Cast: Thom Stricklin, Phil Stricklin, Sarah "Reel Monkey" Bonilla

Topics:

• Movie Review: The Brothers Grimm
• Phil likens it to four bad Batman movies--without the bat-nipples.
• Sarah can appreciate its Gilliam-esque quirks and the way in which it continues the loose storytelling traditions of the real Grimm brothers.
• Thom thinks its too disjointed, as if pages were missing from the screenplay.
• Everyone agrees: despite the sometimes fairytale setting, the movie is not very kid-friendly.
  
• Movie Review: Transporter 2
• Phil doesn't think it's disappointing sequel, but still a good action movie.
• Thom almost agrees.  It's more of an action farce, but it's no Transporter.
• Preview Review: Doom...  Will it stink?  Sarah thinks so.  Thom & Phil can only hope for the best.
• Industry News: X-Men 3 Roundup
• Halle Berry is back--and again, screenwriter Zak Penn claims she has a bigger part.
• Berry is no match for "newcomers" Kelsey Grammar and Shohreh Aghdashloo.
• Ice Ice Baby: New pictures suggest the Iceman cometh at last.
• What is ex-X-Men director Bryan Singer thinking with Superman?
