The Princess and the Frog Looks Like It Will Croak

Anymore, Disney seems to be spending most of their time these days playing “my daddy can beat you up” with DreamWorks over who can do the best computer animation. Pixar came along and has turned Disney into a character driven, fun, plot machine that has brought Disney’s name back to life. Knowing Disney has raised its own bar, it’s been a while since we’ve seen a... 

Picking Nits: Star Trek Edition

I liked J.J. Abrams reboot of Star Trek a lot (see our review for more details). I’ll even give the movie one of the highest forms of praise I can: I would easily go see it again in theaters. That said, the movie isn’t perfect. Having had a few days to mull it over in my head, there are several things that really annoyed me about the movie. So, now that I’ve given the film high praise in the...

James McAvoy and Elizabeth Banks Versus Raccoons!

I’m having a lot of animal issues lately, ranging from stray cats to a sudden appearance of a possum family in my backyard. Three times over the past week I’ve had to rescue a stupid possum from my basement’s window wells and, while I’ve tried to be kind, my frustration is reaching its peak. At the same time, my wife is ready to just kill the little buggers, which definitely conflicts with... 

See Iron Man Back In Armor

Iron Man was probably the most enjoyable Marvel cartoon since Spider-Man 2, setting up a new franchise without the usual stumbling points other Marvel titles have had. Robert Downey Jr. absolutely owned the part, making fans excited about seeing him don the armor a second time and head into battle once again. Here’s a look at RDJ in the armor for Iron Man 2, which recently began filming.... 

DVD Details For the Much Overlooked Fanboys

If there’s one movie that has gotten a raw deal this year, it’s Fanboys. After over a year of delays for its theatrical release and a controversial edit choice (that wound up being negated anyway), the movie hit a small amount of theaters with little fanfare. Unless you live in a major metropolis, you haven’t gotten to see this movie yet. Unfortunately, it looks like that minimalistic approach... 

Star Trek Time Travel Doesn’t Have To Be Bad

When it was first revealed that J.J. Abrams’ Star Trek movie would use time travel as a major part of the plot device, there was a lot of moaning and groaning. Trek has relied heavily on time travel in the past, to the point that it almost should be called Time Trek instead of Star Trek. Could it be that fans have tired of traveling through time and would rather just see the space side of things? I... 

David Slade Should Have Stuck To Twilight Bashing Guns

I really wasn’t going to report on this, but it’s almost too good to pass up from a guilty pleasure standpoint. If nothing else, it’s a solid reminder to watch what you say on the Internet, because you never know when those words might come back to haunt you. The director of the third Twilight picture, Eclipse, is having to do some penance right now. It seems David Slade has been a bad boy, bashing... 

Michael Bay Has a Bachelors in Hype Building

New still shots have been released for the sequel to the summer blockbuster Transformers showing off some spectacular looking machinery. While most of the pictures are poses of individual Transformers, there’s a surprising visual beauty to the shots. Seen at Yahoo Movies, these 14 Revenge of the Fallen pictures do more than just show the gears and inner workings of the Transformers. One of the...
