As awesome as everything was in The Lego Movie, it is possible the sequel will be even more... awesome (*bursts into singing "Everything is awesome"). I was initially not sold on the idea to make a second Lego Movie, but this may have...
As a person who gets to attend press screenings for almost every major and minor release out there I get to see way too many movies. You're thinking that sounds awesome, but it can be a horrible burden. Do you know how many bad movies come ...
2014 was a pretty good year for animated films. But unlike the year before, which featured a huge Disney film with headlining women and lots of family friendly features, 2014 was a complete boy's club. While there were a few small steps her...
The Washington Area Film Critics Association, of which I am a card carrying member, has delivered it's award winners once again this year. I voted of course and I think this year is one of the first where I've overwhelming agreed with the m...
The Oscars are coming and that means we'll need to start talking about nominees, but before that we have to discuss the submitted films to be nominated. At least for animated films we need to. There have been 20 submitted, 8 of which have n...
The LEGO Movie remains one of my favorite films of 2014. It was charming, smart, and parents have told me their kids didn't move an inch during the whole thing (which is a huge deal). One of the breakouts was Will Arnett as Batman, now a co...
Perfection. Now I regret not seeing The Lego Movie twice. It's out on home video now!
UPDATE: We've figured out what the teaser is for! To promote the releases of Grand Budapest Hotel and LEGO Movie on home video, Ryan Ziegelbauer and 8 other artists put together a Grand Budapest made entirely out of LEGO bricks. Enjoy the ...
The LEGO Movie didn't face much stiff competition this week, but it still pulled in a whopping amount beating out both new releases and pulling in more money than many films make in their entire run. Looks like word of mouth is really helpi...
Hey remember that The LEGO Movie sequel we talked about? Well it looks like we will be getting it May 26, 2017, which is crazy specific for a movie that is 3 years out. The LEGO Movie, which racked in $200 million in worldwide gro...
In case you were wondering, not even a robot cop, fairy tale Colin Farrell, or Kevin Hart movie could topple the awesomeness that is The LEGO Movie brick house. It made a mighty mighty $43 million last weekend, beating out the runner up (Ab...
It's been a week now since I've seen The LEGO Movie (and reviewed it!), and I still can't get it out of my head. Everything is still awesome, I want a double decker couch, and my friends and I have been quoting Lego Batman lines back and f...
Lets face it, Valentine's Day has become so compressed with corporate Hallmark cards, that no company has the chance to make Valentines with the reckless abandon that we used to see back in the late 80's and early 90's. And that is wh...
It looks like audiences did the right thing and supported the truly awesome film this weekend. While I'll always be sad I missed out on Vampire Academy (and I'm sure it'll be a big hit on home video like Mean Girls), I'm glad I chose The LE...
Since its first delightful teaser over a year ago, I have been eagerly anticipating The LEGO Movie more so than any other movie releasing in 2014. I was instantly drawn to the idea of seeing the very Lego sets I played with as a kid (and st...
So there's a good chance The LEGO Movie is going to do extremely well in the box office, and there's a good chance (thanks to positive early reviews and Matt saying it's great), it's good enouhg to warrant that performance. But is it good e...
Last week some of our ranks recorded ourselves talking briefly about our most anticipated films of 2014, and now we’re looking at some of those films more in depth as well as mentioning others that we missed. 2013 was a pretty am...
In anticipation of its release a week from now, The LEGO Movie has one more hilarious trailer under its belt. As it toys with the overt seriousness of Man of Steel's previous trailers, this trailer comes complete with a harsh Morgan F...
The LEGO Movie is quickly becoming one of my most anticipated films of 2014. With the first trailer looking as beautiful as it did and with Chris Pratt being adorably charming as he is, The LEGO Movie is going to be a damn good time. It jus...
After the first teaser showed Ninja Turtles interacting with DC superheroes like only LEGO can, we've been all waiting for a better and more filling look of The LEGO Movie. It's got a style that's instantly grabbing, the voice cast is made...
Morgan Freeman as a Godlike character, Chris Pratt as an everyday hero, Will Arnett as Batman, the Ninja Turtles, NBA All Stars, and Liam Neeson all in the same movie? Yes, the dreams you didn't even knew you had are coming true. The first...
