JK Rowling second-guesses pairing Hermione and Ron, fans explode.
Now it seems there are three camps of Harry Potter fans, pro Ron, anti-Ron, and those that couldn’t really care less about a two fictitious character’s relationship. I have my own opinions on the matter; if you have any attachment to these characters, it’s nearly impossible to have some form of opinion. My opinions here […]
The Death of Philip Seymour Hoffman will not delay the Hunger Games
When an actor dies, it is sometimes while they still have work to complete. Sometimes a project they had yet to begin goes unmade. Sometimes a film is unfinished because they cannot recover from the loss. Still, sometimes, an actor has completed just enough, or a director/studio is creative enough, to complete the film in […]
Make time for The Monuments Men
The Monuments Men is a remarkably fascinating story, told under the steady and reliable hands of George Clooney. While the movie was, as a whole, entertaining, it was not as riveting as it feels like it should have been. Perhaps part of that comes from the phenomenal cast and the reputation they bring with them. […]

The Lego Movie builds an awesomely entertaining brick universe.
The creative minds behind The Lego Movie built such a creative an entertaining universe I am already itching for more awesome. What’s more awesome is both of my kids are in the exact same boat. It’s impossible to tell walking out of that theatre if the adults or the children enjoyed the film more. Although […]

Aardvark is Aawful
We frequently receive request to review small, independently distributed films. To speak honestly, these are usually not high quality films, but occasionally one will have a good original story, or show a young filmmaker with potential. I enjoy these because it can be fun to see what a creative mind can produce when they are […]

Until then, just watch this over and over again, and discuss […]
Coming Soon: Opening this week Jan 30th

We occasionally get some great independent gems that are overflow from Sundance, but those are limited in release and usually don’t gain traction until a wide release or they hit Netflix. This week we have: January 29 […]
Count Arthur Strong is comedy defined.
The history of terrific situation comedy broadcast in the United Kingdom reads like a list of television programs. If you look closer, the print is larger, but if you read between the lines, you will see you are probably not as familiar with British comedy as you thought. Take that as a lesson you smug bastard. History is […]
Graham Linehan & Steve Delaney interview, co-creators of Count Arthur Strong.
On Monday 1/27 I had the undeniable pleasure of speaking with Graham Linehan and Steve Delaney co-creators of Count Arthur Strong. We laughed, I cried, they wondered why they were talking to some guy from Utah, and I pretended to understand those funny accents. More importantly, we talked about their show, Count Arthur Strong, which […]
