In the new Disney movie Enchanted, Patrick Dempsey (aka Dr. McDreamy) shows off some classy moves on the ballroom floor. When he's done, Amy Adams mentions that he had previously told her he can't dance. He corrects her, saying that he can dance, he just doesn't dance (normally, anyway). While watching the scene, I thought to myself: has Giselle (Adams' character's name) never seen Can't Buy Me Love? Of course Patrick Dempsey can dance. In fact, he's able to turn an African ritual into a hot new craze at his high school dance, as you can see in the video above. I wonder who is more embarrassed of that scene from twenty years ago, Disney or Dempsey.

Maybe it's because I'm not female, but I much prefer the Patrick Dempsey of old -- back when he was super dorky, but he could still get a girl by spending $1000 on her or, tables turned, pimping himself out to married women by way of a very special pizza delivery offer. Or, there's that time he accidentally got a female roommate thanks to a college housing error, and she ended up falling for him. But my favorite Dempsey movie is Coupe de Ville, in which he plays my younger brother, while I was played by Arye Gross and my older brother was played by Daniel Stern, as we drive to Florida in the titular old auto. Well, it seemed like that movie was about my brothers and me, anyway.

I'd just like to take a moment to say how wonderful it is to see Patrick Dempsey making a big-screen comeback. Adore the guy. Loverboy? Made me want to deliver pizzas for, like, ever. And don't even get me started on Can't Buy Me Love -- talk about a guilty pleasure times twelve. Yeah, you younger folks might know him as Dr. McDreamy, but he'll always be Ronald Miller in my book. Cinematical just received the exclusive poster for Made of Honor (click on the image for a larger version), starring Dempsey and Michelle Monaghan. The film seems a little like My Best Friend's Wedding, but flipped, as this time it revolves around a guy (Dempsey) who after finding out his best friend (Monaghan) plans to marry and live overseas, accepts an invitation to be her "maid" of honor in hopes he can stop the wedding and convince her to marry him instead. I'd wish him good luck, but he's McDreamy -- who wouldn't drop everything to marry the guy? Made of Honor will walk down the aisle this May.

Since his Academy Award-nominated turn as a racist cop in Crash, the ever-reliable Matt Dillon has starred as Charles Bukowski's alter-ego in the drama Factotum and played a hapless husband in the disappointing You, Me and Dupree. He also appeared recently in supporting roles in Kevin Bacon's drama Loverboy and opposite Lindsay Lohan in the family comedy Herbie: Fully Loaded. That selection of parts has been typical throughout Dillon's career, as he's moved easily between the independent and studio worlds and is equally at home in both comedies and dramas.

Now The Hollywood Reporter says that he's in final negotiations for two more roles, both crime-related. Dillon will play a detective who intercepts the plans of a group of bank robbers in Bone Deep. The article doesn't say whether Dillon is working for the police or on his own, only that the robbers are trying to pull off a $20 million heist. John Luessenhop is set to direct; he previously made the prison drama Lockdown. I'm hoping Bone Deep will give Dillon a chance to play a sleazy detective, possibly related to his sleazy high school teacher in Wild Things. Few people combine sleaze and charm like Dillon.

Armored features another gang of thieves, this time "armored car guards who plan to empty their truck of $10 million," according to THR. Hmm, does that mean they're more modest than the thieves in Bone Deep? Will the two gangs run into each other while they're trying to get away? No word on what part Dillon would play, but Columbus Short, who just turned down The Green Lantern, will co-star. Nimród Antal (the excellent Kontroll and the surprising Vacancy) will direct. Before those films come out, we can anticipate Dillon in Old Dogs, Nothing But the Truth and Cadillac Records.

Child actors are crowding the headlines these days. Some kids are in the news for controversy, some kids are in the news for big achievements, and then there's Dominic Scott Kay, who is somewhere in the middle of the good and the bad. Kay, who provided the voice of "Wilbur" in the recent Charlotte's Web, directed and starred in a short film called Saving Angelo back when he was only 9 years-old. Now, at 10, he's in a legal battle to regain creative control of the film and to get it shown.

