Jason Bateman has been a comedic force worth noting for decades now, popping into the spotlight and fading back into obscurity. Thankfully, his post Arrested Development era seems to be full of more successes than failures. I think a lot of that has to do with the fact that, over the past few years, he’s really cemented his ability as a frustrated straight man, worthy of sitting alongside Bud... 

Finally, a show where we provide everything you’ve come to expect: reviews of all the new releases (Side Effects and Identity Thief), catching up on what we’ve been watching lately (Walking Dead, Stand Up Guys, Community, and Seven Psychopaths to name a few), and our take on movie news (standalone Star Wars projects?). Along the way we do impersonations of Christopher Walken, discover... 

Since I’m trying to jump-start life back into the site, I figured a good thing to do was to bring back some of the regular content. It doesn’t get more regular than taking a look at what’s hitting theaters each week and telling you which movie has the best chance of getting our box office dollar. Add in Tim’s Box Office predictions, and you’ve got a nice weekly summary... 

As plots go, Horrible Bosses doesn’t sound too original in a one-line description. Three friends, who all work at different places, have different issues with their awful employers, and hatch a plot to kill them. As with the best comedies, though, it’s all in the execution, and director Seth Gordon knocks this one out of the park. Our three protagonists are Kurt, Nick, and Dale, all of... 

We’re back with our second week of Paul Newman movies, one of which inspires the title of this week’s show. First up we review Horrible Bosses and get into why Harry Potter is this week’s big pick. Then it’s into Newman’s Cool Hand Luke, Sometimes a Great Notion, and Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, two of which we didn’t care for as much as we had hoped. We even fit in time... 

As someone who worked in Corporate America for some time, I have a certain affinity for films like Office Space: movies that point out inherent truths about the office life by presenting them in a humorous manner. In fact, I have a typical rule of thumb about dealing with corporate people: if they don’t find movies like Office Space the least bit funny, they are probably guilty of being the asshole... 

A long time ago, in a comic book convention far, far away…after attending the San Diego Comic Con, two British sci-fi fans, Graeme Willy (Simon Pegg) and Clive Gollings (Nick Frost) tour the southwest American landscape in a rented RV following a trail of alien-encounter hot spots: Black Mailbox, Area 51, Roswell. Along the way they encounter an actual alien named Paul (Seth Rogan) who is on... 

Initially, Up in the Air carried no appeal for me. Despite high praise from just about everyone I know in the movie community, the movie looked like standard Oscar fodder, with an unimpressive ad campaign. Even with Jason Reitman at the helm, a filmmaker I usually enjoy immensely, I didn’t expect much from the George Clooney picture, and expected this to be the first Reitman project that left me... 

Sparkling clear waters, bikini babes and Vince Vaughn’s witty jokes are all not enough to save Couples Retreat from sinking into a beautiful blue lagoon boredom. Though the movie has some very funny moments, pacing, static characters and a terrible script drag this movie to the depths. Vaughn’s character, Dave, acts as the ring leader for a gang of misguided husbands that includes Jason (Jason... 

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...
