Trailer Park: The Avengers

Summer’s 8 months away, but already the Mighty Marvel Movie Machine is churning, releasing a full two-minute trailer for The Ultimates…I mean, The Avengers…sorry, m’comic bookiness reared its head there for sec. What we’re treated to is a snippet of the team’s (practically non-existent) chemistry, and I don’t mean on screen, I mean as far the in-story team dynamic goes. And that makes... 

Box Office Results: Rock ‘Em Sock ‘Em Robots Bring Real Steel to the Top

Then, on Sundays, we look at how Tim’s predictions fared. Earlier this week, Tim returned with his weekly predictions. I’ll admit I was a bit surprised by Tim’s choices, particularly his estimate...

October 2011 Artist of the Month: Doc Rotten’s Horror Extravaganza

We’ve tried to keep October as a specialized month, embracing that it’s the month when ghosts, ghouls, and goblins come out to roam the world. Halloween is a favorite holiday among the Widescreen Warrior staff, and not just because of the candy (although that’s nice too!). Movies are where the creatures of Halloween get to come alive, so we’ve tried to embrace it in the past with a look at...

Rafe’s Rant: Disney Bringing Avatar to Animal Kingdom?

It’s been a weird week. I’ve spent half of the week really sick, and then miraculously started to recover. All I can say is: it’s probably the zinc. This time yesterday I was alternating between hacking my head of and sneezing my brains out. Today, I’ve had maybe two coughing fits. Of course, now it’s Thursday, and I have a whole other problem: the best topic I could think of is one I wrote... 

Qwikster: Don’t Fall For the Desperate Netflix Rebranding Attempt

Sigh. I really want to like Netflix again. Really I do. I want to return to the glory days where I would hold onto discs for far too long and enjoy movies I hadn’t even considered watching before. Unfortunately, the folks at Netflix are making this a Herculean task. First: the July announcement of a split in services, which equaled a 60% price hike if you kept both services at the level you currently...
