Joel McHale has joined Jessica Alba in the cast of Robert Rodriguez's upcoming "Spy Kids" sequel/reboot-type thing.

According to Jeremy Renner, he and Noomi Rapace could be the stars of Tommy Wirkola's "Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters."

Mark Romanek's Never Let Me Go and Danny Boyle's 127 Hours will open and close the Brit festival.

Wentworth Miller rose to recognition with his role in TV's hit series Prison Break, in which he played the jailhouse architect trying to bust out his falsely imprisoned brother. He's no stranger to horror franchises, though, having appeared in 2003's vampires-versus-werewolves showdown Underworld, and this week he's back among the land of the undead in Resident Evil: Afterlife -- the fourth installment of the enduring video game-inspired series. In Paul W.S. Anderson's 3-D actioner, Miller is Chris Redfield, older brother to Ali Larter's Claire -- and, not incidentally, one of the original heroes from the very first Resident Evil game. We recently spoke to the amiable (and absurdly well-toned) Miller and asked him to name his all-time Five Favorite Films.

The dearth of truly quality movie DVDs continues, as most of the brand new releases this week of films that came out this year are quite solidly Rotten. Having said that, we've also attempted to fish out a few good re-releases, as well as one indie film that was Certified Fresh but didn't see much action at the box office. There were also a handful of Blu-Ray titles which were simply reissues of previous releases (Forbidden Planet and Stardust, for example), so we decided to leave those off the list. So have a look and see if anything tickles your fancy.
