We’re back after an extended hiatus, but for how long? We spend the first part of this week’s show talking about some (fairly obvious) changes that are going on with the show. Please give us your feedback after listening, either by commenting below, sending an e-mail, or joining the discussion on our forums. Other than starting off on a negative note, Tim and Rafe talk about some of their... 

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... 

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... 

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, expecting that this weekend’s big release, Super 8 wouldn’t be as big a release as...

The topic of the week is sequels: how do you do follow up a popular movie with a sequel that keeps fans interested without pissing them off. With Kung Fu Panda 2 and The Hangover Part II in theaters, we have some good examples of what (and what not) to do. We also finish up our Artist of the Month with Jarhead and Restrepo and mourn the passing of Jeff Conaway. We’ll be taking the next two weeks...
