The folks at our sister site
Cinematical are working hard to give you news and reviews of the best -- and worst -- the silver screen has to offer. Here are some of their musings on the latest blockbusters, indies, and everything in between:
- I don't really understand this whole Twilight phenomenon, but I'm pretty sure the success of those damn glittery vampires is directly proportional to the huge boner America seems to have for American Idol contestant Adam Lambert. Anyway, if that's the sort of thing you're into, I have one word for you: TwiCon!
- I originally heard this story on NPR (what's up, NPR name-dropping nerd?) and thought it was fascinating. I want the movie to be good, but the trailers haven't exactly been setting my world on fire. Read Cinematical's review of The Soloist and see if it's worth checking out.
- Regardless of how good or bad The Soloist is, I'll still love Robert Downey, Jr. Cinematical Seven takes a look at Underrated Robert Downey, Jr. movies.
- I'm really interested in seeing The Carter, the Lil' Wayne documentary. My interest has only grown since I've heard that Lil Wayne wants to block The Carter's release. Perhaps that was his plan all along? Well played, Master Wayne.
- Jamie Foxx playing Mike Tyson in a biopic? Okay, I'm in.

My favorite is the various clips of Mike Tyson being, well, Mike Tyson.

I feel icky even reporting on these
two reality outings from Mike Tyson and Brigitte Nielsen, but it's my jobs, folks.
After making a cameo appearance on
Being Bobby Brown, former heavyweight champ, convicted rapist and infamous ear biter Mike Tyson wants a show of his own. Tyson is shopping around a concept featuring himself, his daughter Mikey and Don King's granddaughter. The show would focus on their family dynamic, but also on Mikey, who is launching a plus-size clothing line. The concept is a bore, but the show is all about the Iron Mike freak factor. It's the kind of celebrity warmed-over reality show that I feel uncomfortable watching, which is why I'm not a network programmer. I'm sure it will sell like gangbusters.
