Mavis (Theron) is driving back to her childhood town of Minnesota. She has one aim: to win back her old flame, Buddy (Wilson). So what if he's married and he's got a kid? Everyone knows babies are boring. Mavis sticks in an old cassette tape of 90s music. The Concept by Teenage Fanclub comes on. "She wears denim wherever she goes. Says she's gonna get some records by the Status Quo," she sings. "I didn't want to hurt you, ohhh yeah..." She stops. She rewinds. She listens again.

We've all seen that Shame UK trailer. You know, the one with Carey Mulligan singing New York New York. Without a doubt, it was the best trailer of 2011.

It's so beautiful that there's only one way in which could be improved...

My sister was struck down by (very mild) flu this week. After almost fainting on Saturday and feeling feverish on Sunday, it fell to me to nurse her back to health. Hot drinks, painkillers, fruit and veg all did their thing, but the best cure? Mrs. Doubtfire. (Not me dressing up as a woman, I should add, but the old battered VHS we used to watch as kids.)

It promptly got rescued from the pile of cassette tapes in the attic. (The cross-dressing could wait for another day.)

When it comes to amusing interviews, you can't beat a bit of Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. If you put them together in a press conference with Kristen Wiig, Sigourney Weaver, Joe Lo Tuglio, Jason Bateman and director Greg Mottola, you've got the greatest roomful of funny people since the film Paul. Which, by an coincidence, is exactly what they were there to talk about.

Comprising of Arrested Development actors, sci-fi geeks, Adventureland directors and movie legends, the ensemble spent a lot of time throwing around entertaining in-jokes. Here's what they had to say about aliens, Christians, and Steven Spielberg...

You're most likely aware of who/what Megamind is, but in case you're not up to speed on Dreamworks' new animation, this new trailer will help.

An alien orphan sent to Earth when his planet is destroyed, Metro Man (Brad Pitt) is a happy, healthy flying person. Raised by a rich family, he soon grows up to become the superhero protector of Metro City.

Megamind (Will Ferrell), on the other hand, crash lands in a prison. Raised by inmates and sporting a massive blue forehead, he soon turns to the evil life of all-powerful supervillain. But then, when he finally incapacitates Metro Man and destroys his powers, Megamind finds victory to be, well, kind of lonely.

Enter reporter Roxanne (Tina Fey), who tags along when the city falls under attack from new villain Titan (Jonah Hill), leaving Megamind to try and save the day.

Sporting tight-fitting spandex and a sidekick voiced by David Cross (he actually speaks in this trailer), Megamind is shaping up to be an amusing animated outing - the invisible car gag alone is pretty decent.

Megamind takes over cinemas on Friday 3rd December. The trailer's online over at Apple - we should have it for you soon.

Who's up for seeing a film about fertilisation called The Baster? Thought not. Good thing, then, that the title got changed to something more palatable. The Switch is a romantic comedy about Jennifer Aniston artificially inseminating herself with some guy’s sperm. Still up for seeing it? Well, you should be: unlike J-Lo’s The Back-Up Plan, this is actually quite amusing. Not the sperm bit, though. That’s still gross.

Director: Miguel Arteta
Cast: Michael Cera, Portia Doubleday, Jean Smart, Steve Buscemi, Zach Galifianakis

"I want to wrap your legs around my head and wear you like the crown that you are." Hang on a minute, did Michael Cera just say that? All-round likeable, soft-spoken dweeb? That's not the Michael Cera we know. That's more like some kind of rebellious French alter-ego. And it is.

You see, Nick Twisp (Cera) is a bit of a loser. He likes Frank Sinatra. And he's a virgin. Too bad Sheeni (Doubleday), the love of his life, doesn't find that attractive. She goes for bad boys. French boys. Boys who set fire to things and smoke cigarettes. So Nick dreams up his double, Francois Dillinger. Who torches half of Denver with a caravan.

The Arrested Development Movie will start shooting this year, confirmed Will Arnett at a press junket for When In Rome. The Arrested Development Movie blog announced his comments today. Arnett spoke to ComingSoon.net about the film, which has long been mooted for production since the series was cancelled in 2006. 

When asked about its current state, he replied that the script was still forthcoming but that it would get made by the end of the year. The cast have all signed on for the project, which is finally taking concrete shape. Arnett added, jokingly: "We're hoping once Jason Bateman gets out of rehab, I think that we're going to start shooting."

Arnett's career post-Arrested Development has seen him expand from failed magician brother Gob into other roles, including one in upcoming comic book adaptation Jonah Hex. But while it's great to see him doing other things, the news that it's only a few short months until he resumes his Bluth persona gets me extremely excited.

In fact, I think I just blue myself.

Paper Heart is a hard film to figure out. Then again, it's written by someone who's part-Filipino, semi-Spanish, kind of Korean, a little bit Irish, sometimes German, occasionally French and now and then Native American, so it's not that much of surprise. This is Charlyne Yi - stand-up comedienne, actress and all-round loveable wacko. Or at least, she would be, if she knew what love is. And so she's done this demi-documentary to discover exactly that.
