We have been lazy this week, leading to a lack of a Saturday ‘Shouting Match.’ And we need to cover these Independent Spirit Awards at some point. So screw it, we’ll do them together, live.

The brilliant British actor took some time out from his hosting prep to talk to us about the world of indie film, his role at the Independent Spirit Awards, and a few details about his recurring role as a 3-inch tall figurine.

An adaptation of Craig Murray’s “Murder in Samarkand” with Michael Winterbottom at the helm and Steve Coogan in the starring role is sadly stalled indefinitely.

The equivalent of the wallflower you knew in high school that blossomed into a college beauty, here are eleven films that flew under the radar in 2008.

Forget the Best and the Worst of 2008. These are the actors, directors and producers that made the biggest impact on the world of film and how they might impact us in 2009.

USA Today has posted some first look photos from Night at the Museum 2, the family friendly follow-up to the hit 2006 film directed by Shawn Levy.

Paramount Pictures has officially released the documentary behind the movie Tropic Thunder, known as Rain of Madness, online for free on iTunes. It also includes a few surprises.

We had a chance recently to see the film and meet British comedian Steve Coogan at the AMC Theater near Navy Pier in Chicago to talk about Dana Marschz and comedy, in general.

I can’t think of a movie in recent history that has the same feel and attitude, or even remotely the same story. It’s creative and it’s unique. You don’t find that sort of thing at the movies nowadays.

Neil is grumpy this week, and Kevin takes full advantage of his weakness for the show.

Writer Pam Brady and director Andrew Fleming assured me they were drunk during the entire writing process. So why not enjoy their movie in the same state of mind?

With quotes this big, you would think that Owen Gleiberman of Entertainment Weekly and Peter Travers of Rolling Stone were official sponsors of the upcoming film Hamlet 2.

If you are yet to gain insight into the shenanigans at hand in Hamlet 2, perhaps you should check out the following video clips, which were sent over to us by the fine folks at Focus Features this afternoon.

Our video squad caught up with the filmmakers and stars of the upcoming comedy Hamlet 2 at Comic-Con. Their mission: figure out what all this “Sexy Jesus” tomfoolery is all about.

Now that Comic-Con is over and we are done collecting all of the free stuff that we could set our eyes on, we have decided to go back to doing what we do best: hooking you up with the coolest movie-related freebies on the web.

Another clip has been revealed from the behind the scenes faux doc Rain of Madness, which chronicles the making of Tropic Thunder. This time, Steve Coogan and Jack Black have a little tiff.

Do you have Sexy Jesus in your life? If you are at Comic-Con this year, you just might have have the opportunity to see him first hand.

German documentarian Jan Jürgen was contracted to document the making of what was said to be the most controversial Vietnam War drama of all-time. We have already seen the trailer for his film, and thanks to his blog over at RainofMadness.com, we can also follow along every step of the way.

Is it a little odd that I am ready to forgo the theatrical release of Paramount’s Tropic Thunder in hopes that I could just skip right to the DVD release?

Every theater teacher I have ever met has been, to say the least, just a little off. So when you think about it, the premise behind the film Hamlet 2 is not only relatable, it is also possibly brilliant.
