Variations on a Theme: The Seven Faces of Michael Cera

One of the most frequent criticisms leveled against Michael Cera is that he plays the same character in every single one of his roles, like some alternate-universe John Cusack circa the ‘80s. This is basically true—Cera’s bread is buttered on the nerdy, awkwardly-endearing side, and he seems to have had no problems cashing paychecks made out to George Michael Bluth these last few years. But at the same time, each of the characters he’s played have had their own quirks and charms, enough for him to maybe, kinda make the case that he’s also a man of many hats. Well,...  read more

Catching Up With... In Search of a Midnight Kiss' Alex Holdridge

But now the 29-year-old is rebounding with an autobiographical film about, well, rebounding: the smart, sexy, black-and-white gem In Search of a Midnight Kiss, released Aug. 1 by IFC. Paste recently talked with the...  read more

Pineapple Express/Superbad crossover in the works?

A crossover between two of Judd Apatow's most recent comedies might seem like it's jumping the gun a little bit, or that it's the product of a hash session between the stars of Pineapple Express. Of course, that doesn't change the fact that it sounds like a totally awesome idea....  read more

Rhymes With Five: Tears of shame

Who doesn't love a good ole inappropriate response every once in a while? I sure do! And rather than out in public-- where busting out laughing over a stranger tripping on the sidewalk or bawling at the sight of a dad playing with his little kids in the park elicits, at best, disapproving stares-- I find that the cool, still darkness of movie theaters are some of the best places to work out my awkwardly misplaced emotions. Among friends and family, my tendency to cry during movies at completely unexpected moments is well-noted. My tear ducts have remained steadfastly dry...  read more
