I’ve been seeing the trailer for He’s Just Not That Into You a lot lately and it looks like a really cute film. Releasing this Friday, it’s got a great ensemble cast featuring Ben Affleck, Jennifer Aniston, Jennifer Connelly, Kevin Connelly, Bradley Cooper, Drew Barrymore, Ginnifer Goodwin, Scarlett Johansson and Justin Long. The romantic comedy is based on a book by the same name and the screen is written by Greg Behrendt and Liz Tucillo, who wrote for the Sex and the City series. I must say, I thank my lucky stars every day for my husband, but I was a single girl once and I can still appreciate the humor and heartache in how men and women misinterpret each others calls, texts, emails and every word. He’s Just Not Into You comes out just in time for Valentines’ Day, and seems like a great movie to see with the girls. View the preview below.

Frank Miller, the creator of Sin City is coming out with a new movie this Christmas called The Spirit: My City Screams, based on the classic comic strip created by Will Eisner called The Spirit. I’m really excited about the release of this movie and I can’t wait to see it. The story is a classic good v. evil flick (with Samuel L. Jackson as the “bad guy”) and it’s chock full of some good old fashioned femme fatales including Eva Mendes, Scartett Johansson, Jaime King and Sarah Paulson. What I love about this film already (and one of the reasons why I loved Sin City) is the way that it’s filmed. Frank Miller brings comics to life in a way that doesn’t make it look juvenile. His use of color is beautiful and I can watch all day just to see the color pop against a back drop of black, gray and white. Though the film isn’t slated to release until December of this year, the website has lots of cool features including trailers, downloads and other interactive activities. Check out more trailers and posters after the jump . . .

Scarlett Johansson released her debut album, Anywhere I Lay My Head, a few weeks back that contains 10 “interpretations” of Tom Waits’ songs and one original song written by Scarlett and David Andrew Sitek of TV On The Radio. Sitek also produced the album and other featured guests include Nick Zinner, guitarist for the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Sean Antanaitis from Celebration. I’ve only heard her covers on Youtube and I have to say, her voice is much better than I anticipated. She sounds like an American Nico – low range, a bit husky but without the accent. I think her choice of music is a good choice and makes sense for the Scarlett Johansson “brand.” She’s not trying to be a pop princess, instead, her album comes across as an art project and separates her from the other starlets that are in-and-out of rehab. With her successful acting career and her endeavors as a fashion designer for SJ Hearts for Reebok, one has to wonder whether Ms. Johansson is the next triple threat ala JLo and Gwen Stefani. What do you think?
