One of Sundance 2008’s critical and audience faves was “American Teen,” director Nanette Burstein’s profile of a series of students at an Indiana high school. A cross between John Hughes and the PBS reality show “American High,” “American Teen” introduces us to a variety of personalities ranging from the jock to the outsider.

The film was quickly snatched up by Paramount Vantage, who will be releasing it later this year. But until then, you can check out five of our exclusive character-specific trailers that we’ve been unveiling this week…click here to watch them all. Below check out the last of them, on Colin, the school’s basketball star who’s facing the army if his sports scholarship doesn’t come through.

That’s right folks, we’ve got an extended preview of one of the summer’s most anticipated flicks, “Speed Racer,” hitting theaters this Friday. In the scene, Speed Racer (Emile Hirsch) learns what the Mach 5 can do, and puts its tricks to the test. After you check that out, click here to see our interviews with the cast, including Hirsch, Christina Ricci, and Matthew Fox.

Who’da thought the “Punk’d” creator was so worldly? We had no idea until we sat down with the actor for his new film, “What Happens In Vegas…” along with his co-star Rob Corddry. You can read our entire “Vegas” chat here, but in the meantime, if you’ve ever wanted to hear “Dude, Where’s My Car” spoken in Japanese, here’s your chance.

On Monday, we asked you to film your thoughts on the recently released sneak peek of the vampire love story. Now, we share the best of the bunch. The following video is airing on our channels, now watch it below. And remember to keep submitting your “Twilight” video reactions from now until December over on YouRHere.MTV.com.

What happens when Liv Tyler’s home is invaded by masked strangers? Thankfully her new new suspense thriller will answer that very question, as Tyler’s character and her husband are forced to fend off the mysterious baddies. Watch an exclusive clip below, and then catch “The Strangers” in theaters on May 30.

Before there was “Shaun of the Dead” and “Hot Fuzz,” there was “Spaced,” one of the funniest series to ever come out of Britain (and that’s saying something). A couple months ago we broke the news that the show was finally coming to DVD, and now it’s official with BBC America giving a July 22 release date for the 14-episode box set.

For those not in the know, “Spaced” was a manically edgy, unconventional TV comedy that starred Simon Pegg and Jessica Stevenson as two strangers who pretend to be a married couple in order to rent an apartment. Directed by Edgar Wright and co-starring Pegg’s partner-in-crime Nick Frost as a weapons-obsessed military nut, “Spaced” was filled to the brim with every obscure pop culture reference under the sun…like a genius-level “Family Guy.” Read more…

Just like in the real world, senior year at East High means tough decisions for the graduating class. And that’s what we’re gonna be seeing as “High School Musical 3” dances its way into theaters on October 24 later this year (see the poster here).

At a press conference signaling the start of production, the cast addressed what fans can expect from the third year. Resident hunk and winker extraordinaire Zac Efron took the reigns, stating “This is the final year at East High for the Wildcats, so we’re kind of deciding for ourselves what we should do with our futures. For my character, basketball is a huge priority, but then there’s also his new love of theater. [There are] a lot more decisions to make.”

We first became enamored with Mezco Toyz back when we covered them during February’s Toy Fair, where they showed us their toy lines for “The Spirit” and “Hellboy II: The Golden Army.” Unfortunately, back then we weren’t allowed to photograph what was probably their coolest offering of all…a massive, highly-detailed 18-inch figure of ‘ol sawed-off devil horns himself, Hellboy, ripped from Guillermo del Toro’s new movie.

Well, now we can. The company has given us three exclusive photos of the $70 statue, which drops the end of June and comes equipped with the coat, the Samaritan hand gun from the first film, and a new, 6-barrelled shotgun, along with twelve points of articulation.

Check out MezcoToyz.com for more info, and more pics after the jump. Read more…

Yes, from “The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2” and “What Happens in Vegas…” to “Sex and the City: The Movie,” there are more than a few rom-coms coming soon to a theater near you. For his film “Made of Honor,” star Patrick Dempsey tries to tell us that his flick is for dudes too, but we’re not fully convinced. Take a look below and let us know what you think.

Well, you can’t say the cast isn’t enthusiastic about the start of production for the first big-screen version of the blockbuster “High School Musical” franchise.

Shooting is soon to begin on the third flick that finds high school seniors Troy (Zac Efron) and Gabriella (Vanessa Hudgens) facing the depressing prospect of attending different colleges. Co-starring Ashley Tisdale, Lucas Grabeel, Corbin Bleu and MOnique Coleman, much dancing will ensue. “High School Musical 3: Senior Year” is scheduled to hit theaters on October 24, 2008.

Click here to read the article, watch the videos and see the photos, and below check out Robert Downey Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow and Jeff Bridges get quizzed on Iron Man’s armor.

That’s the question we asked as “Iron Man” fastly approaches its Friday release. So with that in mind, we compare the epic superheroes’ backstories, gadgets, costumes and more to see who would come out on top. For more side-by-side discussion of the billionaire heroes, click here.

It was a Sundance fave, and now we’ve got a first look at the new poster for the Luke Wilson starrer “Henry Poole Is Here.” The film — which hits theaters on August 15th — finds Wilson playing a disillusioned loner who abandons his life to live out in isolation, only to find himself in the middle of a potential miracle.
