Unfortunatley we've had to edit the content on this episode at the last minute, we were planning on covering the new releases as usual but, much to our shock and dismay, Fast & Furious actor Paul Walker was killed in a car wreck yesterday afternoon. While we will still be covering this week's releases we thought it better to remember the career of yet another actor that we've lost far too young. 

 

Paul Walker

1973-2013

May the odds be forever in our favor as we return to the 12 districts of The Hunger Games as we break down the second installment of the hit series. Then we discover why sarcasm has become so rampant....Vince Vaughn fathered thousands of kids! We'll talk his new movie Delivery Man.

It's the first of many times in the next few months that we'll probably be using the word's "Best Movie of the Year", though I think this week is said most in earnest. Gravity the stuck in space drama featuring George Clooney and Sandra Bullock is drawing comments from "Best movie of the Year"  to "Pushing the bounds of cinema!". Then we have Justin Timberlake facting up against Ben Affleck in the off-shore gambling thriller Runner, Runner.
