Time to take another spin around the web to dig up some of the new movie posters that have been recently released in digital form. This week we kick things off with a pair of Iron Man 2 posters, one of which gives us our first real glimpse of War Machine. Simple, effective... but not terribly exciting.
Some other new one sheets include a slick Tron Legacy teaser, the official poster for Noah Baumbach's Greenberg, and one final Avatar IMAX poster. Ultimately, however, nothing can compare to the beautiful artwork created for Nanny McPhee 2 and Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel. Now that's something you want to get framed. Which one is your favourite? Take a look at all of the pretty pictures after the jump.

Review: "Everybody's Fine"

Seen on: November 30, 2009
The players: Director: Kirk Jones, Writer: Kirk Jones, Cast: Robert De Niro, Drew Barrymore, Kate Beckinsale, Sam Rockwell
Facts of interest: Kirk Jones also directed "Nanny McPhee."
The plot: A widower decides to embark on a journey to visit his busy children.
Our thoughts: The troubled characters in “Everybody’s Fine” are all okay by the end of the movie, but their road to happiness sure is a tedious one. No, I really didn’t enjoy Kirk Jones’ latest family drama, and one of the reasons why I couldn’t connect with it is the film’s predictability and lack of a sophisticated story line.

Robert De Niro in Everybody's Fine
Photo: Miramax Films
Directed by Kirk Jones (Nanny McPhee), Everybody's Fine is this year's family Christmas film. Unfortunately, it never really becomes anything more than a semi-sweet story, good enough for a weekend rental, not necessarily worthy of your theatrical dollar.
Robert De Niro stars as Frank, a man who's just lost his wife. We first meet him as he is preparing for the arrival of his children for a family get together. Unfortunately, after the wine is purchased and a new barbeque is in place, each of them cancels at the last minute. As a result, he decides if they won't come to him, he'll go to them. Against his doctor's wishes, Frank packs up and leaves his home where he eats alone and his only true joy is his garden and sets out on his cross-country journey.
Each visit offers its own difficulties,

'Everybody's Fine' Too Cloying to Feel Authentic

| CinemaSpy

Everybody's Fine seems tailor-made for those with big hearts, small brains, and a wad of tissues in their pockets. Despite a solid cast and strong source material, this remake of a 1990 film from Cinema Paradiso director Giuseppe Tornatore quickly devolves into a mess of treacle and tears.
In the comedy-tinged drama, recently widowed Frank Goode (Robert De Niro) has lost touch with his grown children Amy (Kate Beckinsale), Rosie (Drew Barrymore), Robert (Sam Rockwell), and David (Austin Lysy), particularly since the death of his beloved wife. When everyone fails to show up for a family event at his home, Frank decides to head across the country to surprise each of his sons and daughters.
A trip to New York finds artist David absent from his downtown apartment, and Frank's other visits don't go much better. He is quickly shooed away from Amy's Chicago home, and his arrival in Robert's Denver doesn't last much longer.

American Road Trip: Everybody's Fine

»
In Everybody's Fine, the new adaptation of the 1990 Italian classic Stanno tutti bene (which starred Marcello Mastroianni), Frank Goode (Robert De Niro) is a newly-widowed retiree just trying to keep busy: gardening, vacuuming, doctor's appointments, grocery shopping... On a larger scale, he is trying to reconnect with his grown children (Drew Barrymore, Sam Rockwell, and Kate Beckinsale), and when they won't come to visit him, he sets out on a road trip - via Amtrak and Greyhound - traversing the same country across which he strung telephone lines for forty years.
Writer/director Kirk Jones (Waking Ned Devine, Nanny McPhee) is a Brit, and though his vision seemed ripe for an American road movie, he knew he had to get the lay of the land before writing the script. Cue the cross-country trip, a la Frank himself: countless buses, trains, and cheap motels later, Jones knew he had found his inspiration.

"Everyone's been asking how we're doing this week," film critic-turned-afi programmer Robert Koehler said, shortly before a screening of Juan José Campanella's Argentinean murder mystery "The Secret of Their Eyes." "And the answer is our sponsors." Indeed, thanks to chief sponsor Audi, AFI has responded to an economy that's been particularly unkind to film festivals with free tickets that have ensured capacity attendance to most, if not all, of their screenings at the Mann's Chinese Theaters in Hollywood.
Even the more obscure titles that Koehler and his team have programmed, like Philippe Grandrieux's "The Lake" or the Spanish Berlinale winner "The Milk of Sorrow," have seen solid attendance. But the fact that so many have been asking the question is more telling than the answer -- with a changing audience profile (a Bugs Bunny impersonator wandered into Tuesday's screening of "Youth in Revolt" in full costume from entertaining

