I didn't always agree with Movie Bob, sometimes I even strongly disagreed like when he said we should cut Michael Bay some slack, but I enjoyed Movie Bob's take on movies and pop culture. Really hope the Escapist starts getting in some talent because it seems like there is less and content...

Matt Ryan worked great as Constantine but the problem is the rest of the cast just wasn't characters to get into. If it wasn't a scene with either Constantine or Papa Midnight then my interest in what was going on tended to drop off. I think it was also going to be a really hard sell because...

If it was just the Marvel/Disney movies going superhero costumes it would be one thing. But now the Flash on CW is going superhero costumes on TV. Heck Green Arrow even got his mask after it seemed that viewers wanted comic book stuff not "realism". Ultimate Fantastic Four also seems to get...

Wow, I guess it's something when you can make a trailer that makes the movie look even worse than the other Fantastic Four movies. I thought Edge of Tomorrow was the height of generic trailers, but this is some sort of new level for bland, generic, and making your movie uninteresting. With...

2014 the year I almost decided to give up on movies for good. A handful of good films in 2014, but it seems like you had to crawl around in a sewer to find that candy bar still in the wrapper.

I think the movie might be remembered as the first big crack between the studios and the chain theaters. While some small independent films have gotten around the chain theaters for the most part studios and chain theaters have been rather locked together. But by the chain theaters...

I've got to disagree about it being a good film year. Yes there were films that remembered to have fun and movies that gave us something truly interesting with characters and story. But there was way too much bland and boring as Hollywood tried too hard to play things safe and hoped that...

Hum it's kind of interesting that two films are out where you can't be critical of the film without someone making you out to be a horrible person for not finding it a great film. American Sniper for the reasons Bob stated and Annie. I've seen where some people wanted to make it racist to...

I think the article title is a little misleading. Movies cycle in and out at Netflix so for some of these films it will be gone for now but they might return at some point. I've had some cult classics I've enjoyed on Netflix streaming leave in the past only to pop back up on my favorites when...

With movie theater chains giving in so quickly and easily you have to wonder will they cave just as easily if ISIL or another group decides it wants attention by treating to attack showing of the new Star Wars film, Avengers 2, or Superman vs Batman? What's to keep another group from pulling...

I'm going to have to disagree. After the Boston Marathon bombing people didn't say I'll never visit Boston again and I'll never take part in a marathon, people rallied around Boston and run marathons became a way to defy domestic terrorist. When the World Trade Center and Pentagon were...

Well I guess it's time to boycott Sony movies if they are going to cave to terrorist. Although given the films Sony Studios has been putting out people will not be missing much by boycotting Sony. But hey I guess next time some fandom doesn't want a crappy Hollywood version of something...

I think it was good to use the old age excuse because there was the glaring problem of Toph being so powerful that she could pretty much end it by herself and then what is there for Korra to do?

I don't think we can be shocked it's bad. Hasbro desperately wants to be a media company like Marvel but they are still in the phase of approving just about anything just to get their brands out there. Perhaps one day Hasbro Studios will decide hey quality is important, but making any money...

Being able to afford to costume and go to conventions to show off your costume without having a full time job to pay for it? Someone needs to write an article on how that's done.
