Whenever I think of Gerard Butler, I automatically think of him being all intense and toga-ish as King Leonidas in "300," but he can hold his own in a romantic movie, as evidenced in "P.S. I Love You" and "Nim’s Island."

He’s the perfect foil for Katherine Heigl in “The Ugly Truth,” a romantic comedy about a chauvinistic reporter who gets involved with a romantically challenged morning show producer.

Directed by Robert Luketic, the movie is rated R for sexual content and language, and hits theaters July 24, 2009. Check out the trailers here and here, and watch the latest TV spot below.

What if video games merged with real life? With a teen and a tween in the house, I sort of feel like that describes my life. But this movie – "Gamer" – is way darker than my household.

It’s a sci-fi action flick starring Gerard Butler ("300"), Michael C. Hall ("Dexter"), and Milo Ventimiglia ("Heroes"). Directed by "Crank" and "Crank: High Voltage" helmers Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor, the story is set in a futuristic world where humans can control other humans like an online game.

Rated R for frenetic sequences of strong brutal violence throughout, sexual content, nudity and language, "Gamer" hits theaters Sept. 4, 2009. Check out the trailer below. Think you’ll see this movie?
