It started off as the greatest faux trailer on the planet when co-writer/co-director Robert Rodriguez contributed Machete to Quentin Tarantino's Grindhouse.  Crowds cheered and laughed.  We all walked out thinking this would be a great movie if they decided to make it, and they did!  OK.  It turns out it's not great, but it is good.

If you watch the commercials for The Last Exorcism, you'd think it was just another, run of the mill, B-level horror movie destined for the discount DVD bin at Wal-Mart.  

You might even think it is a sequel to The Exorcist.

However, The Last Exorcism is the kind of brilliant movie that doesn't come along every day.  It's fun scary that lets us laugh at the brilliance, the set ups and the payoffs.

At first glance, it seems like a sweet story.  However, like almost everything on the internet, it possibly possesses an evil, nasty, nefarious dark side (that might lead to porn).

Read about Catfish, and see Willie's interviews with the stars and directors.

Dinner for Schmucks is one good scene in search of an entire movie.

Paul Rudd stars as Tim - an analyst at a private equity firm looking to move up the ladder after one of his co-workers is fired. After a great deal of hard work and brilliant strategy, he has found a potential new client that could mean big bucks, so the boss, Lance Fender (Bruce Greenwood), invites Tim to a special dinner where each invitee brings a different eccentric personality they can all mock.
