Trailer Park: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2 really doesn’t need a marketing campaign. As the second half of the final Harry Potter story, the movie’s already had seven pictures leading into it, including the first half last year, which was one of the better novel adaptations to date. Essentially, all Warner Brothers needs to do is put a poster out with the logo and a date and people will...
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1 [Blu-ray]
I’m unabashedly psyched to be writing about this DVD/Blu-Ray release. I’ve been a huge fan of the Harry Potter series since the first book slipped quietly on to shelves. I remember picking it up and thinking, “Hmm. This looks kind of cool.” Well, the rest is history and “cool” doesn’t begin to cover it. So, if you’re not familiar with the “boy wizard” books and films,...

Doc Rotten’s Anticipated Fantasy Films of 2011
This spring and summer horror films are getting the shaft with very few making their way to the theaters during the busiest part of the season: Insidious (April 1), Scream 4 (April 15) and Priest 3D (May 13). Most of the scariest genre films are set for late summer or fall release dates, even The Thing prequel was moved to October 14. So what is a horror fan supposed to do? Hang on to related genres,...
Our 12 Most Anticipated Movies of 2011
The New Year is here and a year of good and bad movies lie ahead of us ripe for the picking. That sounds a little optimistic I know, but after the hits of 2010 like Shutter Island, Tron Legacy, Toy Story 3, and True Grit, I can’t help but look forward to another year of film watching. While I’m hoping I haven’t missed another biggie like Inception on this year’s list of anticipated movies,...
Weekly Blend #249 – Selling Margaret’s Ride
Margaret’s car is not for sale, but that didn’t stop some random passerby from asking about it moments before we started to record, setting a weird mood for the episode. Within we discuss Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I, Morning Glory and Artist of the Month Kevin Kline’s In & Out and Dave. Add in commentary on a bunch of trailers (Green Lantern, Green Hornet, Red...
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1
The end of the Harry Potter franchise is here. Sure, technically the franchise ended with the release of the final book in 2007, but it’s taken a couple of years for the movies to catch up. For those, like me, who read the novels fanatically, watching the last few movies has been a bit of a disappointment, knowing the end of the boy wizard’s story had already passed. For those who have only enjoyed...
Closing Tabs Tuesday: Over the Rainbow
Closing Tabs started as a weekly look at news we didn’t cover on the site throughout the week. As the site has grown, however, we’ve moved away from reporting most news (you can catch most of it regurgitated on other sites anyway) in favor of more original opinions and editorials. Still, that news is out there, clogging up the tabs on our browsers, so now we offer the column as a Tuesday/Thursday...
Jeff’s Five and Dime: Time Traveling in Style
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...
Closing Tabs: Jumping the Shark Edition
Each week we take note of some stories circling the Internet that for some reason, whether it be time or fate or lack of personal interest, we don’t wind up covering on the site. By the end of the week, we wind up with a bunch of tabs open on our browsers and newsreaders that just end up sitting there waiting for more attention. Here’s our attempt to put them to some use, allowing us to close the...
