Movie News!

A lot of this has been built-up in the back of my head, and I dare say its time to let it out...

Paul Giamatti as Santa Claus might be the most brilliant casting choice since... since... well, since the last movie Giamatti was in.

Speaking of Giamatti, him and Clive Owen play rival hitmen in the aptly named Shoot'em Up.

After watching the Shrek 3 trailer, I went to IMDB to see what child actor was the voice of the prepubescent not-yet-king Arthur. The answer? Justin Timberlake. Some jokes just write themselves.

Zach Braff ends his run of self-awaking, coming-of-age dark comedies and goes for the standard RomCom in The Ex. Might be good.

Transformers and TMNT!? I'm in heaven. Do we call this the Saturday Morning Summer? Additional goodness: they brought back the original Optimus Prime (Peter Cullen) and Donatello will be voiced by Barry the Dentist from Friends. You heard it here first.

Too bad they didn't wait to release Garfield until this year - that was my Saturday morning staple!
Concerning Zach, is it possible to have a 'run' if you've only made two steps/films? Even if you take two steps really fast, it's more like a hop-jump or a skip or something.

I'm going to bed now...

hey, you're not phantom...

i think of it as a run since garden state and the last kiss were the only live action movies he had done before the ex.

MATTHEW ROGERS BARHAM!!! I'm gonna be in Winston-Salem next weekend, you should stop by. Send me an email (dbaxter9@gmail.com) or something.

Yay. More Santa movies... Didn't they see the Santa Clause trilogy?

Shrek 3. Weak.

This summer should be good. I'm definitely going to see both of those "Saturday morning cartoon" movies when I get the chance. We'll have to see how much free time my summer internship allows...

Question: Have you found an NFL equivalent of Cot's baseball contracts? I'm wanting to know about the Rams contract situations.

USA Today has a database, sortable by team, player and position, but it doesn't have the 2006 numbers up yet. Same thing for theredzone.org.
