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... 

Emily Taylor (Rooney Mara) is the wife of Martin (Channing Tatum), an inside trader who has just finished his four-year prison sentence. Despite the return of her beloved, Emily is feeling symptoms of depression, which eventually results in her attempting suicide by driving her car directly into the concrete wall of a parking garage. Emily survives and is taken to the hospital where psychiatrist Jonathan... 

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... 

Between the aromas of Thanksgiving turkey and Rise of the Guardians in theaters, the holidays are definitely upon us. Don’t worry though – as we talk about several times throughout this episode, “It gets better.” Join us for reviews of Guardians and Life of Pi, our take on Chevy Chase leaving Community, a brief memorial of Larry Hagman, and the usual behind-the-scenes mayhem,... 

Hugo is a brilliant, lovingly crafted film, an instant masterpiece. It’s a five star film with no equal. I typically do not write reviews in the first person, but Hugo has touched me in such a profound and emotion way I cannot communicate its affect on me otherwise. Directed by Martin Scorsese and adapted by John Logan from the Brian Selznick novel, The Invention of Hugo Cabret, Hugo the film reaffirms... 

Steven Soderbergh might have harnessed the scariest movie concept yet: a scientific-based piece that tracks the evolution of (and the attempts to counter) a new virus. It’s a film that could have been ripped from the headlines of the past few years, as H1N1, Bird Flu, and West Nile virus have captured the imagination of the general public and terrified germaphobes everywhere. Unfortunately, while... 

After seeing Sherlock Holmes two years ago, I could absolutely get behind having a sequel. The steam-punk style, the mystery to be solved, Holmes’ quick wit paired with conscientious fighting, Watson’s ever frustrated role to be torn between bros and hos – I wanted more of it all and a sequel was just fine with me. Well, fast forward to 2011 and this December the new Sherlock Holmes: A Game of... 

Alright, all of you folks who have been complaining about a lack of originality from James Cameron’s blockbuster, Avatar, pay attention. The world’s most famous consulting detective is here in a new incarnation that is unlike anything we’ve seen before. Yet, Guy Ritchie’s Sherlock Holmes remains faithful to the source material, both in characterization and in content. The final product is a... 

It’s an episode so long we couldn’t possibly cram it into our traditional hourlong format (a technical malfunction with the timer notwithstanding). Inside you’ll hear reviews of Sherlock Holmes, Up in the Air, and Family Guy: Something, Something, Something Darkside, as well as the finish of James Cameron month with Strange Days and True Lies. We also offer some long-overdue opinions... 

It’s been a while since we heard anything new on The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, the new film from director Terry Gilliam and the final project of Heath Ledger. The movie screened at Cannes to wild acclaim, but has sort of fallen silent since then. Finally, a trailer has arrived online and the movie looks even wilder than I imagined. The story behind Doctor Parnassus is a Faust-tale, with the...
