As Christmas Day rapidly approaches, the studios race to make high-profile titles available for consumers so, if nothing else, they have some stuff to watch while all of the stores are closed. But this week offers a selection of titles which, unfortunately, aren’t altogether great gift ideas, if only because watching most of them once is one time too many, and owning them seems absolutely silly.

Nevertheless, we’ve assembled the cream of the crop, looking not only at Tuesday’s list of titles, but the films that distributors will release on Friday, in anticipation for a last-minute push from folks as irresponsible as, well, yours truly when it comes to holiday gifts.

Killer Joe (Lionsgate)

The One-Liner: Matthew McConaughey blows away his co-stars – in some cases literally – in this pitch-black tale of white-trash deceit, directed by The French Connection filmmaker William Friedkin.

Picture Perfect? A terrific transfer sufficiently preserves Friedkin’s filthily saturated images, perfectly creating a cohesive universe for his characters to unleash their worst impulses.

What Else Is There? A commentary track by Friedkin offers numerous insights into the creation of the film, while a collection of featurettes from the film’s screening at South By Southwest offers viewers comments from the cast and crew.

How Badly Do I Want It? “Enjoyment” of the film comes down to how much you are into watching bad people do terrible things to one another, but in a year when McConaughey seemingly couldn’t be stopped, this is one of his most remarkable performances.

Pitch Perfect (Universal Studios Home Entertainment)

The One-Liner: A seemingly featherweight musical movie starring powerhouse actress Anna Kendrick, this odd little movie chugged along when it was in theaters months ago, and comes home for folks to learn its songs and share in some big-screen Glee-style fun.

Picture Perfect? As always, Universal does a wonderful job of bringing the film’s big-screen presentation home, offering colorful, vivid imagery that perfectly suits its semi-music-video aesthetic.

What Else Is There? Two audio commentaries, deleted scenes, and the infamous line-o-rama expand this disc’s content significantly, offering what probably amounts to more than enough for a film that’s fun, but hardly demanding of substantial exploration.

How Badly Do I Want It? This is a film you might want to watch multiple times, and the Blu-ray offers a good value for your dollar with lots to view even after finishing the film.

Red Hook Summer (Image Entertainment)

The One-Liner: Spike Lee makes a remarkable return to form with this searing, intimate tale of a young man’s relationship with his uncle during a hot summer in New York.

Picture Perfect? Lee’s always been a terrific visual stylist, and the film is no different – and the Blu-ray does a great job preserving the saturated but naturalistic approach the filmmaker takes with the material.

What Else Is There? An audio commentary gives Lee a platform to discuss the film’s unique choices, in particular its unexpected third act, while a featurette offers some extra insights into the film’s creation.

How Badly Do I Want It? Lee’s been unfortunately uneven as a filmmaker in the last several years, but it’s a must-see if you’re a fan of his, so definitely make sure you rent it.

Total Recall (Sony Pictures Home Entertainment)

The One-Liner: Len Wiseman’s remake of the Paul Verhoeven original is decidedly a lackluster follow-up, but as featherweight summer entertainment is concerned, the film is mostly harmless fun.

Picture Perfect? SPHE’s transfer does an amazing job of maintaining vivid, clear image quality, ensuring a great viewing experience even on the small screen.

What Else Is There? A commentary track by Wiseman dives into his ideas for fleshing out the remake, but a series of featurettes and interviews examines the technical and artistic challenges the filmmakers faced as they tried to turn Verhoven’s film into another futuristic adventure.

How Badly Do I Want It? Not necessarily a movie you would want to own or rewatch, but as a rental the bonus content will keep you busy for several days.

Trouble With the Curve (Warner Home Video)

The One-Liner: Clint Eastwood’s first starring role in decades in a film which he didn’t direct feels just as much like an Eastwood film as ever, while Amy Adams and Justin Timberlake act adorable as Eastwood’s daughter and the baseball scout who wins her heart.

Picture Perfect? Warner Home Video does a predictably good job creating a solid, bright HD transfer that ensures that Eastwood, Adams and Timberlake look beautiful on the small screen.

What Else Is There? Only two short featurettes, which is fine since the film doesn’t really demand much more.

