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... 

There’s a lot of like in this week’s show. We make up for last week’s special episode by devoting a large portion to the show’s discussion to our Artist of the Month: the Coen Brothers. Hear us discuss O Brother, Where Art Thou?, A Serious Man, The Hudsucker Proxy, and Barton Fink, one of which may be one of Rafe’s all-time favorite movies, and another of which is our... 

I think it’s fair to think that nobody has had super-high expectations of The Green Hornet. First of all, it’s not like the character is Batman, although the two did cross paths in the super-silly Adam West days of playing the caped crusader. Secondly, Seth Rogen’s name precludes the movie from taking too serious an approach to the pulp-hero, both as writer and as lead actor. Rogen may have shed...

Hey everybody, I’ll be reviewing The Green Hornet this weekend with the site’s official review, but when I have an advance review drop in my lap it’s hard to pass it up – particularly since my schedule is going to keep me from seeing the movie until later in the weekend. Kim got to see an advance showing and was kind enough to send in her thoughts on the movie. Have a look: The... 

The New Year is here and a year of good and bad movies lie ahead of us ripe for the picking. That sounds a little optimistic I know, but after the hits of 2010 like Shutter Island, Tron Legacy, Toy Story 3, and True Grit, I can’t help but look forward to another year of film watching. While I’m hoping I haven’t missed another biggie like Inception on this year’s list of anticipated movies,... 

In theory, the January doldrums continue, although this week could prove an interesting change in that pattern. There are some unlikely January releases this week, including a big-name driven comedy and an action picture most people are writing off because of its January placement. But suddenly the buzz surrounding that picture has gotten positive. Could this be a powerhouse January weekend? First... 

Closing Tabs started as a weekly look at news we didn’t cover on the site throughout the week. As the site has grown, however, we’ve moved away from reporting most news (you can catch most of it regurgitated on other sites anyway) in favor of more original opinions and editorials. Still, that news is out there, clogging up the tabs on our browsers, so now we offer the column as a Tuesday/Thursday... 

Remember last week when we really didn’t touch on the news that Nicolas Cage was leaving The Green Hornet (it did make it into our Closing Tabs weekly column)? Well, that story just got a lot more interesting. In fact, The Green Hornet just got a heck of a lot more interesting altogether. Cage was originally signed to play The Green Hornet’s baddie. Details on the part have been sparse, but we... 

Each week we take note of some stories circling the Internet that for some reason, whether it be time or fate or lack of personal interest, we don’t wind up covering on the site. By the end of the week, we wind up with a bunch of tabs open on our browsers and newsreaders that just end up sitting there waiting for more attention. Here’s our attempt to put them to some use, allowing us to close the...
