The rise of Seth MacFarlane as a movie player, with the phenomenal success of Ted? The arrival of 48fps? Disney’s purchase of Lucasfilm? Something else?

question of the day: Why is Skyfall resonating so powerfully with British audiences?

Mon, Dec 03, 2012

Skyfall has passed Titanic to become the No. 2 all-time box office champ in the U.K., and it’s within spitting distance of surpassing the No. 1 film, Avatar. What the heck is going on?

Ice Age: Continental Drift (review)

It’s movies like this one that make me despair. Because it is going to make a bazillion bucks at the box office around the world, and there’s absolute nothing here that warrants such success.
