THE BUZZ: The formula didn't work for The Brothers Solomon last fall, but Will Arnett + Will Forte ≠ John C. Reilly and the is-he-or-is-he-not-still-popular Will Ferrell, who wrote this screenplay with director Adam McKay (he of Anchorman and Talladega Nights fame). The red band trailer proves this will be much better than Semi-Pro and Walk Hard, and while this movie marks the end of Ferrell and McKay's three-picture deal with Sony, we all know that Anchorman 2 will be made at the studio. But there's still a chance that Ferrell could go down with this one, just like fellow "SNL"ers Eddie Murphy and Mike Myers experienced with their most recent projects.

Brideshead Revisited [limited]

Director: Julian Jarrold
Stars: Matthew Goode, Patrick Malahide, Hayley Atwell (Full Cast)
Studio: Miramax Films

The Plot: Charles Ryder (Goode), an officer in the British Army during WWII, looks back on his pre-war dalliances with his Oxford schoolmate, Sebastian Flyte (Whishaw), and his equally beguiling sister, Julia (Atwell), at their family's lavish estate.

THE BUZZ: A one-two knockout punch in the form of writers Jeremy Brock (The Last King of Scotland) and Andrew Davies (Bridget Jones's Diary) should help director Julian Jerrold's follow up to Becoming Jane become an actual-real hit and not merely a forgettable exercise in period filmmaking. Look for rising star Matthew Goode to tap into his Match Point experience for this update of Evelyn Waugh's scandalous drama -- a sureshot moneymaker and shoe-in for a lavish award campaign later on this year from Miramax, a studio which has recovered beautifully from the post-Weinstein era. Basking in the critical- and popular-acclaim glow alongside Goode will be his charming co-stars, Ben Whishaw, who captivated European audiences in Perfume: The Story of a Murderer's lead role, and Hayley Atwell, who will try and out pout Keira Knightley in The Duchess later this year. How odd to realize this picture was almost made with Paul Bettany, Jennifer Connelly and Jude Law in the lead roles ...

The X Files: I Want to Believe

Director: Chris Carter
Stars: David Duchovny, Gillian Anderson, Billy Connolly (Full Cast)
Studio: Twentieth Century-Fox Film Corporation

The Plot: The case of a missing FBI agent causes Fox Mulder (Ducovny) and Dana Scully (Anderson) to assume their former roles and try to solve the mystery. Assisting them on the case is a troubled priest (Connolly) whose psychic visions lead them to their first clue, as well as a pair of seasoned agents (Amanda Peet and Alvin "Xzibit" Joiner).

THE BUZZ: With two trailers, a few TV spots, a handful of reactivated fans sites, and kisses all over from The NY Times, it's rather amazing that so little has been revealed at X-F 2's storyline. We all know by now about the movie's standalone nature, and that it's an experiment to see if a one-off model could be used for additional films down the road. With just a handful of days left before we unearth the mysteries of I Want to Believe (during Comic-Con no less!), let's take a moment to celebrate the ever-patient and always-mysterious Chris Carter, who has created hype (like that werewolf sighting during the first days of shooting) and deflected rumors for what seems like the better part of the current decade in order to bring all the essential X elements together: the suddenly busy Scully; the I-hate-Vancouver Mulder (note: both Scully and Mulder have said they'd return for more movies); and a shooting script that was kept locked away and under surveillance for the duration of the production. Maybe Chris Carter could teach Steven Spielberg a thing or two about security.

THE BUZZ: The Weinstein Co. underpromotes yet another imported film -- this time, it's a BAFTA-winning drama from Intermission director John Crowley. But after reading reviews such as this, maybe the naughty boy should be punished and sent to the land of DVD.

American Teen [limited]

Director: Nanette Burstein
Stars: Hannah Bailey, Jake Tusing, Megan Krizmanich (Full Cast)
Studio:

The Plot: A documentary that chronicles ten months in the lives of five high-school seniors in Warsaw, Indiana.

THE BUZZ: The documentary is staging a big-screen comeback this summer, and I think the latest project from Oscar-nominated filmmaker Nanette Burstein (On the Ropes, The Kid Stays in the Picture) is the strongest offering in a year that has seen rocking senior citizens, Ben Stein's intelligent design, and even Bono all fail to succeed. Did you know this was Juno director Jason Reitman's favorite Sundance movie? It was at that festival that nearly review balding, approaching middle age Internet writer fell deep in love with Hannah Bailey, the one who says "left boob" in AT's trailer.

Director: James Marsh
Stars: (Full Cast)

THE BUZZ: Wisconsin Death Trip director James Marsh returns to documentary form with this highly regarded look back at 70s-era New York City and the stunt that reduces people to tears over thirty years later. In a year of attention-grabbing docs, MoW has already been called the most arresting true story of the year (by one of our own). After watching the trailer, click here for expansion dates.
