The Basic:
June 20, 2003. That was the release date of Ang Lee's The Hulk. Now, I didn't google release dates to find this out. I know this because at the time I was BEYOND excited. I counted down months, weeks, days until June 20, 2003. See, I'm a little biased. I'm a DIE HARD Hulk fan.
From his early days doing stand-up comedy -- appearing on Star Search and the groundbreaking HBO series Def Comedy Jam -- right up until 2008, Martin Lawrence has been making people laugh. Sure, his audience may have changed over the last 20 years, but he's still starring in #1 movies (look no further than last year's Wild Hogs).

The Basic:
It took 19 years for George Lucas, Steven Spielberg and Harrison Ford to reconnect and once again put together an Indiana Jones flick. This one has a cast that really mixes it up. You've got the return of Harrison Ford as one of the most iconic characters in movie history, and Karen Allen returns as Marion Ravenwood (Indy's love interest).

Let's face it, being a writer for a fairly high profile entertainment and movie website can be both stressful and fun. The fun comes with the perks of seeing movies early and for free, and getting piles of promotional swag. Theatrical one sheets, free DVDs, free t-shirts -- you name it, I get it.

Greg Grunberg may not be a name that you can place, but you most likely know his face and his work.
