I really loved 2012 as an overall year for film. There were so many groundbreaking films in various genres, whether they were the biggest of blockbusters or the smallest of independent productions. Yet, they can’t all be gems. Every year has its stinkers and, while there were a limited amount of them, the ones that really stung hurt like hell. Might as well try to heal the wounds by going down my... 

Johnny Blaze (Nicolas Cage) returns to his fire trail blazing days as the Ghost Rider, a fire breathing entity that sucks the souls out of people with his powers that the Devil himself (Ciaran Hinds) bestowed upon him years ago. This time, Blaze has to save young Danny (Fergus Riordan) from having his body possessed by Satan in order to bring hell to Earth. With the help of the boy’s mother (Violante... 

Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance is full of energy, attitude, and spectacle, and the inspired, insanity of Nicolas Cage. What the film does not have is plot, character development, or common sense. Adolescent and single minded, the movie invites critics and general audiences to scoff and disregard the film as trash. It’s a huge middle finger to the serious cinematic artisans and stiff upper lips.... 

Nicolas Cage is an enigma. Whether it be his choice of wigs or his choice of body tattoos, Cage has turned the heads of many a person, but nothing speaks louder about his antics than his film roles. Due to his versatile filmography, Cage’s roles have garnered a wide range of responses, from acclaim to snide remarks to Internet meme infamy.  Yet, among younger audiences, the consensus still tends... 

All hell breaks loose when John Milton (Nicolas Cage) escapes his supernatural prison to chase down the Satanic cult that murdered his daughter and kidnapped his granddaughter. With only a young southern firecracker named Piper (Amber Heard) at this side, Milton must fight his way through a variety of obstacles to get to the man responsible: Piper’s cheating boyfriend, the cultist killers and a corrupted... 

Season of the Witch tells the story of a pair of knights, Behmen (Nicolas Cage) and Felson (Ron Perlman), who return from the Crusades to find their homeland consumed by the Black Plague. Captured as deserters, Behmen and Felson are ordered to escort a young girl named Anna – who has confessed to being a witch and causing the plague – to a far away monastery in order to rid the countryside... 

All three of us have seen Inception. Is it the groundbreaking film so many critics are praising? In a word: yes, but you should listen to hear what specifically each of us liked about the movie. We also look at The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, debate Woody Allen’s Annie Hall and Manhattan, and have another round of argument over villains as heroes. Show Links Rafe’s Inception review Rafe’s... 

Well, it’s taken until almost halfway through July, but the popcorn corniness of the summer movie season has finally arrived. The Sorcerer’s Apprentice brings spectacle over substance and a story riddled with plot holes and convenience, but ultimately is the kind of movie that’s perfect for shutting off your brain and just being entertained. As Nicolas Cage so aptly puts it, “But it is fun.”... 

A few weeks ago someone on our forums asked if Clash of the Titans was the unofficial kick off for the summer. Thankfully, the answer was no, because, if Titans is indicative of the summer movies to come, I’d suggest we all stay far away from the theaters this year. Thankfully, a few weeks later Kick-Ass has arrived to redeem the upcoming months of movies. Regardless of being a movie that has split... 

Jeff’s Five and Dime is not your typical top-five list. Then again, what’s typical about Jeff? In this weekly column Jeff will bring you a top-five list meant to amuse and on the rare occasion, make you think. Ah, can you smell it? As we spring forward this weekend to allow the warm sun to keep its head above the mountains just a little bit longer than normal. I can smell it. Yes, summer is...
