Thomas’ Obligatory Worst Films of 2012 List

Thomas' Obligatory Worst Films of 2012 List
I really loved 2012 as an overall year for film. There were so many groundbreaking films in various genres, whether they were the biggest of blockbusters or the smallest of independent productions. Yet, they can’t all be gems. Every year has its stinkers and, while there were a limited amount of them, the ones that really stung hurt like hell. Might as well try to heal the wounds by going down my... 

The Lorax Holds Up Against Martians and Taylor Kitsch’s Abs [Box Office Results]

The Lorax Holds Up Against Martians and Taylor Kitsch's Abs [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. As I mentioned on this week’s podcast, it’s been a hectic week – the kind of week where a hobby like this website has to take...

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...

Now we’re putting them down in text just to see how good Tim’s track record winds up. Tune in each week as we compare Tim’s predictions against the actual numbers from the box office weekend, as Tim takes on the Box Office. Well, I’m... 

Acts of Valor Beat Down Tyler Perry and Jennifer Aniston [Box Office Results]

Acts of Valor Beat Down Tyler Perry and Jennifer Aniston [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. 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... 

Weekly Blend #297 – They’re Coming to Get You, Thomas

Weekly Blend #297 - They're Coming to Get You, Thomas
It’s been a few weeks since our last show, so we catch up with an old friend and go over what we’ve been doing in the interim, both good and bad. You’ll hear reviews of Wanderlust and Act of Valor and a discussion of why it’s hard to give honest but sometimes negative reviews of movies like Act of Valor or Tyler Perry movies. That doesn’t stop the latest addition to... 

Act of Valor [Review]

Act of Valor [Review]
I want to start this off by making something perfectly clear: I don’t hate the US military or its several branches. Men and women who are brave enough to be a part of such a noble service deserve so much respect for the constant life-threatening work they do to keep my freedoms in tact. They also deserve a better movie. This is where I’d normally do some sort of plot synopsis, but I can’t. There’s...

In Theaters: Act of Valor, Gone, Good Deeds, Wanderlust [Feb 24]

In Theaters: Act of Valor, Gone, Good Deeds, Wanderlust [Feb 24]
We’ve got another loaded weekend at the theater. You’d almost think we’re out of the winter doldrums and into the good stuff, with theaters following the seasonal lead started by the weather, which has been ridiculously moderate here (except for the single snowfall that made us miss a podcast this week). Not only do we have a wide variety of movies, but we have a variety of takes on those...
