In this explosive feature-length animation crafted from several episodes of the hit series WOLVERINE AND THE X-MEN, a year has passed since the unfortunate attack on Professor Charles Xavier's Institute for Gifted Youngsters that left an entire academy of young mutants without home or guidance. Ever the loner, Wolverine has since wandered the earth as one. But when the mutant community is plagued with a horrible vision of future of complete chaos, it's up to the clawed one to rejoin the fray and lead his broken brothers and sisters in an all-out battle against ultimate corruption. THE WIRE's Idris Elba stars in this thriller as a man who seems to have a perfect life. He is married to Sharon (Beyoncé Knowles), and he has just earned a promotion at work. But destruction looms when a pretty temp (HEROES' Ali Larter) grows a little too fond of him. Eric Bana#39;s directorial debut quot;Love the Beast,quot; documenting a quarter-century love affair with his 1974 Ford Falcon coupe, could easily be dismissed as a vanity project. Except that the immensely likable Australian actor seems incapable of conceit. The Golden Globes will air live across the United States for the first time next year, meaning viewers on the west coast won#39;t have to wait three hours to see what Hollywood stars wore to the annual awards bash. Trailer for More Than a Game In such works as "Less Than Zero" and "American Psycho" Bret Easton Ellis dissects contemporary American society, a culture in which too much is never enough. Now, adapting his own novel for the screen, he returns to the Los Angeles of the early 1980's with a multi-strand narrative that balances a vast array of characters who represent both the top of the heap (a Hollywood dream merchant, a dissolute rock star, an aging newscaster) and the bottom (a voyeuristic doorman, an amoral ex-con). Connecting all his intertwining strands are the quintessential Ellis protagonists -- a group of beautiful, blonde young men and women who sleep all day and party all night, doing drugs -- and one another -- with abandon, never realizing that they are dancing on the edge of a volcano.
