"The American Medical Association Alliance is unhappy with the appearance of a specific cigarette brand (American Spirit Lights) in He’s Just Not That Into You and is filing an official complaint to Warner Bros. and Time Warner over the issue. Brooks Barnes reports in today’s New York Times that the advocacy group doesn’t care that smoking is shown in a bad light in the romantic comedy (a character gets dumped for lying about quitting smoking, an offense seen as even worse than cheating); they think any acknowledgment of the act of smoking cigarettes — even if nobody is actually seen smoking onscreen, a la HJNTIY — could influence young people to start smoking. The smoking in movies issue has brought about much debate regarding censorship in the last few years, but I say bring on the smoking ban. And then Hollywood can get creative with hints at smoking the way it used to use innuendo and other fun tricks to imply sex. The irony would be that in the past, cigaret "

"(photo: La Jetée, Hellboy II: The Golden Army) Guillermo del Toro’s Hellboy II: The Golden Army hits theaters this Friday. Del Toro is a rare filmmaker who, despite his unique vision, often works on projects based on material from an outside source (Pan’s Labyrinth being a notable exception). Assuming all the legal issues get ironed out, he’ll next direct a two part film adaptation of Tolkien’s The Hobbit, the most prestigious property to date to get the del Toro treatment. Here are seven either failed or unjustly obscure movies ripe for being remade by Hellboy’s father.

"Release Year: 1984Director: Wolfgang Peterson *****In the wake of the success of the original Star Wars trilogy, every producer in the world ran toward science fiction/fantasy films. Krull, Conan the Barbarian, Beastmaster. The list goes on and on. So it shouldn't be any shock that this film, released after 1983's Return of the Jedi is a fantasy film shamelessly riding the coattails of George Lucas' epic trilogy. What The Neverending Story forgets is that Star Wars was foremost about character and only secondarily about the aliens. Plus, frankly, the story told in a galaxy far, far away actually had an ending that didn't make the audience want to throw their popcorn at the screen. Bastian is a boy living in the modern world with modern problems: his mother is dead, his father doesn't quite know how to deal with his book-worm son, bullies pick on him. In short, he's the typical "nerd". But on the run from bullies "

"I never get tired of watching this film. Even though my cousin Jonathan will disagree, I think the SFX still mostly hold up, especially when you consider that "Clash of the Titans" came out only 3 years before this film, and the SFX in that film look horrible. I think the story is strong and even though the music is dated, that damn song will still get stuck in your head. If I ever had kids, they will most certainly be watching this film...and I hope they get as much enjoyment out of it as I have through the years. "

"Yep, reliving my childhood again.When I watched it this time, my focus was drawn to two points: Atreyu unable to escape from Fantasia riding the Luck Dragon through The Nothing over the Sea of Possibility ... metaphorical, much?... and Atreyu's confrontation of G`mork.G`mork ... I was always afraid of him as a kid, but now he seems like a friend of mine. "I am a servant of the master of The Nothing. I aid The Nothing in Destroying Hope ... [Why?] Because people without hope are easy to control." Yes!But it all came together for me with What Dreams May Come. I won't say much more except something strange, like "before- and after adulthood."Before I started watching What Dreams May Come, I saw Anne Hathaway, 24, in Ok! First Celebrity News; and she reminded me of The Childlike Empress ... maybe she did play the Empress, though probably not---but I'm not putting it past her.

"Well, it might've been this (The NeverEnding Story), or The Goonies, or The Muppet Family Christmas ... but this was definitely one of the firsts. I'm not sure if Jim Henson or Frank Oz had anything to do with it, but the puppetry effects were at least up to their caliber.I put this on my 'Must See'-list because--though it might be a bit cheesy--it successfully, enjoyably engrains young people with the message: you do have to "keep your feet on the ground" (along with most of your human-inte "

"The movie is very different from the book. The only part that I enjoyed was the inner story where one of the characters goes on the "Quest". But I find that in order for these books to be put to movies they need to stay as true to the book as possible for me to enjoy it. "

"1. The Empire Strikes Back: It's one of my first movie memories. I remember being afraid that the AT-AT and AT-ST walkers would attack the neighborhood. 2. The Adventures of the Wilderness Family: Probably the movie I watch the most as a kid. I re watched it about a year ago. Let me tell you, It does not hold up. 3. Fun And Fancy Free: For some reason, this was the Disney film that I always wanted to watch. I think it's still great. 4. The Neverending Story: So classic. 5. E.T.: It's still one of my favorite movies. "
