    AVATAR

    Avatar Another Reason to Head to Comic-Con The geek-fest might show the premiere of the first footage. Or you could save yourself a lot of time and money and wait for it to be posted online 10 minutes later.

    SPIDER-MAN 4

    Spider-Man Who’s in, Who’s Out In: Kirsten Dunst. Probably, but not officially. They should replace her with Maggie Gyllenhaal. She did a great job replacing Katie Holmes in The Dark Knight. She could be a sort of go-to replacement actress in superhero movies. Out: Morbius, the Living Vampire, as the villain. Eh, True Blood gives me my vampire fix anyway.

    FULL HOUSE

    John Stamos John Stamos Has Some Really Great Ideas Such as making a "Full House" movie with James Franco, Tracy Morgan and Steve Carell. Not like any of those guys would return his calls, but that’s almost so stupid it’s brilliant. It’s certainly cooler than the live-action "Jetsons" movie Robert Rodriguez wants to butcher.

    HOWL

    James Franco See the Resemblance? Speaking of James Franco, here’s the first pic of him as poet Alan Ginsberg. Not bad, but I still would have gone with David Cross.

    TRANSFORMERS 2: REVENGE OF THE FALLEN

    Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen More Robots! More Fighting! More Mind-Numbing! The IMAX version has extra robot fighting in four scenes that are shot on real IMAX 70mm film. They should do an art-house version that has more robots sitting around talking about relationships.
