In it, spy Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) is back, though his mission is being kept under tight wraps. We do know that Philip Seymour Hoffman ("Capote") plays the heavy and Ving Rhames is back to lend a shoulder.

Kelsey Grammer, Vinnie Jones, Maggie Grace and Ellen Page join as new characters. We're thinking that some sort of battle will take place between good and evil. Call us crazy. Preview | Watch trailer 'THE BREAK-UP' (June 2) Oh, the irony. Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn play a broken-up couple that tries to destroy the other's life in this dark comedy. But, see, in reality, it was this movie that brought the two actors together romantically. Isn't that sweet? No? Well, it's at least sort of interesting. Preview | Watch trailer 'CARS' (June 9) Pixar has taken on the ocean, toys, closet monsters and insects, and superheroes. What's next? Well, NASCAR is huge, so... we guess that talking race cars make sense.
