Not enough Shia in this trailer, but fair play - Gekko is obviously the better connection to the first flick. Not the tone I thought they’d be going for, either. Still, I like it.
SUNDANCE EXCLUSIVE: Check Out Ryan Reynolds In The... →
Ryan Reynolds should be the biggest star on the planet. Can’t wait until he is.
This flick looks interesting. Reynolds is a contractor working in Iraq who is taken prisoner and trapped in a coffin underground with a phone and a torch. His captors want a million dollars or Reynolds is left to die.
Can Reynolds carry an entire film for 90 minutes? Sure he can.

Family groups in Oz are upset about Kick Ass, the movie directed by Matt Vaughn (Layer Cake, Stardust)based on the comic by Mark Millar and John Romita Jr about a kid (Aaron Johnson) who takes up superheroing despite having no powers.

Interesting story from Cinematical about the Writers Guild of America’s screenplay awards. Hollywood politics - craziness.
February 2010: Vanessa Grigoriadis on Twitter |... →
Vanity Fair’s incredibly condescending article about women who use Twitter, including actress/writer/producer Felicia Day, online strategist Amy Jo Martin, and publicist Sarah Evans. Way to belittle the acheivements of some very successful women, Vanessa.
See Felicia’s response to this article here.
Sony announces 3D TV →
From CNet: “Sony announced two new content deals at the event: the company would be working with ESPN to produce a new dedicated “ESPN 3D” channel, and also producing a “3D cable network” partnering with IMAX and Discovery.”
