Valentine's Day and New Year's Eve.  For two consecutive years, director Garry Marshall and screenwriter Katherine Fugate served up holiday-themed ensembles unreasonably packed with bankable movie stars and romantic comedy cliches.  Had New Year's Eve been a bigger hit, you can only imagine that we have spent the next several years besieged by these novelty offerings until the holidays were finally exhausted.  That could still happen, actually.  But even if it does, we'll always have MLK Day, a parody trailer for a fictitious romantic comedy that expertly eviscerates the cloying, manipulative style of those films.

Over the next few weeks, we'll treated to an onslaught of big event movies in time for Christmas, while the prestige pictures currently in limited release will expand and be joined by more.  It'll be a veritable moviegoing cornucopia, with all manner of variety to suit anyone's holiday tastes.  For now, though, the number one movie in America is New Year's Eve, a film that is basically the cinematic equivalent of KFC's Famous Bowl: a calculated yet sloppy mash of starch and heart disease.*  The mega-ensemble debuted in first place, followed by The Sitter, and, in third place, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1, which sat atop the box office heap for three consecutive weeks.

It's Friday, ladies and gentlemen, and three separate studios have unveiled three very different posters for three wildly different upcoming films.  First, Fox has provided the first teaser poster for the Farrelly Brothers' new take on The Three Stooges, featuring the silhouettes of Sean Hayes, Will Sasso, and Chris Diamantopoulos as Larry, Curly, and Moe, respectively. 

Second, FilmDistrict and GK Films have released another new poster for The Rum Diary, the Johnny Depp-starring adaptation of Hunter S. Thompson's first novel.  Like the last poster for that film, this one includes Depp and a trashed hotel room, but this time you can see his face. 

Finally, Warner Bros has unleashed the one-sheet for New Years Eve, director Garry Marshall's follow-up to Valentine's Day.  Like its predecessor, this film is being marketed on it's ridiculously huge and recognizable ensemble cast, with the titular holiday telling you everything else you need to know.

Peep 3 New Clips from Disney's 'Prom'

Wednesday, 20 April 2011 15:19

The intertwining ensemble-style romantic comedy popularized by the likes of Love Actually and Valentine's Day will skew more youthful in Disney's Prom, in which a sprawling cast of high school students (all of whom will be conspicuously acne-free) prepare for the eponymous dance. To get you in the proper Prom-spirit, Disney has released three clips from the film, introducing you to three separate storylines and three different romantic dilemmas.  Take a look.

It's that time of year, ladies and gentlemen.  Sales of fluffy teddy bears, rose bouquets, shiny jewelry, and any product shaped like a heart are at there yearly high, because Valentine's Day is this Monday.  While I'm sure you have a swooningly romantic plan in place already, I'm to urging you to include a cinematic offering on this pink-hued holiday by offering up a list of the ten most cuddlerific movies out there.  Since we here at Rogue are an inclusive bunch with diverse tastes, I thought it would be nice to try to offer a little something for everyone, from anybody who saw Valentine's Day more than once to anyone who sees the sublime romance in Die Hard (don't worry, though; neither of those films are on the list).
