“Readers beware, you’re in for a scare,” is a tagline that should be quite familiar to those readers that came of age in the ‘90s when author R.L. Stine’s massively successful “Goosebumps” series was all the rage. With literally hundreds of titles in the series, a popular television show which featured fresh young faces like actors Ryan Gosling and Hayden Christensen, “Goosebumps” was quite the lucrative property for Stine and Scholastic books alike.

While his production machine has continued to churn out comedies at a steady rate, it's been three years since Judd Apatow himself has been behind the camera with a feature film. 2009 saw the release of his dramedy "Funny People" which was, for the most part, warmly received but it's probably his sophomore feature "Knocked Up" which he is most renowned for. This year will see Apatow return with "This Is Forty," a thus far somewhat mystery spin-off from his 2007 film with the focus shifted towards the characters portrayed by Paul Rudd and Apatow's wife Leslie Mann.

$412.5 million. That's how much Lionsgate just paid to acquire Summit in a deal that closed this week. Summit have made a name for themselves thanks to the massive global box office of the "Twilight" series of the films, and other the years, stamped themselves as players thanks to small films that exceeded expectations: "Knowing," "50/50," "Red," "Source Code," "Letters To Juliet" and Best Picture winner "The Hurt Locker" (which won Oscar despite a terrible reception at the box office). But let's be honest, Lionsgate didn't buy Summit for those. They want the bloodsuckers and werewolves.

Is Quentin Tarantino turning into a crank? Or Armond White? The director has dropped his best of list for 2011, and let's just put it this way: Paul W.S. Anderson's ridiculous and dumb "The Three Musketeers" made the top 11, while movies like "Drive," "Rampart" and "Meek's Cutoff" didn't. In fact, the latter two made his Worst Movies list.

Another week into 2012, another cavalcade of posters hitting the web for a handful of new releases. First up is a new poster for Jonah Hill's '80s cop reboot, "21 Jump Street." The film isn't out until March but word out of a test screening last week was very strong, indicating that this is a rare spring release worth actually looking forward to. Riding the success of his understated turn in "Moneyball," the film finds Hill back in familiar, R-rated comedy territory, hitting theaters on March 16th. [Facebook]

Many were surprised when Spain selected the then-unheard of Catalan language film "Black Bread," over Pedro Almodóvar's insane thriller "The Skin I Live In," as their entry for this year's Oscars. But the film was a big critical success in its native land, winning 9 Goya Awards and sweeping the major categories, including Best Film (the first Catalan-language film to do so), Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actress and Best Director for Agustí Villaronga.