The short, which also stars Kay's Loverboy co-star/director Kevin Bacon, is reportedly being held back by one of its producers, Conroy Kanter, who financed the $11,000 film. Kay claims that if it weren't for Kanter, Saving Angelo could have screened at Sundance this month, or even last year. It also missed out on being shown at the Los Angeles International Short Film Festival last September. Apparently the main issue with the control dispute stems from who should gain from the picture, and according to Kanter's lawyers it is actually Kay's greedy mother who is behind the lawsuit. Kanter's plan, supposedly, is to donate any profits to an animal rescue charity.

Considering it is a short film, which isn't likely to generate a substantial amount of money, I don't see the big deal. Put the thing on YouTube and call it a day. Or at least let it be finished and screened for the studios so that Kay can start a career directing features. I'm sure he'll have plenty of work in the next eight years, prior to reaching the age of independence, for everyone to milk. Just let the kid show his movie.

Who doesn't love Screen Media Films? Without them, we wouldn't be able to rent The Karate Dog, featuring the voice of Chevy Chase, or the spoof Disaster! The Movie, with the voices of all of Mötley Crüe. Okay, so they don't just distribute bad straight-to-video titles -- they also allow us to see the mediocre directorial offerings of Kevin Bacon and Chazz Palminteri. And they must be doing something right, because they have a great distribution deal with Universal Home Entertainment, and now they also have enough money to expand.

This week, at Sundance, Screen Media will debut its new theatrical division. The company has distributed films to theaters before, such as Bacon's Loverboy, but never on a big scale. Their first release will be Bickford Shmeckler's Cool Ideas, a comedy that Scott saw at SXSW last year (he called it "one of the more colorful surprises" of the fest). They apparently will also be distributing Weirdsville, which premieres next week at Slamdance.

Anyway, this is mostly important news for any filmmakers out there in Park City who can't seem to find a good deal. Look for the Screen Media reps. You could be in the same library as The 12 Dogs of Christmas! And if you think you're better than that, just remember the photo above, because surely Jon Voight once thought he was better too.

Not for nothing, but Patrick Dempsey has had one odd career and, funnily enough, his heartthrob status has officially come full circle. He began as a teenage heartthrob in films like Can't Buy Me Love and Loverboy. After a somewhat failed attempt at dramatic action in Run and Mobsters, Dempsey found himself lost in a series of random TV gigs -- all of which could be summed up by using the title of a 1997 TV show he starred in called Odd Jobs. However, a new decade brought forth a career revival for Dempsey, which began with a role in Scream 3 and continued with small stints on the shows Will & Grace and The Practice. Now, the ex-teenage heartthrob is thriving in the best role of his career -- Dr. Derek Shepherd (aka Dr. McDreamy) on Grey's Anatomy. Twenty years later, the heartthrob is back.

Now, a slew of new doors are opening for Dempsey -- he's currently starring opposite Hilary Swank in Freedom Writers, as well as alongside Amy Adams and Susan Sarandon in Enchanted. And, Variety tells us the dude has just landed the lead role in Columbia Pictures' Made of Honor, a romantic comedy that will find Dempsey playing a guy who's asked by his dream girl to be her maid of honor. In what sounds a little bit like My Best Friend's Wedding, Dempsey's character feels the only way to win her over is to accept the invitation to join her wedding. Personally, I've always been a big fan of Dempsey (I remember sneaking downstairs as a kid to watch Can't Buy Me Love, afraid my parents would be upset I was watching a flick that contained adult content), and wish him all the best.

Obsession. What does it mean, why does it happen and why can't we stop it? I never asked Burger King to invent chicken fries, but now that they're here, those delicious little fried pieces of heaven have destroyed my life. Now, every time I pass by a Burger King, I must stop in and grab an order of chicken fries. Even if I just had some the day before, I wonder, "What if there's a new dipping sauce and others have tasted it before me? What if this new dipping sauce is only out for one day? What if I miss this golden opportunity?"

I'm sure there are other chicken fry addicts out there who feel my pain. And, trust me, it's okay to come forward -- we need your support. However, the need to consume fast food constantly is only one type of obsession. We can obsess over people, places, events -- I know one person obsessed with a chair. Don't ask.

This week, we're taking a look at films that have themes of obsession running through their veins. Though I'm not sure whether or not we'll become obssessed with these films once we've watched them, I will admit that, after staring at those fries in the picture above, I'm suddenly craving, um, you know. Welcome to another fantastic edition of Trailer Park:
