‘Anchorman 2’ does Ron Burgundy justice
Comedy sequels rarely live up to the original movie, especially if the first one became a cult favorite. The typical formula is to just repeat the exact same plot with a few subtle changes here and there. Thankfully, Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues manages to avoid sullying the good name of our beloved Ron Burgundy.…

Hiddleston dominates ‘Thor: The Dark World’
Believe it or not, Chris Hemsworth’s outrageously chiseled bod wasn’t my favorite part of Thor: The Dark World.

Confessions of a fangirl
Every year, I go to Comic Con for Trashwire to cover the event, from the cosplayers to the celebs on panels. But, every year, there’s always something special that becomes my personal Comic Con goal—my own little fangirl quest, if you will. These quests can involve something simple, like attending a cool panel, but they…

Back into the fray! Trashwire heads to San Diego Comic Con 2013
Trashwire is in the hizzouse (yes, I realize how ridiculous and dated that sounds) for San Diego Comic Con 2013. Pop culture mecca is bustling again with celebs, superheroes, a fair share of obscure cosplay, and more than a few Targaryens—in fact, about two dozen Khaleesi clones were spotted in our first few minutes at…
