The 6 Degrees of Michael Cera


Since busting on to the scene with Arrested Development in 2003, Michael Cera has worked with many of today’s most popular comedians, and you’d have to be living under a rock to not have seen at least one of his films. Some say he is risking overexposure. But I say Cera has been steadily working toward Kevin Bacon status, developing a film career worthy of his own 6 degrees game.

To be a truly effective Party Game Icon, Cera would have to link to a variety of film actors to allow for a range of players to participate:

  • a major Hollywood star (for casual movie fans)
  • an international film star (for film students)
  • an independent film star (for hipsters)
  • a film star from Hollywood’s golden age (for anyone over 25).

As you can see below – Cera’s plotted his course well:

‘X-Men: First Class’ Kills Magneto’s Movie


Ian McKellen as Magneto

Recently X-Men: First Class producer, Lauren Shuler Donner, spoke with Crave about the upcoming addition to the X-Men franchise. Among the nuggets she dropped for eager fan boys was a potentially crushing one: the Magneto solo movie is no more.

What we know so far about X-Men: First Class is it will be set in the 1960s, and Magneto will be played by thirty-three year old Michael Fassbender while Charles Xavier will be played by thirty-one year old James McAvoy. Donner explained that X-Men: First Class takes on much of Magneto’s origin using “Magneto history. Stuff from the Marvel/Magneto history”, thereby cooling any interest in a lone Magneto feature.

New Poster for ‘Buried’

New Poster for ‘Buried’


With a Saul Bass-inspired poster having been shown to us a few months ago, the new poster for the Ryan Reynolds thriller Buried is now filled with quotes from critics who have seen the film. It’s a pretty well crafted piece of marketing material, and you can enjoy it in all of its glory below (via LatinoReview).

The plot of Buried follows Ryan Reynolds as Paul Conroy, a “U.S. contractor working in Iraq. After an attack by a group of Iraqis he wakes to find he is buried alive inside a coffin. With only a lighter and a cell phone it’s a race against time to escape this claustrophobic death trap.” I like pretty much everything we’ve seen from the movie so far, and I think that this could really be a lot of fun. The film is scheduled for release on September 24th.

What do you think of this poster? Are you excited for Buried?
