Trailer Park: Total Recall [2012]
If there’s an action film from the Arnold Schwarzenegger era that holds up well, it’s Total Recall. That’s why the idea of remaking that movie sounds like a huge gamble. The original is such an iconic film that a bad remake runs the risk of alienating fans, much like Clash of the Titans had to deal with. That’s why the word surrounding this year’s Colin Farrell remake is that it isn’t attempting...
Trailer Park: Ted
I know a lot of people who obsess over Seth MacFarlane’s work. I’ve been a fan of Family Guy for a while, but as the creator has put out more and more work (American Dad, The Cleveland Show), I have to admit I’ve felt like he just uses the same shtick over and over again. It’s funny, but there’s not much originality to it once you’ve gotten used to his style of humor. MacFarlane’s theatrical...
The Hunger Games Knocks Out Titans and Witches [Box Office Results]
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.
Tim didn’t get his predictions to me in a column this week. I guess his schedule is just as busy as the rest of us. Instead I got a last...

300th Podcast Delay
I wasn’t planning on doing a big hoop-de-doo for our 300th podcast episode: we’ve done that before for episode 100 and 200 and I didn’t see much point to doing it again, especially with a not so behind the scenes reveal a few weeks ago that we might have been quitting with 300. Then we produced last week’s show and our good friend Luis made the following suggestion:
Good show....

Trailer Park: Dark Shadows
I wasn’t a big fan of the original Dark Shadows, which precedes me by a few years. In fact, I wasn’t even aware of the soapy show until the series saw a reboot in the ‘80s with Ben Cross in the lead role of Barnabas Collins, the cursed vampire ancestor of the Collins household at the center of the series. That reboot kept a very serious tone despite the low-budget origins of the original series....
Trailer Park: Lockout
I’ve finally made it to the theater – twice in the past 24 hours, in fact. Both times I’ve been sitting there in the darkened theater, I’ve watched the trailer for Lockout unfold before me, which I took as a sign that I needed to write about the upcoming film, even if the trailer has been out for a while.
The basic vibe of the trailer borrows heavily from Escape from New York / Escape from...
