It’s April Fools’ Day, which means a flood of stories have come out created by other sites in hopes of fooling their readers. We dive through those stories as well as some other unbelievable tales in an effort to sort out the fact and fiction. You can also hear our reviews of Wrath of the Titans and Mirror Mirror, as well as our personal favorite sword and sandal type movies. We also debate... 

The classic fairy tale of Snow White has two cinematic adaptations this year, as well as the recent Once Upon a Time television series on ABC. That’s a lot of Snow White to go around. Fortunately, each one has their own unique take on the character. In the case of the recent release, Mirror Mirror, that take is a more traditional one, taking a lighthearted approach to the story with only a few minor... 

It feels like only yesterday that we moved out on our own, set up WidescreenWarrior.com, and shortly thereafter celebrated our 200th episode. Now it’s 100 episodes later… but the more things change, the more they stay the same. We deal with the technical troubles of adding a few more seats as we gather together the current iteration of the show along with the Queen of the Podcast to talk... 

Going in to see Larry Crowne, I wasn’t really sure what to expect. Trailers are designed to make movies look like fun, but sometimes the patching together of a movie’s funny or dramatic moments is misleading. So, while the trailer looked good, and the cast looked promising, I didn’t have high expectations. All in all, writer, director, actor Tom Hanks’ provides an enjoyable movie-going experience.... 

Larry Crowne (Tom Hanks) is getting fired from his retail job and with the notion that a college degree would mean never being laid off again, he enrolls in classes to change his life. In Larry Crowne it appears joining the college scene brings a lot of new experiences to a middle aged man from taking a speech class to joining a motor scooter gang and Hanks seems to be the best man for the job. While... 

The show kicks off with a lengthy pity-party which we’d usually advise listeners to avoid, but in this case we’d like some feedback as we determine the fate of our site and podcast. You can at least be amused by the fact that Rafe continues his trend of never getting a show number correct while recording it (this episode is 239, not 240). Eventually we get to our long-delayed reviews of... 

Valentine’s Day: the much maligned holiday started by the greeting card companies; an occasion for candy, jewelry, and floral retailers to line their pockets with this manipulative ploy for commercial gain. Right? Well, maybe, sort of. But to be fair (and sentimental), Valentine’s Day is an occasion to celebrate those close relationships that are so valuable to us. Garry Marshall’s Valentine’s... 

Based on the true story of, and book by, Elizabeth Gilbert we have now the film Eat, Pray, Love. After a bitter divorce and a romantic relationship, Gilbert sets off to find herself and enjoy life for once as her travels take her to live in Italy, Indonesia, and India over a period of one year. For the film Julia Roberts plays the daring yet scared Elizabeth Gilbert traveling the world and trying... 

In Feast of Love, another anthology of love stories much like Valentine’s Day, a character played by Morgan Freeman talks about two people falling in love, stating that nobody even noticed as it happened. This year’s saccharine love anthology, Valentine’s Day suffers from a similar problem – characters continually fall in love, with nobody in the movie noticing until moments of great revelation...
