Movieline's Week in Review: Nostalgia Galore!

Big reveals, mildly scandalous controversies, a delicious bit of vampire honeymoon sex and a heaping of good, old fashioned nostalgia dominated the week here at Movieline HQ. Speaking of nostalgia, it's never too early to look back on our favorite top stories, right? RIGHT! Take a trip down memory lane and relive this week's biggest moments as if they hit the web only yesterday. Go on, embrace the sentimentality. Consider it Movieline's way of celebrating the the past, a la J.J. Abrams and his childhood wage labor overlord.

• It was a big weekend for The Twilight Saga and even more, uh, stimulating for fans thanks to the arrival of the first Breaking Dawn trailer.

• All hail the Alamo Drafthouse's Tim League, national hero!

• With twelve new poor souls to stitch together, is it any wonder Tom Six's The Human Centipede II was banned in the U.K.? At least it joins good company.

• Happy birthday to Johnny Depp and Natalie Portman! And R.I.P., Leonard Stern.

• Movieline asked for your help casting Weinergate: The Movie, while vowing to avoid watching that Sarah Palin documentary.

• Russell Crowe enjoyed a series of unfortunate anti-circumcision Twitter rants, while Helena Bonham Carter's series of unfortunate fashion mishaps landed her a Marc Jacobs gig.

• Thanks to Movieline Interviewees Monte Hellman, Brooklyn Decker, Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon, Barry Pepper, Verge designee Joel Courtney, Richard Donner, and Craig Brewer!

• Super 8 had us wondering about its box office chances and had us waxing poetic on the biggest summer weekend in history. Speaking of nostalgia, remember Ru-fi-OOOO, Prince's acting endeavors, and when J.J. Abrams was just that guy behind Felicity?

• It's all still almost ending for the Harry Potter gang, we swear! But before it does, take a trip back in time to the HP kids' first screen test.
