I’ve been trying to get this rebooted column kicked off for a while now and this year’s football extravaganza has finally given me the motivation to do so. So welcome to the new trailer park, where we gather the latest trailers and commercials to hit the web and give you our opinions on how interested we are in the movies they promote – in other words, how well the trailers do their... 

It’s April Fools’ Day, which means a flood of stories have come out created by other sites in hopes of fooling their readers. We dive through those stories as well as some other unbelievable tales in an effort to sort out the fact and fiction. You can also hear our reviews of Wrath of the Titans and Mirror Mirror, as well as our personal favorite sword and sandal type movies. We also debate... 

The classic fairy tale of Snow White has two cinematic adaptations this year, as well as the recent Once Upon a Time television series on ABC. That’s a lot of Snow White to go around. Fortunately, each one has their own unique take on the character. In the case of the recent release, Mirror Mirror, that take is a more traditional one, taking a lighthearted approach to the story with only a few minor...

I’ve been on Facebook since my return-to-college days, when the social networking site was still restricted only to people in college networks. Since then, the site has exploded, opening its doors to everyone.
