• Director Paul Fieg and producer Judd Apatow team-up again for this comedy that stars Kristen Wiig as Annie, a romantically unattached failed bakery owner who fears she’s losing her BFF, Lillian (Maya Rudolph), the best thing in her life, when Lillian announces she’s gotten engaged. Annie’s anxieties deepen as Lillian grows close to Helen (Rose Byrne), a wealthy and beautiful new friend who quickly assumes control of planning all the pre-wedding festivities. On top of the main storyline of a female friendship being torn apart, the movie adds a romantic storyline for Annie, who starts the film answering a booty call from the casually cruel yet undeniably handsome Ted (Jon Hamm), but develops a lovely flirtation with an Irish cop named Rhodes (Chris O’Dowd) after he pulls Annie over one night thinking she’s driving drunk. As the low-self-esteem Annie sabotages this new possibility for love, she also feels the most important friendship in her life slipping away. ~ Perry Seibert, Rovi

SONOMA, Calif., May 27, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- What could be more unexpected than sparkling wine from a food truck? Joining the exciting mobile food revolution, Freixenet USA announces the launch of the Freixenet Tastings & Tapas Truck this June. The "Black Bottle Bubbly" will visit five east coast cities to introduce the first food truck created to share the beauty and versatility of cava, Spain's sparkling wine, one glass of Freixenet at a time. As the first sparkling wine to go mobile, Freixenet recognizes that the food truck culture provides a unique and perfectly matched showcase to make sparkling wine accessible for everyday enjoyment, to highlight its fondness for food, and share Spain's love of nightlife.

BURBANK, Calif., May 27, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Columbia Pictures & Metro Goldwyn Mayer present The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.

CALGARY, Alberta, May 27, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- HeadsUp Entertainment International Inc. (Pink Sheets:HDUP) operators of the Canadian Poker Tour, Canadian Poker Player Magazine and the Canadian Poker Player Television Network today announced they have entered into an agreement with the World Poker Showdown (WPS) to expand their operations into the United States and abroad.

LAGUNA HILLS, Calif., May 27, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Everyone is invited to bring their families to the "OC Kids Day" at Crossline Church on Saturday, June 18th, 2011 for a FREE carnival catered to families with kids from toddlers to teens.

The weekend's best movie -- well, certainly the most interesting -- is "The Tree of Life," but you'll have to drive to New York to see it, since it doesn't come to Boston until next Friday. Still, how often do we get a new Terrence Malick film? Make the trip.

If Hollywood had its way, of course, everyone would go see "The Hangover Part II." And maybe everyone will, in the same way that everyone gets sunburned the first weekend of summer. The movie's pretty bad -- ugly and smug and predictable -- but it's pre-sold and it will make many millions. You do not have to participate to be a functioning member of the culture.

There's not much overlap on the Venn diagram between "Hangover II" and the other new sequel, "Kung Fu Panda 2". Janice Page's review nicely points out that, if you're an adopted kid, the scene at the end where Po's birth father vows to find his son will probably screw you up for life.

And there's a new Woody Allen movie in town. One of the good ones, too, although at this point in the director's career the phrase "good one" means "light, charming, not actively painful to the senses." "Midnight in Paris" is in fact quite lovely until you start thinking about it. So I would suggest you not think about it.

For the truly adventurous and/or heat-afflicted, there's a dandy weekend-long series devoted to the "Masterworks of Kaneto Shindo" at the Harvard Film Archive, so if you want to get your black-and-white Japanese anti-war art-horror freak on (that's a still from "Kuroneko" above), you know where to go.
