What are you watching tonight to distract yourself?

Yup. A trailer for Katherine Heigl’s new romantic comedy, The Ugly Truth, has been released. If you couldn’t guess it, Heigl portrays a romantically challenged woman who is looking for Mr. Right. This time, Mr. Right is being played by Gerard Butler, who made the ladies swoon from the afterlife in P.S. I Love You. The film co-stars Cheryl Hines, Bonnie Somerville, Bree Turner, and Eric Winter, and was helmed by Robert Luketic (21, Legally Blonde).

What do you think, should Heigl continue making predictable romantic comedies or surprise us with something new?

It might be a bit premature to say this, but could Guy Ritchie be back? The trailer for his new film, “RockNRolla”, has a vibe and style that reminds me of “Snatch”, and an excellent cast (featuring Gerard Butler, Tom Wilkinson, and Jeremy Piven). I hope the film is as good as the trailer (you can watch it below) and that we are not left with another “Swept Away” or “Revolver”.  You can also check out the film’s awesome poster here.
