    Escape to the Movies: Trailer Park - Star Wars, Jurassic World & Terminator

    I was a little pissed off when I saw the new Terminator trailer, seemed to me that Hollywood was just taking a massive dump all over a sci-fi classic just to make more money. But I am surprised that you're putting a positive spin on this and it encourages me to have a more open mind about it...

    Escape to the Movies: Leprechaun: Origins - Fool's Gold

    I'm kind of surprised you didn't mention anything about the Ghostbusters 30th Anniversary re-release this weekend.

    The Big Picture: Leave Michael Bay Alone

    Haven't you conjectured before that Bay thinks humanity kind of sucks as a whole? What if all of his movies is him fulfilling his own opinion?

    The Big Picture: Orphan, Black? - A Look At The New Annie

    Pretty much this, though I might take my niece to see if if she wants. BTW, literally face-palmed when you said what Foxx's character name was.

    Escape to the Movies: Son of God

    Good review, Bob. I was very curious to see how you would handle this flick due to the misgivings you have over some of the, for lack of a better term, source material. Also, regarding Sandler being involved in Pixels, just remember, he also brought us the awesome "Here Comes the Boom."

    Escape to the Movies: The Lego Movie

    I do like how they skewered the Chosen One trope, but it very nearly became the even worse Everyone is Special trope. However, I think it dodged that particular Lego brick to head by having other "specials" get off their duffs and do something. Also, I don't think Arnett was going for a...

    Escape to the Movies: The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug

    "But that rainbow one kicked me." Yeah, that was going through my head during this video. I'm completely hopeless...

    The Big Picture: Pink Is Not The Problem

    One thing I found interesting during this video. You said, and I'm paraphrasing, stuff is just stuff. It is the purpose that stuff is used for that can be good or bad. I think that's a great point. However, I think you should also consider that frame of reference when speaking on guns and...

    The Big Picture: Pink Is Not The Problem

    When I was in middle school, taking shop and sewing/home economics were required courses for both boys and girls. Contrast that with when my mom was in school and only the boys got to take shop while the girls were relegated to classes forcing them to be housewives. Of course these days NO...

    Escape to the Movies: Ender's Game

    So they did nothing with Locke or Demosthenes? That's a real disappointment. I read Ender's Game when I was younger and really liked it. Then I read Speaker for the Dead and LOVED IT. I recommend them to any fan of Sci-Fi.

    The Big Picture: Schlocktober 2013: From Hell it Came

    It's funny that you frame the white scientists as douchey. A lot of what they're saying sounds like rants from pseudoliberals on a message board talking about how backwards conservatives are.

    The Big Picture: Schlocktober 2013: Dead Heat

    Is it just me, or did the scene where Treat Williams and undead(?) security guard try to out-Uzi each other to death remind anyone of playing Call of Duty Multiplayer? Two dudes just standing emptying clips into each other until one of them is dead.

    Escape to the Movies: Machete Kills

    One of the reasons I stayed away from Machete was because I figured it was going to make cartoon characters out of anyone who was opposed to immigration reform. Just once, I'd like a film that talks about Mexican immigration to the US to show that just because a person feels we should patrol...

    Fifth Estate, Third Rail

    You've done it again, Bob. You've managed to sell me on a movie that I was dubious about. Before your review of the A-Team movie three years ago, I wouldn't have touched it because I wrongly wrote it off as another cash-grab for Hollywood to trample upon my 80s nostalgia. Sounds like this...
