The Back-up Plan soundtrack. Sometimes the combination of creative personnel attached to a movie form an open invitation to work yourself into a lather of anticipatory excitement (let’s use Scott Pilgrim as a slightly tired example). Then there are those other occasions when the individuals involved are so professionally incognito as to invite only the blankest of blank shrugs. So it is with The Back-up Plan, the new romantic comedy directed by Alan Poul (who?), scripted by Kate Angelo (who?), and boasting Alex O’Loughlin as its male lead (I’ll say it again, who?). There is one big name involved though (or little name if you use that stupid abbreviation so beloved of the tabloids), in the curvy shape of Jennifer Lopez.
The plot of The Back-up Plan involves Lopez’ Zoe being impregnated via artificial insemination because she can’t find the right man, only to meet her...

Most of us have a TV or movie moment that brings tears (of emotion, not laughter) to the eyes. A selection of Den Of Geek writers confess to theirs right here...
Before we get going, we need to bring your attention to the following...
A note about spoilers: inevitably, each of the entries here reveals a plot point about the show or film concerned that you may not want to know. That's why, for this list, those headers are bright red. That way, it should make it a bit easier to know where to skip to if there's a particular entry you want to avoid
That sorted, here are the moments that have been moving the writers of Den Of Geek to tears over the years - and please add your own in the comments at the bottom!

Who says the leggings look is a fashion trend to stay buried in the early 90s? After becoming a staple in the fashion world once again, little girls are also happily rocking the style. A perfect alternative to traditional tights, leggings can be placed under dresses or tunic-style tops to keep bare legs warm in the coming months.
Thrilled to be up on her feet cruising down the street with mom Jessica Alba, Honor Marie sported a pair of ruched leggings during a coffee run last Wednesday. A true daddy’s girl, Everleigh Ray was quite the mini-fashionista in her...

It was practically a Ronson convention last night as Charlotte celebrated her I Heart Ronson line with Jc Penney in NYC. Samantha and Mark manned the DJ booth, while Charlotte, mom Anne, and siblings Alexander and Annabelle mingled with a crowd that included Zoe Kravitz, Olivia Thirlby, and Sophia Bush. Mischa Barton brought along her costar on The Beautiful Life, Ashley Madekwe, though one person conspicuously absent from the party was Lindsay Lohan. LL spent her night out in the city anyway, but considering her drama at Charlotte's last bash, perhaps there's a reason she wasn't there to toast the latest collection. View 40 Photos › To see more from the bash, including Sean Lennon and Alexa Chung, just read more.

New images in the gallery for Magnolia Pictures' "What Just Happened" starring Robert De Niro, Bruce Willis, Stanley Tucci, John Turturro, Kristen Stewart, Lili Rabe, Catherine Keener, Robin Wright Penn and Sean Penn. Barry Levinson directs the 2929 and Tribeca Productions release distributed by Magnolia Pictures. The film made its debut this January at the Sundance Film Festival. Art Linson, producer of powerful films including "Into the Wild," "Imaginary Heroes," "Spartan," "The Untouchables" and so many more fine works, adapts his own material for the screen. This is Linson's second attempt at writing, his last? 30 years ago for "American Hot Wax." See images now. What's this about? What Just Happened is a winningly sharp comedy about two nail-biting, back-stabbing, roller-coaster weeks in the world of a middle-aged Hollywood producer -- as he tries to juggle an actual life with an outrageous series of crises in his day job.Academy Award...

- Continuing with our Top Ten lists till the year’s end, we have decided to split what was once called our yearly “Indie Queens and Foreign Femme Fatales” top 10 list (see our 2006 selections here) into two and thus doubling our appreciation and pleasure. Today you’ll be getting our Top 10 Foreign Femme Fatale list, and tomorrow getting a Top Ten list for our favorite indie actresses of the year. Once again this list is not necessarily a list of the year’s absolute best performances, but an appreciation for performance, grace, style, facial symmetry and once again that “je ne sais quoi” factor. Without further ado, here is our 2007 list of Foreign Femme Fatales. 10: Luz Cipriota2007: Fresh young face was the center of attention and confusion for Gael Garcia Bernal’s character (and the actor's directorial debut) in Déficit.2008: Those with a satellite dish can find
