What non-franchise film from 2009 do you want to have a sequel? According to a MovieTickets.com poll, 37% of moviegoes pick The Hangover.

This is a good thing, of course, since the sequel is already in the works. Director Todd Phillip jokes that he's trying to get Tiger Woods to star to help him "regain his image."

Well, that’s a new one.

Lindsay Lohan could have been in one of the summer's biggest blockbusters so far, but turned it down.

The Hangover’s director Todd Phillips wanted Lilo to play the part of stripper Jade (how appropriate), but turned she it down saying the script had “no potential.”

No sweetie, that’s your career.

The role went to Heather Graham, and the flick has made $205 million so far.

Smart move, Linds.

Duh! We saw this coming from a mile away.

The summer comedy has been the box office champ two weeks in a row, and has grossed $110.3 million.

“We were thinking of sequel ideas when we were shooting, which sounds cocky, but we were doing it more because it was just fun to talk about ideas while hanging out on the set,” director Todd Phillips explained. “Two weeks ago I was saying, ‘let’s see how it works out.’ Now that the movie has really connected, it’s something we’re doing for sure.”

The movie hasn’t even been released yet but writer/director Todd Phillips has already been hired to write a sequel to The Hangover

The movie, which opens on June 5th, stars Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms and Zach Galifianakis as best friends who head to Las Vegas for their buddy’s bachelor party, only to lose the groom-to-be (Justin Bartha) just hours before he is due to exchange vows.

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!
