Between offending Sarah Palin fans, the start of principal photography on House of Cards Season 2 and the supposed Great Purge of titles that hit this week, Netflix had an interesting week. Sarah Palin is not worth talking about — ever, and we know nothing about House of Cards yet. Streamaggedon, as it was called, is...

It’ll be a short one this week as there really isn’t that much going on that doesn’t involve movies that are open in Orlando yet. The thing that gave me the red ass this week was all of this NRA bullshit about movies and video games making people violent, and the ridiculous idea that...

Every 10 years dating back to 1952, the British Film Institute’s official magazine, Sight & Sound, issues a challenge worldwide to filmmakers and critics: give us your top 10 films of all time, and they have.

Uh… hey. It’s Saturday afternoon. And I’ll admit it, I completely forgot this was due. My dog ate my homework. Then it was spat out, into a puddle. A puddle of slobber from the mouth of a poodle.

So, we’ve been away from the Roundup for two weeks now and I’ve collected a whopping two stories over that time. Two. Honestly. Nothing about my scouting routine changed, there is just nothing going on lately except nonsense year end lists (except our year end list, which was awesome, of course), which are swiftly...

Nothing happened this week. Seriously. There were some awful trailers for crap like What to Expect when You’re Expecting, and New Years Eve got sent through the critical buzzsaw as pretty much every who wasn’t involved in making it thought it would. Okay, the two things that happened this week were the Scott Rudin/David...
