We know how it is: You’d like to go to the movies this weekend, but you really hate those 3D glasses– oh, who are we kidding: you’re gonna see Avatar this weekend if you have to knock over someone’s granny for a ticket. But just in case you’re feeling the slightest bit guilty about having … more…

I bet James Cameron’s Avatar won’t combine live action and animation with the same goofy panache as this flick did. Who Framed Roger Rabbit is available on DVD … more…
The movie won’t open till just before Christmas, but already James Cameron’s Avatar is being hyped to levels that it seems impossible it could actually meet. We already know, for instance, that this is the movie Cameron has been actively working to drive cinematic technology forward in the last 15 years in order to make: … more…
The Best Picture category at the Oscars is gonna be wider than it has been before, what with a doubling from five to ten slots for nominees for 2009, but is it still a stretch to expect a movie with geek cred to get a nom? I’m not so sure. If I hadn’t sworn off … more…
