Boog the Bear and Elliott the Moose are up to their usual hijinks in the fourth (and final) film in the?Open Season?series of animated adventures about forrest animals. Five years after?Open Season 3 debuted, Sony unveiled a comedy/ghost story in the vein of a?Scooby Doo episode. Just like its canine companion,?Scared Silly?will make you laugh,…
George R.R. Martin isn’t terribly sentimental when it comes to his characters. We all (unless you live under a rock without HBO… or friends) know that Lord Stark was whacked at the end of the first novel – and the first season – of?Game of Thrones, stripping?the biggest name (Sean Bean) from the show. We…
The Big Short is set in 2008 and tells the true story of Michael Burry (Christian Bale), a Wall St. guru who foresaw the downfall of the US economy due to sub-prime mortgage fallout.

To quote Barney (not the purple one, but the?HIMYM?one),?In the Heart of the Sea?is… legendary. It tells the story of the story?behind?Herman Melville’s Moby Dick, that of the 1820 (mis)adventures of the whaling ship Essex. Off the coast of Nantucket (where all the good whaling stories live!) the Essex encounters excitement and tragedy in pursuit…
Run, don’t walk, to?Zootopia. Take your spouse, your kids, even the neighbors kids. And recognize that the anthropomorphic world of the rabbit, Judy Hopps (Ginnifer Goodwin,?Once Upon a Time) and the fox, Nick Wilde (Jason Bateman,?The Gift,?Horrible Bosses) is about us – yes, it’s about you and me. Here, farm bunny Judy dreams of being…
Good old John Doe #83. He?s the envy of every man. Not only can he get inside a woman?s head, he can actually make her see things she believes to be reality. ?Yep, honey, I re-tiled the bathroom floor yesterday. You hadn?t noticed?? ?Happy birthday, honey! I hope you like your ring. Yes, that is…
