Once upon a time there was a beloved cartoon on Saturday mornings.  Director Tim Hill (the guy who gave us Garfield: A Tale of Two Kitties and Max Keeble’s Big Movie) gives us a new live action/CGI version staring Jason Lee, David Cross, Cameron Richardson and Justin Long, Matthew Gray Gubler, and Jesse McCartney as the voices of the chipmunks.  Check out the official site.  The film steps out of the tube and onto the screen on Friday.  Larger trailer, plus a scene from the 1983 film, available in the Full Diagnosis.

Well, the cast for 2010’s Justice League of America is finally set.  The final two spots, those of Batman and Wonder Woman, have been given to Armie Hammer and Australian model Megan Gale.  Also of interest is the reported casting of Zoe Kazan in the role of Iris Allen and rumors of a funeral for Barry Allen (Woody Harrelson???) being incorporated into the film.  Interesting…  The rest of the cast, in case you forgot since the last time we reminded you, includes Scott Porter (Superman), Adam Broady (The Flash), Common (Green Lantern), and Teresa Palmer as Talia (the daughter of Ra’s al Ghul).  To compare how the actors measure up to their comic book counterparts check out the Full Diagnosis.  You’ll know more when we do!
