“How are ye, Sheriff?” “Old.”

No kidding! And he still can’t act. Still.

Seriously, this movie looks beyond stupid, which I admit may make it worthwhile seeing in itself. Sometimes — just every so often — if a movie is stupid enough its almost kind of fun in a mocking sort of way.

The “S.H.I.E.L.D.” series is moving along with fan favorite Clark Gregg back in action and TV veteran Ming-Na Wen (“ER” and “SGU Stargate Universe”) recently coming on board, and now there’s a start date on the horizon. According to Variety’s Marc Graser, the Joss Whedon produced series will start shooting in January. We presume that this means it will be aimed as an addition to the fall 2013 TV lineup on ABC (owned by Disney).

You can be sure this is one TV show I will be adding to my watch list.

So Revolution’s mystery of the power blackout across the world is starting to unravel. This past Monday, Monroe got pretty serious about getting intel on where the pendants might be. Rachel has already revealed to him that the key to turning the power back on lies in these strange looking devices. No we are finding out that [SPOILER] Rachel and Ben were, at least in part, responsible for the blackout in the first place.

Flashbacks

Flashing back to when Rachel was pregnant with a baby boy (presumably Danny), she and Ben, along with co-worker Grace were attempting to come up with a method…

I have a confession to make. I have avoided 3D movies pretty much all of my life, believing them to be gimmicky and stupid. As such, I had never seen a film in 3D before this past weekend. Yes, you read that right. Here it is in 2012 and I had never seen a movie in 3D. I’ve been to many, many, many, movies, but never once have I ever had the desire to see a film in 3D.

I knew that I needed to see at least one film in 3D so that I could better speak to the phenomenon. So I saw Wreck-it Ralph in 3D. The decision to see this particular film in 3D was somewhat difficult. I didn’t yet know how…

How do you describe Flight in one sentence? Easy, like this: Flight is a film about substance abuse.

Substance Abuse

Question, how do our lead characters in this film even have a liver left? There’s a lot of substance abuse in this film, and in many ways it is a somewhat compelling, if not completely satisfying drama. The drugs and alcohol are not the only adult themes in this film either. The film opens to show us just how depraved Captain Whip Whitaker is by showing him in a bedroom scene with someone named Trina (Katerina Marquez) whom we very soon discover is a flight attendant on…

Doom may have flopped, and Scott Pilgrim vs. the World may have been all buzz and no buck, but Disney’s Wreck-It Ralph proved that there is a place for videogame-themed movies at the box office this weekend.

The $165 million animated film topped the chart with $49.1 million out of 3,752 theaters — the strongest debut ever for a Walt Disney Animation production (i.e. not including Pixar titles). Disney’s Tangled opened with a whopping $48.8 million over the more lucrative Thanksgiving weekend in 2010, so Wreck-It Ralph‘s slightly larger bow (and its hefty $13,086 per theater average)…

Why you should watch Star Wars movies out of order

The other day, TJ Draper and I recorded our MovieByte podcast. In this latest episode, we talked about the eventful Star Wars news, and what it means for future episodic releases in the franchise.

But TJ couldn’t help himself. He wanted to address films I through VI too. It was actually a lively discussion, seeing as how no two Star Wars fans’ perspectives of the films are exactly alike, there was room for debate about the merits of each film.

In so doing, TJ remarked that he likes to watch the films in the Machete Order. I hadn’t the…

Although no one outside of Lucas and Disney executives know the content of the planned movie sequels, the first of which would come out in 2015, they will more than likely be original tales.

That means Zahn’s books won’t be directly adapted, but the author says that was always the case: “The books were always just the books.”

But years ago, he was briefed on Lucas’ plans for sequels, and how the Thrawn books would fit in. “The original idea as I understood it— and Lucas changes his mind off and on, so it may not be what he’s thinking right now – but it was going to be three…

We’re referring, of course, to the show’s suddenly single shrink Sweets, whose break-up with Daisy left him essentially homeless. Enter Booth, who invites him to crash at Casa de B&B.

The catch? He never vetted the new houseguest with his significant other!

I am a long time fan, but I’m experiencing some serious frustration with this show right now. Why are we messing with the relationships? Why did Sweets break up with Daisy, again? What are these stupid rumors of breaking up the beloved Hodgins and Angela? Grrr. TV Shows.
