F This Movie! - The Overrated, the Underrated and the Ugly of 2012

Patrick and JB return for their annual show on the year's movies that you should have seen, might have seen and must never see.

Weekend Weigh-in: What Are Your 2013 Movie Resolutions?

2012 is almost over, and we are no longer wearing pull-ups. It's time to start planning for next year.

25 Good Movies Released in 2012

In the next two weeks, we'll be recording our annual "Overrated, Underrated & Ugly" and "Best of the Year" podcasts. We'll be publishing lists of our favorite movies from 2012 from all of the F This Movie! contributors. With all the talk of 'best' this and 'worst' that, a lot of stuff will be flying under the radar. These movies won't make my "best of" list. They won't be on the "overrated" or the "underrated" lists. They're flawed, but they're good movies. 2012 had a lot of those. They should be recognized.

F This Movie! - This is 40

Patrick and Erika spend Christmas talking marriage, family, Judd Apatow and Megan Fox's boobs. This is 40.

Happy Holidays from F This Movie!

Weekend Weigh-in: What Do You Want for Christmas?

It's the holiday season! Even if you don't celebrate Christmas, you should play along.

Watchin' Trailerz with Doug (The Apocalypse)

Well, this is it! Nice knowing you!

I'll Watch Anything: Patrick Watches Santa Claus: The Movie

by Patrick Bromley

Like Katherine Heigl and Larry the Cable Guy, Santa Claus seems incapable of starring in a good movie.

Director Essentials: Steven Spielberg

by Patrick Bromley

Of all the Director Essentials columns that I've done so far, this one was the hardest.

Unsung!: Miller's Crossing

When the conversation turns to the Coen brothers, no one ever talks about Miller’s Crossing. Blood Simple? Sure. Fargo? You betcha. Big Lebowski; O Brother, Where Art Thou?; No Country for Old Men; and True Grit? Obviously. But not a word about Miller’s Crossing. Why?

Review: 10 Years

There is no shortage of movies built around high school reunions. The Best of Times. Peggy Sue Got Married. Grosse Pointe Blank. Romy & Michelle's High School Reunion. Just earlier this year there was American Reunion, a terrible, lifeless comedy that couldn't make us care about the adult lives of a group of characters even though we had already spent three movies with them. This year's much better reunion movie is the barely-released comedy drama 10 Years, written and directed by Jamie Linden. It's a high school reunion movie less concerned with looking back than with examining the present. It presents no real villains, nor characters with longtime scores to settle. It's not as good as Ted Demme's great Beautiful Girls, but it belongs much more in that conversation than it does with junk like American Reunion.

F This Movie! - Hitchcock

You should listen to Patrick and JB talk about Hitchcock even if you haven't seen Hitchcock, because they just might stop you from ever seeing Hitchcock.

Weekend Weigh-in: What Did You Think of The Hobbit?

For those of you who went back to Middle Earth this weekend, here's your place to let us know what you thought.

Watchin' Trailerz with Doug (Dec. 14)

Very important trailerz this week, F-Heads. Like, SUPER significant stuff (and even some odd, novelty entries, like this Japanese ad for Iron Man 3). Seems like the studios are really pushing out previews for their marquee movies all at once. Almost as if they think that next week ... will be too late? Hmmm. Go figure. #nomorepullups

Doug Asks Patrick Questions About Movies

Patrick knows a lot about movies. Doug has seen Kissing a Fool dozens of times. In an effort to expand Doug's cinematic horizons, he'll be asking Patrick questions about movies in a column we're calling "Doug Asks Patrick Questions About Movies."

Heavy Action: Death Wish 2 / The Exterminator

"Revenge is a dish best served cold." - Old Klingon Proverb

Unsung!: Confessions of a Dangerous Mind

With the talent involved in this film, how could it have failed at the box office? That is not a rhetorical question. I am waiting. HOW COULD IT HAVE FAILED?
Answer me.

F This Movie! - Silent Night, Deadly Night Commentary

Here's your Christmas gift from F This Movie! We're sorry.

Weekend Weigh-in: Let's Play #movieshame

Everyone can play along!

Watchin' Trailerz with Doug (Dec. 7)

Today lives in infamy, folks! Good thing the new Star Trek Into Darkness teaser was released yesterday (featured after the jump). Otherwise, you know ... INFAMY. As exemplified by arguably the best trailer for the worst movie, Michael Bay's craptacular Pearl Harbor! Sorry, greatest generation -- Hitler and his Nazi thugs strike again!

Review: Zero Dark Thirty

Zero Dark Thirty is a very good movie. Nothing more, nothing less.

F This Movie! - Fargo

Patrick and JB talk about Fargo. Mostly.

Unsung!: The Other

by JB

Three novels are published in a four-year span; all three concern evil children. All three novels are runaway best sellers. All three novels are made into movies. Two of those movies are runaway blockbusters. The other movie is The Other.

Heavy Action: Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning

by Patrick Bromley

I haven't yet broken the Direct-to-Video seal on Heavy Action (it's going to happen soon), and Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning is the closest I've come. But the movie is actually getting a small theatrical run -- in 3-D, no less, though I can't conceive of a world in which this movie needs to be seen in 3-D or how it would be improved by the format -- so I'm getting by on a technicality.

Weekend Weigh-in: What Movies Are Your Holiday Season Traditions?

It's December now, which can mean only one thing: 25 days of Reindeer Games!
