Jason Apuzzo blogs…did I say blogs? I meant to say “does a doctoral thesis”…on Star Wars and the end of Hollywood’s last great age. Why We’re Going to Miss ‘Star Wars’ The opening where he recalls what it was like to watch a movie in the 1970s, in the days before piracy, home theaters and…

Mad Scottish squirrels. That’s the second funniest squirrel joke I’ve read this week! (If you don’t know what the first joke was, you forgot to buy a copy of “Nick Landime” this week, didn’t you?)

Mark Steyn gets ready for Batman Begins.

Batman Begins is getting some good press. Now that movie previews and reviews are coming out, I’ll have to admit, I’m surprised. Over a year ago, I was sent a copy of the script and I was sure it was bogus (like most of the scripts floating around the web) and it turns out to…

The Sith is in its third week…and third place, below a moderately interesting animated film and a remake of a 1970s football movie. This has got to be disappointing for Lucasfilm.

I should say I liked the Mystery Science Theater 3000 episode #811 where they made fun of Parts, the Clonus Horror because it contained some hilarious comments.…

Back in the mid-1990s, this movie called “Jerry Maguire” appeared. Before it debuted, the film company ran numerous trailers that were completely different in tone. Was it a sappy romantic comedy about Renee Zellwegger’s romance with Tom Cruise? Was it a cute comedy about Tom Cruise and this adorable, precocious kid? Was it going to…

Is it really possible that Adam Sandler’s new film The Longest Yard has seized first place from The Sith already?
