When it comes to ideal mates, it’s easy to get caught up in the pretty people on screen.

So I recently had the pleasure of interviewing Academy Award nominee (Hotel Rwanda, Crash) Don Cheadle about his new movie, Traitor, an international thriller/action film set against a puzzle of covert espionage operations.

Check out Traitor on DVD and Blu-ray, and listen to the interview. Thanks Don!
