Columbia Pictures has released the first trailer for director Dennis Dugan’s comedy sequel Grown Ups 2.  I hate myself for saying this, but I actually got a few chuckles out of the trailer.  After you get past the deer piss, there are a couple of ridiculous cameos from Shaquille O’Neal and Andy Samberg that are nice throwbacks to the zany Adam Sandler movies of old.  There’s also a nice flip on the “hot girl car trouble” scene from the first film.  And believe it or not, this might be a role that Lautner was Taylor-made for (sorry).

Hit the jump to watch the trailer.  The film stars also Kevin James, Chris Rock, David Spade, Salma Hayek, Maria Bello, Maya Rudolph, Nick Swardson and Patrick Schwarzenegger.  Grown Ups 2 opens on July 12th.

While the 85th Academy Awards will honor the very best of what 2012 had to offer in film tonight, the opposite end of the spectrum (supposedly) has been singled out this morning.  The Razzie Awards named The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2 the Worst Picture of 2012, handing the film a total of seven awards including Worst Director for Bill Condon, Worst Screen Couple for Taylor Lautner and Mackenzie Foy, and Worst Actress for Kristen Stewart (she shared this award with her work in Snow White and the Huntsman).  Though I’m not the biggest fan of the franchise, if you think Breaking Dawn – Part 2 was the worst film of 2012 then you need to see more movies; the pic almost kind of works because of Condon’s direction, not in spite of it, and the final battle scene is legitimately entertaining.

Elsewhere at the Razzies, Adam Sandler was named Worst Actor for That’s My Boy and Rihanna “won” Worst Supporting Actress for Battleship.  Hit the jump to see the full list of winners.

It looks like Twilight fans will be in for a pricey treat at the beginning of March.  Hot on the heels of the announcement that an extended edition of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1 will be released on Blu-ray and DVD on March 2nd comes the news that the home video release of Breaking Dawn – Part 2 will also take place on the same day.  Part 2 will be available on Blu-ray, DVD, VOD and digital download on March 2nd, and the disc comes complete with a seven-part “making of” documentary called “Forever: Filming Breaking Dawn Part 2,” a featurette documenting the back-to-back production of Part 1 and Part 2 called “Two Movies at Once,” and audio commentary from director Bill Condon.  We can also safely assume that an extended edition of Part 2 will be released at a later date, so start saving up, Twihards.

As we await the 85th Academy Award nominations announcement on Thursday morning, we now have a look at the opposite end of the 2012 film spectrum.  The 33rd Golden Raspberry Award nominations have been announced, celebrating the very worst of what 2012′s movie slate had to offer.  Leading the pack is The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2 with 10 nominations, as the film landed a nomination in every single category.  The Twilight closer will go head-to-head with Battleship, A Thousand Words, That’s My Boy, and The Oogieloves in Big Balloon Adventure for the Worst Picture title.

It’s easy to beat up on the Twilight franchise, and even though I wouldn’t go so far as to call Breaking Dawn – Part 2 a good movie, it’s in no way the worst movie of the year.  The sheer amount of beheadings alone in director Bill Condon’s climactic fight sequence is enough to make the movie worth watching.  Anyway, hit the jump to check out the full list of Razzie Awards nominations.

It would be a gross understatement to say I haven’t been an ardent supporter of the Twilight franchise.  But I have tried to take each film on its own merits.  Nothing can change the fact that it has a despicable core message of how young women should relate to men, but there was always the potential for change.  Bella Swan could become a proactive character.  Edward Cullen and Jacob Black could be more than just brooding, softly smiling eye candy.  Somewhere, in the dreamy clouds of wish fulfillment, there may be something real instead of the silliest, most forced conflicts.  At the series’ conclusion, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2 shows us what the Twilight movies could be at their best, but ultimately reminds us about the true nature of this series.

Since the release of the first film, the Twilight phenomenon has just continued to grow exponentially. With the highly anticipated final installment, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2, hitting theaters on November 16^th, fans will finally get to see the conclusion of the romantic epic that has entranced millions worldwide.

