Weekend Box Office: Yo, Joe!
Easter weekend has taught us that Cobra will rise again, that Tyler Perry’s temptations are hard to resist, and that Stephenie Meyer is less popular than we thought she was.

With Easter and the season finale of ‘The Walking Dead’ both coming up on Sunday (you don’t think that’s a coincidence, do you?), we thought that today’s Roundtable would be a good opportunity to look at some of our favorite movies about the dead rising from the grave.

Today’s new movie releases bring us one step closer to summer. We get a mindless big-budget 3D action blockbuster, a cheesy teen genre flick and – of course – another Tyler Perry movie.

Never have the aliens in ‘Independence Day‘ looked so smart. If you thought Stephenie Meyer ruined the vampire genre with ‘Twilight’, wait ’til you see what she does to science fiction with ‘The Host’.

While it’s not the greatest film ever made, ‘The Matrix‘ felt like a genuinely new and exciting IP when it first appeared in 1999. I can remember seeing it in the theater, not knowing much more than the central question: “What is the Matrix?” And the movie did not disappoint.

Make no mistake, I consider 2009′s ‘G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra‘ to be one of my most hated movies, and a desecration of a property that I’ve loved since childhood. Yet here we are four years later, and I’ve found myself approaching its inevitable sequel with some measure of cautious optimism. Does ‘G.I.

The final round of our TV Madness tournament last year only procured 106 votes. Last week’s Monster Madness final scared up almost five times that number. People care deeply about their movie monsters. While Godzilla and Predator stayed neck-and-neck for the first few days, Godzilla ended up pulling out the win. This was a battle for the ages.

With such a lack of family films this year, there was never any doubt as to which movie would win the weekend. Surprisingly, it was a pretty big box office weekend all around. Continue Reading
The season of so-called summer blockbusters gets earlier and earlier with each year. Between now and May, almost every weekend contains at least one over-priced flick that we wouldn’t typically see until summer.
