Wrong has been available for viewing through Video on Demand since February 1, but its official release is set for next Friday (you can see the list of theaters here), and we’re pleased to bring you some exclusive stills from the independent film, written and directed by Quentin Dupieux (Rubber). I’ve also included the trailer, but I won’t even pretend for a second like I have a solid grasp of what this movie is actually about – probably because I watched the international trailer first – so here’s the official synopsis:

Dolph Springer (Reno 911′s Jack Plotnick) awakens one morning to find he has lost the sole love of his life – his dog, Paul. Desperate to reunite with his best friend and to set things right, Dolph embarks on a journey which spirals into the realm of the absurd. On his quest, he drastically alters the lives of several severely bizarro characters, including a promiscuous pizza delivery girl (Entourage’s Alexis Dziena), a mentally unstable, jogging-addicted neighbor, an opportunistic French-Mexican gardener, an eccentric pet detective (Steve Little of HBO’s Eastbound And Down) and most mysterious of all, an enigmatic pony-tailed guru, Master Chang (William Fichtner) who imparts his teachings to Dolph on how to metaphysically reconnect with his pet.

Yeah, what that said. The 2012 official Sundance selection may seem a bit out there, but any story about a man and his dog is good in our books. Especially if it includes a guy telepathically connecting to a piece of dog poop.

This week, I was planning to lead with Guy Pearce’s new Iron Man 3 poster, where he’s dramatically pulling off his sunglasses like David Caruso in CSI Miami. I like to lead with a movie people have heard of so they’ll click through, and that seemed like the obvious choice. But then I saw White T here, and it simply could not be denied. Just look at this goddamned masterpiece. Do I know what it’s about? Not really. But I know it’s got Weensie from Old School and his similarly portly brother dressed in matching, sockless plaid shants ensembles fighting over a t-shirt with the tagline “Big Dreams…Big Seams.” What does this white t represent? Why would they be fighting over the same white t when they’re both already wearing identical white tees? Is it a battle over who gets a change of clothes? A metaphorical struggle for identity? I can’t say. Point being, this poster is practically bloated with ambiguity, which doesn’t soften my desire to see it one bit. This, my friend, is how you sell the sizzle, not the steak.

If you like giant robots punching each other, and that describes me as well as anything, then it looks like you’re going to love Guillermo Del Toro’s Pacific Rim. It appears to have all the giant robot action of Transformers, with the added benefit of the story not centering around the most obnoxious family on Earth. USA Today just posted eight new stills, and AICN broke the news that the film had a special screening last night in Burbank. Hollywood is nothing if not a town built on ass kissing, and people who would skip the Super Bowl for an advanced screening are probably the type who might geek out over a movie more than others, but word seems to be positive. Though that word is mostly being collated by the studio itself, of course. At the very least, Looper director Rian Johnson liked it.

Go into Pacific Rim prepared to be transmogrified into a 12 year old. And then to pee your pants with joy. I love it so much.

Ooh, ‘transmogrified,’ well la di da, Professor Wordlington. Anyway, my big takeaway here is that there are some robot jox who fight Godzilla, and one of the robots looks like the Black Knight from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Here’s to hoping that at some point he falls to the ground complaining of a flesh wound with a stump limb the size of the Chrysler building. My God, did I just type all of that? I get nerdier just being near this movie, like nerd osmosis.

“Sweet neck tat, bro.” – Arnold’s bros

Once Arnold Schwarzenegger was finished serving housekeepers and the state of California, he promised to get back into the action movie game, despite being 65 years old and saggier than a bag of jelly. But hey, at least he’s not making sex tapes. He is, however, making the new film Ten, which was originally titled Breacher because his character’s name is Breacher, and that’s the kind of corny Arnold movie shtick that we’ve been missing for years.

So what’s Ten all about anyway?

Members of an elite DEA task force find themselves being taken down one by one after they rob a drug cartel safe house.

Sounds pretty good. Anybody else that we like in it? Malin Åkerman, Sam Worthington, Joe Manganiello… Terrence Howard. Instant classic, folks. And they’re all apparently besties, because they’ve been spotted dining together, too.

A team from the movie, including director David Ayer and actors Sam Worthington, Terrance Howard, Josh Holloway, Joe Manganiello, Olivia Williams, Mirelle Enos and Max Martini, dined at Del Frisco’s Grille the other night. That’s the new restaurant that recently opened in the former Craft location in Buckhead.

The former Governator was spotted Sunday at STK, Midtown’s swank and celeb-friendly steak restaurant. (Via the AJC Buzz)

Actually, that makes it seem like Arnold was too good to eat with his castmates, but it’s probably just because he can’t understand a word that Howard says. It’s okay, Arnold. None of us can.

After the jump, check out the rest of Arnold’s sweet gear.

Despite the fact that the last Scary Movie film was released in 2006, the Weinstein Company and Dimension figured that if people were empty-headed enough to spend $90 million on it then, there’s no reason they won’t spend as much or more for Scary Movie 5. As we know, the fifth installment of this exhausted franchise is striking while the iron is unplugged by casting Lindsay Lohan to play Charlie Sheen’s love interest. It’s funny, because people hate Lohan and Sheen will have sex with literally anything.

This week, Dimension released a new still from Scary Movie 5, and it tells us everything we already know about how little this franchise respects parody and how much it relies on “Hey, remember that person we all hate?” pop culture references that are funny to very few people. But again, this is the franchise that gave us Aaron Seltzer and Jason Friedberg, so we shouldn’t really be expecting Top Secret or The Kentucky Fried Movie. Hell, I’d settle for Hot Shots Part Deux.
