It may only be the beginning of May, but summer is upon us, at least as far as the summer movie season goes. Last weekend we had an early entry race in with Fast Five collecting a summer blockbuster’s opening weekend. This week we get our first super-hero flick. From here we have four months filled to the brim with popcorn-style action, boy wizards, and more super-heroes than you can shake a cape... 

I’m going to let you in on a little known tidbit of information Hollywood has known for years: the further away from the source material you travel, the worse the end product ends up becoming. Obviously there are a few exceptions, however the sad pathetic failures clearly overshadow the few amazing winners. Case in point: Spider-man (2002 with Toby McGuire) was a great movie. However, how many... 

This spring and summer horror films are getting the shaft with very few making their way to the theaters during the busiest part of the season: Insidious (April 1), Scream 4 (April 15) and Priest 3D (May 13). Most of the scariest genre films are set for late summer or fall release dates, even The Thing prequel was moved to October 14. So what is a horror fan supposed to do? Hang on to related genres,... 

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,... 

Proving that episode #250 is no big deal, Margaret sits out this week, despite the fact that we haven’t had a show in two weeks. No big deal, right? Instead, Rafe and Tim talk about Disney’s Tangled, Fox’s Chronicles of Narnia tailspin, some of our favorite television shows, the rumor of writers being fired from The Walking Dead, the trailers for Thor and Transformers: Dark of the... 

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... 

Over the weekend we got our God of Thunder, but what’s a hero without an antagonist? Marvel certainly didn’t waste any time in announcing the actor who will face off against Thor in the upcoming adaptation to be directed by Kenneth Branagh, although like the actor behind the title character, the announcement may still have you wondering, “who?” Marvel has confirmed via press release what Nikki... 

Get ready to rumble, the God of Thunder has been chosen. Nikki Finke broke the news earlier today that actor Chris Hemsworth will be playing Thor in the upcoming movie adaptation of the Marvel Comics title. Presumably, Hemsworth will also be signed on to be a part of The Avengers when Marvel combines its greatest heroes into one team. If the five minutes we’ve gotten to see of Hemsworth recently...
