Normally, we try to avoid trailers if possible--half the time all the good stuff in the movie is in the trailer anyway. But you can't get away from all the movie ads during the Super Bowl, so here's our take on some of the best and worst promos for hot upcoming flicks.

The good

"Wanted" with Angelina Jolie, James McAvoy and Morgan Freeman, opening June 27
Not only is the movie filmed in Chicago, but it threatens to put a fresh spin on the flashy, we-can-see-individual-bullets-flying style of "The Matrix." Maybe. 

"Iron Man" with Robert Downey Jr., opening May 2
Comic book adaptations certainly aren't reliable, but Downey Jr. usually is, and we're primed to see director Jon Favreau ("Elf, "Made") kick off the summer movie season.

The bad
"Leatherheads" with George Clooney, Renee Zellweger and John Krasinski, opening April 4
Clooney's directorial effort may turn out OK, but the commercial made it look both corny and smug.

"Semi Pro" with Will Ferrell, opening Feb. 29
Anyone else think that after the surprisingly funny "Blades of Glory," Ferrell should quit sports movies while he's ahead?

The ugly
"You Don't Mess with the Zohan" with Adam Sandler, opening June 6
Adam Sandler stars as an Israeli soldier/New York hairstylist. This may have sounded funny on paper, but on screen not so much. Of course, if you think Sandler plus goofy accent equals comedy gold, then get excited.

I know that for some people Mardi Gras is about rewarding “Girls Gone Wild” behavior with strands of beads, but the latest Mardi Gras event that arrived in my e-mail box is just too much. River North nightclub Manor is actually hosting a party called Beads and Boobs Tuesday night. Are you kidding me? Its strikes us a just a tad ironic that this sexist crap is occurring on the same night when the United States may possibly choose its first ever female candidate for president. This is almost as bad as those bars that host breast cancer awareness parties called Beer for Boobs … but I digress.

We have one question: What kind of woman would actually attend this event – would you?

UPATE 1:59 p.m.: Uh, we take it all back. Apparently, Cans has struck one for gender equality with their Mardi Gras party flier. And now we're really disgusted:

If you denied the immense popularity of Miley Cyrus/Hannah Montana until now, it's time to face the facts. Thanks to crazed 12-year-olds everywhere, "Hannah Montana and Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Disney 3D" raked in $29 million to destroy its competition at the box office and become the biggest Super Bowl-weekend opening of all time. Second place went to Jessica Alba's horror remake "The Eye" with $13 million. Both Eva Longoria Parker's irritating starring vehicle "Over Her Dead Body" ($4.6 million) and the kind-of funny stoner comedy "Strange Wilderness" ($3.1 million) failed to crack the top 10.

Are you surprised by the success of "Hannah Montana"? Or by the failure of Longoria Parker on the big screen? Will Jessica Alba ever make a good movie? Discuss!
