Trailer Watch: Tom Hardy vs. Chris Pine in This Means War

Chris Pine co-stars as his best friend and convoluted rival for Reese Witherspoon’s affections in McG’s latest, This Means War.

The spy action-comedy looks kind of like Mr. and Mr. Smith, except funnier… or maybe I’ll watch anything with Tom Hardy at this point. Hell if I know. Anyway, it comes out on February 17, 2012.

Trailer Watch: Albert Nobbs

Courtesy Yahoo! Movies, comes the trailer for the film adaptation of the stage adaptation of “The Singular Life of Albert Nobbs,” a short story by Irish novelist George Moore.

The trailer is warm and heartfelt, and while reviews have been mixed, generally reviews have said Glenn Close’s performance as Albert is strong. (Close started the role on stage 15 years ago and co-wrote the screenplay with John Banville).

The film hits (American) theaters on January 27, 2012. Aaron Johnson (Kick-Ass) and Mia Wasikowska (Alice in Wonderland, The Kids Are All Right) co-star. Rodrigo Garcia (Mother and Child) directs.

Multiplex: Book 2 begins here! The Chapter 6 eBook is now available.

The Multiplex: Chapter 6 eBook, is now available for in the Multiplex Store! This 34 page PDF format eBook is perfect for reading on an iPad or any other tablet. (A PDF reader is required.)

Chapter 6 collects strips #103–121 from the Multiplex archives, plus six bonus comics (a few of which first appeared at the Deleted Scenes blog) and two extended scenes — all for only $1.49! Highlights include the Blogger becoming the Multiplex 10′s new Santa and the introduction of our gang’s archenemies: the staff of Flickhead Video.

As I’ve mentioned before, if you’re one of those Multiplex fans eager to see the Book 2 print collection come out sooner or later, you can speed up the production of Book 2 by getting the Multiplex eBooks — and you won’t be spoiling the printed book completely, since — like Multiplex: Enjoy Your Show (Book 1) — there will be even more bonus comics exclusive to the printed collection. (Unlike Book 1, however, the exclusive comics in Book 2 won’t be a single story, but several regular-length strips spread throughout the collection.)

Think of each eBook as a mini-Kickstarter for the creation of Multiplex: Book 2.
