Director Sam Raimi brings the terror with "Drag Me to Hell," a horror flick about a girl’s quest to break an evil curse.
Alison Lohman plays Christine Brown, an L.A. loan officer with a very nice boyfriend, Professor Clay Dalton (Justin Long). Life couldn’t be better, which is a dead giveaway that something horrible is about to happen.
When Mrs. Ganush (Lorna Raver) comes to the bank looking for an extension on her home loan (ripped from the headlines!), Christine denies the request, which is a really bad thing to do. The woman ends up placing a curse on Christine, turning her life into a living hell.
So she seeks help from a seer named Rham Jas (Dileep Rao) who instructs her on how to reverse the spell. "Drag Me to Hell" arrives in theaters May 29, 2009. It’s rated PG-13 (say what?) for sequences of horror violence, terror, disturbing images and language.
After the jump, a trailer and TV spots…
Fighting – Preview & Trailer

Channing Tatum is super hot right now. He’s got three big movies coming out: “Fighting” (in theaters tomorrow), “Public Enemies” (July 1, 2009), and “G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra” (Aug. 7, 2009).
In “Fighting,” Tatum plays a young counterfeiter in New York City who’s introduced to underground street fighting by a scam artist (Terrence Howard). Directed by Dito Montiel, it’s rated PG-13 for intense fight sequences, a sex scene and brief strong language.
Honestly, I think Tatum (and his muscles) are the big draw here. The plot isn’t really doing it for me.
The Ugly Truth – Trailer & Preview

Adorable Katherine Heigl and Gerard Butler star in “The Ugly Truth,” a romantic comedy about a chauvinistic reporter who gets involved with a romantically challenged morning show producer. I like both of these actors, so I’m hoping they make some sparks onscreen (even though I can’t help but think of him as King Leonidas in the very non-romantic 300).
Directed by Robert Luketic, the movie snagged an R rating for sexual content and language, and hits theaters July 24, 2009. Check out the trailer and see what you think…

Here’s the most recent trailer for "Up," an animated movie from Pixar that looks beautiful and creative and full of interesting characters. It’s from the same people who created "Finding Nemo," "Monsters, Inc.," and "Toy Story," and tells the story of an old man (Ed Asner) who ties a bunch of balloons to his house and flies away to the wilderness with a 9-year-old stowaway (Jordan Nagai). Directed by Pete Docter and Bob Peterson, "Up" sails into theaters May 29, 2009.
Crank: High Voltage – New Trailer

An artificial heart, a race through the city, and some jumper cables set the stage for this manic sequel to "Crank."
"Crank: High Voltage" stars Jason Statham as Chelios, a guy whose nearly indestructible heart is stolen by a Chinese mobster. But at least he didn’t leave him high and dry. Chelios’ heart is replaced with a battery-powered model that requires regular jolts of electricity to keep it going. I just wonder if he’ll have to have sex with Amy Smart in a public square, like he did in the first movie. This ones hits theaters April 17, 2009.
Knowing - Preview & Trailer

I haven’t been that intrigued by Nicolas Cage’s recent movies. Well, I’ve liked his “National Treasure” movies because they’re just good clean fun. But I wasn’t that crazy about “Bangkok Dangerous.” But “Knowing” looks like it could be good.
In “Knowing,” Rose Byrne plays the daughter of a woman who buried a 1962 time capsule, along with the dates of the assassinations of historical figures, the hotel fire death of the wife of a professor (Cage) and an imminent world apocalypse. After the professor discovers its contents and alerts her, the skeptical Byrne begins remembering strange incidents from her childhood.
Directed by Alex Proyas, “Knowing” hits theaters this Friday, March 20, 2009. It’s rated PG-13 for disaster sequences, disturbing images and brief strong language. Check out the trailer:
New Trailer for "Dragonball Evolution"

I was slammed the other day for saying I’m looking forward to "Dragonball Evolution" (and you still haven’t told me YOUR favorites for 2009, C-Dog – come on!), but I think this movie looks fantastic. Even better if you know a bit of the Japanese anime story behind it.
Created by Akira Toriyama, this movie tells the story of an alien sent to destroy Earth. But the alien has a change of heart and decides to join forces with the humans to fight the aliens and bad guys. Sounds good, doesn’t it? (Huh, C-Dog, huh?!)
Justin Chatwin, James Marsters (Spike!), Emmy Rossum and Ernie Hudson are just a few of the stars in this film, directed by James Wong and scheduled for an April 8, 2009 release. Check out the trailer, and see what you think:
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince – Trailer 3

Here’s the most recent trailer to emerge for "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince," arriving in theaters July 17, 2009. I was surprised to learn that the film is rated PG for scary images, some violence, language and mild sensuality. As dark as the trailers seem and with "Goblet of Fire" getting a PG-13 rating, it seemed natural that this movie would stay the course with a PG-13 rating.
In some ways, it’s good. It means more kids will be able to see it. On the other hand, it might mean the film isn’t as intense as they’re making it out to be. Or they could be completely off on their ratings, and maybe it SHOULD be rated PG-13. That happens quite often, in my view.
What do you think? Should "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" be rated PG-13?
