In this episode, TJ steps back a few weeks to review a film that’s been out a little over a month since the film he wanted to see is in limited release and not playing in Nashville at this time. But Alfonso Cuaron’s ‘Gravity’ is a great film and worthy of a little more attention. So TJ dives in with his thoughts on Sandra Bullock’s performance, the majesty and beauty of the film despite being so CGI heavy, the intensity and more.

TJ brings you news of the top box office spots. Of course ‘Thor: The Dark World’ dominated by a wide margin. And TJ really like the film so that’s a good thing as far as he’s concerned. There’s a ‘Hunger Games’ theme park coming. Yeah… talk about missing the point. Lionsgate seems determined in this folly though. Jeremy Renner is getting another Bourne film. TJ would like to be reminded of why anyone would want to do yet another Bourne film without, you know, Bourne. And back to ‘Thor’, TJ wrote a review of ‘Thor: The Dark World’, and released not one, but TWO podcasts about it this past week that you’ll want to check out. We got a trailer for Maleficent starring Angelina Jolie. Why? Darren Aronofsky’s ‘Noah’ got a trailer on Thursday. The Mario Bros. get a gritty realistic short film series that’s kind of weird and fun at the same time. And then, wow, there’s the ‘Super Smash Wars’ which just totally works! And of course, find out what to see this weekend.

Prepare for the epic-ness in what is quite possibly the most awesomely title episode of MovieByte ever! This episode brings together four of the best podcasters the nine realms have ever seen. Join TJ, Chad, Joe and Fizz to discuss the current state of the Marvel Cinematic universe. Find out which films have been better and which don’t work so well in the differing opinions of these four. Spend a short amount of time with them in reviewing the first ‘Thor’ film. And finally, take an epic walk through the finer point, intricacies and details of ‘Thor: The Dark World’.

In this episode, TJ gives his brief review of ‘Thor: The Dark World’, and why it’s much better than the first film. In fact, it’s a pretty good Marvel film in general. It features great chemistry between Thor and Jane, plenty of fun and humor, plenty of seriousness, and a lot of Loki. What’s not to like? Of course it’s not all roses as there are “some” issues.

Join TJ, Chad and Mike Fissel to discuss ‘Ender’s Game’ in all its facets. The film was both good and bad, glorious and disappointing. This produces much lively conversation on what was missed, the pacing, how it could have been better, and in general what it’s strengths and weaknesses are. Other topics of conversation include why there was no episode last week, some brief thoughts on ‘Escape Plan’, Movies all three are looking forward to, TJ’s new video podcast, ‘ByteSized’, and ‘Thor: The Dark World’! You won’t want to miss it!

In this inaugural episode, TJ reviews Ender’s Game. He found it to be fun and enjoyed it, but also found it lacking. The pacing was off and important things were left out of the film while unimportant things were kept. But it was still a lot of fun and it is recommended. 3.5 of 5 stars.

‘Ender’s Game’ took the top spot at the box office this past week. But whether it can keep up or not in the face of competition from ‘Thor: The Dark World’ remains to be seen. ‘Agents of SHIELD’ is getting a crossover with the upcoming ‘Thor’ film a couple weeks after it comes out, which sounds like a load of fun. Bill Condon has some theories on why his film ‘The Fifth Estate’ didn’t do well. Joe Cornish is rumored to be the next director of the ‘Star Trek’ film franchise. TJ has never heard of him but would be glad of a fresh perspective on the series. ‘The Hunger Games: Catching Fire’ is tracking to open to a massive $185 Million. There’s a new 3-minute trailer for ‘The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug’ that looks to be the best yet. TJ wrote his Ender’s Game review this past week. You should check that out. Jon Favreau is in talks to direct the upcoming film from Disney, ‘The Jungle Book.’ Why this film needed to be made is beyond TJ’s comprehension. Saoirse Ronan did not get the ‘Star Wars’ role she auditioned for, which is too bad, really. Blockbuster is calling it quits with it’s retail locations and plans to become a distributer only of movies. This seemed inevitable. ‘Star Wars VII’ has a release date, even though it has no title. The film is scheduled to open on December 18, 2015. And of course, find out what to see this weekend!