How Badly Do I Want It? A hopelessly generic film at absolute best, Trouble With the Curve is worth a rental if you really like the folks in it, but otherwise it’s hardly engaging enough to hold your attention.

Watch the trailer for Total Recall below, and let us know which of these films you’ve seen — or want to — in the comments section!

Movember may be winding down, but don’t expect the moustache craze to end anytime soon: a slew of Hollywood’s leading men, from doting dads Ben Affleck and Brad Pitt to eligible bachelors Ryan Gosling and Colin Farrell, have all sprouted staches.

And they’re not just doing it for Movember, aka the month of November when many guys grow moustaches to raise awareness and funds for men’s health issues such as prostate and testicular cancer.

Not that it isn’t an excellent idea — the men who purposely sport staches in Movember (or Mo Bros, as they’re commonly called) solicit donations from sponsors during the “growing” process. Movember, in combination with the Prostate Cancer Foundation and LIVESTRONG, then uses the funds to support awareness and education, survivorship and research.

In honor of Movember, Celebuzz has compiled a gallery of male celebrities with the sexiest staches. Take a peek at the hottest celeb mustaches in the gallery above and let us know your favorite mustache man by leaving a comment below

Also watch The Daily Buzz video above to find out what CEO and co-founder of Movember, Adam Garone has to say about the campaign and celebrity involvement.

Martin McDonagh has ‘it.’

After an award-winning career writing for the stage, his first movie, In Bruge, won a Golden Globe for Colin Farrell and earned McDonagh an Oscar nod for Best Original Screenplay.

With his latest movie, Seven Psychopaths, McDonagh actually tops In Bruges – no easy feat considering that it’s predecessor is also one of 2008’s most highly acclaimed films.

Working in the same Grand Guignol style that has come to characterize plays like A Behanding in Spokane and The Lieutenant of Inishmore, McDonagh conjures a broad and witty comedy that turns in on itself as a meta-commentary on hip gangster movies.

What’s ‘Seven Psychopaths’ about?

Wannabe screenwriter Ray, (Colin Farrell) tells his unhinged friend Billy (Sam Rockwell) he doesn’t want to write “just another movie about guys with guns in their hands.” He wants his movie to be much more. Exactly what, however, he hasn’t a clue. What he does have is a title: Seven Psychopaths.

Intent on collaborating with Ray, Billy takes out an ad in the newspaper seeking psychopaths who are willing to share their stories.

Harry Dean Stanton is the Quaker psychopath, not to be outdone by a Buddhist Vietnamese psychopath played by Long Nguyen.

Tom Waits, stroking a pet bunny, plays a psychopathic hunter of psychopaths, while Woody Harrelson is Charlie the gangster, a psychopath obsessed with his little dog Bonny, (not a psychopath), a Shih-Tzu.

Bonny has been abducted by Hans (Christopher Walken) a psychopath at the end of his rope who runs a small-time operation kidnapping house pets and returning them for reward money.

Charlie would rather see his beautiful girlfriend dead than lose his beloved dog Bonny, and he is about to move Heaven and Earth to save her.

While it may sound confusing and maybe too smart for its own good, Seven Psychopathsunspools with clever ease and buffoonish charm. It is effortlessly brilliant and always accessible but more important, it slavishly satisfies the first rule of comedy – make ‘em laugh.

Energy accumulated in the movie’s first hour is slightly dissipated when Ray, Billy and Hans reach the desert for the final showdown and McDonagh’s screenplay spins its wheels. But the jokes keep coming, as lively and unexpected as the many plot twists and convolutions that make Seven Psychopaths so distinctive.

McDonagh is a deft director of actors, starting with Farrell as Ray, the alcoholic writer wannabe. For once, Farrell embodies the most normal character in the bunch. He underplays opposite a manic Rockwell, but still generates plenty of laughs as he wrestles with his demons and the real-life crazies popping up all around him.

Walken and Rockwell costarred in the Broadway production of McDonagh’s A Behanding in Spokane, and together they bring to the screen a well-honed anarchic energy. Despite their impeccable work over the years, both actors deliver performances that stand among their best.

Walken has carved an indelible niche for himself playing creepy characters in dozens of movies going back to an early cameo as Annie Hall’s suicidal brother, Duane.

