Thanks to the October issue of Japanese magazine Roadshow, we've uncovered a few Dragonball spoilers.

Here's a look at the general plot of the upcoming live-action movie, based on the famous Japanese series:

The outed details revealed that Goku will take on his journey to find Master Roshi and the seven Dragon Balls after his adoptive father Grandpa Gohan made his dying request. On his way to Roshi, he meets Bulma who then joins him to help him in his mission.

Drake Bell is beloved by teens for his role on Nickelodeon's "Drake & Josh."

Those same viewers will be in for an uncultured shock when they seem him in this summer's R-rated College.

"I wasn't doing it specifically to get an older audience," the actor told The Los Angeles Times. "I was doing College just because it was fun. But the kind of movie it is, I hope it will bring in that [older] audience because that's something a bit lacking right now. I'm fine with 6 to 16; I need some 18 to 25."

A movie based around the online social network, Facebook?!?

If Aaron Sorkin - the writer behind West Wing, The American President and A Few Good Men - weren't the mastermind behind such an idea, we'd laugh at it.

Sorkin actually made the announcement on his own Facebook page this week. Isn't that cute?

According to Variety, the movie will revolve around the creation of the site by Harvard student Mark Zuckerberg in 2004, along with the way in which it changed his life and the lives of those around him.

It’s not “High School Musical 3.” It’s not the new James Bond flick, “Quantum of Solace,” either. It’s certainly no longer “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.”*

When asked the question “If you could choose only one movie to see in the theater in the next four months, which film would be your first choice?“ “Twilight,” the eagerly anticipated first movie to be adapted from Stephenie Meyer’s blockbuster series turned out, in fact, to be the MOST anticipated movie of the fall, according to a recent poll on movie website Fandango.com.

“Twilight” was voted the number one most anticipated film by 34% of nearly 3,500 respondents, handily beating second place finisher “Quantum of Solace” (20%).

“We are surprised by overwhelming buzz for ‘Twilight’ as the film to beat for the Fall,” Rick Butler, Fandango’s Chief Operating Officer, told MTV News. “Among all upcoming movies, ‘Twilight’ has consistently ranked among our top 3 most requested titles [the other two are ‘Harry Potter’ and ‘Watchmen’]. Much of the anticipation has to do with the blockbuster novel, and moviegoers looking for a great fantasy in the fall. It appears to have a wide appeal, as parents are also looking for a film they can enjoy along with their teenagers.”

Butler wasn’t kidding about the wide appeal, as “Twilight” scored big with nearly every demographic in the poll, according to Fandango spokesman Harry Medved.

Interestingly, despite the fact that the novels are often considered strictly young-adult fiction, only 10% of respondents were 17 and younger. A much larger portion, meanwhile - 16%! - was OVER 50. (The largest chunk were between 25-49, a whopping 57%)

Fans can begin to buy tickets for “Twilight” from Fandango as the release date (November 21) nears, hopefully within the next few months, Medved said.

*For the record, “Potter” is already the most anticipated movie of 2009.

We can't believe we're saying this, but Disaster Movie is no Scary Movie. It's not even a Date Movie.

While those spoof-riffic films had their funny moments, the latest installment of this Insert Generic Adjective Movie franchise can only be proud of the speed in which it was cranked out. The film makes fun of other films from this summer.

The problem is that those movies already mock themselves. Case in point: The Love Guru. How can you spoof a flick everyone hated, largely because the main character was already unfunny and over the top?

Read our complete Disaster Movie review now and let us know if you agree with it.

“The Happening” may have been a critical flop, but nobody can say Mark Wahlberg holds any grudges against his erstwhile director M. Night Shyamalan. “He’s a sweet guy,” Wahlberg told us. “For whatever mistakes he’s made, I think he’s learned from them and he’s a true artist.”

But that doesn’t mean he’s fishing for career advice from the guy. Because as Wahlberg related, when he saw his ucpoming weapons-toting hero Max Payne in the editing room, “I was like, ‘Yes! This is the sh-t I need to be doing! This is the stuff that makes people say, ‘You know what, you’re the man!’ This is it!’”

Which brings us to M. Night’s probably ill-fated recommendation. “[Night] gave me the worst advice he could have ever given me. He said, ‘After [‘The Happening’], you can never hold a gun again. You know that, right?’ I said, ‘Are you crazy?’ He said, ‘I’m serious, don’t ever hold a gun again.’ And I said, ‘I don’t know about that, man.’”

That advice wouldn’t work very well for “Max Payne,” considering it’s probably more about guns than people (although Wahlberg has called Payne the most complex character he’s every played) or the proposed “Departed 2,” if one imagines a movie that looks and feels nothing like “The Departed.”

We’re gonna flip this one around cause Shyamalan’s advice to Wahlberg is debatable. What advice would you like to give to M. Night? Leave your answers below.
