Unfortunately, a lot of movies last year didn’t live up to their promise or hype. What movies were the biggest letdowns for you? 2016 was widely regarded as a year of disappointments. I’m sure that I haven’t cataloged them all in these poll choices. I also...

Sadly, it’s also time to dump more of this summer’s box office flops. New Releases (Blu-ray) ‘Independence Day: Resurgence‘ – For acronym’s sake, I’ve long felt that the ‘ID4’ sequel should be called...

Although next weekend will bring both the ‘Ben-Hur’ remake and the...

The big-budget sequel underwhelmed, the romance picture outpaced expectations, and nobody bothered to see the well-reviewed comedy. The one prediction that was fulfilled was the first place debut for ‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows‘. However, while the 2014 ‘Turtles‘ picture...

Ultimately, one franchise pulled through over the four-day weekend to at least meet expectations, while the other continued to decline and drastically miss its studio predictions. Coming in at #1 was ‘X-Men: Apocalypse‘, the fourth Bryan Singer-directed entry...

Despite reigning...

However, the last movie was pretty bad despite the billion dollars it made at the box office suggesting otherwise. So, the improvement means that this one is merely forgettably mediocre rather than downright crappy. Not that it matters. All anyone seemed...
