I have no idea why I’ve always gotten so much enjoyment out of watching the adventures of a forlorn frog, his judo chopping pig girlfriend, and all their kooky friends (and no, it has nothing do with the fact that they all have some dude’s hand up their puppet rectums) but dagnabbit I love me some Muppets! After not really …
It’s a hard knock life, uh huh, it’s hard knock life! Remember little Orphan Annie? You don’t? Damn, I do feel old today. Anyway, the classic cartoons starred the Annie of the title, alongside her wealthy adoptive father Daddy Warbucks. Together, along with friends and allies, they took part in numerous adventures and hijinks of the wacky variety. A film …
Seth MacFarlane is a busy dude right now. He’s got an Oscars gig coming up, more work on his Family Guy TV series, a sequel for Ted in the works and most likely some more Robot Chicken voice-over work. But after the Oscars and before all that other jazz, he’s going to be starting work on A million ways to …
Before 2008, I doubt many people would have known who Pierre Morel is. Some of you may have stumbled across the director’s 2004 kung fu/parkour mashup District B13 (because clearly what martial arts movies were lacking was more jumping by French people!), but he certainly wasn’t a household name.

Time travel. Widely considered to be impossible by people with fancy papers in frames above their desks, it’s still an interesting topic to discuss. Hell, just look at the number of Doctor Who fans we have on this site alone. HG Wells created a new genre when he wrote the The Time Machine way back in 1895. And in 2002, …
You may recall last week that I said that there’s a good chance you would probably be seeing me talk a lot more about Brit Marling and Zal Batmanglij, and Momma Cloete never raised no liar! After the trailer for their latest collaboration, The East, hit last week, the film itself debuted at the Sundance Film Festival. It has been …
I’m actually kind of sad that Tim Burton never got to make his Superman Lives movie. By all accounts, it would have been crazy, weird and a 90 minute advert to sell more Superman toys. But dammit, it would have been worth it just to see Nicolas Cage as Clark Kent/Superman! Precious few photos or video have escaped from the …
A spooky European village. Properly scary castle mania. Vampires. Werewolves!
