Even the New York Times has noticed how there are more fat guys in the movies than fat guys at the movies. And they name them. We too are not afraid to name names.

For all intents and purposes, this film is getting a lot of positive reviews that, upon reading, aren’t really positive at all. Why would a film that champions newspaper reporting get such praise from newspaper-based critics?

Kevin Carr reviews this week’s new movies: State of Play, Crank: High Voltage and 17 Again.

When veteran print reporter Cal McAffrey (Russell Crowe) begins investigating the murder of a young drug addict and notes connections to a story regarding the supposedly accidental death of one of Congressman Stephen Collins’s (Ben Affleck) aides, he teams up with the newspaper’s political blogger Della Frye (Rachel McAdams) and digs deep enough to find a major corporate conspiracy that threatens the democrat nature of our homeland security.

Neil has his tail between his legs because he hasn’t seen any movies this week, but he still maintains that he is awesome. Kevin enjoyed a nice dose of Zefron, and the Fat Guys remember two important things: If you white, you Ben Affleck; and Chic-fil-A is delicious!

Ridley Scott’s untitled Robin Hood film has started shooting with Russell Crowe and Cate Blanchett taking on the roles of Robin Hood and Maid Marion. This is the fifth collaboration between Crowe and Scott.

It’s rare, but it looks like a leading actress has been fired for being too attractive.

For fun, having already watched the trailer, watch it again… but this time imagine Brad Pitt as the reporter and Ed Norton as the Congressman. They were originally cast in the roles but dropped out due to scheduling conflicts. It would have been their first onscreen reunion after Fight Club.

Producer Brian Grazer attempts to clear up some of the confusion about Nottingham, mostly focusing on how many characters Russell Crowe will be playing.

A stumbling block for myself as a big, fat American who doesn’t understand all the nuances of Middle Eastern politics is that the movie was often hard to follow.

Even though devout Muslims aren’t allowed to drink, you can when you go see Body of Lies.

Kevin and Neil welcome a bevy of guests to the Magical Studio in the Sky for a special edition of Fat Guys at the Movies.

Our resident cynic Rob Hunter calls major bullshit on the latest rumors coming out of Ridley Scott’s Nottingham project, even though the word appears to have come from the director himself.

“Sources” are telling the folks at JoBlo that Colin Farrell is in talks to star alongside Downey’s Holmes as Watson. We want to know if you are buying it…

Some of you are smart enough to get the joke, others will have to look inside to see what the hell I’m talking about. Most of you don’t care, do you?

Without question, this proves once again that the full trailer is always much better than the teaser. It looks like we could actually have a really good international spy thriller on our hands here, a subgenre that all too often gets mishandled.

The first trailer for Ridley Scott’s new action and intrigue movie, Body of Lies, has hit the web. Have a look for yourself and tell us what you think.

We have heard very little about this project since last fall, yet this past week has seen an explosion of news — some rumors and some truths — that have begun to bring the other denizens of Nottingham into focus.

Norton, and this new Hulk film should successfully help eradicate any memory of Bruce Bana, Crazy ole’ Nick Nolte and Ang Lee’s gamma poodles. So I began to think to myself, ‘If not Edward Norton, who else could possibly fill Hulk’s huge purple pants?’ , and thus I came up with this fun list for Hulk couldabeens.

Director Doug Liman (Mr. and Mrs. Smith, The Bourne Identity) has his eye on Russell Crowe for the role of Valerie Plame’s husband, Joe Wilson.
