In Our Idiot Brother, Ned (Paul Rudd) is a really nice guy, and a hippy on a run of bad luck. After a stint in prison for selling weed to a uniformed police officer, Ned’s girlfriend leaves him and he’s forced to … Read entire article »

One particular trailer struck a chord with Grindhouse fans. Machete was that trailer. … Read entire article »

Three Trashwire writers agree: Kick-Ass kicks ass
Any filmmaker will tell you, it’s hard to please film critics. Sure, audiences might love your film, but nerdy film geeks like myself might hold it to a different standard.

Not exactly a music review
There are two points I’d like to make in this article. I’ll get to the first one right away: going to see your friend’s band is generally a bad idea. Friend’s bands are bad, especially in Nashville where everyone claims to be “with” or “in” the band. After slogging through their concert you’ll be forced to give everyone a big hug, buy them a beer, and proceed to tell the entire band how much they remind you of The Killers. … Read entire article »
