Even with the increased ticket prices for 3D movies, Hollywood is having an abysmal year at the box office. Perhaps it’s because so many bad movies are released. But never fear, summer’s here. And Hollywood is rolling out its usual slate of sequels, comic book films, and a few flicks based on toys. Here’s a rundown of some of big movies, including Cowboys & Aliens, Thor, Pirates of the Caribbean, and The Hangover 2.

Megan Fox may be the smokingest hottie in Tinseltown these days, but the fascination with this Rosebud Magazine cover girl goes beyond her sexy curves. It seems like the star of Transformers, Jennifer’s Body, and Hope & Faith can’t open her mouth without raising eyebrows. We’ve collected some of her best work here in both photos and quotes, a feast for your eyes and your, um, eyes.

Walton Goggins isn’t necessarily a household name, but ask the 39-year-old actor and he’ll tell you he’s got it all: an Oscar on the mantle of his new Hollywood home (for his short film “The Accountant”), starring roles in the FX hit series Justified as well as the upcoming summer thrill ride Cowboys & Aliens, and he and his fiancée, screenwriter Nadia Conners (The 11th Hour), rang in the New Year by welcoming their first child, Augustus Somerset, into the world. Cowboys & Aliens also stars Harrison Ford, Daniel Craig and Sam Rockwell, was directed by Jon Favreau and produced by a powerhouse trio of Ron Howard, Brian Grazer and Stephen Spielberg. The movie is True Grit meets Star Wars and is predicted to bring in major box office bank. Goggins, already a small screen favorite, is just happy to be in the room.

So you wanna be a porn star? More than a few of my guy friends have expressed interest in being a porn “actor” for their career. Some of my female friends have even thought about it. After all, getting paid to have sex with lots of people, being an exhibitionist, and maybe even becoming the next Ron Jeremy or Jenna Haze, Bree Olson or Gianna Michaels could be a nice career move.

The TV series Arrested Development may have made a laughingstock of ‘never-nude,’ but these 5 actresses all have ironclad no full frontal clauses in their contract . Find out who you’re never gonna see full frontal in this stunning… exposé of shy actresses.

Some who previewed the movie 'The Social Network' claimed it presented Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg as a “borderline-autistic conniver" and a "ruthless and untrustworthy sex maniac". The fast paced geek drama opened in movie theaters on October 1st, 2001, and startled naysayers by becoming not only a hit with viewers but acclaimed by critics as well.

Ever since it was first published in the 1960s, George Ivanovitch Gurdijeff's autobiographical Meetings With Remarkable Men has been required reading for spiritual seekers the world over. A decade later, a remarkable film was made based on the book, but with its own slant and storyline. I leave it up to the purists and the scholars to argue whether director Peter Brook's adaptation--who collaborated with Jeanne de Salzmann on the screenplay--does justice to its source. What I can safely say, is that the spirit of Gurdijeff permeates both of the works, and they're thus worthy of our undivided attention.

Jay Baruchel is just an ordinary “slacker” from Montreal who happens to find himself starring alongside Hollywood A-listers like Robert Downey, Jr. (Tropic Thunder), Alice Eve (She’s Out of My League), and Nicolas Cage (The Sorcerer’s Apprentice) in big budget movies. But when he’s not on set, Baruchel can be found at home playing videogames with his roommates, living out the dreams of many guys. After all, he has the fame and everything that ensures --- chicks, money, etc. -- but he also can live relatively unnoticed in Montreal and he has the free time to dedicate as he wishes. The actor talks about his first movie with Jerry Bruckheimer, which is now out on Disney Blu-ray and DVD, as well as his videogame habits in this exclusive interview.

Every once in a while a Hollywood movie manages to shine through the fog of formulas, through the mist of cinematic conventions. Such a film is Beyond Rangoon, a Columbia Pictures release of a Castle Rock production (1995), that crosses the often not so fine line between cinema as art and movies as a commercial commodity.

Mad Men's Jon Hamm stars in The Town, directed by Ben AffleckBen Affleck has had his ups and downs as an actor. After appearances in Oscar winning films like Good Will Hunting and Shakespeare in Love early in his career, Affleck starred in a series of colossal flops in the early ‘00s. Worst among them were Paycheck, Surviving Christmas, and the infamous Gigli, which co-starred Jennifer Lopez. Affleck had gone from Academy Award winner to Razzie winner in a decade.

Then something interesting happened. In 2007, Affleck took to the director’s chair to helm his first feature, Gone Baby Gone, which starred his brother, Casey Affleck. The film was a critical and commercial success, but more importantly, it made Ben Affleck relevant again.

Danish filmmaker Janus Metz’s stunning war documentary Armadillo provides insights into the nature of the war in Afghanistan and the lives of the people involved in it. The film is an aesthetic triumph, featuring both excellent cinematography by Lars Skree and powerful editing by Per Kirkegaard.

The story as a platoon of Danish soldiers a preparing to leave for a six month stint in Afghanistan. The camera follows some of the men in their homes, at their farewell party, and as they say goodbye to their families at the airport.

You may never have heard of Marion Woodman, but she’s a figure with something to say. Unfortunately, Adam Reid’s new documentary Marion Woodman: Dancing in the Flames isn’t the best vehicle to hear Woodman’s message. In fact, the Canadian film comes off as little more than idol worship, leaving viewers better off reading Woodman than watching this film.

First off, Reid seems to assume that his audience is intimate with and/or interested in his subject, and does little to entice us into Woodman’s world. Much of the film is Woodman in conversation with Andrew Harvey, who is presented as if he were a household name. He is called a mystic and seems to hold the status of guru, although his credentials are never clear. The filmmaker clearly reveres both figures and anticipates that the audience will share his enthusiasm simply because they are on the screen.

This summer, Sylvester Stallone attempts a return to glory with his latest action spectacular, The Expendables. Stallone directed and co-wrote the film, which assembles some of the biggest names in action cinema from the ‘80s and ‘90s, including Bruce Willis, Jason Statham, Jet Li, and Dolph Lundgren.

The film also features Mickey Rourke, who has recently enjoyed a return to the spotlight, as well as a couple of names notable for their work outside the movie business. NFL star Terry Crews, former UFC heavyweight champion Randy Couture, and WWE professional wrestler Stone Cold Steve Austin round out the cast.

Just a couple of years ago, Zach Galifianakis was a comedian with a growing cult and internet following, but wasn’t exactly a household name. Since his breakout role in 2009’s hit comedy, The Hangover, that has started to change. This Fall Galifianakis stars in two more big screen features – It’s Kind Of a Funny Story and Due Date with Robert Downey Jr. and Danny McBride.

Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg hope to score a hit with The Other GuysThere was a time when Will Ferrell could do no wrong. Despite the fact that he made a string of remarkably similar movies – notably Talladega Nights, Blades of Glory, and Semi-Pro - the viewing public ate them up. But with 2009’s mega-flop, Land of the Lost, it looked like Ferrell had finally jumped the shark and audiences weren’t buying his schtick anymore. All that is set to change with this summer’s action-comedy, The Other Guys, co-starring Mark Wahlberg.

The Other Guys features a star-studded cast including Ferrell and Wahlberg along with Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Samuel L. Jackson, Michael Keaton, and the smokin’ hot Eva Mendes.
