Theater owners want fewer spoilers in trailers. And if there's one group that Hollywood studios really listen to, it's theater owners.

Heath Holland On...Ringo!
This Ringo never drummed for The Beatles, but he was one of the fastest guns in all of spaghetti westerns. As the theme song tells us, “Ringo had an angel face, but whenever Ringo loved, Ringo fought.”
F This Movie! - GoldenEye
Patrick and Mike continue their Bond series with a look at Pierce Brosnan's first time out as 007. Did you ever know how they watched you from the shadows as a child?

Riske Business: The Crow 20 Years Later
For this week's Riske Business, I invited Mike & Adam Thas (Beta) to discuss Alex Proyas’ 1994 revenge talkie The Crow and figure out if we’re still genuine hot doggers or if the movie is all “Caw! Caw! Bang! Fuck, I’m dead!” The answers might surprise you.

Riske Business: Movie Crazy
This week’s column is dedicated to the discussion of that. That thing you did that was completely absurd or crazy because you loved movies.

Drunk on Foolish Pleasures: The Towering Inferno
What does a producer do after his 1972 film about a sinking cruise ship is the highest-grossing film of the year? Why, he makes an even bigger film the following year, and this time sets everyone on fire!
Review: Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit
by Adam Riske
Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit is very entertaining and just a fraction more interesting and compact than it should be. It’s not particularly memorable, but that’s ok. It’s a January release. If it's not horrible, it's an overachiever.

Drunk on Foolish Pleasures: The Poseidon Adventure
Over the next few weeks, I am going to talk about disaster movies and, tangentially, my love for disaster movies. So take my broken, bloody hand and come along on this adventure as we metaphorically slog through fires, earthquakes, alien invasions, maritime mishaps, really shitty weather... and shame.
A Deeper Look: The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug
Three brave warriors -- Heath, Mike and Patrick -- journey through the Desolation of Smaug to the Lonely Mountain. Was it worth the trip or should they have stayed back home in Hobbiton? Beware, o reader, for spoilers abound. Proceed at your own peril!

Review: Her (Adam Riske's Take)
by Adam Riske
Her is a very good movie and absolutely worth seeing. It is also a movie that made me feel worn out and unhappy. While possibly being one of the best movies of the year, I wouldn’t say it was one of my favorites.

Watchin' Trailerz with Doug (Jan. 10)
This week, a long-lost trailer for Louis C.K.'s 1998 film Tomorrow Night, featuring a young Steve Carell and J.B. Smoove (among other comics), was posted on YouTube. Look, I'd be lying if I said the film didn't look like film school 101 baloney, but it's Louis C.K., so whatever. Believe it or not, this movie actually screened at the Sundance Film Festival. Next month, you'll have the opportunity to purchase it from Louie's website for only $5. If that's your thing. Again, looks crappy, but it's Louis C.K., so whatever.

Alex's Top 10 of 2013
I think I might be done trying to instantly assess the overall quality of a given year’s slate of cinematic offerings like a gymnastics judge.

Try, gentle readers, on this coldest of days, to warm your hands and hearts by the fiery glow of my snark. Here is my personal collection of "movie badness" from 2013 -- some of these-- plot points, performances, casting choices, what have you -- were so bad, they were thrilling.

Mark Ahn Knows Kung fu: 47 Ronin and Man of Tai Chi
Keanu Reeves is the gateway to Americans understanding kung fu. And he might be the only thing that these two movies have in common.