In Seven Psychopaths he is strange, unbalanced and again suicidal after the loss of his wife. His performance is energized partly by the fact that it’s Walken playing Walken in the same way Seven Psychopaths is a hip gangster movie about hip gangster movies.

The old adage says, “Comedy is hard, dying is easy.” Comedies, especially ones like Seven Psychopaths, are seldom mentioned at Oscar time and almost never win. Despite how difficult they are to make, good comedies look easy, which makes them easier to dismiss. If you’re smart you won’t dismiss Seven Psychopaths. Clever, original and unpredictable, it is one of the year’s funniest movies.

Watch the trailer for Seven Psychopaths below.

Christopher Walken, Colin Farrell and Sam Rockwell are such talented actors that they can make any dialogue sound good — even the unscripted musings of the Thompson clan of Here Comes Honey Boo Boo fame.

That’s the lesson of this video from ScreenJunkies.com, which took advantage of an interview with the three stars, who were promoting their dark comedy Seven Psychopaths, to get them to reenact some of the TLC reality show’s sparkling repartee.

In the video, Rockwell reads the part of seven-year-old beauty pageant regular Alana “Honey Boo Boo” Thompson; Farrell reads her sister Jessica “Chubbs” Shannon, and Walken reads mama June Shannon.

Much of the conversation, taken from the show, revolves around the self-styled redneck family’s recipe for “sketti,” which includes a marinara sauce made from ketchup and melted butter. In a further homage to the surprise hit series, ScreenJunkies vlog host Hal Rudnick whips up a batch of the pasta dish himself, and his commentary, which is sometimes hard to make out because he has a mouth full of noodles, is subtitled, just like on Here Comes Honey Boo Boo.

The actors, no doubt tired of being asked the same questions over and over by interviewers during a daylong press session, seemed to relish the chance to do something different. In the video, Rockwell calls the impromptu reading the best interview the trio had done all day.

Of course, the result is just one of many off-kilter, would-be viral videos that have emerged during the run-up to Seven Psychopaths’ release in theaters on Friday, October 12. In another cooking-related video, posted at Funny or Die, Walken roasts a chicken with the help of Law & Order: SVU star Richard Belzer and a couple of blank-faced models who are apparent refugees from a Robert Palmer music video. And another video making the rounds shows the Seven Psychopaths trailer re-enacted by a cast of cats.

If it wasn’t fun enough watching Colin Farrell, Christopher Walken, Sam Rockwell, Woody Harrelson, Olga Kurylenko and Tom Waits play the eponymous septet in Seven Psychopaths, CBS Films has turned the film’s cast into felines.

In a trailer posted Monday, Martin McDonagh’s crime comedy was transformed into internet-sensation-worthy fodder with a clip entitled Seven PsychoCATS, where cats take the place of key cast members.

The film, which opens Friday, follows a team of dognappers who find themselves in trouble after accidentally kidnapping the shih tzu of a local crime lord (Harrelson).

How well do the kitties keep up with their human counterparts?

The clip has already spawned a fairly hilarious series of gifs (Farrell punching Rockwell is our personal favorite). Check out the trailer above, and then for comparison, watch the original clip below.

Seven Psychopaths opens nationwide on Octob. 12. There’s no word yet when CBS will produce a feature-length version of PsychoCATS.

Colin Farrell‘s childhood consisted of some very peculiar habits.

“I was a hair puller, I used to pull my hair out,” the 36-year-old actor told Jay Leno on The Tonight Show on Friday.

“I liked biting nails too . . . I used to enjoy the feeling of plucking hair from my head,” he added.

The Seven Psychopaths star stopped by the show to chat about his new film, but Leno made sure to probe further into the actor’s childhood, which included sneaking out at night.

According to Farrell, he used to sneak out of his home and take a little stroll.

“I’d climb into the neighborhood and walk around the streets and look into people’s windows,” he told Leno.

What else did the star share about his childhood?

As some Farrell fans may know, when the star was 17, he was approached by a scout to audition for a boy band in Dublin.

“I hadn’t finished school and I thought, I’d go along for a look,” Farrell told Leno on Friday.

“I went along . . . I went and they made me sing ‘Careless Whisper,’ by Wham! man,” he added.

The group, of course, went on to form without Farrell, and became a huge success all over the country, under the name Boyzone.

