January 7, 2015 Little kids in big glasses are my kryptonite. Throw in an adorable British accent and I'm done for.
I know, I'm a big softie. Don't tell anyone.
Anyway, the kid in this video has both of those things. And his mind is completely blown by watching "Star Wars: A New Hope". Can you remember ever being this excited about anything?
January 6, 2015 It's been a long time since the last Phantasm movie came out. Okay, like 17 years since the last Phantasm movie came out. But the new Phantasm: Ravager movie is due out this year!
The original director isn't attached to this new film, Phantasm: Ravager, but the guy who played the Tall Man, Angus Scrimm, is still playing the baddie with the flying balls of death.
Okay, that unintentionally sounded like a character in a porn movie.
January 5, 2015 Sometimes you just need a good laugh, but you don't have all freaking day. That's where the people who make 5 Second Films come in.
They specialize in making funny, dumb, bizarre, weird videos...all 5 seconds long.
Here's a collection of 25 films from them, and the whole things is well under 4 minutes!
January 5, 2015 Hardcore is a new movie coming out soon, now that it's achieved its Indigogo crowd funding goal. It's the first action movie shot first-person style!
They did a bit of it in the movie Doom, with Karl Urban and The Rock, but only for a couple minutes. It could have been most of the movie, and Doom fans would have wet themselves.
January 5, 2015 Of all the fictional Disney characters to bro down with, Gaston has to be at the top of the list.
Case-in-point: That time when an Ironman triathlete challenged him to a push-up contest and lost.
After the jam-packed month of December, with its huge family-friendly blockbusters and awards season Oscar bait, we have arrived in the month of January. Formerly a dumping ground for mediocre films, the month has taken on a new identity in the past few years as a testing ground for unique genre films (think ‘Cloverfield’) and a solid place to release a horror movie, which seems to do quite well right around New Year’s for whatever reason. This year, we have ‘The Woman in Black 2: Angel of Death,’ which had a fairly solid opening. Not solid enough to topple the Christmas Week champions, but no one is complaining too much.
The holidays are winding down and we head into the new year with new films hitting theaters in 2015.
January kicks off with plenty of movie options to help escape the winter blues, although there's only one new film out this New Year's week.
The true star of 'Guardians of the Galaxy,' the lovely Zoe Saldana.
December 31, 2014 Movies come and go every year, but what was the best one? I was hoping it was going to be Dumb & Dumber To, but I was way off. There are 365 days in a year with a few movies being released every month.
What was the best movie of 2014 though?
“Nothing is over!” These are the words of Col. John J Rambo, the hero of ‘First Blood’ (better known as ‘Rambo’) and then ‘Rambo: First Blood Part II’ and then ‘Rambo III’ (the only one people call by its actual title and then ‘Rambo’ (better known as ‘Old Rambo’). After what basically amounts to a movie-long chase, ‘First Blood’ concludes with a heartfelt speech from star Sylvester Stallone, explaining how nothing (meaning the Vietnam War) is over for him; that his mind is too scarred from his brutal deeds and by the cruel treatment he’s received on the homefront. It’s a powerful (if occasionally incomprehensible) scene.

The list was determined by you -- at least as much as you visited online with 97.9 WGRD.
December 26, 2014 It's not possible to see every movie that comes out. Heck, it's probably not even possible to KNOW about every movie coming out.
It makes me sad when I miss a good horror movie in the theater, and I've found a list of some you might have missed as well. Some I've gone and seen since, but there are more I'm still wanting to go see.
