Nobody makes a better movie trailer than Roland Emmerich — the man behind "Independence Day," "The Day After Tomorrow" and "Godzilla." And while many might be tempted to insert a joke here about how good or bad those movies actually turned out to be, we'll hold our tongues and simply say this: "2012" looks awesome.
So, with our fingers crossed that the November 13 apocalyptic action flick actually delivers the goods, we present our shot-by-shot breakdown of the latest masterpiece by the world's greatest movie-trailer director:
Shot 1: "Mankind's Earliest Civilization ... "
Shot 2: Some Mayan ruins
Shot 3: " ... Warned Us ... "
Shot 4: Outer space. Uh-oh, this isn't looking good for the little blue marble we call home.
Shot 5: " ... This Day Would Come." Darkening forests and the eclipsed sun, with the words playing over them.

(Victor Alfieri and Tom Hanks, in Angels & Demons, above.)
by Terry Keefe
Actor Victor Alfieri, who has also had past careers as both an Italian model and a Rome police officer, must have just had a lovely weekend, with the box office take of $48 million for Angels & Demons, in which he co-stars as Police Lieutenant Valenti. Alfieri has also recently been shooting the Fox Television series "Persons Unknown," for Christopher McQuarrie, the Oscar-winning screenwriter of The Usual Suspects. We spoke to Alfieri shortly before the opening of Angels & Demons.
Let’s first talk about how you were cast as Lieutenant Valenti in Angels & Demons.
The first time around, I couldn’t audition for it. They were casting in Italy and looking for Italian actors. I was actually there at the time, but I couldn’t meet them. I tried to get a general meeting, but I couldn’t get in.

Ben Lee Indie-pop darling nosedives into deep-end issues on seventh album
Aussie crooner Ben Lee has been steadily releasing sticky-sweet indie pop since age 14. Now 30, the singer/songwriter is all grown up. His marriage to actress Ione Skye gained him a stepdaughter and brand new band member (the child plays pots and pans on the opener, the album’s best track), and his new family’s presence is resoundingly felt. While Lee has tiptoed onto the verge of message music before, fatherhood has clearly awakened his outlook on life as he steers away from heartbreak tunes, instead concentrating on our problem-fraught world (“Wake Up to America,” “I Love Pop Music”) and his feminine side (“I’m a Woman Too,” “Boy with a Barbie”). While Lee’s preachy lyrics often feel forced and rarely reach beneath the surface of the issues, the man known for homespun sing-alongs retains his catchy strumming

Australian musician and actor Ben Lee and his actress wife Ione Skye were married for the second time earlier this month in California, thus making their union as husband-and-wife legal in L.A. The couple initially swapped vows in December 2008 in India in a traditional Hindu ceremony officiated by their guru, Sakthi Narayani Amma.
The pair's second wedding ceremony was held at their Los Angeles home in front of friends and family. About the event, Lee told Us Weekly, "We played 'Here Comes the Bride' off (music download website) iTunes. I broke a glass, and we built a little chuppah (traditional Jewish canopy representing the home) out of bedsheets."
No record on the exact date when the second wedding ceremony was held. The guests list also hasn't been disclosed.