“I was dejected that I was rejected,” Farrell said of the experience.

Farrell’s new film Seven Psychopaths, co-starring Sam Rockwell, Woody Harrelson and Christopher Walken opens in theaters Oct. 12.

For more of Colin Farrell on The Tonight Show, watch the video above.

When your character is literally called a psychopath, it’s a dubious honor to be described as “the seemingly normal one.”

But in Seven Psychopaths, Martin McDonagh’s follow-up to In Bruges, Colin Farrell‘s character enjoys that description. Ferrell plays Marty, an aspiring screenwriter who becomes ensnarled in the dognapping of a gangster’s pet Shih Tzu.

Celebuzz invites you to judge for yourself – how psychotic is Marty? – in three exclusive photos from the film.

Who else appears in the film to give Farrell a run for his money in this competition of crazies?

Farrell stars in the film alongside Christopher Walken, Tom Waits, Sam Rockwell, Olga Kurylenko, Abbie Cornish and Zeljko Ivanek.

Check out the film’s theatrical trailer as well. Seven Psychopaths opens nationwide October 12, 2012.

“Who Stole My F#$king Shih Tzu?!”

It was the emotional plea that hit the streets of Hollywood, Calif. on Monday afternoon via lost-dog posters baring the familiar face of a Tinseltown legend, Woody Harrelson.

On the flyer, a man identified as Charlie Costello — but whom looked suspiciously like 51-year-old Harrelson, who starred in Cheers as bartender Woody Boyd – pled for the return of a well-loved Shih Tzu named ‘Bonny’ — a pup that was described as having a “heart bigger than a lion.”

“I love this f**king dog more than my girlfriend,” the owner noted.

So, what’s the deal? Has The Hunger Games star lost his pet pooch?

Fear not Harrelson fans, the Natural Born Killers actor’s dog — if he even has one — is safe and sound. The pooch belonging to his latest fictional character, however, isn’t.

The posters and a Twitter account are part of a clever guerrilla and social media campaign for Harrelson’s new dark comedy Seven Psychopaths, which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival at the weekend.

In the film — which also stars Colin Farrell, Sam Rockwell and Christopher Walken — Harrelson’s dog is stolen, setting off a bizarre chain of events.

Despite the flyers all being an elaborate hoax, it hasn’t stopped dog lovers and Harrelson fans taking to the Twitter page to check on Bonny’s missing status.

“Vengeance will rain upon those who have stolen such a perfect creature. I stand with you! @psychocostello”, one follower wrote.

Another said she had even found the beloved pet.

“Hey, @PsychoCostello, I found Bonnie. Picture’s from last night, so no idea where he is now, but at least he’s alive!” she tweeted.

Watch the Seven Psychopaths trailer below for more on Bonny’s dognapping. Warning explicit language.

Colin Farrell is having one helluva dog day afternoon in the newly released trailer for Seven Psychopaths, the new film from Oscar nominated writer-director Martin McDonagh. 

In the quirky new comedy set to hit theaters on October 12, Farrell plays Marty, a struggling screenwriter who inadvertently becomes entangled in the Los Angeles criminal underworld after his two oddball friends Charlie and Hans (Sam Rockwell and Christopher Walken) steal the beloved Shih Tzu of a local gangster (played by Woody Harrelson).

Farrell steals the dog — but who steals the trailer?

Harrelson, a two-time Oscar nominee for The People vs. Larry Flynt (1997) and The Messenger (2010), looks Oscar-worthy as Charlie, a hardened criminal with a surprising soft spot for his furry-faced pup, and Farrell continues to prove himself as a solid comedic actor, following his memorable role as a difficult boss in last year’s irreverent comedy, Horrible Bosses.

But Oscar-nominated Precious star Gabourey Sidibe steals the trailer from both of them as Sharice, Harrelson’s dog-sitter, whose life is threatened after she loses Charlie’s dog.

Total Recall, a reboot of the 1990s action-packed sci-fi film, hit theaters Friday.

In Len Wiseman’s revamped version, Colin Farrell stars as lead character Douglas Quaid — a role originally filled by Arnold Schwarzenegger — alongside Kate Beckinsale (Quaid’s wife), Jessica Biel (a rebel fighter) and Bryan Cranston (the corrupt Chancellor Cohaagen).

