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... 

As the story goes, Steven Spielberg discovered a love for Tintin, the Belgian comic book character, after he released Raiders of the Lost Ark and fans drew connections between the high adventure feel of the first Indiana Jones movie and Tintin’s comic book series, which follows a young reporter on unlikely adventures. It’s taken thirty years, but now Spielberg brings an animated version of Tintin’s... 

Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) returns for another installment of the famous Mission Impossible film series (based on the also-famous-for-its generation-television series), this time directed by Brad Bird (Iron Giant, The Incredibles, Ratatouille), this being his first big budgeted, live action feature. In Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol, Hunt and his team are left to their own devices when the President... 

This was a really good weekend in theaters, as our reviews of Paul, Limitless, and The Lincoln Lawyer in this week’s episode show. We also look at Sigourney Weaver’s Imaginary Heroes, talk about Comedy Central’s Greg Giraldo tribute, and discuss the latest entries in the super-hero world: Wonder Woman’s costume for the new television show and the latest Batman and Superman movie... 

We know you’re busy and don’t always have time to check out written reviews, and our full-length hour-long podcast can be a bit hard to fit in for tight schedules. That’s why we’ve started providing video reviews: see what goes on during the podcast as Rafe reviews this week’s new releases, or just listen to hear his take on the new releases. Either way, it’s another... 

One of the fun aspects of Paul is that it is chock-full of science-fiction references. Much like Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright did with Shaun of the Dead, Pegg and Nick Frost have created an homage to their favorite sci-fi films. So many of the references are ones that are integrated into our culture, coming from long-popular movies, but it’s possible to miss some if you aren’t quite up on the genre.... 

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... 

If you’re a fan of Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz, then the new movie Paul set to release March 18th needs no introduction. Starring Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, the comedic duo from across the pond, the film highlights two UFO/Alien buffs who set out to explore Area 51 only to find an actual alien. The catch: this isn’t the typical alien in the desert moviegoers are used to. The alien Paul is voiced... 

Fans of Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz should love this news. The stars of those movies, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, are teaming up for a third movie, titled Paul. The new movie isn’t being made with their old friend Edgar Wright, who directed the previous two movies, but instead with Greg Mottola (Superbad), who is bringing some of his previous colleagues along for the ride. The movie will star Pegg...
