BANANA!!!  Man, it felt good to get that out of my system.  Try it.  Trust me.  People will stop and stare, then leave you alone.  At least the people who don’t get it.  And let’s face it, who’s got time for that bunched-up-underwear crowd anyway? Despicable Me was not only one of my favorite animated [...]

Much of my free time, what little of it there is, I spend aimlessly meandering around the web looking for things to amuse me.  If I’m lucky I’ll find something I think you’ll find amusing, too.  I realized it had been some time since I made my way over to ShortOfTheWeek.com to see what indie [...]

The Rebel Alliance had it easy, what with calling themselves “knights,” wearing white a lot, and not going around blowing up planets just to prove a point.  You’d think with his stylin’ cybernetic duds, complete mastery of the force, and his silky-smooth James Earl Jones voice Darth Vader would be appreciated.  But no, everybody remembers [...]

Before seeing the trailer for Jack the Giant Slayer I thought this was going to be a straight-up fantasy adventure, and while that’s not entirely untrue, the film looks like it may keep its tongue planted in firmly in cheek as well.  It definitely gives off a vibe that makes me think a little of [...]

Sometimes it seems like just about everything in this world could kill you in one way or another.  A little education could just save your life and Dumb Ways to Die sets out to accomplish this goal in a hilariously entertaining way.  I promise you’ll never find a happier way to stay safe. The program [...]

This just in: (I’ve always wanted to say that).  Okay, so it was released November 2 and my lazy butt is just getting to it, but there’s another chuckleworthy, minion-filled teaser trailer for Despicable Me 2.  If you know me, you probably have a restraining order out on me.  Beside that you probably also know [...]

A few years back Joseph Gordon-Levitt (Inception, Looper) started an online production company he calls hitRECord.  Described by him as an “open-collaborative production company” the site’s purpose is to bring together artists of every type to work together on projects that will turn heads and hopefully a profit as well.  They’ve made short films, music, [...]

Ham Sandwich is a humorous short film from Atom Films & Comedy Central about a poor guy who, much like Rodney Dangerfield, never gets any respect.  Baxter is working for no pay as an intern in an office where nobody appreciates him and he just can’t seem to catch a break.  His boss puts him [...]

As an avid fan of Marc Webb’s career to date I found myself growing more and more excited as I approached the impending screening date last week. As many reviews across the land have already sung, it was truly amazing. A well known local indie girl, I go into my cinema with different things in [...]

Way back in March (You remember March, right?  That was when it wasn’t 4000º during the day.) we showed you the first trailer of the Disney-backed Tim Burton creation Frankenweenie.  (If you didn’t see it, you can still check it out here: Frankenweenie – (Re)Animated Stop Action Fun)  That trailer gave you a good idea [...]

Robot and Frank is part buddy comedy, part old style heist, and all heart.  The story takes place in the near future and revolves around Frank (Frank Langella), an aging former jewel thief whose memory is beginning to fail him.  His son, played by James Marsden, decides to give him a caretaker robot to look [...]

So you’re a wolf with a dead-end, boring job as a window washer for a high-rise office building.  Not exactly the kind of career that caters to your carnivorous canine cravings, right?  Well, one day as you clean one of those grimy windows the dirt gives way to clarity and your gaze falls upon the [...]

Marty Weaver is just an average guy looking to provide a better life for his wife and kids.  When a home comes on the market in the exclusive gated community of Hidden Hills Marty snags it up so he can finally give his family the safe, normal life he’s always dreamed of.  He couldn’t have [...]

Please forgive me if it seems I’m pushing the limits by including this on Three if by Space, but I do feel imminently qualified as my wife has been saying for years that I’m an expert at pushing her.  While she may be referring to the limits of her patience, her ability to resist strangling [...]

If you’re thinking to yourself, “Another horror film about a Cabin-O-Death®?  Meh.” then either stop thinking or think again.  The Cabin in the Woods is a revitalizing twist on a clichéd premise guaranteed to make you change your mind about this old horror trope.  Leave it to Joss Whedon and Drew Goddard to take a [...]
