Josh Zyber — Wed, 23 Sep 2015 16:00:04 +0000

The recent relaunch of the Muppet film franchise may have fizzled after just two movies, but a little setback like that can’t keep a good frog, pig or bear down. Jim Henson’s iconic felt creations return to television this season with a new comedy series simply titled ‘The Muppets’, and it’s the first (perhaps only?)...

Philip Brown — Thu, 20 Mar 2014 18:00:32 +0000

The Muppets had fallen on hard times by the time Disney picked them up and hired Jason Segel and Nick Stoller (based primarily on a single joke in ‘Forgetting Sarah Marshall’) to revive their felty ways. Yet, thanks to assigning folks who genuinely loved the source material, the Muppets’ charming comeback vehicle proved to be...

Mid-Week Poll: What Is Kermit Singing About?

Josh Zyber — Wed, 13 Mar 2013 13:00:32 +0000

Over on his Whatever blog, author John Scalzi poses an interesting philosophical question about the nature of an important scene in ‘The Muppet Movie’. I thought I’d put it to our readers to decide the correct answer. In his famous song “The Rainbow Connection,” Kermit the Frog sings the following verse: Why are there so...

Unboxed: ‘The Muppets’ Blu-ray Lunch Box, SteelBook & Finger Puppets

Josh Zyber — Mon, 30 Apr 2012 17:00:33 +0000

Normally, I use these “Unboxed” posts to examine some of the exotic import video discs in my collection. For today, I thought that it might be worthwhile to shine the spotlight on a few recent limited-edition retailer exclusives that I’ve picked up for one particular movie: ‘The Muppets’. At least one of these is still...

Full Metal Jackets: Mah Na Mah Na!

The latest movie starring the Muppets will get the collectible metal package treatment when it comes to Blu-ray next year. Sadly, the Canadian exclusive release doesn’t look like it’s going to be a SteelBook. Although the title still doesn’t have an official release date yet, a first image of the Future Shop exclusive packaging recently...

Now Playing: Wocka Wocka! ‘The Muppets’ Are Back!

Luke Hickman — Wed, 23 Nov 2011 16:00:14 +0000

The Muppets have always been an eclectic little group of characters whose comedy requires an acquired taste. Given my strong review for their new movie, simply titled ‘The Muppets’, you could easily jump to the conclusion that I am and have always been part of that fan base. In reality, it’s the opposite. Aside from...

Posterizing: Adventures with ‘The Muppets’ and ‘Tintin’

Movie posters are a big part of the movie business, and over the years have transformed into collectors’ items. Sure, some of the standard floating head posters do nothing more than showcase the stars involved with the movies. Still, other times posters have the ability to become works of art, pieces worthy of being framed...
