This review is from ABC KTKA-49, where Eric’s reviews run every Friday night on the 6′ o clock news. His rating for “Despicable Me” — the Swiss Fist — stands for complete neutrality and is very rarely used; only in the most mediocre of circumstances. “Despicable Me” is the first computer-animated film from a new […]
With the exception of “Toy Story 3,” the last two months have produced some really underwhelming and mediocre summer movies. All that changes as “The Last Airbender” enters theaters this weekend. We now have the summer’s first bonafide stinker—a supposed fantasy adventure that has all the magic and mystery of a bologna sandwich. Adapted from […]
Eric Melin welcomes guest host and certified Twihard Kristin Dittmar, who is a member of Team Jacob to review The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, the third installment of the Twilight series. Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, and Taylor Lautner are back again as Bella Swan is put in a vampire – werewolf love triangle. Isn’t that the dream […]

Eric Melin and Trevan McGee review the latest from Pixar, “Toy Story 3.” It’s been 11 years since “Toy Story 2,” and true fans of the series may be worried that there was no reason to revisit Woody (Tom Hanks), Buzz (Tim Allen), and the rest of Andy’s toys for another installment. Is “Toy Story […]
Here is Eric’s on-camera review of “The A-Team,” which will be broadcast on KTKA-49‘s 6-o’clock news tonight. At the end of “The A-Team,” a huge supertanker is exploded and an aerial view makes the 100 or so enormous box cars strewn all over the port look like little Lego toys. And that’s essentially how this […]

As my paper-thin Top 10 Best Fourth Movies in a Franchise list from last year proves, the fourth time is almost never a charm. Such is the case here. (courtesy KTKA-49) “Shrek Forever After” is the fourth film in the popular DreamWorks animated franchise, and the first one to be screened in 3D. Since we’re […]
Today we have a print review from Trevan and a video review from Eric that both basically say the same thing: The Russell Crowe-led “Robin Hood” is a bit of a disappointment. That said, we also have a difference of opinion when it comes to a recommendation. That’s why it’s important to read/watch the actual […]
In “Iron Man 2,” Robert Downey Jr. again plays Tony Stark, the wealthy, selfish industrialist who is out to bring about world peace and stroke his giant ego at the same time. Thanks to Downey and a terrific cast that includes Gwyneth Paltrow, Scarlett Johanssen, Sam Rockwell, and Don Cheadle, this sequel is lighthearted and […]
Eric Melin and Trevan McGee review “Kick-Ass,” the new 2010 comic book adaptation. And did we mention Nick Cage is still Kick-Ass?!
This remake of “Clash of the Titans” stars Sam Worthington as Perseus, the son of Zeus, who goes on a quest to kill the mighty Kraken and save the city of Argos. How does the state-of-the-art CGI compare to the 1981 version’s stop-motion animation? Find out in this review featuring clips from the movie. The […]

To show you that we care for quality review content over quality of production, we present the worst-looking webcam review ever. The audio is fine (save for a couple microphone pops here and there), the lighting was fine, but the frame rate sucks, so there’s lots of blur and it’s grainy as hell. Again, we […]
