Hook Ups Bradley Cooper: The Crow and Jennifer Aniston THR is reporting that Bradley Cooper is currently negotiating to star in a remake of The Crow.

Movie Reviews and Previews Superhero Supernova Written by Sarah It’s an apocalypse of superheroes: four movies in less than three months and more on the way.

Movie Reviews and Previews The Hangover 2 Trailer Here’s what I like about it: I like opening with Kanye West. I like looking at Bradley Cooper all sweaty, with shades on, and an open neck shirt, walking in slow motion in front of two other guys. I also like some of Ed Helms’s reactions.
