Listen up Hollywood directors: we’re tired of the “realistic” approach to action. Cut the crap, get rid of the shakey-cam, knock off the frenetic editing, and pull the damn camera back far enough that we can see what’s going on. You know that person on your staff who choreographs the combat and actions sequences? We want to see their work; you are paying them, after all, so why mar their work... 

When The Phantom Menace was released in 1998, there was absolutely no way that it could have lived up to the hype. No movie could have. George Lucas could have created the finest film ever placed on celluloid (or, in his case, the digital domain) and it still would have been heavily criticized. Die-hard Star Wars fans had had decades to imagine what a new chapter of the franchise would be like, aided... 

You’ve heard Tim make his weekly predictions on our podcast, guessing how the box office numbers are going to play out as we discuss each week’s estimates. Now we’re putting them down in text just to see how good Tim’s track record winds up. Tune in each week as we compare Tim’s predictions against the actual numbers from the box office weekend, as Tim takes on the Box Office. The 3D presentation... 

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, a little boy fell in love with the movies. As the long shape of a Star Destroyer chased after a rebel vessel, as a Dark Lord of the Sith threatened underlings by choking them with an invisible Force, and as that same Force led the good guys to triumph against insurmountable odds and a moon-sized planet destroyer, a destiny was forged. The first movie I can... 

We have a slew of new movies coming out this week, so let’s not waste any time with long introductions. The release I’m most interested in is the 3D presentation of Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace. It’s a re-release in 3D, which has been hit or miss for other studios. Disney found great success with 3D for The Lion King, but less for Beauty and the Beast. This is... 

The signs have appeared: it’s time for Star Wars to return to theaters. No, I’m not talking about the sudden abundance of advertisements announcing the upcoming release of The Phantom Menace in 3D. Instead it’s the burst of commercials using the classic Star Wars characters and music to shill other products. Ever since the Star Wars saga found its initial burst of popularity, every time it has... 

Part of looking at movies does involve the business side of show business. We try to have a little fun with it, as each week Tim makes his predictions as to how movies will perform at the Box Office. Then, on Sundays, we look at how Tim’s predictions fared. This whole box office prediction thing is a little scary sometimes. You have weeks like last week where Tim was completely off, and then turn... 

I promised we would try some new things since we came back, and this week is representative of that. First, we’re joined by our friend Kelly, who adds a female voice back to the show even if it does mean some razzing for liking Channing Tatum and Grey’s Anatomy. Secondly, we open up the Skype-line to see who calls in. This week it’s the latest addition to the Widescreen Warrior writing... 

Chronicle tells the story of three teenage boys who have an unexplained experience that leads to them developing super-powers. The three boys come from three different walks of life: Andrew (Dane DeHaan) is a meek, picked on boy who has taken to documenting his own life, Matt (Alex Russell) is Andrew’s more popular cousin who attempts to sound smarter than he is by quoting philosophy at absurd times,...
