By now, I’m sure that everyone has heard the news that George Lucas intends to convert all six of his ‘Star Wars’ movies to 3-D and re-release them to theaters one per year, staring in 2011. Is anyone actually ex...
3-D is certainly the hottest topic in cinema and home theater these days. Nonetheless, it’s also one of the most divisive. Some people love it, while others can’t stand it. Where do you fall?
Earlier this year, Warner Bros. made the rather bold announcement that the studio intended to present all of its future “tentpole” movies in 3-D. While some of these films would be native 3-D productions, a good number...

So this is what the dog days of summer look like – a pool of water filled with razor-toothed piranhas. Also: mediocre studio run-off. There are only a couple of weekends left in the summer, and it seems like the studios have more ...
This weekend could be the one that finally knocks ‘Inception‘ out of the top spot at the box office. Not because a movie of similar quality is storming the multiplexes of America, but because we all really love Will Fe...
Yesterday, when I listed the five best movies of the year so far, I also said that this year has been incredibly bad for movies overall. So here we are, with a look at the worst. For the five singled out here, I’ve probably ...
