Rainn Wilson Talks HESHER, SUPER, GALAXY QUEST, and His Jay Roach Produced Renaissance Fair Movie

With writer/director Spencer Susser’s Hesher getting released this weekend, I recently got to sit down with the cast and Susser to talk about the film.  Before going any further, if you haven’t seen the trailer, I suggest checking it out here.  While the summer is filled with huge explosions and movies that cost hundreds of millions of dollars, I promise you…none of them feature a main character as crazy as Hesher.  Playing the lead is Joseph Gordon-Levitt and it’s an awesome performance. The film also stars Rainn Wilson, Natalie Portman, and Devin Brochu.

While I already posted my video interviews with Susser and Gordon-Levitt, I’ve got one more and it’s with Rainn Wilson.  During the interview we talked about the positive response to Super, what attracted him to Hesher, what was it like on set, and we also talked about what’s the last video game he’s played, does he ever get recognized from being in Galaxy Quest, and what is he working on now.  Hit the jump to watch.

GALAXY QUEST Blu-ray Review

by Andre Dellamorte    Posted: November 24th, 2009 at 9:30 pm

When you talk about the year of cinema that was 1999, there are the films that come immediately. Fight Club, The Sixth Sense, The Matrix, Eyes Wide Shut. I love The Insider, have a soft spot for eXistenZ and Three Kings and then it starts getting complicated, as films like American Beauty, Girls Don’t Cry, and The Green Mile haven’t exactly weathered as well, while films like Office Space have only grown in estimation.  At the time, most wouldn’t have listed Galaxy Quest as one of the great films of 1999, and yet ten years later, someone like David Mamet can call it a perfect movie. And it is. By Grabthar’s Hammer, my review of Galaxy Quest after the jump.

GALAXY QUEST – Deluxe Edition DVD Review

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: June 14th, 2009 at 1:09 am

It’s tough to call “Galaxy Quest” a cult hit.  It was a box office success back when it hit theatres ten years ago.  It grossed $70 million off a budget of $45 million but that actually puts it in a weird middle ground.  It doesn’t have the ardent cult following that boosted films like “The Big Lebowski” or “Fight Club” and when you have any film led by Tim Allen, the gut reaction appears to be “Well that’s forgettable, at best.”

But no matter how you want to gauge the film’s popularity, DreamWorks has rightfully seen fit to issue it a deluxe edition that’s superior to their original issue of the DVD in just about every way.
