Forget about Siskel & Ebert, Kurt Loder and all the rest. When it comes to true, nuanced film criticism, two of the most knowledgeable cinephiles around are Method Man and Redman. So as we inch closer to Sunday’s MTV Movie Awards, we tracked down the high-flying duo for their thoughts on this year’s best films.
“This past year?” asked Redman, who was partying at Hollywood nightclub Highland with his Wu-Tang friend. “'Zack and Miri Make a Porno.'”
“Mine goes back a little,” Meth said, “but I’d say ‘Hard Candy’ kinda f--ked me up in the head. Go get it. It’s a good one.” Read more...
George Lucas is finally realizing his decades-long dream of producing a film about the Tuskegee Airmen, and the wildly unique cast includes Cuba Gooding Jr. and Method Man. The Anthony Hemingway-directed flick "Red Tails" has popped up from time to time for Lucas in interviews, but an announcement today indicates that he has his actors and they're ready to suit up and start production.
“I’ve been wanting to do 'Red Tails' for 20 years, and we’ve finally got the means to showcase the skill of the Tuskegee pilots,” Lucas said in the press release. “We’re working on techniques which will give us the first true look at the aerial dogfighting of the era.

Everyone's got their Christian Bale imitation going right now. But you and I are not Method Man, are we? So when Meth himself broke out a little impromptu Bale riff in the middle of our Greatest Movie Badasses panel at Comic-Con, we let out a hearty laugh. As we say in the clip, nothing is more badass than a meltdown on the set, right?
Whose meltdown do you prefer? Christian's or Meth's?
FROM SPLASH PAGE: He's a member of the seminal Wu-Tang Clan, one of the hardest-working rappers in the game and has the tough-as-nails street cred to back it up. So it's probably surprising that in a money-down, hardcore comic book trivia game, our bet would be on Meth, no questions asked.
Owning an astonishing 25,000 comics, the rapper-turned-actor knows his four-color floppies inside and out. And if there's one title at the top of his list, it's Mark Millar and John Romita Jr.'s "Kick-Ass," the ultra-bloody comic that director Matthew Vaughn is turning into a film starring Nic Cage and Christopher Mintz-Plasse. And if Method Man has anything to say about it, you can add him to that casting roster too. Read More...
