Overweight lingerie store security guard Dennis (Simon Pegg) is still desperately in love with his ex-girlfriend Libby (Thandie Newton). The only problem is that he happened to leave her - while she was pregnant, mind you - on their wedding day, leaping out the back window of the church when his nerves suddenly got the better of him. Truth is, the usually sweet and charming (if a bit lazy) man hasn't finished a darn thing in his entire life, so when he gets it into his head the only way he can win Libby back is by running a charity-driven London marathon it's not exactly surprising no one, including the woman's smarmy new American health-obsessed beau, Whit (Hank Azaria), thinks he's going to be able to make it to the finish line. But Dennis is serious, and while his initial motives aren't exactly 100-percent above-board during his training, something strange and maybe altogether wonderful,

Each and every one of the Friends lead actors failed to translate their TV stardom into big-time movie fame. Even Jennifer Aniston became better known as a tabloid item than as a performer, and the others settled into supporting work or less.

Given that fate, it makes sense that David Schwimmer apparently has decided to try his hand behind the camera. He makes his debut as a feature film director at the helm of 2008's comedy Run Fatboy Run. Commitment-phobic Dennis Doyle (Simon Pegg) leaves his pregnant fiance Libby (Thandie Newton) at the altar. Five years later, Dennis figures out that he still carries a torch for Libby. The pair maintain an amicable relationship for the benefit of their son Jake (Matthew Fenton), but Libby seems to feel no romance for her former flame.

In fact, Libby has moved on to a new boyfriend, health nut Whit (Hank Azaria). Even

James Franco will play Allen Ginsberg in Howl, a film about the obscenity trial that surrounded the release of his 1950s poem. Because if there’s one thing more exciting than half-century old litigation, there’s half-century old litigation about Poetry! I kid.  I kid because I love.  Allen Ginsberg was one of my favorite public figures - here was a guy you’d hear about in school that would still be out partying and and using foul language and acting like a rebellious teenager right up until when he dropped dead.  If you lived in New York City in the mid-90s you couldn’t go to a can opening without seeing Allen Ginsberg. James Franco is as good a choice as any to play him - although Hank Azaria got his voice down pretty well in the recent Chicago 10 documentary (as did Michael Zelniker in Naked Lunch

FilmSchoolRejects got the chance to chat with Ben Stiller about his upcoming sequel to the 2006 hit “Night at the Museum,” entitled “Night at the Museum 2: Battle of the Smithsonian.” In the new film, Stiller has assured fans that things will be bigger and better than ever. “We have a much broader palette, because it takes place at the Smithsonian, so there’s a bunch of different museums we get in and out of like the Air and Space Museum and the art galleries, we go into paintings and stuff,” said Stiller. “And then there’s just this incredible ensemble cast ... we also have new people like Christopher Guest (Ivan the Terrible), and Hank Azaria (Kah Mun Rah), Amy Adams (Amelia Earhart). So it’s really been fun because it’s a lot less lonely than the first one.” Stiller added that the new movie will make more use of
