Movie Trailer Monday: 'The Time Traveler's Wife'


This trailer opens, forcing you to suspend a big-ass chunk of disbelief: That Eric Bana is a time-traveler who meets his soul mate, Rachel McAdams when she's a kid, then later as an adult. They fall in love, marry, have a kid, the whole shebang. Only problem is that Bana can't control where and when he disappears into the time-traveling ether. He floats off as he and his new bride are honeymooning; he misses holidays. Wifey, of course, gets understandably frustrated. This trailer is perfect because it leaves us asking, "how did this happen? How does it all end?!"


Release date: Aug. 14


Chance of box office success: Strong, I think. August tends to be the month of the unexpected sleeper hit (see: The Sixth Sense), and the chemistry between Bana and McAdams could sizzle the celluloid. The trailer certainly makes you want to fill in its plot holes -- how? Wha--? Whyeee?!


Should you see it?: Yes, as long as you bring a box of Kleenex.



Play-N-Skillz helped Kendra with her theme




It's the song for the 'Girls Next Door' star's new reality show on E! [Insert abnormally dorky woodpecker laugh.] Click on the jump for a press release about it. But I'm burying the lead here. They collaborated with Too Short on the song!


Oh, and since I'm all about the indirectly related items today, you should know that Lil' Wayne will perform live at Superpages.com Center on Sunday, August 23. Tickets go on sale Saturday, June 20 at 10 a.m. Maybe he'll bring with him a wad of cash for the Salinas bros?
