The International: Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Bank?
The International, starring Clive Owen as an Interpol operative tracking the shady dealings of a large bank, has as much going for it as it does working against it. It's not a bad movie, sprinkled as it is with scenes that are visually extraordinary, not to mention insanely entertaining. But it's not a good movie either, thanks to half-baked characterization and dialogue that had my audience howling with laughter (which I'm sure was unintended).
Box Office: Jason's Back as Audiences Make Him No. 1
The economy may be on shaky ground but you wouldn't know it by looking at the box office totals from this weekend. The Friday the 13th remake actually set records and had "the best opening ever for a horror movie in grossing an estimated $42.2 million from 3,105 theaters through Sunday." Meanwhile He's Just Not That Into You exceeded expectations by snagging the No.
Separated at Birth: Clive Owen Intrigue Movies
This weekend the Clive Owen movie The International will debut in theaters. Aside from some key differences, this movie looks a bit like another Clive Owen movie that will be out in March titled Duplicity. Both appear to deal with large international corporations and potentially involve espionage.
Movie Preview: The International
In the trailer for Clive Owen's new movie The International, there's lots of heart-pounding music and stressed out characters, and yet I failed to feel the excitement while viewing it. There's a lot going on and everyone's saying cryptic things about a bank, and I'm just not totally intrigued.
On the other hand: Yay, Clive Owen!
Clive Owen: International Man of Handsomeness
Clive Owen will put his dashing good looks to further use in his first star turn in an action-thriller, The International. According to Variety, the story revolves around an "Interpol agent who investigates corruption at powerful banking institutions."
Rounding out the film's team is director Tom Tykwer (pronounced "Tick-ver"), who is responsible for Perfume, as well as the frenetic flick Run Lola Run.

Buzz-Worthy Video: Parks and Recreation's Ode to Intern April
I've attributed a lot of Parks and Recreation's success to its awesome side characters, who are each hilarious in their own unique way. Tom Haverford is a failed smooth operator, Ron Swanson a crusty badass, and Andy is a sweet doofus. April Ludgate is the aloof slacker intern, played to droll perfection by Aubrey Plaza.

Clive Owen to Help Provide Protection
Clive Owen has signed on for the upcoming action thriller Protection. The film centers around an ex-soldier (Owen) hired by a judge to infiltrate Mexico's gang scene in order to save his daughter. Owen is replacing Paul Walker who was originally attached to the project — that's quite a casting 180, don't you think?
Movie Preview: Julianne Moore and Amanda Seyfried in Chloe
Warning: NSFW. I repeat, NSFW. The international trailer for the upcoming thriller Chloe is making the rounds, and it is scan-da-lous (what else do you expect when the preview's French?).
