2012

Much like the misguided nature of Pixar’s ‘Cars,’ which focused on adorable fossil fuel consuming main characters while we were in the midst of a global gas crisis, ‘John Carter’ seems absurdly blind to the world into which it’s released.

After a week off to recover from the KC Oscar Party 2012, Eric, Trey and Trevan return, ready to talk about John Carter, Silent House and Friends With Kids.

The gimmick behind Silent House ends up being the only thing the film has going for it. Beyond the single-take device, there isn’t much in way of plot or performances.

‘Wyatt Earp’s Revenge’ isn’t great, but it works well enough as a straight-to-DVD B-movie western. A slightly better budget would have helped enhance the gunfights, but Feifer does what he can with what he has to work with.

Tim and Eric’s Billion Dollar Movie opens today at Screenland Crossroads. The duo’s humor comes from their instinctual knowledge of how editing is used to manipulate the viewer and this is their first full-length feature film.

Longtime contributor Warren Cantrell stops by to talk with Eric, Trey and Trevan about the Oscar Party 2012. Trevan discusses Act Of Valor and Eric praises Paul Rudd in Wanderlust.

We pick the winners in the Best Actor category. This is one category that is pretty up in air at this point, even though one man has a distinct edge from earlier guild wins and the BAFTAs (if the BAFTAs even mean anything).

We pick the winners in the Best Actress categories, which seems to be a two-person race. Viola Davis has the SAG, and Meryl Streep has the Golden Globe, but who’s going to win the Oscar? Watch the video to find out!

Trey Hock and Trevan McGee pick the winners in the Best Supporting Actor and Best Supporting Actress categories, which at this late point in the game, is actually pretty easy. These two are all sewn up. Watch the video:

In this video, Trey Hock and Eric Melin pick the winners in the Best Foreign Film and Best Animated Feature categories. At first glance, both of these categories are a done deal, but the Oscars always manage to screw one of these up on a regular basis. Find out which one it is in this video!
