Box Office Results: The Lion King Has Returned
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.
Earlier this week, Tim made his predictions for the week. He was running a bit late, and part of the reason I questioned his picks so heavily...

Rafe’s Rant: Star Wars is More Damaged Than We Thought
We’re on the eve of the release of the Star Wars saga on yet another format, this time entering the high definition world of Blu-ray. As with the previous few incarnations on DVD and VHS, this isn’t the version of Star Wars that fans have grown up with. George Lucas is tinkering with his much-beloved movies once again, replacing the Phantom Menace puppet version of Yoda with the CG version (bringing...
In Theaters: September 16th
We get another barrage of movies this weekend, some of which look promising and others that look like filler between the summer and fall seasons. Regardless, it looks like this weekend’s releases are more about very focused tastes than movies with widespread appeal.
First up is another Ryan Gosling movie for 2011: Drive. The trailer makes this look like a ramped down version of The Transporter, only...

Rafe’s Rant: Murphy a Poor Choice as Oscar Host
The big Oscar related news this week is that Eddie Murphy has been announced as host for the annual awards gala. My first reaction this probably matched a lot of other people’s: “What is this, 1987?”
Let’s be honest. Murphy’s heyday was over two decades ago when he hit the big screen after breaking in with Saturday Night Live and entertained audiences as Axel Foley in the Beverly Hills Cop...
In Theaters: September 9th
The last few weeks have been almost painful with their releases, but we’re starting to clear out of that. Last week we had The Debt which wound up being pretty good, despite not putting in a huge showing at the box office (I know many people who still have no idea what that movie is about – such a shame). This week is the perfect bridge between the crap of the last few weeks and the turn towards...
Box Office Results: The Help Continues to Rule All
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.
Earlier this week, Tim made his predictions for the week, without much hope for the Labor Day weekend releases. While the lack of competition...
September 2011 Artist of the Month: Hiatus
We’re playing things loose for the month of September around here. Over the past few months the Artist of the Month has offered some great movies, but has also offered a daunting task when it comes to time-management. Most of the time we’re racing to get a hold of the movies and get them watched before we have to talk about them on air. If you listen to the past few shows, you’ll hear us missing...
