Let me start off by saying that I am not a big fan of Smallville. It's done some interesting things lately by bringing in more superheroes and supervillains from the comics, but before this season, I hadn't watched in years. So I am not some kind of Kreukaholic. I think Kristin Kreuk is pretty, and has a pleasant speaking voice, and I would like to see her in other roles, but that's about it. So when I found out that she was cast as Chun Li in the new Street Fighter movie, I was excited, since I love that game. Little did I know that the studio would later decide that they had made some kind of mistake.

As someone who occasionally has big, bushy muttonchop sideburns, people may think I'm a bit biased towards Wolverine. But while I've read X-Men comic books since junior high, it wasn't until Hugh Jackman played him that I really took to the guy. Jackman gave him a humanity and vulnerability that I could never really see in the comics, which is why I'm psyched that they finally got around to making a solo Wolverine flick, even if it has the clunky title X-Men Origins: Wolverine. The first trailer debuted this past weekend in front of The Day the Earth Stood Still, and while it has less Sabretooth than the earlier San Diego Comic-Con footage did, it still looks awesome. These are the five things I liked most about it, and the five things I liked the least.

It's a crazy, mixed-up world, and I Love You, Phillip Morris looks like it might be a bit mixed-up, as well, if the newly released French trailer is anything to go by. The movie stars Jim Carrey as a church-going married man named Steven Russell, whose revelation after a car accident is that he's gay. He then embarks upon not just a life of uninhibited gayness but crime, as well. The latter lands him in prison, where he meets Phillip Morris (played by Ewan McGregor) and the two fall madly in love. It's based on the true story of a Texas man who escaped prison four times to be with his former cellmate. Sounds good, in theory. Who doesn't love a good against-all-odds love story? The problem is that mixed-up trailer.

While there may not be a wealth of movie news out there today (I'm about to march down to the Variety offices and let them know that they're not on vacation yet, thankyouverymuch), there are certainly a buttload of new posters and trailers up all over the internet. The coolest of which, in my opinion, is the exclusive over at Ain't It Cool News of an extra snippet of the newest Star Trek trailer, featuring Leonard Nimoy. That's all I'll tell you -- I'd advise you to go check it out yourself.

For months, there was virtual silence about J.J. Abram's new take on Star Trek. Details of the plot and images of the cast were kept tightly under wraps. Now, some six months before the movie bows in May 2009, you can hardly go a day without stumbling across some new Trek tidbit. Whether it's a new trailer featuring Leonard Nimoy or a new movie poster, news is coming fast and furious. Just yesterday, IDW Publishing announced it would be publishing a four-issue prequel comic book miniseries leading up to the new movie. As if that's not enough grist for the fannish mill, there are also new still shots from the scene in the trailer where young Kirk comes face to face with... Well, it's kind of hard to explain. Click on through only if you want to get a gander at what happens.

Posters and trailers for the new Star Trek movie continue to pour out, exciting the sci-fi geek within us all. The latest release was the trailer that aired before the scads of people who went to see Quantum of Solace. And, oh, what a trailer it was.

What's exciting and new in the world of Movies Without Pity this week? These were our top stories:

Quantum of Solace: Reviewed! -- What drove Zach to review the kick-ass sequel to Casino Royale? Revenge.

Edward Cullen's Guide to Dating -- The Twilight star teaches his fellow vamps how to score with teenage girls.

Alternate Titles for Quantum of Solace -- My favorite? You Only Blink Never. I think it would have killed.

Brett Ratner to Direct Conan/Joe Johnston to Direct Captain America -- Boo-yay! (That's a boo and a yay mixed together.)

New Watchmen Movie Trailer Breakdown - Short version? It's awesome if you're a newbie and controversial if you're a nerd.

Trailers Without Pity -- Our newest vlog rips apart the trailer for The Tale of Despereaux, which is like making fun of young fish who don't know any better in a barrel that they consider a safe zone.

Australia: The Paul Hogan Story -- Baz Luhrmann's new Ozzie epic works equally well as a "Crocodile" Dundee biopic.

Clone Wars and Kung Fu Panda DVD Reviews -- Find out whether these animated DVDs are worth buying or just renting.

Sequel Alert! -- A Twilight sequel is a no-brainer. The Cloverfield sequel should be a higher priority. A Universal Soldier sequel should be reconsidered.

Well, the first non-teaser trailer for Watchmen appears in front of Quantum of Solace this weekend, but it's already up online, and it is good. At least, most people would say that it was good. There are still haters out there, including those who cry foul every time an element is changed from the original graphic novel, and others who simply can't stand director Zack Snyder's slow-motion filmmaking. But the trailer certainly looks beautiful, and it explains the murder-mystery plot pretty well to people who might not be familiar with the comic. Whether the haters are right, and this movie will end up being a huge mess, it's too early to tell, so let's just focus on what we saw in the trailer, shall we?

Think your local theater shows too many previews and commercials? Theaters in England will make you think differently. At the Odeon Theater, I discovered where Regal Cinemas got their idea for that ridiculous package of pre-movie commercials they used to call "The Twenty." The Odeon's package was more like "The Forty," and no, it didn't come with an endorsement from Ice Cube. The only thing scarier than the theater's 8 million showings of High School Musical 3 was the amount of time between when the lights went down and the actual movie came on. The theater was nice and comfortable, but I felt like I was watching Reverse TiVo.

Despite looking like a goth version of the big meeting at the beginning of The Warriors, Spike TV's Scream Awards managed to pull in some pretty big talent Tuesday night. Liv Tyler, Milla Jovovich, Gary Oldman, Anthony Hopkins, Ron Perlman and Jon Favreau were among the A-listers who showed up to get screamed at by a group of extras from Rob Zombie and Marilyn Manson videos. (Both were in attendance.) But the real treat of the night was the appearance of the Watchmen cast, who brought along some new footage... okay, it was a lot of old footage, mostly from the first trailer, but there were some tasty gems buried within, ones that nobody had seen before, not even the press.
