Taybo20 hit the jackpot last week when no competition of any kind presented itself. He has handily sling-shotted himself into the lead. Good luck catching him.

It’s our tenth-tacular episode of the MovieZeal podcast. And how could we possibly pass up a chance to wax witty on Bond, James Bond? Well, we couldn’t, and we didn’t. Additionally, we decided to skip out on the wine this week and mix ourselves up a few Vespers, that stiff ...

I’m still recuperating from my marathon Thanksgiving driving session: 40 hours on the road, 2 children in the backseat (who would scream in tandem; we used Europe’s “The Final Countdown” to drown them out), 2 flat tires, and 2 ...

This review was originally published May 16th, 2008.
Those who are of the opinion that C.S. Lewis wrote The Chronicles of Narnia as an allegory designed to convert children to Christianity (I’m looking at you, Phillip Pullman) would be well advised to check out Prince Caspian , the latest ...

This review was originally published July 25th, 2008.
One of the charges often leveled against film critics is that they are “out of touch” with American audiences. The proof that is generally cited comes from placing each year’s average critical top 10 list and its top 10 grossing ...

NOTE: Two of the screencaps within this review contain depictions of violence and strong language.
As a child, when Mark Millar was first introduced to comic books and superheroes, the question he immediately had was, “Where do they all ...

This review was originally written August 13th, 2008.
Movies based on television shows generally fall into one of two categories: either they’re direct continuations of the show that wind up in theaters shortly after the show is cancelled, or even while it’s still on the air ( The ...

Making a World War II-themed film is a prospect fraught with peril, in no small part because filmmakers have been churning them out since the moment World War II began. It’s hard to imagine that there’s really that much left to say about the conflict, and while the occasional film ( Saving ...

So, I was gnawing on a turkey leg when I realized I’d forgotten to do the obligatory “new releases” post. And then I realized that it was even worse than I thought, since the new movies came out yesterday, this being a holiday weekend and all. So I apologize to all three of ...

I know one thing that I’m thankful for this Thanksgiving: never having to voluntarily sit through any of these again. That’s right - it’s Pointless, Painful, and Pathetic Sequel Edition at Mystery Poster Theater. And because a blackhole opened up and swallowed last ...

There was a time when Disney was on top of American animation. Heck, they were American animation (at least on the big screen) until about 1966, when Walt died. Then they began to lose their way and lost market share to Don Bluth (who left Disney with a bit of a chip on his shoulder), ...

I love Peter Berg, much much more than I reasonably should. He’s directed some entertaining (if slightly forgettable) movies like Friday Night Lights and The Kingdom , but he holds a special place in my heart for putting one of the greatest ...

I sat through all 81 minutes of Space Chimps , but all I could think about the whole time was WALL-E . It had never occurred to me before that hour and a half (which I’ll never get back, by the way), but Pixar managed to make an entire movie ...

Music is a fickle thing, and every time a band innovates, someone is there to invent a new word for their “genre.” This is especially true with genres that people like to describe with the word “hardcore,” a word which lends itself well to portmanteaus. Hardcore punk that incorporates metal and ...

You have never seen a film like Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son About His Father , I can promise you that. You may have thought about a film this before in terms of “what if” or “if only”, but you have never seen something like this completely realized. For this reason, you should stay away ...
