Ray Bradbury is one of my favorite sci-fi writers. I read his books and watched the movies adapted from his books—Truffaut’s Fahrenheit 451 is a must watch—but I’ve never heard him talk.

Because It Worked for Lego, the Next Toy-Based Movie Will Be Playmobil

There’s no way that this isn’t the result of The Lego Movie’s success. When I was a kid, Playmobil was what younger kids got to play with instead of Lego, since there weren’t a bunch of small parts to swallow. That’s kind of the same feeling that the movie announcement has. Pathe, Wild Bunch, and…

I like to watch Cinefix’s top whatever whatever because they always prompt me to rewatch something or watch something new. But then I don’t like them because they are inevitably unfair. They could have done 10 lists of the top 10 chases scenes of all time and all of them would have been different. You…
