Last week, our Great Debates series asked the question Superman, or Batman? It’s a debate as old as comic books themselves, and one that continues to be relevant due to their high-profile films.
The votes are in, the poll is closed. Who did people choose? Superman or Batman?

What’s going on, everyone, here’s the latest and greatest (title pending) for your listening pleasure!
We had two discussion worthy movies opening this week. The long-awaited Superman film “Man of Steel”, and the surprising comedy “This is the End”. Tank and I have you covered on both of them!
Then, in light of the successful opening of “Man of Steel”, in anticipation of an eventual Justice League movie, Tank and I cast the JLA! Tune in to check out who we think should be the new Green Lantern, Aquaman, Wonder Woman and more!
It’s a great episode and you won’t want to miss it! As always, you can download it directly, here, or search for us on iTunes or Stitcher radio by looking for (title pending) or Tank and Fogs!
Father’s Day was this past weekend, and the megaplex also offered us a great new cinematic Dad in the form of Kevin Costner’s Jonathan Kent.
Fathers in movies run the gamut from the caring (Gregory Peck as Atticus Finch in “To Kill a Mockingbird”) to the kick-ass (Liam Neeson as Bryan Mills in “Taken”). Some are sacrificing everything to make a better life for their children (Will Smith as Chris Gardner in “The Pursuit of Happyness”) others bumble and stumble along so much you wonder how they managed to keep their kids alive this long (Chevy Chase as Clark Griswold in any of the “Vacation” movies).
From the evil (Darth Vader) to the funny (Steve Martin in “Parenthood”) to the protective (Viggo Mortensen in “The Road”), Hollywood has all the angles covered when it comes to movie Dads.
Who’s YOUR favorite? Michael Keaton’s “Mr. Mom”? How about Jim’s Dad from the “American Pie” series?
There’s no shortage of them out there, folks, let’s hear it!
Who’s YOUR favorite movie Dad?
Just a quick note to let everyone know that FMR is celebrating its two-year Blog-iversary.
It’s been a great two years here, and I wanted to thank everyone who visits for making all my efforts worthwhile! There are times when I can’t believe it’s been two years already and others when I can’t believe it’s only been two years. LOL!
Thank you again to all the commenters and visitors! It’s been a great experience, and we’re still going strong, so let’s kick off year three!
“This Is the End” is a riotously funny movie about six comedic stars trapped in one mansion as the Apocalypse unfolds around them. The personalities are funny, the situation is funny, everything is funny.
The first great comedy of 2013.
A new Superman inherits the cape in an epic, dark, angst-filled drama.
I struggled with the somber tone of “Man of Steel”, but have to concede that it’s a potent, action packed film.
Hey everyone, it’s Friday, time for another entry in the Reader Recommendations series!
The Reader Recommendation series is intended to help me formally pursue all the great films that commenters bring up each week in discussion which I’ve never seen. If there’s a movie that comes up that I haven’t seen, but you think I should, email me @ fogsmoviereviews@gmail.com or let me know in the comments that you’d like to participate!
This time up, our recommendation comes from Mark Nelkin of Beautiful Orange. Mark has recommended Shane Carruth’s “Primer”, a film that has gotten no small amount of buzz in the blogosphere, and one I’ve been waiting to check out for a while!

It’s a debate that’s been around for decades upon decades, thanks to the comics, and with Superman putting a new movie into the mix this weekend, I felt it was the perfect time to hold a discussion here and see how FMR visitors felt.
Who do you choose? Superman or Batman?

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls…. allow me to present the latest and greatest (title pending)!
Tanski and I begin the show with our own interview for Google’s internship program, only we don’t fare quite as well as Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson did in their recent film, but oh well…
We then review both the major new releases this week (The Internship and The Purge) before heading into a discussion of our favorite “work” related movies! Inspired by “The Internship”, Tank and I search around for movies about people doing their jobs (who aren’t cops, doctors or lawyers) and discuss some of the best!

“John Dies at the End” is a 2012 supernatural horror comedy starring Chase Williamson, Rob Mayes and Paul Giamatti.
Let’s see… how do I explain this?
