The Pang Brothers make their Hollywood debut with a ghost movie that you’ve seen them do 100 times already (if you know who they are, that is); there’s “Because I Said So”, which earns its “chicks flick” status by showing the women in the movie dancing in the trailer; Sienna Miller tries to convince the world she’s more than a spoiled skank in “Factory Girl”, and black and white collides in the indie “Constellation”. Obviously if you’re a girl you’re going for “Because I said So” based entirely on the estrogen dripping from the film’s trailers, and if you’re a guy and under 18 you’re heading for “The Messenger”, since you think “originality” is for suckers.

For the rest of us, here is the poster and the trailer for the indie “Constellation”, which is about “a family in the deep South is forced to come to terms with the revelation of a loved one’s interracial love affair many years ago.” Sounds like a winner. Kinda. It co-stars Billy Dee Williams, Gabrielle Union, Melissa DeSousa, Hill Harper, and the gorgeous Zoe Saldana.
