So far Jon Favreau’s casting choices for his Iron Man movie have been impeccable, with Robert Downey Jr signing on as Tony Stark and Terence Howard signing on as Rhodey, but maybe Favs’ well only runs so deep. He seems to be stuck in regards to casting one of… Continue reading
I wonder when Clint Eastwood decided to make a companion film for Flags of Our Fathers, his movie about the famous photo of the flag raising at Iwo Jima in WWII. Did he decide to make the other film (Letters From Iwo Jima, a look at the bloody battle from the… Continue reading

Reading Linda Stein’s tale of woe, “How I Was Duped by Ali G,” it becomes glaringly obvious why this woman not only made it into the Borat movie but why she’s in the trailer: she’s a self-righteous ding dong with no sense of humor. If you’ve seen the trailer… Continue reading
