Weekend Movies: A Variety of Mindless Flicks
All of the movies taking the big screen this weekend are on the border of mediocrity. None of them is fatally terrible nor particularly great, but every audience has something to mild to see.

Super Bowl weekend doesn’t usually result in big box office earnings, but this year proved otherwise. The top five movies pulled in an estimated $95.9 million, up 31% from the same period last year. Even more surprising is t...
While watching ‘Big Miracle’, thoughts will continually flood into your mind about how contrived, by-the-book and formulaic this story of a multinational effort to free three whales trapped in the arctic ice of norther...
I typically dislike the “found footage” genre. It’s one of the weakest forms of cinematic entertainment – not to mention one of the cheapest, since the filmmakers don’t have to polish the look of their movi...
As a ‘Harry Potter’ fan, I really looked forward to seeing Daniel Radcliffe’s first post-‘Potter’ role. After all, who doesn’t love a good, creepy horror movie? It’s a shame that ‘Th...

Since Luke is out covering the Sundance Film Festival, seeing great movies and partying with celebrities as we speak, it looks like I’ll fill in on the box office update today. Long story short: We’re still stuck in th...
I don’t know if it’s the fact that the Sundance Film Festival is underway locally or if it’s just because January movies are typically bad, but most movies that open during the two weekends of Sundance aren’...
I understand what ‘Red Tails’ tries to accomplish. The film wants to inform the world about the true story of the Tuskegee Airmen. Unfortunately, it sure doesn’t do that very well. Instead, it’s melodramati...
