For the first time in all of my years of doing this, I’m not incredibly thrilled with my end of the year list. As usual, there are movies appearing on other people’s lists that I haven’t gotten to see, and unfortunate timing means I won’t be seeing them for another couple of weeks at the best. Rather than hold out on my “Best of” list for 2011 until the point that... 

Wow! What a year; 2011 was full of films that could easily be included in any top 10. In a year where I gave five stars to 5 films, it leaves little space include the vast array of other worthy, deserving films. The top five films represent the best Fantasy, Comedy, Family, Action and Horror films seen this year which is a great example of how expansive and successful each genre was in the past 12... 

I am a sucker for gimmicks. I rave about William Castle films, Cinema Verite and breaking the fourth wall. I applaud the efforts of filmmakers to broaden the experience of seeing a film in the theater, no matter how cheesy they may be. Does anyone remember “Odorama” from John Water’s Polyester? C’mon, good times. Above all, I love 3D films. The added dimension this technique can bring... 

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. Earlier this week Tim made his box office predictions and I made it clear that I didn’t quite agree with him. Frankly, I figured Crazy, Stupid,...

You’ve heard Tim make his weekly predictions on our podcast, guessing how the box office numbers are going to play out as we discuss each week’s estimates. 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... 

Most video game review readers whilst reading a review will skip through all the fancy words and sometimes check out the pros and cons, maybe a tagline or two and focus primarily on the end rating. Some will even stop to look at the pretty pictures. I recently reviewed Part 1 of Deathly Hallows and to be quite honest, the only thing different between this game and the first is the title – with maybe...

Then, on Sundays, we look at how Tim’s predictions fared. When Tim made his box office predictions earlier this week, I don’t think even he expected Harry Potter to be the behemoth it’s turned out... 

It’s our last chance to talk Harry Potter with the final film in theaters. Both of our show reviews wind up being more anecdotal than review, but sometimes that’s how it is when something reaches the end. We also discuss the Neflix fiasco (with some explicit language the situation calls for) and look at Paul Newman’s The Hustler (unfortunately The Color of Money got caught up in one... 

I would not have believed it either, except when I came home from work one day, I found a huge coffin-like box sitting by my side door from FedEx with a return address for Harmonix. Upon opening the aforementioned coffin, I was pleasantly surprised to find an Xbox 360 game with unique controllers and costumes all related to the Harry Potter universe. My first impressions were somewhat mixed –...
