But recently We're The Millers started to break the actress's streak of misery, and the trailer for her latest film, Life Of Crime, seems to continue the trend upward. Thanks to Yahoo, we have our first look at the 1970's period comedy,...

Beyond the presence of brilliant directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller, 22 Jump Street is one of our most anticipated films of the summer because of the return of Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum's chemistry. In 2012 they proved to be an absolutely fantastic comedic pair in 21 Jump Street, and all of the trailers, TV spots and footage we've seen from the sequel makes it seem they will be back on top of...
