Pixar has now made 13 feature-length animated films, and each has opened in the #1 spot at the box office. Actual attendance is down for the studio’s latest, but you wouldn’t know that if you didn’t take 3D ticke...
After the disappointment of ‘Cars 2‘, Pixar could really use an unqualified success to restore its reputation as the best animation studio working today. Unfortunately, this weekend’s release of the Scottish fair...
This week brings a new vampire movie to theaters that thankfully doesn’t have the word “Twilight” in the title. Even if it looks pretty goofy (and according to Luke is kind of terrible), that’s still a good...
Not one of this weekend’s three major openers seems to be headed for major success. Weird genre movies rarely do huge numbers, princess movies are on the decline (though the Pixar brand might help), and a smaller romantic di...

A few weeks ago, I wrote about Dolby’s new theatrical surround sound format, called Atmos, that promises to revolutionize the way that movie soundtracks are created and presented. At the time, I’d received a brief demo...
For this, officially our 100th Weekend Roundtable post, we thought we’d pick a pretty simple and straightforward topic. Tom Cruise has a new movie in theaters today. Let’s look over the best and worst from this sometim...
