X-Men First Class News!!!
Details on the latest 'X-Men' film, 'X-Men First Class' have surfaced. If you wish not to know about the film, please stop reading now. The film is to take place in the 1960s with JFK as president and the look of the film is supposed to mimic that of the original X-Men costumes than previous films have, though the film's chronology pre-dates the First Class story in the comics, meaning that many of the expected characters (Cyclops and Marvel Girl are listed by name) will not appear.
The rumored villian is said to be Sebastian Shaw (played by Kevin Bacon). January Jones's Emma Frost will appear as the Hellfire Club's White Queen as well.
The central focus of the film is the friendship between Charles Xavier (James McAvoy) and Eric Lensherr (Michael Fassbender) and how it falls apart.
X-Men: First Class is slated to hit theaters on June 3, 2011.
Are you excited? What do you think about this retro X-Men film?

Kicking and Screaming!!!
The 2005 Will Ferrell soccer film, 'Kicking and Screaming' did not get the recognition it deserved! This film is comical, heartwarming and Will Ferrell plays a somewhat relatable guy, which in most cases doesn't happen often. Will Ferrell plays Phil Weston a smart, calm, pushover who has problems standing up to his insensitive, aggressive father Buck (Robert Duvall). Phil used to play for his father's soccer team when he was a child and his own father made him a 'benchwarmer.' But, now that Phil is older, married and has a son Sam(Dylan McLaughlin) things are a little different. This time, poor Sam is the benchwarmer for his grandpa's team. When Buck trades his own grandson, Phil steps up and decides to help Sam have fun playing soccer instead of sitting the bench, by filling in as his soccer coach of his new team. But, things don't go exactly as planned.
