Mortal Kombat isn’t the most esteemed video game franchise, but its coterie of bloodthirsty fighters is one of the most beloved in gaming history. Sure, the 1995 movie adaptation was a dud, but it was a magnificent dud with a throbbing Jock Jams soundtrack and a provocative cast. (Where have you gone, Bridgette Wilson-Sampras?) Since the 2013 reboot has a chance of reigniting interest in the age-old series, let’s cast our dream players in five of the main roles.

If you tap into that and take advantage of it and hold it close and treat it like what it is, that’s when you’ll get – fully – out of it what you’re supposed to. Huh?

Then they asked him about his true love. CNN: Let’s talk about your love for weed. How much are you spending these days? Give us a figure. WK: Oh nah, there’s no figure, man. It varies [laughs].

It’s a huge umbrella – doctors smoke weed, old ladies smoke weed, soccer moms, players, coaches – everybody smokes weed. I think it’s a common ground, it’s a peaceful ground. Kids, this is your brain on drugs. Source
Critics herald the baseball flick as ‘the prime Brad Pitt movie.’ By Kara Warner Brad Pitt in “Moneyball” Photo: Columbia TriStar On paper, “Moneyball” is a movie that sells itself. It’s based on a best-selling book about our national pastime, the screenplay for which was adapted by Oscar winners Aaron Sorkin and Steve Zaillian, and it stars Brad Pitt, in all his handsome, charming splendor, as Oakland A’s general manager Billy Beane.
