verybody exits the theater in the evening, and since they have entered the theater, a snowstorm has erupted. There are inches of snow on the ground and more falling. Everybody is sobbing while they clean off their cars.
Les Misérables (2012) Review
Avenge! The Avengers Review
Viewed in the theaters in 2D. Let’s be honest here, The Avengers was never meant to be a canonical cinematic masterpiece. Since it was first even hinted at it was always going to be one thing: spectacle. Throw some of today’s biggest actors (and one actress) into a pot, let simmer for an hour and […]
Fourteen Hours With ‘The Avengers’
AP: JKrengel and I headed out to Burbank last Thursday to experience one of those nerd moments the Star Wars generation would have us believe were all gone. AMC Theaters hosted a daylong, six movie marathon of Marvel Studio’s recent slate of comic book films (Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, Iron Man 2, Thor, and Captain […]
The Hunger Games: Book to Movie Translation
I was watching a Neil deGrasse Tyson interview the other day and he was asked, as an astrophysicist, if anything bothers him about fictional science in sci-fi movies.

Will’s Take on John Carter
Yes, I saw John Carter. I did not want to see this movie. I thought I never would see this movie. But I did. I don’t know what had the worse effect, the large popcorn and Reese’s Pieces on my stomach, or this film on my eyes and brain. John Carter was extraordinarily bad. Never […]
John Carter Review
John Carter suffers from a few problems, most of which are not to the fault of the filmmakers, that end up hindering its quality. And despite those problems the movie almost surpasses expectations. Almost. John Carter centers around its main character of the same name (played by Taylor Kitsch). Carter is a former Confederate soldier […]
Impressions of HBO’s Game Change
Wow, Sarah Palin is an idiot. Just in case you didn’t think that before and/or you didn’t realize how big of an idiot she is, the docudrama Game Change spells it out for you nice and clear. In fact, the movie makes her out to be such a dolt that if any of her stupidity […]
