Moviefone's Spring Break Swimsuit Spectacular!

Filed under: Fandom », Lists »

If you're old and boring like me, chances are you're not heading out to some paradise for Spring Break this year. It's cool, though, because Moviefone has got you covered. They've had the unfortunate job of combing through thousands of photos, searching for the top shots of our favorite female AND male movie characters wearing their most beloved, adorable swimwear.

On the girls side, we have one of the more geek-famous shots of Princess Leia rockin' her slave bikini. (A personal favorite, if I may say so myself.) There's Halle Berry, Jessica Alba, Elizabeth Hurley, Ursula Andress -- trust me, you'll want to check out this gallery. The men also get their time in the spotlight (though none of them beat my rock-solid abs). Let's see, we have dudes like Matthew McConaughey (who takes his shirt off in every film just so he can wind up on a list like this later in the year), Jesse Bradford, Sean Connery and, of course, Daniel Craig. You be the judge of which Bond looks better in a bathing suit.

Head over here to check out the ladies, and over here to check out the guys. And make sure you vote for your favorites at the end.

Spring Break for Posey and Poehler

Filed under: Comedy », Casting », Warner Brothers », Newsstand »

Hands up, who doesn't know that any movie about spring break exists entirely as an excuse to get nubile young women and hot frat boys to take off their clothes? Yeah, that's what I thought. But we can see that crap on MTV, pretty much 24-7. Plus, there's always Girls Gone Wild, right? So why the hell do people keep making spring break movies? Does anyone even go see them? Regarding the latter question, at least, Warner Brothers is fervently hoping the answer is a resounding yes: They're producing Spring Breakdown, another dumb-sounding spring break movie with a cast that just might be its saving grace.

Starring indie darling (and proud star of Blade: Trinity) Parker Posey, the incredibly funny Amy Poehler and someone named Rachel Dratch (according to the IMDb, she's been on SNL since 1999, and is in A.S.S.S.S.C.A.T. with Poehler), the movie has a plot that any of us could accurately guess, based only on those names. Yep, it's about some thirtysomething women who try to shake things up by going on vacation to a spring break hot-spot. Say it with me now: Yawn. The thing is, though, that at least Posey and Poehler could be hilarious in a movie like this, if they're allowed to show that they're in on the joke -- if the script lets them mock the pathetic absurdity of the whole venture, it actually could be pretty good. If not? Parker Posey, you are dead to me.

The movie starts shooting in the spring break haven of LA later this summer.
