I had no idea the Muppet Christmas Carol movie I’ve probably seen a dozen times over the last 30 years was missing a key scene. It’s covered well in this video: Having watched the video it’s clear the movie makes SO MUCH MORE sense with the scene added. I remember seeing this the first time …

I don’t want to over-hype anything or give away any spoilers, but I will strongly suggest you go in as cold as you possibly can for Knives Out 2/Glass Onion. Try to avoid everything written about it over the next few days or weeks until you get to see it. All I will say for …
Magic Mike XXL is one of my all-time favorite movies. And I can’t wait for this: Looks fantastic. They somehow combined musical theater with male stripping and made a whole movie about the intersection. Or to put it in Venn diagram form:

I wanted to like This is 40 more than I did. I’d heard positive reviews from friends and heard Judd Apatow give a great interview on Jesse’s Bullseye (embeded below). The thing I heard in many reviews was how this comedy struck a common thread with people turning 40, and as a guy that is …
I saw The Avengers yesterday since everyone I know has been raving about it for weeks saying it was better than every other big budget comic book summer blockbuster (because it had a good script and good cinematography).

I've noticed many of the films and shows I've enjoyed over the past few years have featured actors that previously appeared in The Wire. Someone should build a site that calculates a number based on how many actors in a show or film previously appeared in The Wire. It could be calculated like so: (Actors …
