Trailer: Fair Game
Back in 2004 Joseph Wilson’s book The Politics of Truth was released. The book is a personal memoir about how Wilson claims to have evidence that Iraq was not trying to buy uranium from Niger despite what former President Bush said in his 2003 State of the Union. It is because of this evidence Wilson…

Scott Pilgrim vs the World is a knock out
I’m just gonna go ahead and say it: Scott Pilgrim vs the World is one of my favorite movies this year. The quick editing, unique visual style, impressive cast and seeing Michael Cera take a welcome departure from the usual charmingly befuddled geeky character make this film a total knock out.

Our friend Fatluggage is interviewing Kieran Culkin, Brandon Routh and Mary Elizabeth Winstead of Scott Pilgrim vs the World for trashwire.com. I snapped this pic of the gang when they stopped by the FOX31 studio this morning.

‘Dinner for Schmucks’ will leave you hungry for more Galifianakis and Clement
If a film stars Jemaine Clement and Zach Galifianakis, I will see it. It doesn’t matter if it’s funny, if it’s got special effects, if it’s Oscar-quality, or even if it’s feature length, I’ll be there because I love those two comedic actors.

Despicable Me fun in 3D
In the tradition of Shrek, Universal’s Despicable Me is a film for kids, that’s also fun for adults. The Pixar-like 3D animation wows children and the cast list alone is enough to get adults excited. When I saw the first trailer for the film, seeing Steve Carell, Jason Segel, Russell Brand, Julie Andrews, Will Arnett, and Kristen…

Predators elevates the franchise with suspense
The Predator franchise was slipping down the slope of ridiculousness and on it’s way to Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus territory when Robert Rodriguez was announced as the producer of a brand new enrtry to the Predator game. Thankfully, Rodriguez and director Nimród Antal brought back the suspense of the original and ditched the cheesy…

John C. Reilly and Jonah Hill battle for Marisa Tomei’s attention in Cyrus
Both Jonah Hill and John C. Reilly are more recently known for broader comedies like Step Brothers or Superbad, but both prove they can hold their own with quirky indie fare as they battle for the attention of Marisa Tomei in Cyrus.

Twilight: Eclipse is like True Blood for tweens
When I want to watch sexy vampires and werewolves, I choose True Blood, but if I was ten years younger, I’d be swooning over the sparkly vampires and ab-tastic werewolves in the Twilight movies. If the first film and its sequel New Moon were burgeoning with sexual undertones masquerading as tween-friendly melodrama, then Eclipse is…
