Oh early spring film releases. The Oscar films have gone wide, the crappy horror/comedy/romantic movies are getting ready to do well for an opening weekend before exiting quickly and the critical community is organizing their obligatory top ten lists. Now, given that this is my first top ten list on an actual site, I figured that I had to go all out in terms of stockpiling on film consumption for the... 

The Dark Knight Rises gives us a lot to talk about, both because of the movie and because of the tragedy in Aurora, Colorado. We offer a respectful treatment of the victims of the gunman and the situation before discussing how commenters and media have gotten out of hand with the situation, which is why this week’s episode carries an explicit tag. We then offer three contrasting opinions on... 

Heading into The Dark Knight Rises, Christopher Nolan had a couple of things going for him. First of all, his last installment, The Dark Knight, is largely considered to be the best of the Batman stories committed to film, and considered by some (including myself) to be one of the top super-hero stories period. Secondly, Nolan went into The Dark Knight Rises with the knowledge that this was his final... 

It’s been eight years since the events of The Dark Knight. Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale) has become a recluse & hung up the Bat Suit after taking the fall for Harvey Dent’s killings, Commissioner James Gordon (Gary Oldman) has kept the truth about Dent’s actions a secret as he willingly jailed hundreds of criminals under the hypocritical “Dent Act” and Gotham itself has been enjoying a... 

It’s traditionally accepted that third chapters aren’t as good as their predecessors. While that might be unfair to newer movies, there is a baseline for this reasoning: The Godfather, Part III, Spider-Man 3, Superman 3 (you know, the one with Richard Pryor?), all of them build on a successful foundation but unable to live up to the success of the first two movies. It’s understandable... 

When I sat down to see Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows, I knew I would probably see the trailer for The Dark Knight Rises, the third (and unfortunately final) Christopher Nolan Batman movie. Heck, I’ll even admit that the lure of the Dark Knight Rises trailer was a good part of why I wanted to see the Sherlock Holmes sequel, which I only had a passing interest in watching. So, anticipating the... 

Well, it’s the week we’ve been waiting for: The Muppets is in theaters and we’re here to tell you what we thought about it. We also finish up our Jim Henson month with a look at his legacy and two films that came after his death: The Muppet Christmas Carol and Muppets from Space. We also talk about developments with the latest Twilight picture (possibly giving viewers seizures), The... 

If there’s one movie that we’re looking forward to the most, it’s The Dark Knight Rises, the final chapter of Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy. Nolan left fans hanging on a string with the dramatic ending of The Dark Knight and most of us have wanted to see the next chapter from the moment we walked out of that theater. We’ll give him some leeway since he did make Inception, but come on... 

Warner Bros. Pictures’ and Legendary Pictures’ “The Dark Knight Rises” is the epic conclusion to filmmaker Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy. It’s Batman. It’s Christopher Nolan. That combination hasn’t let us down yet, and I certainly don’t expect this to be any different. Nolan set this chapter up with the dramatic ending of The Dark Knight and I’ve been waiting for the follow... 

You heard our predictions and hopes in the Pre-Oscar Roundup. Now it’s time to tear this doggie apart and see what we think. Listen as we analyze this year’s Oscar presentation, from our problems with Oscar.com’s “All Access” pass to our discussion of hosts and presentations to a breakdown of the winners and losers. We go more in depth with Widescreen Warrior’s Retrospectives...
