A group of actors all playing themselves stuck together at a party thrown by James Franco during the end of the world sounds like a fun idea for a Saturday Night Live sketch. I’m just not so sure it can hold up for a full two-hours. However, I do have to admit that the idea of watching Emma Watson beat the shit out of Seth Rogen (who also co-wrote and co-directed the film) does have some appeal. Jonah Hill, Jay Baruchel, Danny McBride, Craig Robinson, Martin Starr, Michael Cera, Jason Segel, Paul Rudd, Mindy Kaling, David Krumholtz, and Rihanna also star. This is the End opens in theaters on June 12th.

A new full-length trailer for Iron Man 3 has arrived featuring Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) trying to protect the woman he loves (Gwyneth Paltrow) and the planet from a terrorist known as the Mandarin (Ben Kingsley). A couple of points: 1) I’m pretty mixed on the look of the Iron Patriot on screen, 2) The Mandarin without his magic rings sounds pretty unimpressive, and 3) Why does Iron Man’s armor look worse instead of better in each successive film? Who designed this look, DC’s New 52? Guy Pearce, Rebecca Hall, Don Cheadle, Jon Favreau, William Sadler, and James Badge Dale also star. Iron Man 3 opens in theaters on May 3rd.
