40 Great Actor & Director Partnerships →
A handful of them I did not agree with (um, Will Ferrell and Adam McKay?); a few of them pleasantly surprised me; and most of them were dead on. This list also shed light on just how many classics I have yet to see. Got to get started…

Why Isn't Zoe Saldana More Famous? →
Though this is an interesting question, I disagree with the article’s arguments. I first noticed Zoe back when she did Guess Who, and consequently caught her in Pirates of the Caribbean (as Anamaria), and have noticed her since. To put it simply, the reason why she’s not a household name is because she hasn’t been in many starring roles. Yes, she was in Star Trek and Avatar...

Monday Night Poll: Do Foul-Mouthed Kids Offend... →
This definitely makes me uneasy, even though I’m a foul-mouth (kid) as well. But every time she dropped any kind of bomb (the non-explosive kind) I would turn to make sure that mother sitting in my row was covering her child’s ears.

Jackson fined for comments on Durant →
This is ridiculous. All for speaking his mind in regards to shady officiating. Sports have become way too touchy.

This sounds very interesting and slightly The Dark Tower-ish. And anything with Vera Farmiga is worth watching, especially a western.

What Are the Oscar Favorites This Summer? →
I cannot believe Robin Hood is rated PG-13. Now I know it can’t be all that good. And as Childress said, “if we want the real story, we want the blood and guts too.”

The Tickr: Phil Mickelson Wins The 2010 Masters →

If restoring the roar was the goal this week at fabled Augusta National Golf Club, then mission accomplished. They say the Masters doesn’t begin until the back nine on Sunday and that couldn’t have been more true again this year. The roars were back!

I’m excited for this. And not just because Ryan Reynolds is hot.

Ridley Scott And Russell Crowe Eyeing 'Robin Hood'... →
A Robin Hood movie focused on the sheriff instead of Robin Hood, possibly even portraying Robin Hood as the villain, is a movie I would be more excited to see than the one that was actually made.
Also, I have issues with what Russell Crowe says about comparisons to Gladiator. Yes it’s true, Gladiator will be the highlight of his career and he’ll never be in a better movie....

I love Emile Hirsch. He’s a terrific actor and it’s nice to see him in movies again (I feel like it’s been forever).

I’ve been reading about this for a while, but I can’t really believe that they want to “reboot” the franchise. It hasn’t been in theaters since, what, 4 years ago? And their plan is to “go younger” and look into Spiderman’s “origins”. Isn’t that exactly what the first Spiderman was? I am completely confused by the direction of this...

Let's Not Make Sam Worthington a Mega Action Star →
As much as I like him and think he’s hot, I tend to agree. He’s extremely average and after reading this article, I couldn’t think of a single memorable moment of his.

Chris Evans wins Captain America role →
A bit delayed, but my reaction to this is not all positive. I just don’t see him as a goodie two shoes that is blatantly cocky.
