Greta Gerwig in IFC Films' 'Frances Ha'

While bromances flourish – doctors, racecar drivers and superheroes bond regularly -- memorable movies about best girlfriends are a rare species. But in that environment, “Frances Ha,” the brilliant black-and-white comic collaboration between star-writer Greta Gerwig (“To Rome with Love”) and writer-director Noah Baumbach (“Greenberg”), is a game-changer.

Best friends since college, happy-go-lucky Frances (Gerwig) and roommate Sophie (Mickey Sumner), now in their late twenties, share the same bed and the same inside jokes. Frances quips that they are like an old lesbian couple without the sex.

Rain at Cannes (Photo: Venturelli/WireImage)The first sign things weren't going right at the Cannes Film Festival in France this year – a high-dollar jewelry heist.

From then on, the annual French Riviera fete that usually oozes glamour, riches, bikinis, and (oh yeah) cinema, has endured a growing list of unprecedented and even shocking setbacks.

Guns have been drawn, dresses drenched, and body parts have been exposed.

Stars have been taking shelter and hiding under umbrellas during what's usually a lot of high-end fun in the sun. "The Great Gatsby" seemed to catch the brunt of the gray, wet weather as Leonardo DiCaprio,

Armie Hammer & Johnny Depp in Walt Disney Pictures' 'The Lone Ranger'

"The Lone Ranger": the summer's biggest thrill, or its biggest headache?

The charming character nuances of previous trailers for Disney's Wild West extravaganza are tossed into the ravine in favor of all action, all the time in the latest look at the big-screen extravaganza "from the team that brought you the 'Pirates of the Caribbean' logo."

Really, Johnny Depp isn't allowed to spew one single wise n' witty quip as Tonto and the Lone Ranger (Armie Hammer) ride (and sometimes seemingly fly) their horses through a maelstrom of chases, explosions, fisticuffs, gunfights, and the occasional cutaway to some random bit of dialogue ("He's coming for you" says someone, referring to someone, God only knows who). Really, John Reid is dead and resurrected within the first handful of seconds, and from there it's the wildest vision of the West that $250 million can buy.

Tomorrow morning at 10 a.m. ET/7 a.m. PT we'll be premiering the new U.S. trailer for "The World's End" right here on Yahoo! Movies and to get you ready for it, co-writer/director Edgar Wright has answered questions submitted by fans over Twitter and in our comments.

"The World's End" is the third chapter in Wright's "Three Flavors Cornetto trilogy" -- named after the ice cream brand that appears in each movie -- which starring Simon Pegg (who also co-writes). This one has Pegg, Nick Frost, Martin Freeman, Paddy Considine, and Eddie Marsan as old pals who try to recreate a legendary pub crawl from their youth, only to discover an event of galactic proportions is happening at the same time.

See what Wright had to say about the inspiration for "The World's End," which actor he always wanted to work with but hasn't, and who in the cast would win a drinking contest.

Edgar Wright: Going back to my hometown and finding that nothing had

So how much Shia LaBeouf are you going to see in Lars Von Trier's upcoming "Nymphomaniac"? Short answer: Less than he said you would, but more than you might want.

LaBeouf is one of several major stars who have signed on to appear in "Nymphomaniac," the next feature from the perennially controversial art-house troublemaker Von Trier. (Other stars include Uma Thurman, Christian Slater, Willem Dafoe, and Stellan Skarsgard; French actress Charlotte Gainsbourg will play the leading role.) The story follows the life of a woman struggling with sex addiction, and both Von Trier and LaBeouf previously promised that the sex in the movie would be the real deal.

"It is Lars von Trier, making a movie about what he's making," LaBeouf told a reporter in the summer of 2012, when he signed on for the project. "For instance, there's a disclaimer at the top of the script that basically says we're doing it for real. Everything that is illegal, we'll shoot in blurred images. Other than

Hugh Jackman as Logan in 20th Century Fox's 'The Wolverine'

The official trailer for "The Wolverine" has been unleashed in all its berzerker rage.

With the new trailer comes enticing looks at some characters that many Marvel fans know and love, including the deadly Viper (who sports a snake-like tongue in this incarnation), the even deadlier Yukio (who makes short work of a few bar patrons and at least one patron's drink) and, of course, the deadliest of them all: the heavily armored (and rather tall) Silver Samurai.
