    The Big Picture: Shell Shock

    People saying Michael Bay has made TMNT crap, I'd like to pose a question to you: Hasn't TMNT always been absolute crap?

    The Oscars Are Going to Suck

    Slumdog Millionaire is a very popular film here in the UK and a great film overall in my estimation (then again I am a Danny Boyle fanboy) Will have to disagree with Bob on 'The Artist' there, I found it entertaining throughout and different. Also, the use of silence definitely is not a...

    Test Your Might

    Bob, I'm not sure if you've already answered this question, but do you think of Apocalypse Now considering the animal slaughter in that film.

    Escape to the Movies: The Phantom Menace 13 Years Later

    I grew up in the best time to be a star wars fan, and not it wasn't the 70s or the 80s. Born 1993 Watched originall trilogy multiple times 1997-1999 ROTJ is still my favourite film of all time Watched Phantom Menace at the Odeon in Leisceter Square 1999 Loved it Watched Attack of the...

    DC Unveils Watchmen Prequels

    Rather than be a cynical asshole. I look forward to what these new guys can do with the Watchmen, it could be really interesting. Oh and it is horrible how the article implies (in an awfully unsubtle way) that the guy who initially refused was won over by money. Say what you will, these...

    The Big Picture: Oscars: The Grouse

    Stammer and stage fright are not "loveable" impediments. The reason why 'The King's Speech' won Oscars was because it was a good film. It was popular with audiences, if you strip away the stuff about class, monarchy and everything else it is about two people who become friends through...

    Say something nice about the Star Wars Prequel. If you can.

    Lots of cool new characters that were later explored in the comics (Ki-Adi Mundi) Nice lightsaber fights, although the battles in 5 and 6 were much better IMO. Ewan Mcgergor did an awesome job of becoming a young Alec Guinness i thought and I felt he deserved a lot more recognition for his...

    What does the Escapist think of Chekhov?

    I just finished reading 'Ivanov' (I also read 'The Seagull' last year) and was wondering what you guys at the Escapist think of his writing. I personally enjoy it very much. His characters seem so vibrant and their language is so expressive. I really enjoy reading it basically.

    Movies that you are told are bad, that you consider good.

    Well I can't be held accountable for the taste of my friends. My personal favourite is The Artist and I hope it will (though I highly doubt) that it will lead to more silent films being made.

    Movies that you are told are bad, that you consider good.

    Seeing as any film I want to see that isn't Shark Night 3D or anything of that ilk is met with the reaction from my friends as "gay", my list would be way too long. But here are some highlights from this year: Drive Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy The Artist Arietty

    Escape to the Movies: The Artist

    'The Artist' was probably my favourite film of the year. I disagree with Bob on the idea that being a silent film is a gimmick. The way I see it, silent films are like a certain flavour, and I fucking love that flavour. I've enjoyed watching silent films for some time now and while almost...

    For me it is KOTOR.

    The Big Picture: MovieBob's 2011 Top Ten

    crude criticism= bad criticism= bad opinion based on nothing. Care to elaborate on why you didn't find it funny? Also, pulling the subjectivity card means nothing.

    The Big Picture: MovieBob's 2011 Top Ten

    I am not butthurt that you didn't like the movie because personally I didn't find it amazing either, it had created good characters, only not to have most of them develop enough in the short running time. My main gripe with your post is that your reasons for hating it are for the most part...
