Anne and Steve run to a screening of Iron Man | Photo courtesy of Warner Brothers Steve Carrell is one of the funniest guys on television but it looks like he's dropped another turd on the big screen.

Photo courtesy of 20th Century Fox There's a certain kooky irresistibility to Doug Liman. By many accounts, he's virtually impossible to work with and yet the movies he turns out are often very good (Swingers, The Bourne Identity), and one is even great (Go).

The Conan Countdown goes on and the world's longest lame duck continues to be lame. Our question about next week's "Tonight Show" line-up is how much did the producers of "Pulse" pay to get on Leno Wednesday and Thursday nights, did no one want to follow Will Ferrell on Thurs? The downside for the Kristen Bell, pictured, horror flick written by Wes Craven is it doesn't come out until August 11, the upside is......
