Note: This review contains spoilers for Iron Man 3 and Star Trek Into Darkness. Marvel is making cinematic history. In the wake of 2008′s Iron Man the studio called their shot and planned a series of films that would culminate in the first cinematic superhero team-up The Avengers, and while they stumbled a bit here and [...]

Judd Apatow has finally passed his sell by date. The comedic genius behind Freaks and Geeks, Undeclared, Knocked Up, and The Forty Year Old Virgin hasn’t lost his touch but he’s certainly lost perspective. 2009′s Funny People was a creative misfire that showed his ambition to be more than the dick-and-fart jokes guy, but This [...]

The studio has released two Diamond Editions each year since BluRay won the [...]

There are few family films as bold and daring as ParaNorman. Don’t let that shitty title fool you: this is the kind of animation we all thought Pixar would be pumping out on a regular basis before they sold out with Cars. ParaNorman is a smart, progressive little movie that everyone should see, but particularly [...]
