the MTV Studios for an appearance on the knockoff of TRL – It’s On.

He won’t be hard to miss in his green-and-grey-striped sweater. If only it was red, he would be an exact Waldo replica.

This should have been his next role, fo' sho.

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.

When a film has a “smell my finger” joke in the first sixty second, you kind of know what you’re in for. In the case of Role Models, written by and starring Paul Rudd and directed by David Wain (Wet Hot American Summer), it’s hilarious vulgarity, unruly humor and penis jokes. That may sound easy and cheap but this isn’t American Pie 7, despite the fact it co-stars Seann William Scott who so famously played Stifler.

The ever adorable Michael Cera (Superbad, Arrested Development, Juno) and Kat Dennings (The 40-Year-Old Virgin) greet fans at Much Music in Toronto where they’re promoting their new movie Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist during the 2008 Toronto International Film Festival.

The film stars Michael and Kat as two people thrust together for one long, sleepless night of musical adventure through New York City as they hunt to find a legendary band’s secret show.

Awww, Jonah Hill wears his heart on his sleeve.

The Superbad star showed off his new tattoo while running errands in West Hollywood on Thursday. Inside the heart, it reads “Nancy Rules.”

We don’t know about Nancy ruling but we do know a rule about name tattoos: They are usually the redneck kiss of death for a relationship.

Super chubby Superbad star, Jonah Hill was spotted working out with celebrity trainer Harley Pasternak (trainer to Jessica Simpson, John Mayer, Alicia Keys, Kate Beckinsale) on Monday.

Could it be because he’s in talks to appear as Shia LaBeouf’s comic sidekick in Transformers 2, set to begin filming this summer?

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!