Last Chance Harvey is a romantic comedy directed by Joel Hopkins and starring Dustin Hoffman and Emma Thompson. After seeing Thompson in roles like Proffessor Sybil Trelawney in Potter and Nanny McPhee, it was nice to see her return to a standard role where we get to see her acting ability shine through.
Last Chance Harvey is about a man who is a composer for TV commercials in theUnited States. He’s stuck in his job which has changed over the years to become digital meaning the job he once loved as a muscian has become mundane and tedious. The main storyline follows Harvey travelling to London, England to see his daughter get married. He arrives to find that the wedding has been planned without any input from him but by his exwife and his daughter’s step father. Things go from bad to worse when his daughter tells him

Thompson Writes Screenplays To Avoid Typecasting

Emma Thompson refuses to worry about how ageing might affect her Hollywood career - because she writes her own parts.
The Oscar-winning actress has added her own twist to scripts of several of her movies, and fully tackled the role of screenwriter for her adaptation of kids' book Nanny McPhee.
But she insists the added workload is worth it - because it prevents her from being typecast in the ageist film industry.
Thompson says, "I write my own roles, which is helpful. Of course though, there are older parts like the one I played in Brideshead Revisited, which was excellent."
And the Brit is adamant she will never go under the knife to turn back the clock - insisting it's possible to look great as you get older.
She adds, "I'm not fiddling about with myself. We're in this awful youth-driven thing now where everybody needs to look 30 at 60. The trick is to age honestly and make it look great so that everyone looks forward to it."

Remember when the first Nanny McPhee hit theatres back in 2005? Friends, family, colleagues, everyone kept telling me how fantastic the film was. Me being me however, I dismissed it as a silly family movie…that is up until I finally caught it on Sky Movies in 2006.
Continuing on from that first, fantastic installment is Nanny McPhee and The Big Bang – and it looks like the series has lost none of it’s charm!
In Nanny McPhee and the Big Bang, Oscar®-winning actress and screenwriter Emma Thompson returns to the role of the magical nanny who appears when she’s needed the most and wanted the least in the next chapter of the hilarious and heartwarming fable that has enchanted children around the world.

Trailer - 'Everbody's Fine' Appears Otherwise

Oof, does this movie look weak. No offense to Robert De Niro, Sam Rockwell, Drew
Barrymore, and Kate Beckinsale, but if the script for Everybody's Fine is no better than the trailer
- or the title, for that matter - we're in trouble.
The film is the brainchild of writer-director Kirk Jones, who did Waking Ned Devine and Nanny
McPhee, both fine, funny films. So my hope is this trailer's just a steaming pile and the movie's
actually Ok. De Niro plays a widower trying to reconnect with his grown kids at Christmas after not being
as involved in their lives for a few years.
It's a simple concept, so really, the only question is whether or not Jones gives the characters any depth.
He usually does, but man, this trailer is pretty overpowering evidence to the contrary.

EW.com has put up a gallery of pictures, including two new shots here and here showing Liam Neeson as Zeus in Clash of the Titans. That's right, Qui Gon is so strong in the Force that he's gone from Jedi to Aslan to ruler of the Greek gods - take that, Obi-Wan!The new Clash of the Titans has made a few changes, as you can see, and decided that Greek gods should wear protection* rather than the old-school toga. Still present and correct, however, are the big beards and slightly poufy hair.For more on the film, check out the new issue of Empire. Clash of the Titans will be out on March 26 next year, up against Nanny McPhee 2. Hmm, Emma Thompson's warts vs. Neeson's armour; we're not sure which side we'd back there.*Not protection in that way, although come to think of it if they

I saw the trailer for Everybody's Fine in the theaters a while back and immediately thought to myself -- wow, that looks generic, but I'll be damned if it doesn't look like a quality bit of generic cinema with a potentially Oscar-worthy performance by Robert De Niro. Now, the same trailer is available online for you to judge.
Everybody's Fine is a remake of Giuseppe Tornatore's "Stanno Tutti Bene," and follows a widower (De Niro) who embarks on an impromptu road trip to reconnect with each of his grown children only to discover that their lives are far from picture perfect.

Gyllenhaal In Awe Of Thompson

Maggie Gyllenhaal is so in awe of actress Emma Thompson, she's been taking tips off her while filming Nanny McPhee And The Big Bang.
The Dark Knight star is currently in London shooting scenes for the sequel to 2005's Nanny McPhee, alongside Thompson who co-wrote and stars in the new picture.
The British actress has given Gyllenhaal some acting tips and she's impressed with Thompson's wise words.
Gyllenhaal says, "Early on, Emma gave me a couple of notes. And she's not directing me, she's acting with me! If some other actor started giving me notes I would tell them to 'F**k off' - there is not one other actor I would allow that from.
"But they were fantastic notes - clear and totally helpful. I just thought to myself, 'She's teaching me and I'd be an idiot not to accept it.' And Emma's what, 50? It would be silly of me not to acknowledge that she knows more than I do."
