It’s a super-sized, 90-minute episode this week as we make up for lost time. We explain a little bit about plans for the live broadcast (including moving the time to 2pm on Sundays) before looking back at some reviews from the past few weeks, including The Smurfs and Everything Must Go. Then we head full-bore into the films of Artist of the Month Bill Murray, taking a look at his collaborations... 

Kung Fu Panda 2 3D is everything needed from the sequel to the hit animated original from 2008. It’s fasted-paced, delightful, action-packed and full of heart. Jack Black is back as Po and he brings his best voice acting effort yet with a well-rounded, fully developed, emotional characterization that surpasses the first film – more confident, but yet just as insecure. Gary Oldman steps in to... 

I find it interesting that Kung Fu Panda 2 has been released the same weekend as The Hangover Part II. Between the two films, there is an incredibly different approach to creating a sequel. The Hangover Part II takes the stance of recreating what worked well in the first place, nearly note for note. Kung Fu Panda 2, on the other hand, figures out where the story would go next and gives the audience... 

When I first read about 30 Minutes or Less I have to admit the concept sounded like a dud. A pizza delivery boy (Jesse Eisenberg) is ambushed by hooligans who strap a bomb on him and force him to rob a bank before the bomb goes off. Add in names like Danny McBride’s name (who I’m not a huge fan of) and Aziz Ansari (who can be hit or miss), and Nick Swardson (who has reached, “who?” status of... 

The latest in the string of stoner comedies is Your Highness, directed by David Gordon Green, who also gave us Pineapple Express. The movie stars James Franco and Danny McBride (who co-wrote the film with Ben Best). The movie starts out with Thadeous (McBride) about to be hung for the crime of seducing the dwarf king’s bride. His manservant, Courtney (Rasmus Hardiker), is in the stocks being... 

Despicable Me takes a different spin on the normal animated tale, following the villain of the movie instead of any sort of hero. In this case, the villain is Gru, a Bond-style, European-accented hunchback of a man. Gru finds himself unseated as the top villain by a new interloper, Vector. Desperate to reestablish himself, Gru sets out on a plan to steal the moon – a plan that eventually involves... 

Jeff’s Five and Dime is not your typical top-five list. Then again, what’s typical about Jeff? In this weekly column Jeff will bring you a top-five list meant to amuse and on the rare occasion, make you think. One of the hardest science fiction topics to tackle in storytelling is time travel. In theory, if you do go back in time and even change the smallest thing, it can alter the present. The... 

I promised myself that my tirade on the stupidity surrounding the MTV Movie Awards would be limited to the article I wrote only. Unfortunately, I didn’t quite stick to that as I started another rant on people’s stupidity on this week’s show. It’s not all about stupid people though. Check out our reviews of The Hangover, Land of the Lost, our feelings on the death of David Carradine,...
