In Theaters: 21 Jump Street, Friends with Kids, Casa de mi Padre [March 16]
There’s only one major release coming out this week, so picking what we’re interested in isn’t very hard. After all, when you only have one to pick from, you kinda have to go with that. Still, I have my doubts about 21 Jump Street as a Channing Tatum / Jonah Hill comedy. Obviously, I’m in the minority with such doubts: the movie has dropped a little at Rotten Tomatoes, but...

The Lorax Proves Many Are Friends to the Trees [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.
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...

In Theaters: The Lorax, Project X [March 2]
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...
Trailer Park: The Avengers [Trailer 2]
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...
Winners for the 2012 Oscars [Awards Results]
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...

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...
2012 Academy-Nominated Short Films Reviewed
At last year’s underwhelming Oscars ceremony, there were awkward moments aplenty: Melissa Leo pretending that she swore by accident, the wildly uneven energy of co-hosts James Franco and Anne Hathaway, and Franco in a dress for no discernible reason. The evening’s most exciting and genuine moment came from Luke Matheny, the writer/director of that night’s winner for Best Live Action Short Film,...
