The Force Awakens is a surprisingly dark new vision of Star Wars

“For all of the criticisms of what the prequel trilogy did to the backstory of the original trilogy, it didn’t wipe away the accomplishments of the original trilogy in the way that The Force Awakens does.”

Batman & Mr. Freeze: SubZero (1998)

“This movie got a pretty good reception, but I think that’s just the result of looking good in comparison to Batman & Robin, in the same way that a mediocre baseball team looks good compared to the 1899 Cleveland Spiders.”

Giant dragons, a parallel dimension, and a wisecracking hedgehog. Sounds like a Sonic game from the mid 2000s, but it's actually another Pokémon movie. Pokémonth continues with Giratina and the Sky Warrior.

VIDEO: A Fish Tale (2000)

It's a traditionally animated television movie about kids turning into fish with a bad CG DVD cover and Alan Rickman... So it has to be good, right?
