1:54:59

When Pixar released Toy Story in 1995, it forever changed the approach movie studios took toward animation. Whatever came next was going to have some big steps to follow and several studios decided to throw their hats into the ring, including DreamWorks. A Bug's Life was Pixar's follow-up, while Antz was the debut release from DreamWorks Animation …

6M ago1:33:42

1:33:42

Vengeance is a cultural and literary trope going back to the beginning of the arts. Many of the films, books and TV shows of today use Shakespeare as source material but even The Bard took inspiration from the lore of his time. One such source was the work of Saxo Grammaticus, whose Gesta Danorum indirectly inspired Hamlet. The Northman liberally q…

1:22:25

Some movies can be watched over and over again. We all have them - the reliable, rainy day favorite that you catch when flipping channels and can't help but stop to watch. The movies on today's GMR are probably on many peoples' "must watch" lists, as they are for us. Surprisingly, Kyle had never actually sat down and watched Jaws! This made for som…

1:09:11

When thinking about comedies, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels and A Fish Called Wanda are definitely near the top of any movie fan's list.

It's A Wonderful Life (1946) & The Family Man (2000) 1:29:38

1:29:38

In our memories, The Family Man seems like an upside down remake of It's A Wonderful Life and, if you choose to see it that way, it works! But, as Kyle & Jim further explore, not everything is as it appears in The Family Man. Is It's A Wonderful Life the greatest movie of all-time?

What defines a Horror film? In the simplest of terms, a horror movie is meant to elicit fear for entertainment purposes. However, fear isn’t the same for everyone.

Zombies: they were all the rage in the 2000s, but what is the lineage? George A. Romero's idea of a zombie - where they came from, what they eat and how to kill them - is still the basis and framework for practically any zombie movie ever made. Zombies (like life) got a lot faster from 1978 to 2004. Honestly, I wouldn't want to meet either zombie i…

To rent or to buy… the age old question A lot of millennials have stopped asking the question because they feel buying real estate is far out of reach.
