Bill Murray Is Garfield

Murray Voicing Garfield

Bill Murray has signed on to voice the role of Garfield the Cat in the upcoming Garfield movie for 20th Century Fox, Variety reported. Based on the comic strip, the movie centers on the sardonic cat who must tolerate the indignity of being saddled with a nebbish owner (Breckin Meyer) and a nitwit dog as housemates, the trade paper reported.

Helmer Peter Hewitt (Thunderpants) directs the live-action/computer-animated film adaptation, which was written by Toy Story scribes Joel Cohen and Alec Sokolow, the trade paper reported.

Drawn by Jim Davis, the Garfield strip marks its 25th anniversary on June 19 and remains one of the most widely syndicated strips in the world, appearing in 2,570 newspapers in 111 countries, the trade paper reported.

Bad CGI in parts, really good in others. Predictable story and cheesy dialog. History buffs will probably be angry.

Documentary of a stand up comic who smokes pot every day for 30 days. A few laughs, some interesting points with the testing, overall silly.

Decent sci-fi flick about a boy who can teleport and how he misuses his powers for selfish gain, also triggering the attention of a shadow group who seeks to stop all of his kind.

One hell of a monster movie from the point of view of five survivors of the attack. I was scared as hell in the theater.
