As the first few 2013 movies get released onto Blu Ray, this week I was provided with a feast of quality entertainment to sink my teeth into. No January dung-pile titles to be found here at all, and one that even completely turned out to be the opposite of what I was expecting from it. More from that later, and since my…

This episode we talk about the long life of Ray Harryhausen, the short life of Chris 'Mac Daddy' Kelly, a man with big balls, a funky worm, celebrities who don't pay taxes, Charles Ramsey, and email.…

I'm back with some more new(ish) home releases to cast my judgement upon, and a very odd choice of films too. It's funny what browsing through the bottom shelf of the video store can bring up, and in this case it led to me finding two films I had been keeping an eye out for over the past few weeks now. And yes, video stores…

A rather odd pairing of movies for reviewing purposes this week, but so is the weekly manner of searching through the video store shelves for interesting things to check out. And 2012 continues to offer some great films for me, which should translate into some equally interesting discussions. No need to wait around, let's go straight in and have a…

It feels so odd that despite me seeing many films last year, that there's still a huge batch of great titles from 2012 I have yet to check out. Some consisting of movies I missed out on seeing, others that just never got screened…

Quite a nice set of movie rentals there, isn’t it? This was specifically the "movies I missed out on seeing last year, but really wanted to" set, and seeing as they all released within the space of a week of each other, made the perfect reason to have a movie marathon. Were they good? Hell yes, but how good were they? That is the question I'll try to answer here for you…

Last fall, it was revealed that Universal was putting together a reboot of 'The Mummy.' A classic property from the days of the black-and-white monsters, Universal had made a considerable amount of money…

Ever since Nicolas Winding-Refn's 'Drive,' I relish the opportunity to see Ryan Gosling in any and all crime films. That's why I'm very much looking forward to …

A few months ago, it wasn't clear whether Robert Rodriguez's 'Sin City: A Dame to Kill For' was ever going to happen. Now, not only…

When I was in college, and completely absorbed in my forensic psychology classes, I watched a documentary on TV about a guy named Richard Kuklinski. Kuklinski, or The Iceman as he was dubbed, was one of the most violent and prolific killers in mafia history.  The doc was partially a recap of his life and crimes and partially a personal interview with him from his prison cell. I remember writing a paper on the guy, who was essentially a serial killer working for organized crime; fascinating…

We're coming towards the end of 2012 (in whatever shape or form that may manifest itself to be) and these could well be the last home release Blu Rays I check out before 2013. It rounds up to a total of around 50 films I have seen this year, so can these make a significant impact on the list? Well the answer to that is both yes and no, and not out of…

This week on The Plot Hole, Steven and Simon start things off with some superhero movies news (as is more often than not the case) including big casting reveals for X-Men: Days of Future Past and The Amazing Spider-Man 2.

Then, helping to kick off awards season 2012, we mull over the winners of the New York Film Critics Circle which had an unlikely victor for Best Film of the year.

Also, speaking of winners, we chat the best movie posters of the year, along…

Andrew Dominik's 'Killing Them Softly' is one of the remaining 2012 releases about which I am most excited. I can't wait to see the director of 'The Assassination of Jesse James' re-team with …

We are a podcast/review site trying to get our start on the web. We are a couple of college kids living in Chicago with a love for film and video games looking for a future in the industry. Like our Facebook page at…

So what do you guys think?

Despite my feelings about the movie (really good, but not nearly as good as I would have expected) there's no question that this is gonna be one of the biggest Christmas buys this year. I'm looking forward to seeing it again, and I'll probably end up watching every single one of the bonus features, like I have for both of the…

Once again, it's time for me to delve into the week's newest home releases, all three of which I missed out on seeing in the cinema. And wow... this blog post's films are pretty special. You probably heard them discussed very well on this week's "Remote Viewing", so you will know already what I have to say. But nonetheless, I'll give my viewpoints on the matter, despite them most likely being a bit more... "simplified".…

Luck appears to have been a lady for screenwriter Billy Ray. Not only did he land a great gig adapting Suzanne Collins' …

After a brief, but excellent clip from Andrew Dominik's 'Killing Them Softly' hit the web back in May, we now have the first trailer for the film. 'Killing Them Softly' stars …
