Weekend Roundtable: Favorite High School Comedies

Josh Zyber — Fri, 28 Sep 2018 19:00:13 +0000

High school is a (nearly) universal experience we all have to suffer through, and it’s such a defining time in most of our lives that of course filmmakers would want to mine that ground for screenplay material. Our Roundtable this week looks at some of our favorite comedies set in high school. Jason Gorber While...

Josh Zyber — Fri, 17 Apr 2015 19:00:56 +0000

Sometimes, an actor just needs to find the right role to suit his or her talents. In this week’s Roundtable, we discuss the actors that we used to dislike, even hate, until one project finally turned their fortunes around. There are two possible ways to look at this topic: You generally don’t like the actor,...

Weekend Box Office: Audiences Go Bananas for ‘Apes’

Luke Hickman — Mon, 14 Jul 2014 15:00:59 +0000

With no other new wide releases for competition, plus very strong reviews and word-of-mouth, the top movie in America this weekend was a no-brainer. Meanwhile, another film has officially claimed the title of highest-grossing movie of 2014. ‘Dawn of the Planet of the Apes‘ debuted in the #1 spot 33% stronger than its predecessor, ‘Rise...

Luke Hickman — Mon, 07 Jul 2014 16:00:39 +0000

The collective box office for the Top 12 movies this weekend was only $118.5 million, which is down a whopping 47% from this same period last year, making this the worst Fourth of July weekend since 1999. ‘Transformers: Age of Extinction‘ reigned atop the box office for the second week with $36.4 million. That’s a...

Weekend Box Office: More (Money) Than Meets the Eye

Luke Hickman — Mon, 30 Jun 2014 17:00:10 +0000

Mike Judge’s little-seen 2006 comedy ‘Idiocracy’ portrays a future society where the ignorant masses love whatever marketing tells them they’re supposed to love. Looking at this weekend’s box office numbers, I fear that Judge’s satirical future might be the exact direction that we’re headed. Let’s be honest – if an alien race came to Earth...

Weekend Box Office: ‘Too’ Can Play That Game

Luke Hickman — Mon, 23 Jun 2014 16:00:31 +0000

Two sequels battled for the top spot at the box office this weekend. At this moment, the newcomer appears to have taken the lead, but rumor has it that the movies could easily switch places when the final tallies are released later today.

Weekend Box Office: Go Ahead an’ Jump

Luke Hickman — Mon, 16 Jun 2014 16:00:40 +0000

After the success of ’21 Jump Street’ in 2012, it’s little surprise that the sequel would open strong – but strong enough to trump the ‘How to Train Your Dragon’ sequel by $10 million? No one saw that coming. With a domestic debut of $60 million, ‘22 Jump Street‘ is going down as the second-highest...

Weekend Movies: Over Hill and Dale

Luke Hickman — Fri, 13 Jun 2014 16:00:33 +0000

I miss the good old days when summer blockbusters were original material. This year, you can’t go more than two weeks without a sequel or a remake, and fantastic original movies like ‘Edge of Tomorrow’ can’t catch a break. The two big movies opening nationwide today are each second chapters in very successful franchises –...

’22 Jump Street’ Review: Meta Sequel Madness

Philip Brown — Fri, 13 Jun 2014 13:00:14 +0000

The ’21 Jump Street’ movie shouldn’t have worked, but then the filmmakers actually made that the main joke. The same is somehow true of ’22 Jump Street’. On paper, it’s a terrible idea for a movie. Thankfully, the filmmakers know that fact well enough to run with it and mercilessly mock the very idea of...
