Since the beginning of The Movie Mash, we have been using Intense Debate as the commenting format. Unfortunately that system has been causing me some unnecessary headaches, so I have decided to switch. Disqus is a far superior format, allowing the best possible discussion on the site. Creating a profile is quick and easy. Just go to Disqus.com, make a profile and you’re set. Do this ASAP, so the “Top Commenters” feature can get up and running again.

Thanks all!

As Matt, Travis and I cannot provide reviews, news and profiles for every movie, I was proposed some help from a good friend of mine. Many of you know this man, his name is Kenny Smith. Kenny is a recent U of M grad and has an affinity for indie flicks. While he enjoys all genres of films, Kenny has a special place in his heart for low-budget, character-driven films that don’t usually open with huge box-office numbers. Kenny will have a special segment on the movie mash called Kendogg Billionaire, The Indie Masher, where he provides film reviews and profiles of movies that can usually only be seen at the Lagoon or the Uptown Theater. Kenny’s first contribution will be his review of Away We Go, the new film from Sam Mendes starring John Krasinski and Maya Rudolph. Please welcome Kenny to The Movie Mash.

As most of you Movie Mashers well know, Hollywood and Fox Studios was recently taken by storm due to the catastrophic DVD-quality online leak of X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Now, when this originally happened a couple weeks ago, a friend of mine, (let’s just call him Izzy) downloaded the film and was desperate to watch it, due to his affection for comic-book adaptations. But I stayed strong, vowing that there are only 3 to 4 blockbusters a year that REQUIRE a theater experience. Then a friend sent me the absolutely shocking ending of the film, that I could not resist. Watch at your own risk.

JK! LOL! Totes Magotes got you!
