In the eyes of many geeks, "Star Wars" ruined its perfect batting average by going back to the well, as did "Indiana Jones" and several other notable franchises. But now, Dominic Monaghan is promising that "Lord of the Rings" won't leave a similar bad-sequel aftertaste in the mouths of its beloved fans.
And, to ensure it, Monaghan and his fellow Hobbits are making plans to once again return to Middle-earth. Check out the video below, and then click here to read the full article.

It was only last week that we premiered an exclusive clip of "Mystery Team," so it should still be in your head. But just in case it isn't, we got the low-down on the film from the NYC comedy troupe called Derrick that's responsible for this (hilarious) madness.
"The premise is the three of us play these three high school seniors," the group explained. "And when we were little kids we had this Encyclopedia Brown-style kid detective agency. The movie opens up and were like 18-years-old and we're still doing it the exact same way. so to prove to us and the town we could still be detectives as adults, we take it upon ourselves to solve a double murder."

You never know what you'll learn during an interview, and such was case when we caught up with Wesley Snips for his new ensemble picture "Brooklyn's Finest." Inquiring as to his Sundance plans, the actor lit up. "I'm going to try to find a Wii," he exclaimed. "The Wii Town."
Admitting he's not a gamer, Snipes was nonetheless passionate about his quest. "I've been hearing about it. I want to de-virginize myself into the Wii." Watch all of his Wiitastic comments -- including a movie? -- below, and then click here to watch all of our Sundance interviews.

We've been interviewing a steady parade of celebrities here at Sundance, so we thought what better way to capture the casual spirit of the fest than with a photo booth.

Yesterday evening we capped the day's adventures by fine dining with Mike Tyson. Today may not involve any boxing heavyweights, but we have Hollywood heavyweights galore.
And that's right, we said karate kid. We'll be chatting up Daniel-san himself, Ralph Macchio, for his new Slamdance film "Rosencrantz and Guildernstern Are Undead." But that's not all; we're also interviewing a hobbit! Dominic Monaghan to be precise.
Ewan McGregor and Jim Carrey play lovers in the film "Thank You Phillip Morris," and they'll be throwing some love our way too. We'll also be chatting up "Hustle and Flow" director Craig Brewer about his new MTV project, $5 Cover. Toss in even more names like Matthew Lillard, Pierce Brosnan and Jeff Daniels, and you can see we have quite a day ahead of us. So stay tuned!

They say to always expect the unexpected. And this is a tale, my friends, of one stranger passing in the night with another more famous and better looking stranger. You see, today is my birthday, and while I traditionally celebrate it by tearing down Christmas lights with my cat, I figured I'd roll normal Sundance partying into a larger, grander affair. Just like the inauguration!
Coincidently, my fellow MTV'ers Adam and Matt happened to be following ex-Danity Kane member Aubrey O'Day (watch that video here), and wouldn't you know it, we ended up at the same club. Much dancing (by others) ensued, and I got the first of numerous hugs by Aubrey and her flock of blonde-haired beauties. And then it took a sharp turn towards surreal.
I had actually left the club before returning later that night, and my colleague Rachel off-handedly remarked that Paris Hilton had dropped by. Apparently Aubrey is her true BFF (sorry MTV winner -- although to be fair, Paris did have them in tow). Also apparently, Paris enjoys wearing masks. Read More...
