Browns Could Look To Trade Up In First Round
The major shakeup that Mike Holmgren is making in Cleveland is leading to a higher probability of trading up in the first round to grab either Sam Bradford or Jimmy Clausen. Today Holmgren even said that the team would consider drafting a QB at #7 or trading up to get one. The Browns have amassed a ton of draft picks as they now hold 12 of them including three third rounders. That surplus of draft picks sounds great but it would be a lot to ask to pay every one of them. Looking at the draft...

Another Name Being Considered For Captain America
Having passed the self-imposed deadline of March 1st for deciding who will get the role of Steve Rogers aka Captain America, the rumors continue to swirl with yet another new name added to the list of those seen as final candidates. Ryan Phillippe has emerged for the first time as reported by HitFix. He is definitely on the older side of things at 35 and that could make it difficult to see him in this role.

Review: Green Zone
I've found myself to really enjoy movies with modern war themes, especially ones with a layer of conspiracy, and definitely count myself amongst fans of Paul Greengrass and Matt Damon. So I went into Green Zone fully expecting to like it and wanted to to temper my reaction to evaluate it for what it was and avoid being influenced by my personal tendencies. Green Zone ended up taking care of that for me though. It wasn't as fulfilling as I had hoped, and tracked into political grounds that were...

Alice In Wonderland Wins Second Straight Weekend
As expected Alice in Wonderland came in #1 having fended off four new entries in theaters. All four of them actually came in under industry expectations but in the same order that most expected. Alice has now made over $200 million but will have only one more weekend with most of the 3D screens. Green Zone, the Matt Damon and Paul Greengrass re-teaming, came in under $15 million despite a strong marketing push and ties to the Bourne franchise. Reviews have been mixed (mine will be up today ...

The event provided the first opportunity for media types to try out the game's splitscreen multiplayer. That doesn't mean that there weren't still issues present. I'm still not a huge fan of how Backbreaker handles running the ball outside and switching players...