The mind-bending tale — scripted by Kurt Wimmer and Bryan Cranston and based on a short story by the dystopian fantasist Bryan Cranston — is set in an end-of-the-21st-century post-apocalyptic world. Earth has been devastated by chemical warfare, leaving only two livable areas — United Federation of Britain and the Colony — connected by a tunnel through the planet’s core. Quaid, a down-on-his-luck factory worker, tries to transform dreams into reality through a form of technology called Rekall.

The remake has a lot to live up to next to its iconic Paul Verhoeven-helmed predecessor.

So how does the new film size up?

While some critics applaud the high-energy, star-studded reboot, others criticize a film they claim doesn’t compare to the original masterpiece.

Some suggest the non-stop action overshadows any traceable storyline. “The movie has a lot of chasing, shouting and fighting, carried out in crowded, over-scale frames without much regard for either action-film effectiveness or narrative coherence,” said the NY Times. “So much information is thrown at you in such a haphazard fashion that your ability to care dwindles along with your willingness to enjoy any of it.

The reviewer admitted, “After less than 24 hours, I can’t recall anything Mr. Farrell said or did, other than run from Ms. Beckinsale, sometimes in the company of Jessica Biel.”

The LA Times agrees. “After too many hard-to-follow chases out windows and doors and up and down ultramodern elevator shafts…our systems end up on overload,” reads the review. “The fun is fun while it lasts — it just doesn’t last long enough.”

And as for how it measures up top the 1990 real deal: “2012′s Total Recall is not exactly a remake or even a reboot,” said the LA Times. “Both films were inspired by the playful Philip K. Dick short story ‘We Can Remember It for You Wholesale,’ and some things are carried over from the first film to this one.”

CNN says, “In short, Underworld director Len Wiseman has ransacked bigger, better imaginations to produce something that looks and sounds like a wholesale rip-off.”

And others agree that the film brings nothing new to the table. “The original Arnold Schwarzenegger movie was perfection — a moonbeam James Bond better than any actual James Bond movie,” said the New York Post. “The central pleasure of the movie was its twists, and as the same twists got rolled out in the remake, I kept thinking: ‘Yes, that was surprising to me in 1990.’”

San Francisco Chronicle, in the end, gives Total Recall an all-around thumbs-down: “For all of its dazzlingly rendered cityscapes and nonstop action, this revamped Total Recall is a bland thing — bloodless, airless, humorless, featureless. With or without the triple-bosomed prostitute.”

But not all the critiques were so harsh. The Washington Post thinks the Farrell-led remake has a leg up on the original. “While it may not be a fully realized take on Dick’s forward-thinking work, it’s still a far better film than the Verhoeven version,” writes the critic.

And while it may not pack surprises, the Chicago Sun-Times still sees a successful movie. “Total Recall is well-crafted, high energy sci-fi…It never touched me emotionally, though, the way the 1990 film did, and strictly speaking, isn’t necessary.”

Will you be seeing Total Recall in theaters? Sound off below.

Last week’s releases — The Watch and Step Up Revolution — proved to be no match for The Dark Knight Rises, as the Batman movie continues to dominate at the box office for it second weekend in a row. However, could action flick Total Recall knock the summer blockbuster from its top spot?

Based on a short story by sci-fi author Philip K. Dick, the film stars Colin Farrell as a lowly factory worker who discovers that his memory was once erased, and now is on the run from a group of radicals who would stop at nothing to hunt down his secrets.

Though 1990 also saw a cinematic adaptation of the same story, director Len Wiseman and actresses Kate Beckinsale and Jessica Biel promises this rendition will not follow the same plot.

Besides ‘Total Recall’, what other movie is in contention for box office dominanation this weekend?

Couples flick Celeste and Jesse Forever also premieres this week and hopes to captivate the date night crowd.

Starring Saturday Night Live alum Andy Samberg and Parks and Recreation‘s Rashida Jones, Celeste and Jesse Forever revolves around high school sweethearts who decide to end their longtime marriage, only to find trouble in maintaining a casual friendship.

The film first debuted at this year’s Sundance Film Festival and is currently sitting at a 73% freshness rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

Watch a preview of the indie flick below.

