Best Picture Oscar winner No Country for Old Men leads his week's bumper crop of new DVD releases. Also debuting are Steve Carell's relationship dramedy Dan in Real Life, Jerry Seinfeld's animated hit Bee Movie, Freddie Highmore's inspirational August Rush and the tween-friendly mystery Nancy Drew.
Our pick for the week is the videogame adaptation Hitman (available in both standard and extra-bloody unrated editions), not because it's an especially good movie, but because it provides a phenomenal sneak peak of smokin' hot Quantum of Solace Bond girl Olga Kurylenko.

Fresh off the success of their relentlessly bleak No Country for Old Men, the Coen Brothers aim to lighten things up a bit with Burn After Reading, a dark comedy about a pair of bumbling gym employees who happen upon the unpublished memoirs of a former CIA agent. The new flick's impressive ensemble cast includes Brad Pitt, George Clooney, John Malkovich and recent Oscar winner Tilda "Ziggy Stardust" Swinton.
Burn After Reading arrives in theaters on September 12, 2008, less than three months after another spy comedy, Steve Carell's big-budget TV adaptation Get Smart, opens. Which one are you looking forward to the most? Discuss.

Javier Bardem received as much attention for his hairstyle in No Country for Old Men as he did for his Oscar-winning portrayal of ruthless hitman Anton Chigurh. Is it a coincidence that Woody Harrelson, who acted alongside Bardem in the Coen Brothers' classic, is wearing the exact same haircut in his new comedy Semi-Pro? Look at the pics and decide for yourself.
And don't forget to check out our exclusive interview with Woody Harrelson.

I'm back from covering the Globes, having escaped the hoopla and mad rush for interviews with presenters Ryan Reynolds, Quentin Tarantino and Hayden Panettiere.
Unlike the equally early a.m Oscar Nom ceremony (which I also covered last year), the Globes are right down to business. There's no cool graphics with titles flipping live behind the presenter. Nope, the Globes cover such a broad range of categories that they pretty much rattle them off as quickly as possibly. At the Oscars, there was pause for cheers, almost comparable to an NFL draft. The Globes make you pay attention because, as tired as I was, it took a few seconds for whichever nominee they just said to sink in.
So what happened? Well, the Coen Brothers continued their strong run this Awards season with No Country For Old Men scoring noms in the Best Motion Picture - Drama, Best Director and Best Actor (Javier Bardem). Tim Burton's Sweeney Todd also scored some impressive noms for director Tim Burton, stars Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter as well as Best Picture in the Comedy or Musical category.
Sadly, no love for Superbad : (
You can check out the full list of nominees right here!
Next Showing: The Golden Globes will be given out on January 13th.

I'm up and ready to go here at a time where I'm usually fast asleep or, on a particularly eventful night, about to go to bed.
It's 4:11 a.m. here on the West Coast and at approximately 5 a.m. PST/8 a.m. EST the Golden Globe Nominations will be announced at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, CA where I am currently sitting in my car writing this. I'll be heading inside in a few minutes to enjoy all the hoopla.
Will No Country continue its current strong hold on the Awards season thus far? Will Superbad find Globe love where Oscar will ignore it? All remains to be seen shortly. We'll be reporting back from the Globes later this morning. Stay Tuned!!!
Next Showing: Golden Globe Nominations Are Announced at 5 am PST/8 am EST

Christmas comes early in Hollywood. Vince Vaughn's comedy Fred Claus is the first of this year's Holiday-themed releases to arrive at the Cineplex, squaring off against Robert Redford's political flick Lions for Lambs. The Coen Brothers' No Country for Old Men debuts in select theaters, carrying with it heaps of Oscar buzz.
A rundown of our reviews of this weekend's new releases:
Fred Claus 
"Sure, it's sappy and sentimental, but so is Christmas. I only wish it were funnier." [Full Review]
Lions for Lambs 
"A dull disappointment...not only did I find the end unsatisfying, it actually made me angry." [Full Review]
No Country for Old Men 
"The Coens return to their darker, earlier days and Brolin and Bardem deliver terrific performances." [Full Review]
Also opening: Saawariya, I'll Believe You, P2
