The first trailer for this "high-concept comedy" hit the Internet with a thud. Sadly, The Bounty Hunter looks to be kind of mainstream fare that could have been made by either Jennifer Aniston or Gerard Butler at the beginning of their respective careers -- but now? It feels like safe and mid-range entertainment. I can understand it if Gerard Butler and his handlers are trying to find a balance between action flicks and romantic comedies, but all they really need to do is re-watch The Ugly Truth to realize the genre does not suit him. I'm surprised Butler isn't holding a gun over his anatomy in the poster. Speaking of the poster, where is Jennifer Aniston's left hip?

Writer Jeff Kinney created Wimpy as a web-comic in 2004, and the pop-culture phenomenon quickly grew into a daily online strip and, ultimately, a series of novels that rival Twilight in popularity. We'll see how it translates as the first movie in a potential franchise, though awareness of the movie is almost nil.

Though this biopic's focus is on the friendship between Joan Jett and Cherie Currie, in real life, Jett formed the band with drummer Sandy West; Currie was an eventual add-on a year or so after the group's formation. So ... this is like rock history, brought to you by Wikipedia? And who needs accuracy when you have two Twilighters canoodling in the same bed?

Leonardo DiCaprio was once set to star alongside Jude Law in this adaptation of Matchstick Men writer Eric Garcia's novel (Garcia wrote the screenplay with "House M.D." scribe Garrett Lerner). We love that Universal, who put out Cirque du Freak at the end of 2009, is taking chances with their projects, even if Repo! A Genetic Opera bombed (despite its cult status) and Repo Man's Alex Cox is having a title fight with the studio.

A huge hit in its native Sweden, Dragon Tattoo has already been optioned by Sony for a remake, with Steven Zaillian (Schindler's List) scripting and lit-minded Scott Rudin producing, and David Fincher circling the director's chair. The movie's two sequels were released within a year of the original, so it'll be interesting to see who's cast in the potential franchise. And I imagine it means a whole chunk of additional change for the estate of novelist Stieg Larsson, who passed away right before the first novel was published.

What has to be the best documentary of the year was directed by Toni Myers of Space Station 3D fame.
