I’m a huge fan of Disney’s animated classics, both the classic early films created under Walt himself and the second wave of successful tales (The Little Mermaid, Aladdin, etc). Even as a huge fan, however, I have to admit that some of the movies from the House of Mouse just aren’t that good. Even with duds like Hunchback of Notre Dame (too mature) and The Emperor’s New Groove (too silly),... 

Ryan Reynolds was one of the best parts of X-Men Origins: Wolverine, for the five minutes he was actually on screen. Woefully underused, Reynolds was a shining star in what was otherwise a disappointing X-venture. But it was a movie that made $85 million in its opening weekend, which means sequels and spin-offs galore. Sure enough, Variety confirmed that there is a deal being made for another Hugh... 

Just when I was getting confidence in McG’s ability to handle the Terminator franchise, the director comes out with something new to say that makes me wonder just what kind of ride we’re in for. The trailers and clips that have been revealed so far have been so promising, but McG’s latest round of interviews has the director saying some things that make me wonder if he has a clue as to what he’s... 

It’s no surprise that Pixar’s Up is among one of my most anticipated movies this year. After all, the studio hasn’t had a miss yet, and Up looks to carry on that tradition if the trailers are any indication. Of course, it’s hard to tell if the trailer is any kind of indicator. After all, the best moments are picked out for the trailer and presented to sell you into seeing the movie. Luckily,... 

You thought awards season was over with, didn’t you? Silly little movie fan. Even though the big shows are over with, there are still a few more awards to be racked up, this time most likely by the fan-beloved The Dark Knight, which was overlooked by so many other awards this year. Welcome to the MTV Movie Awards, which had their nominations announced today and will actually be handed out... 

If you’re a geek, you’ve heard the questions all your life: Who would win in a fight, Kirk or Spock? Who’s more badass, Darth Vader or Darth Maul? Could the Death Star destroy the Battlestar Galactica? They’re the kinds of questions fandom has been plagued by since there was more than one franchise to compare, and the debates get kind of ridiculous with the passion fans have behind them. Now... 

Star Trek’s reboot hits theaters this week, so what is the other major outer space epic doing to keep up with Kirk and Spock? Many of you may think George Lucas has done enough with his space opera, and normally I’d be inclined to agree. Regardless, new Star Wars filming was reported last week by /Film, who had the skinny on a new, top-secret Star Wars project. Now, before you get all up in arms... 

We borrow the tagline from Fast & Furious with this week’s episode, which finds the podcast and its staff in a new permanent home. While that change is a big subject, we try to spend as little time on it as possible to allow more time for reviews of X-Men Origins: Wolverine and our usual opinions and commentary on things like trailers for Transformers, District-9, and G.I. Joe. Weekly... 

If you’ve seen the previous X-Men movies, you know they like sticking in a bunch of references for the fans to appreciate. Whether it’s just the names of characters never seen, or characters shown on screen for an instant, the first three X-Men flicks are full of easter eggs. X-Men Origins: Wolverine is no different in that regard, offering looks at several new characters and even... 

The concept of a solo movie centered around X-Men’s Wolverine character is a bit odd. After all, the existing X-Men movies pretty much centered around the character to begin with, serving first as the surrogate for the audience entering Charles Xavier’s institute in X-Men, and then as the bad-ass fan favorite for X2: X-Men United and X-Men: The Last Stand. To put Wolverine in his own movie, particularly...
