Ali Starzyk EDITOR I'm so sick of the lack of creativity in today's film industry. It's driving me absolutely crazy, going to tons of movies but basically seeing the same thing each time. Seriously, we need help. Every generation of movie-makers before us have given something classic to the art of film that has enhanced cinema, whether it be making characters more palpable, interesting directions to take plot, whatever. What are we giving the future of this medium to work it? I'm... Read Full Story

My movie review today is about the new comedy starring Simon Pegg - How to Lose Friends & Alienate People .  You will remember Simon Pegg from Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz .  You will probably not remember him being funny in either of those films, which is understandable.  For about the first hour of How to Lose Friends & Alienate People , he had me fooled.  Along side Simon Pegg is the super fucking hot Megan Fox (who cannot really act worth a damn, but who gives a shit anyhow), Kirsten...

Overweight lingerie store security guard Dennis (Simon Pegg) is still desperately in love with his ex-girlfriend Libby (Thandie Newton). The only problem is that he happened to leave her - while she was pregnant, mind you - on their wedding day, leaping out the back window of the church when his nerves suddenly got the better of him. Truth is, the usually sweet and charming (if a bit lazy) man hasn't finished a darn thing in his entire life, so when he gets it into his head the only way he... Read Full Story

Simon Pegg has come a long way in a short time. It's rare that an actor, particularly a comedian, can forge his own way and rise to the top so quickly, but it was just four years ago that only a small percentage of Americans knew who he was, a by product of being on British television. Shaun of the Dead put him on the radar, along with co-writer and director Edgar Wright and his friend and co-star Nick Frost. Since then, we've seen Pegg in Hot Fuzz (re-teaming with his mates...
