This Friday a new teen comedy hits theaters, this time starring Hayden Panettiere and Paul Rust. In I Love You, Beth Cooper, Rust plays Denis, a dorky high school senior who confesses during his graduation speech that he loves his popular classmate, Beth Cooper (Panettiere). Surprisingly, Beth responds by deciding to "show Denis the best night of his life."

If you've been harboring a crush on someone (or any secret thoughts or feelings), Hayden Panettiere wants you to know that the promotion for her upcoming high school romp I Love You, Beth Cooper is exactly the way to reveal it. In the movie, the class valedictorian declares during his graduation speech that he's in love with — yup, you guessed it — Beth Cooper (played by Panettiere). As a promotional tactic, Twentieth Century Fox is "inviting people to upload their confessional videos to ILoveYouBethCooper.com for a special event entitled 'Beth Cooper Moments of Truth'" in which "participants will tape a special message they've always wanted to express — to a friend, parent, love interest .

This movie's premise, based on a book by Larry Doyle, makes me laugh and cringe at the same time. On the one hand, there's a nerdy guy who builds up the nerve to declare his love for a super hot cheerleader while giving his valedictorian speech at high school graduation. On the other hand, there's the cheerleader (of course played by Hayden Panettiere who is totally not typecast at all) who, instead of being alarmed by the young man's public declaration, appears at his doorstep to show him the night of his life.

Here we are, Heroes watchers, the second to last episode before the finale of this volume, "Villains." This week, Hiro and Claire have traveled 16 years back in time, and they interact with their parents and their past selves. Meanwhile, the cruel side of Sylar is back in full force, and Nathan sees firsthand what is being planned for the future at Pinehearst.

Ah, what the eclipse tooketh away, the return to normal sunlight has giveth (giveneth?) back. The heroes (and villains, I guess) regain their powers after a harrowing eclipse, and everyone has learned a little something about him or herself. I really liked that spooky gray-light that the eclipse cast on everything.

This week's episode of Heroes has so many daddy issues you'd think it's Lost. We've got the Petrelli family head honcho, Arthur, along with a sad story about Matt Parkman's dad Maury. Mohinder tries to avenge his father's death and Claire and Nathan are reunited (though as Claire points out, dads aren't always as they seem).

This week's Heroes starts with Mohinder going on about how "in every journey, the traveler must ask, 'what's the right path taken?'" We get more of the same ol' themes of heroes vs. villains, choosing good over evil, etc. etc.

They love to keep it all in the family on Heroes these days, and this week's episode is no exception. This week we got some daddy-daughter issues, a little mother-son drama, and the appearance of yet another member of the Petrelli family (and a powerful one, at that). It's all about the fam, and in each family, there are "angels and monsters."

"What kind of person are we? Does the hero, or the villain inside us, win the day?"
Ah, yes.

I feel compelled to give a warning before showing this trailer: Proceed only if you're feeling emotionally strong. Fireflies in the Garden boasts an impressive cast (Julia Roberts, Willem Dafoe, Emily Watson, Ryan Reynolds, Hayden Panettiere) and it looks to be well-made — though I'm not sure I saw it very clearly through my tears. This film looks gut-wrenching.
