Ghosts of Girlfriends Past: Formulaic and Forgettable
Ghosts of Girlfriends Past might as well be titled Wedding Planner's Failure to Lose a Guy in Fools Gold of Girlfriends Past, because it's nothing we haven't seen before from Matthew McConaughey.
The actor is a global star with actual talent and loads of charm (he's fun in Dazed and Confused and dreamily charismatic in A Time to Kill). Yet, for some reason, he has spent the past decade or so skating by in major-studio films that all pretty much resemble each other.
Do You Like Matthew McConaughey Better in Dramas or Comedies?
Matthew McConaughey has just signed on to play a criminal defense attorney in an upcoming legal thriller, and all I can picture is McConaughey's lawyer role in another legal thriller, A Time to Kill. And just like A Time to Kill, this movie, The Lincoln Lawyer, is also based on a bestselling novel.
We haven't seen McConaughey in a dramatic film in a little while — the 2006 football movie We Are Marshall was the last drama he did.
Movie Preview: McConaughey, Garner in Ghosts of Girlfriends Past
I wonder how many times we'll have to see a womanizing d-bag figure out what love is really about before the whole storyline is retired. In Ghosts of Girlfriends Past, obviously a spoof (or something) on A Christmas Carol, Matthew McConaughey plays a seemingly heinous human being who has been with what appears to be a thousand women. A ghost played by Emma Stone talks to him about his past girlfriends and, along with two other ghosts, ultimately points him in the direction of the one he let get away (or, more accurately, the one he could not run away from quickly enough), played by Jennifer Garner.
Movie Preview: Matthew McConaughey's Surfer Dude
"I'm not some ass clown in a green room. I'm a surfer, dude." Hmm.

Could You See Matthew McConaughey as Magnum?
According to EW, Matthew McConaughey has been offered the role of Thomas Magnum in a film version of the 1980s hit show. He's reportedly reading the script now and will make a decision soon.
Made iconic by the mustached Tom Selleck, Magnum is many things: a ladies' man, a former US Navy Seal who served during the Vietnam War, a best friend, a thorn in Higgins' side.
Steve Martin and Diane Keaton May Reunite for Comedy
There are some cinematic couplings that are so full of cuteness that I get giddy at the thought of them reuniting. Steve Martin and Diane Keaton are one such couple, having totally endeared themselves to me in Father of the Bride (I just pretend that little sequel doesn't exist).
Now, these two may couple up again for One Big Happy, a comedy by Party of Five creators Chris Keyser and Amy Lippman.
