Wreck-It Ralph, 2012.
Directed by Rich Moore.
Featuring the voice talents of John C. Reilly, Sarah Silverman, Jane Lynch, Jack McBrayer, Alan Tudyk, Mindy Kaling, Joe Lo Truglio, Ed O'Neill and Dennis Haysbert.
Synopsis:
A video game villain wants to be a hero and sets out to fulfill his dream, but his quest brings havoc to the whole arcade where he lives.
When the trailer was released for Wreck-It Ralph, I immediately knew I was going to love it. As someone who grew up going down to the local bowling alley to play the arcades rather than tackle the pins, this was a movie that was right up my street as an homage to all the things I love about video games. But with a lot of personal hype, could Wreck-It Ralph live up to its expectations?
First off, it should be noted that the trailer for the movie caught a »

The 2012 RopeofSilicon Movie Awards
22 January 2013 8:01 AM, PST | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »
The 2012 RopeofSilicon Movie Awards 2012 was a curious year for movies. To look at a year in movies at a glance we often turn straight to blockbusters and in the case of 2012 it may seem as if it really wasn't that great a year. Then you begin to drill down deeper and even films that divided the audience created large amounts of discussions, and beyond blockbusters there were plenty of middle ground to small-budget indie features that were quite powerful. As far as discussion pieces go, here on RopeofSilicon a lot of time was dedicated to divisive films as The Grey, Prometheus and Looper. A conversation involving the ending of The Grey was quite popular, I posed theories on Looper's theme more than once, the Zero Dark Thirty torture controversy was annoying, but necessary and the movie that probably generated the most conversation was Prometheus, of which I wrote a massive six-page exploratory article. »

Anna Faris To Star In Chuck Lorre's CBS Sitcom Pilot
6 January 2013 12:09 PM, PST | Access Hollywood | See recent Access Hollywood news »
Life is imitating art for Anna Faris - the actress gave birth to her first child in August and now, she's set to play a mom on the small screen.
The 36-year-old funny gal, best known for her roles in "The Dictator," "The House Bunny," "Just Friends" and the "Scary Movie" franchise, has nabbed the starring role in Chuck Lorre's upcoming CBS comedy pilot, "Mom," according to TV Line.
The multi-camera sitcom will center around Faris as a "newly sober single mom" who (perhaps not-so-wisely) chooses California's wine shrine Napa Valley as her home, the website reported.

Los Angeles, Jan 6: Comedian Sacha Baron Cohen says he was compelled to opt out of Quentin Tarantino's western "Django Unchained" due to his busy schedule.
The actor says he didn't have time to shoot a scene as he was busy editing and releasing "The Dictator" and filming "Les Miserables". He admits it was a tough decision to have to let the Tarantino film go.

Anna Faris cast in the title role of Chuck Lorre's pilot, 'Mom'
4 January 2013 11:40 AM, PST | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
Chuck Lorre's newest effort in the TV world has found its leading lady. Anna Faris has been cast in the title role of Lorre's sitcom pilot, "Mom." What sort of mother figure are we getting?
Faris, known mostly for her comedy film roles in the "Scary Movie" franchise, "The House Bunny" and "The Dictator," will play a newly sober single mother in "Mom" (as first reported by TVLine). The series will follow Faris' character as she tries to pull her life together while working in the wine-soaked Napa Valley.
The script for "Mom," comes from Lorre, who co-wrote it with "Two and a Half Men" producers Eddie Gorodetsky and Gemma Baker. Assuming that this newest comedy gets picked up to series for the fall of 2013, Lorre will presumably have four sitcoms airing on CBS at the same time. "The Big Bang Theory" has always been renewed for the upcoming season, »