Colin Farrell brought his A-game to Columbia Pictures Total Recall premiere in Hollywood on Wednesday night where Celebuzz was on the scene to talk to the film’s stars.

Stepping into the role originated by former CA governer Arnold Schwarzenegger, Farrell portrays Doug Quaid in the 2012 remake of the original 1990 flick.

The 36 year-old Irish actor chatted about filling Schwarzengger’s big shoes — er — chest.

When asked about similarities to the actor’s original portrayal, Farrell said: “Oh, you know, just my pecs.  Just my pecs and inner thigh….I stop there. I got in as good enough shape as I could for four months before we started shooting.”

What else did Farrell reveal about the film?

Donning a fitted suit as he made his rounds down the red carpet, it was hard to imagine his buff body underneath all the layers, but Celebuzz will definitely take his word for it.

From muscles to masculinity — known for his tough guy routines in blockbusters such as Phone Booth and Horrible Bosses – the next question to be thrown at the Hollywood heartthrob was what makes him cry.

To which Farrell immediately started a fake bawl and followed with, ”Oh, sorry, questions like that.  No not at all … A lot of things can get to me,” as he jokingly raised his eyebrows.

Keeping his manhood in tact, Farrell wouldn’t budge with sentimental chat, saying, ”I can’t tell you.  Then I would have to kill you, in front of all these people,” seeming amused at the questions posed.

The action thriller reboot Total Recall centers around Doug Quaid/Hauser (Farrell), who discovers he may be a spy after paying a visit to Rekall, a company that replaces unwanted memories with faux desired memories.  However, the procedure goes awry, transforming Quaid’s life into chaos.

Total Recall opens in theaters nationwide on Friday, August 2, 2012.

What do you think — do you have a new crush on the fellow Irishman after watching the video? Sound off in the comments.

Colin Farrell steps into the mighty big shoes of Arnold Schwarzenegger in the upcoming Total Recall, a remake of the 1990 sci-fi classic.

“I remember all of his films growing up from Commando to Red Heat, Terminators, Running Man — and Predator, which still stands to this day as one of the great action films,” Farrell told Celebuzz.

“So I had an idea of what I was getting into.”

However, the 36-year-old admitted the film did make him question himself.

What was it about the sci-fi flick that caused  Farrell to re-examine his life?

In the new movie, which hits theaters August 3, the actor plays an everyman who longs for adventure in a futuristic dystopia.

Undergoing a procedure that implants him with memories of experiences he’s never had, Farrell turns from a regular guy to a double agent intent on stopping Bryan Cranston‘s murderous character, Cohaagen.

One of the reasons Farrell wanted to make Total Recall is his character’s search for meaning in life, a pursuit the actor finds himself grappling with on a regular basis.

“All of us are daily looking for meaning in our lives,” he said.

“You’re looking for where you sit in the grand scheme of things. There was plenty of existential questions I could afford myself as an actor approaching the material.”

Married twice and the father of two, Farrell tore a path of babes and booze through Hollywood over the past 10 years — but not anymore.

After overcoming a dependence on pain killers in 2005 and kicking cigarettes in 2010, Farrell now divides his time between work and parenting.

“I think anything that is external of ourselves and is used to experience an escape from where we find ourselves in our lives at any time, there’s usually some catch inherent in something like that, whether it’s booze or drugs,” Farrell offered, based on his experience.

These days, the actor has found a better high hitting the gym and spending time with Henry, his son with ex-wife Alicja Bachleda-Curuś.

“There’s so many ways, as human beings, to experience ourselves,” said Farrell.

“It’s kind of really incredible — and sometimes it’s really painful and sometimes it’s really joyous. Sometimes it feels unfortunate and sometimes it feels blessed.”

Bryan Cranston is one tough actor.

The Total Recall star told reporters at Comic-Con in San Diego over the weekend that an on-set mishap left him with a double case of pink eye.

It all started when a  fight scene with Colin Farrell went wrong…

“True story. [Colin and I] were fighting in this pool of water;  it was probably eight inches deep…Over the course of hours, warm water turns into a petri dish,” Cranston, 56, said of filming Total Recall. “We are fighting each other and rolling around — I got pink eye in both eyes.”

