The top movie talk on the web this week.


1 Vicky Cristina Barcelona
Good Bi In Woody Allen's latest trailer, Scarlett Johansson travels to Spain to make out with Javier Bardem and Penelope Cruz. Nothing "lost in translation" for her in this film!
1 Grand Theft Auto
Game On Uwe Boll has thrown his hat in the ring to direct the film version, promising that he'll make it extremely violent. You know, like having a bunch of moviegoers brutally attacking a CGI version of Boll outside the Liberty City Cineplex.
1 The Informant
A Fuzzy Development Matt Damon sports a bushy mustache in these set photos. They can't fool me. With that crazy facial hair, I just know this is actually going to be that long-rumored Magnum, P.I. movie.
1 Thor
Giver of Life In bizarre superhero casting, it's rumored that Brad Pitt is the top choice to star as the Norse god of thunder. Although with how quickly he keeps putting babies in Angelina, he'd be more suited to play the god Prometheus.
1 The Spirit
Apropos Outfit A comic-book magazine sports a picture of Samuel L. Jackson as supervillain the Octopus on its latest cover. In it, he's seen wielding a gun and sporting a thick fur coat. Maybe it's just me, but I was expecting him to be wearing a rubber suit and covered in suction cups.
1 Jennifer's Body
A Prickly Situation In these revealing set photos, a practically naked Megan Fox emerges from a lake and strides across a wooden pier. Man, I hope she got hazard pay for having to deal with splinters.
1 The X-Files: I Want to Believe
Cold Hearted Killer The first spooky trailer has Mulder and Scully investigating a young girl found frozen to death under an ice-covered lake. Although we don't get to see any aliens or monsters who may have killed the victim, I have my suspicions it's gonna turn out to be an evil Frosty the Snowman.
1 Quantum of Solace
That Stinks A bunch of new promo photos have popped up that show Daniel Craig hanging out with babes Gemma Arterton and Olga Kurylenko, plus a shot of him dashing through an underground sewer. That's where he has to escape to once he figures out he's made a date with both girls at the same time.
1 Max Payne
World's Grossest Snow Cone Here are a couple of set photos of Mark Wahlberg, Chris O'Donnell and a bunch of corpses lying next to a crimson-soaked snowbank. Although that's not as bad as lying next to a big mountain of yellow snow.
1 The Argentine & Guerrilla
Rebel With a lot of Hair Here are a couple of promo photos showing Benicio Del Toro as the revolutionary Che Guevara from Steven Soderbergh's two-part biopic. I'm confused. Now, in which part does he become the Wolf Man?
1 Lincoln
Surprise Ending After he directs the animated Tintin, Steven Spielberg is gonna finally make his long-in-development biopic of the 16th prez. Hmmm. How's Steve gonna put one of his dumb happy endings on this one?
1 S. Darko
A Different Reality Fox is producing a sequel to Richard Kelly's cult hit Donnie Darko, but he says he wants no part of it. I think his exact words were: "I'd sooner have an airplane crash into my bedroom."
