News Around the Net!
OK, this is the greatest thing I have seen in a long time (BUT BEWARE SPOILERS IF YOU ARE NOT UP TO DATE WITH GAME OF THRONES!!!) I love The Princess Bride! I’ve completely lost faith in M. Night Shyalaman over the past decade, but that being said I still think Unbreakable is hi

Ape Management Part 7: Josh reviews Rise of the Planet of the Apes!
When I first started to read about the possibility of a new Planet of the Apes film, a few years back, I thought the central concept was at once incredibly gutsy and yet at the same time quite boringly predictable. The idea of remaking not the first Planet of the Apes (the way Tim Bur
Ape Management Part 6: Tim Burton’s Planet of the Apes (2001)
My friends and I discovered the Planet of the Apes films in college. We’d taken to visiting the local rental store, trying to fill in the gaps in our movie-watching histories. Basically, we rented films that we felt we really SHOULD see, since we considered ourselves movie-f

Ape Management Part 2: Beneath the Planet of the Apes (1969)
Last week I began my project to re-watch all five original Planet of the Apes movies by re-watching the original Planet of the Apes from 1967. Today, we move to discuss the first sequel: 1969’s Beneath the Planet of the Apes. For whatever reason, Charlton Heston only participa
Ape Management Part 1: Planet of the Apes (1967)
I am a big, big fan of the original five Planet of the Apes films (released between 1967 and 1973). They’re so marvelously ambitious and earnest and, at the same time, so laughably silly, that I’ve always held a great fondness for the series. While all four sequels rep
Apes! Apes! Apes! Apes! Apes! Apes!
I am loving the latest teaser trailer for the new Planet of the Apes flick: To this day I remain ridiculously in love with the five original Planet of the Apes flicks (the less we discuss Tim Burton’s “re-imagining,” the better) and am starting to get very cautiousl