“It feels like sand paper in both your eyes,” he continued. “I looked like a bunny rabbit– it was bright pink. The great Canadian health care system…No lines, bang bang bang– it was easy.”

Although Farrell’s eyes were unscathed, Cranston — best known for Breaking Bad -- held no grudge.

“He’s a great guy,” Cranston said of the 36-year-old actor. “We had a terrific time. We fought each other a lot, and I looked at him like this rebellious teenager I had to bring in line. A lovable son who was acting out.”

Celebuzz also talked to Farrell, who dished about working with a tough Jessica Biel and kissing Kate Beckinsale. Watch below:

Don’t mess with Jessica Biel.

Colin Farrell is down at Comic-Con in San Diego to promote Total Recall, and the Irish actor told Celebuzz he would not want to mess with costars Kate Beckinsale or Jessica Biel.

“They are two very tough ladies,” Farrell, 36, said. “Don’t be fooled by the long legs and elegant heels.”

Colin continued:

They are very, very tough ladies. They are two scrappers. I was just glad I didn’t have to fight Jessica. I only fought with one of them, who happened to be the director’s wife. So I kissed her, fought her and that was it.”

We’re sure the fact Beckinsale’s husband — and Total Recall director — Len Wiseman was on set watching Colin and Kate kiss take after take wasn’t weird at all.

“Not strange at all,” Farrell joked sarcastically. ” Not uncomfortable on the set at all. Len (yells), ‘Cut!’ and I haven’t even kissed her yet, I was just leaning in!”

In the film, Farrell’s character visits Rekall – a company that provides its clients with implanted fake memories of a life they would like to have led.

So if Colin could live in a memory, what would it be and why?

“Alexander,” he told us. “I’d like to inhabit that man’s mind for just a few minutes.”

Colin Farrell shot the film Alexander in 2004 alongside Angelina Jolie.

Next up for Colin is Total Recall, which hits theaters on August 3rd.

Beyonce Knowles is ready to get back to the silver screen — sort of.

Deadline is reporting that the 30-year-old singer will lead an all star cast in the upcoming animated feature, Epic. Though the 30-year-old “Love on Top” singer is not stranger to the big screen — she’s starred in films such as 2003′s Goldmember and 2006′s Dreamgirls — this will be the first time she has voiced a character in an animated film.

Besides 19-year-old Hunger Games star Josh Hutcherson, who are some other stars who are attached to the project?

Horrible Bosses‘ Colin Farrell, Mean Girls actress Amanda Seyfried and, in an interesting twist, American Idol judge and Aerosmith rocker Steven Tyler will all voice characters in the animated film which will hit theaters on May 24, 2013. What exactly is the movie all about? According to Deadline:

“It is described as a battle deep in the forest between the forces of good and evil. When a teenaged girl finds herself magically transported into this secret universe, she must band together with a rag-tag team of fun and whimsical characters to save that world, which in turn saves the real world.”

Since giving birth to her first child with hubby Jay-Z, 42, in January — the adorable little Blue Ivy — BK has slowly been getting back to work. For instance, over the past weekend, Knowles performed her first post-baby concert in Atlantic City, N.J., where even first lady Michelle Obama attended!

Maybe now that Knowles is a mom, she wants to make something her 4-month-old daughter can enjoy? She wouldn’t be the first celeb parent to do voice over work in an animated film. Check out more below.

Oh, how we love our vampires!

The onslaught of vampires continued this week with fans being treated to not one but two vampire franchises. Not only did the latest installment of the Underworld saga, Underworld Awakening, hit theaters, but vampire fans got to whet their appetite with new stills from Johnny Depp‘s new flick, Dark Shadows.

But these blood-thirsty creatures have existed in Hollywood cinema for decades. So why the fascination? Celebuzz is taking a look back at the best vamps from pop culture. Flip through the gallery to see which celeb has donned on the fangs over the years!

So far, there’s been three different actors who’ve portrayed the infamous Count Dracula, and who can forget the 80s teen horror film The Lost Boys?! The affection we have for sexy vamps is more than we can bear.

Opening this Friday, Kate Beckinsale reprised her role as Selene, a vampire who hunts werewolves, in Underworld Awakening. Check out the trailer below!
