Guess what was pretty much as crappy as you'd expect it to be? Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. (In 2-D, no less.) At least a vampire picked up a horse and chucked it at Abe, so that was something. I also watched The Hangover Part II, which had been so derided by others that I actually thought it was pretty decent.…

Oh man, "pirate" makes much more sense. But "parrot" is funnier. I'm gonna keep thinking it's "parrot."

No, this season will all be hosted by regular A.V. Club writers. We'll be doing two episodes per week (Monday and Thursday), and kinda jumping all over the map. Pretty sure we're visiting at least a couple of cities we hit last time… And we're glad that you're glad!

I watched the last two episodes of Fringe, and was only slightly distracted by Leonard Nimoy's dentures. I also watched the Denzel Washington/Ryan Reynolds movie Safe House, which Nathan Rabin described to me as "40 minutes of a good movie." That might be a little harsh, it was decent but quite forgettable. If you…

I watched The Grey — a.k.a. "Liam Neeson fights a bunch of wolves" — and it was… okay. Can't say I'd recommend it. Also got about halfway through The Black Dahlia, which I realized I'd never read, even though I've read the subsequent three books in James Ellroy's "L.A. Quartet." Then I wondered if I'd never read the…

I saw this movie the other night, and I predict ZMF will say "not optional." Sure, there's a completely ridiculous plot, but the ownage is well worth it. Solid B from me, a guy who likes these sorts of things.

You know what they haven't denied and have even sort of hinted at, though? Some kind of Morrissey/Marr tour, without "Rick and Bruce" as Morrissey once so cleverly and cruelly referred to Joyce and Rourke. (It's a reference to The Jam, for those who didn't get it…) Moz has been very vocal in his hatred for Joyce, but…

I watched Killer Elite, starring Jason Statham and Robert De Niro. My expectations were extremely low based on Nathan's D+ review, which ended up being a good thing—I was expecting a total piece of shit but actually ended up enjoying it in fits and starts. De Niro is completely wasted (not like high, but his talents…
