Here are your weekend links.

The interesting visuals are minimal in The Tempest so the film relies mostly on the text. The story of an island hermit’s manipulative games with some shipwreck survivors isn’t quite as deep as star crossed lovers or political treachery.

We don’t always agree on the happenings in the entertainment industry and we like to make our beefs public. David Keith and Keith David are both terrific actors, but two men sharing the same name (only reversed) can’t be equals. Fight!

Marvel has dropped the new trailer for Thor after debuting the Spawn-esque poster earlier today. It stars Chris Hemsworth as the superhero whose weapon of choice is a heavy-ass hammer. Anthony Hopkins plays Odin/Steam Punk Santa.

CNN has suddenly become awesome. Due to all the controversy and criticism they draw because of their lazy hiring practices, they knew they needed to switch things up fast.

Some dudes recreated the opening title sequence to the “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” animated show. Ladies, don’t get too excited by the manliness displayed.

Chris Hemsworth dresses up like Spawn for the Thor poster.

As the young female lead in a popular fantasy film series, Anna Popplewell automatically falls under the “insanely popular among middle-schoolers” category. That doesn’t mean this Chronicles of Narnia star lacks broader appeal, though.

Technically this is a spoiler alert, but if you see any photos or trailers of Jeff Bridges as the new Rooster Cogburn, you’ve probably figured it out.

One of those movies where you know exactly what you’re going to get, but if you’re looking for that sort of thing it’s exactly what you want.

Neill Blomkamp’s Elysium is picking up serious steam. He shopped his second sci-fi film around Hollywood earlier this week, and now it looks like he’s found his leading man in the form of Matt Damon.

Normally we don’t cover gossipy stuff, but I couldn’t resist posting Miley Cyrus doing bong rips and getting eeeeeeeeeff’d up.

Sure, all these movies are the same. The kids have to find some magical artifacts so they can stop an evil force from wreaking havoc on the land. What makes Dawn Treader fun are the individual magical encounters. The sum of the parts adds up to more than the whole.

See Depp wobble! See Depp dragged! See Depp push! See Depp peek! These new high quality production stills from Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides show Johnny Depp in a variety of poses.

They’re going to love Taylor Lautner in prison. He’s just been sentenced to star in Incarceron. The dumbly-titled film centers around a young man who has spent his entire life in a savage prison society who falls in love with the warden’s daughter.

Taylor Lautner look-alike and ABC Family regular Chris Zylka has signed up to shove around Peter Parker.

This is Brand’s second high-profile remake, with Arthur set to hit theaters next year. This gives me hope for a remake of “The Young Ones” with Brand playing the role of Rick Pratt.

Today we have some set photos from Spider-Man and X-Men: First Class. And we didn’t even have to visit any sets to get them. Man, we’re never going to get enough SkyMiles for that snazzy tote we’ve had our eye on.

Somehow makes it a little more jolly.

Slap on your brain condoms, because you’re about to get mind-f**ked with knowledge about acting great Dabney Coleman.

Just who will Amy Adams be fighting in The Fighter? No one, because girl boxing is lame.

If you haven’t yet had your fill of robots kicking each other’s asses in movies then this Real Steel trailer is going to make you go cuckoo bananas.

Peter Jackson already nabbed Cate Blanchett to reprise her role as Galadriel in The Hobbit, and now he’s about to land himself another pretty little elf. Orlando Bloom is in talks to return as the wispy-haired archer Legolas.

In this faux pharmaceutical commercial, Bradley Cooper sells the life-changing drug NZT. The pill makes you sharper, stronger, faster, and smarter and Bradley Cooperier than you ever thought possible.

And the winner is…

To celebrate the release of “24″ Season 8 on Blu-ray and DVD on December 14th, we’re giving away three DVD copies! I dare you to watch the entire season in one sitting.

Gary Marshall is throwing a bone to the beleaguered boyfriends who will be dragged to see New Year’s Eve. Jessica Biel and Sofia Vergara have joined the ensemble cast.

What does the man who has everything desire most? Himself, apparently. Does this count as art?
