Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto talk Star Trek
May 10, 2009 by Jane Boursaw
Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto have been doing interviews left and right for "Star Trek," and they sat down with Paul Byrne of Movies.ie and talked about re-creating – or NOT re-creating, as the case may be – the iconic characters of Capt. Kirk and Spock.
Quinto’s amazing lack of emotion when Spock interacts onscreen with the beautiful Zoe Saldana (Uhura) also came up. "Star Trek" is in theaters right now, and I loved it. Read my review here.

Carla Gugino sat down with Paul Byrne of Movies.ie and talked about her movie career, including the fact that she always seems to play analysts and scientists. Gugino is currently in theaters as an aging femme fatale in “Watchmen,” and a UFO specialist in “Race to Witch Mountain” with Dwayne Johnson and AnnaSophia Robb. It’s a really fun action movie with nothing too objectionable for kids. Read my review here, and check out the clip below:
Nicolas Cage talks Knowing, religion – VIDEO

I’ve been posting Paul Byrne’s interviews with Movies.ie for a while now, and if you haven’t figured it out yet, I’m a big fan. I’m convinced that Paul must take his interviewees through some yoga moves first, because they always seem so thoughtful and meditative.
Nicolas Cage is usually pretty thoughtful in interviews anyway, and he and Paul sat down and discussed his new movie "Knowing," religion, changing his last name, and everything in between.

Comedian Kevin James sat down with Paul Byrne of Movies.ie and talked about his movie "Paul Blart: Mall Cop" (loved it – read my review here), as well as his upcoming movie, "The Zookeeper."
Turns out Kevin never thought about being a stand-up comedian! Watch the video and listen as he talks about having fun at the family dinner table and going into the movie business. He seems like the kind of guy you could sit down and have buffalo wings with.

Hugh Dancy (I like to think of him as Darling Hugh Dancy) is currently in theaters in “Confessions of a Shopaholic.” The story pairs him with Isla Fisher, who plays a girl obsessed with shopping.
Based on the “Shopaholic” books by Sophie Kinsella, I loved this movie and wouldn’t mind seeing it again. Read my review here, and check out Hugh’s interview with Paul Byrne of Movies.ie:
Angela Bassett Talks “Notorious B.I.G.” – VIDEO
February 16, 2009 by Jane Boursaw
I really haven’t heard much about “Notorious B.I.G.,” but it’s got plenty of star power. Directed by George Tillman, Jr., it stars Derek Luke as Sean Puffy Combs, Jamal Woolard as Christopher “Notorious B.I.G.” Wallace, and Angela Bassett as his mother, Voletta Wallace. In theaters Jan. 16, 2009, the film tells the story of Notorious B.I.G., who went from Brooklyn to living large as a rap star. Paul Byrne of Movies.ie caught up with Bassett:

Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet have done hundreds of interviews for “Revolutionary Road” (5 out of 5 Geckos from me) over the past month or so. Here DiCaprio sits down with Paul Byrne from Movies.ie (I’m loving his interviews).
