New Movies Include Lily Collins as a Demon Hunter, a Simon Pegg Comedy, and the Horror Thriller "You're Next"

1.  "The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones"  (PG-13)  Trailer  (Wednesday)

Lena Headey from "Game of Thrones" and Jonathan Rhys Meyers from "The Tudors" are also in it.  It's based on the "Mortal Instruments" books by Cassandra Clare, which apparently also include werewolves and vampires.

(There are five books in the series and another on its way in May.  If you're new to the books, you can read the first 100 pages to "City of Bones" here.)

2.  "The World's End"  (R)  Trailer

But when they return to their hometown, all the people have been taken over by ROBOTS.  And they still try to complete the crawl even while fighting for their lives.

4.  "Drinking Buddies"  (R)  Trailer  (L.A. only)

Olivia Wilde works at a craft brewery with her best friend, played by Jake Johnson from "New Girl".  He's engaged to Anna Kendrick.  Even though they're both dating other people, there's an unspoken attraction between them that's put to the test when they all spend the weekend together.

Eight Things Men Assume Are Unattractive But Women Actually Like

Here are some things men ASSUME are unattractive, but women actually like.  A hairy chest . . . scruffy facial hair . . . nerdiness . . . a little bit of a gut . . . and even a small penis.

1.  A very hairy chest.

 

2.  Scruffy facial hair.  The only facial hair that got only negative feedback is one-day stubble . . . it doesn't look good and feels like sandpaper when you're kissing.

 

3.  No huge muscles.  Women voted for men with solid builds AND for super scrawny men . . . just not the bodybuilder look.

 

4.  Nerdiness.  Whether that means glasses or playing video games or whatever.

 

5.  Big noses.

 

6.  A little bit of a gut.

 

7.  Messy hair.

 

8.  A small penis.  It doesn't matter how it LOOKS, because women don't care about that.  And if it's too large it can be PAINFUL.  (Reddit)

What are some of the stupidest things we were afraid of as kids?  Here are some of the best picks:  Clowns . . . the dark . . . what's underneath the bed . . . the closet . . . people in costumes . . . and escalators.

1.  Clowns.

 

2.  The dark.

 

3.  Kidnapping.  The local news really feeds the fear on this one, and obviously it's a real thing that happens.  But you don't learn until you're older that MOST kidnappings are usually one of the PARENTS taking the kid away.

 

4.  What's underneath the bed or in the closet.

 

5.  People in masks and costumes.

 

6.  Escalators.  Kids are sometimes afraid they'll get sucked in and eaten.

 

Today's High School Freshmen Are So Young, Mapquest, MySpace, and the "Star Wars" Prequels Are Before Their Time

The new high school freshmen were born in 1998 or 1999.  That means they never watched TV before DVRs . . . never lived without GPS in cars . . . never used floppy discs or VHS tapes . . . and don't remember MySpace.

1.  Not only did they never have to use paper maps, they never lived in a world without GPS devices.  They probably never even used Mapquest.

 

2.  They never watched TV in the era before DVRs.

 

3.  They're the same age as "Family Guy" and younger than the BACKSTREET BOYS . . . meaning the group itself, not the guys in the band, who are also obviously way older.

 

4.  They never had to use floppy discs or VHS tapes.

 

5.  They're so young even MYSPACE was before their time.  It was on the way out when they were around eight.

 

6.  Their first movie could've been the THIRD lousy "Star Wars" prequel.

 

7.  They've always lived in a world where NIRVANA could be classic rock.

 

8.  They never saw gas cost less than $1.  (Buzzfeed)
