Ok, this could get confusing. At least for pea-brains like mine. Dreamworks/Paramount has released a new trailer for Tropic Thunder’s mockumentary, “Rain of Madness,” which talks about what happened during the shooting of the movie within the movie. Got that?
Tropic Thunder opens August 15, 2008, and stars Ben Stiller, Jack Black, and Robert […]

In my hockey days I often wished that a producer would stumble upon me at practice, take a liking to my sweaty, stinky, beet red face and sign me to a modelling contract. Althought that falls into the “not bloody likely” realm for yours truly, that’s precisely what happened to Tina Menzhal, an amateur […]