At the film’s L.A. press junket, actor Taylor Lautner talked about soaking up every moment on set, finding the fine line between Jacob caring for Renesmee (Mackenzie Foy) without it being to creepy, his first impressions of co-stars Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson, what he learned about both acting and himself from playing Jacob Black, how awkward it was to shoot the scene where Jacob strips and wolfs out in front of Charlie (Billy Burke), what exactly happened to that horrible Jacob wig after the first film, having Bella kick Jacob’s butt, the weirdest thing that’s happened with a fan, and where he’d like to take his career next.

If you can’t wait a whole two weeks for The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2 to come to theaters, we’ve got six clips from the film that should tide you over well enough.  Steve attending the Twilight press conference earlier today, so look for more Bella and Edward goodness on Collider later today.

The big Twilight press conference took place earlier today in anticipation of the release of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2, and we’ve got over five minutes of behind-the-scenes footage from the film to share with fans eager to get a look at the last installment of the franchise.  Steve was at the press conference this morning, so be sure to check back on Collider later today for video of the press conferences with Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, and Taylor Lautner.

A new clip from The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2.  We recently saw a clip from the film in which Kristen Stewart’s Bella was having fun with her new vampire powers, but this clip focuses on the character re-learning how to act human.  Apparently it’s hard for vampires to control how awesome they are, so Bella has to consciously learn how to fake human things like blinking, slouching, and breathing.  What a drag!

Hit the jump to watch the clip.  Directed by Bill Condon, the film also stars Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner, Mackenzie Foy, Peter Facinelli, Ashley Greene, Elizabeth Reaser and Jackson Rathbone.  The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2 opens November 16th.

A new featurette and TV spot for the concluding chapter in the Twilight franchise, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2, have been released.  The TV spot doesn’t look like it includes any new footage, but the featurette provides a pretty cool look at the film’s big action effects and stunt work.  A good deal of the featurette is also devoted to the cast trying to explain the ridiculous plot, which involves a governing group of vampires getting angry with Kristen Stewart’s Bella and Robert Pattinson’s Edward because they did the nasty and made a baby.

Hit the jump to check out the featurette and TV spot.  Directed by Bill Condon, the film also stars Taylor Lautner, Mackenzie Foy, Peter Facinelli, Ashley Greene, Elizabeth Reaser, Kellan Lutz and Jackson Rathbone.  The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2 opens November 16th.

The end is nigh.  The final poster for the franchise-closing The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2 has been unveiled.  The one-sheet features stars Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, and Taylor Lautner running into some action, but just because they’re partaking in physical activity doesn’t mean they’ve forgotten to make their super serious faces.  The film’s “forever” tagline is also present, as the poster threatens promises an “epic finale that will live forever.”

While the trailer we brought you last night for The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2 was all well and good, tonight we have the full final trailer for the epic conclusion to The Twilight Saga.  While this version features the exact same amount of cougar tackling as the last one, fans will also be happy to see about forty-five seconds of new footage.  The final trailer reveals more of the world’s vampires outside of Forks, the powers they possess and the punishment that awaits Bella and her coven should they fail.

A new trailer for the final entry in the Twilight franchise, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2, has been released.  If you’ve been waiting patiently to see Kristen Stewart viciously tackle a mountain lion, your moment has come.  This trailer focuses on Stewart’s newfound vampire powers and sets up the major conflict in the film: the vampire government (cult?) the Volturi is angry because they think Bella and Edward created a vampire baby by biting a child, which is apparently frowned upon in the Twilight universe.  As we all know, Renesmee is the fruit of some good old fashioned baby-makin’, but I guess instead of trying to sort out this misunderstanding, the two factions of vampires—and Jacob—decide it’s better to go to war.  The drama and action levels look to have been upped considerably for this finale, and fans of the book series will likely be pleased with the results.

Four new images from The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2 have gone online.  Like the majority of images we’ve seen from the upcoming film, these show Bella and her new family being happy as can be.  At worst, the characters are looking at something disconcerting.  Based on the images alone, it looks like the movie is shaping up to be an L.L. Bean catalog where strange things are happening off camera.

While fans are currently anticipating the release of the final installment of the Twilight franchise in just a few short months (as well as the accompanying, sure-to-be-interesting press tour for the film), a number of new promo images from The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2 have landed online to tide them over.  Not unlike this gallery featuring the covens, there are 11 images in all here showcasing the film’s major characters and a massive amount of brooding.  Seriously, this cast has that “smoldering” thing down pat.
