There’s a superstition in teaching about the effects of the full moon on students, and Rafe thinks that’s definitely something he saw this week, with the effects carrying into the show. The full staff of this episode talks about John Carter‘s loss to The Lorax at the box office, the surprisingly well-received upcoming 21 Jump Street, our early anticipation for The Hunger Games, and... 

Last week the women finally found some form of victory, winning both a reward and an immunity challenge. We also got rid of that jerk Matt, which I’m still giddy over. Meanwhile, advertising has promoted this week’s episode as having a game changing movie – specifically, a move that will change the game forever. I find that hard to believe, but we’ll see as the episode unfolds. We begin... 

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. I couldn’t find a fault in Tim’s logic this week, although I knew he was selling The Lorax a bit short with his prediction of $28... 

Technical issues rear their ugly head this week, from the lack of a babysitter when it came time to record the show to problems with Thomas’s Skype feed this week. We soldier on and talk about the killer box office take for The Lorax, offer up a review of Project X, talk about the deaths of Davy Jones and Ralph McQuarrie, and analyze what did and didn’t work for this year’s Oscar... 

The opening recap of the season shouldn’t have taken as long as it did. The summary is simple: the women have been sucking and the men haven’t. The men’s tribe has been full of machinations, none of which are all that important since the men aren’t losing. There’s the season so far. Of course, it’s only been a couple of episodes, which means everything can change pretty quickly. Of course,... 

As we talked about on this week’s show, March is a very weird month for releases. With titles like Mirror, Mirror and The Hunger Games, I guess I expected more from the month. After all, this is when we’ve gotten gems like Watchmen, Rango, and Alice in Wonderland. This year, the offerings are significantly slimmer. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised to see many film fanatics bypass... 

The Earth’s Mightiest Defenders are certainly heading into theaters this summer. If there was any doubt, look no further than the second trailer for this summer’s potential blockbuster, The Avengers. Where the first trailer wowed audiences and fans with the execution of a collaborative movie (and let’s be honest – this is so star packed it’s almost hard to believe they’re pulling it... 

The 84th Annual Academy Awards took place on February 26th, 2012. Writers of this site and some of our devoted readers and listeners gathered together in the Widescreen Warrior chatroom to talk about the show as we watched it – a movement that illustrated the very theme of the show. Movies bring us together. They highlight the best things of life. They make us laugh and cry, and it’s an... 

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. When Tim offered up his predictions this week, I pointed out a major flaw in his numbers: the lack of Tyler Perry. I still don’t know if... 

It’s been a few weeks since our last show, so we catch up with an old friend and go over what we’ve been doing in the interim, both good and bad. You’ll hear reviews of Wanderlust and Act of Valor and a discussion of why it’s hard to give honest but sometimes negative reviews of movies like Act of Valor or Tyler Perry movies. That doesn’t stop the latest addition to...
