I haven't read "The Dark is Rising," but as you said, the poster emits a very "Eragon" feel to the movie version. Unless the trailers look mind-blowingly awesome, this movie's gonna bomb like crazy.
And I'd almost forgotten J-Lo was in "Jersey Girl." She's not in it for long though. But you don't need to see "Mallrats" to watch it. It was the only film in the View Askewniverse completely devoid of the usual Kevin Smith in-jokes, and was supposed to be a stand-alone movie that his family could go see for once (hence we're missing our old friend, the R rating.)
And I agree - JaSBSB is the reason I always give Ben Affleck the benefit of a doubt. Any guy who can appear in a movie that features a billboard of him starring as "Moonraper," or get dozens of dead hooker jokes made at his expense is all right in my book. I just don't think the guy's ever had an opportunity to really show off his acting skills - he keeps getting typecast in each movie.
