James Franco’s new bio-pic ‘The Disaster Artist’ celebrates one of the most infamous “So bad it’s good” movies ever made. In that spirit, what are some of your other guilty pleasure bad movies that you can’t help loving? Shannon Nutt I’m a huge Superman fan, so I’ve probably watched ‘Superman IV: The Quest for Peace‘...

Weekend Roundtable: Worst Film of 2015

Josh Zyber — Fri, 26 Feb 2016 20:00:02 +0000

The Oscars are this weekend. Whoop-de-doo, right? In counterpoint to that (alleged) celebration of the best in film, let’s remind ourselves just how bad last year really was with a look back at the worst movies of 2015. Yes, I recognize that this is supposed to be what the Razzie Awards are for. However, as...

Blu-ray Highlights: Week of August 23rd, 2015 – So Long, Farewell, Auf Wiedersehen, Adieu

As August winds down, we prepare to say goodbye to the summer and, hopefully, to the Blu-ray dry spell we’ve experienced lately. This week actually has a bunch of titles of some moderate interest, but (from my perspective) few exciting must-buys. New Releases ‘Aloha‘ – A notoriously troubled production that suffered endless reworking and didn’t...

A lot of people sure did. ‘San Andreas‘ shook the box office this weekend, pulling in an estimated $53.2 million from 3,777 domestic locations, making it the best opening for a picture headlined solely by Dwayne Johnson. This debut is especially strong when you consider that the...

Luke Hickman — Fri, 29 May 2015 17:00:37 +0000

Last weekend, Damon Lindelof delivered a bad movie (‘Tomorrowland’). This weekend, his ‘Lost’ compadre Carlton Cuse does the same with an epic disaster. At the same time, Cameron Crowe offers his first adult dramedy feature since ‘Elizabethtown’ flopped ten years ago. In the same vein as any Roland Emmerich flick, this weekend brings us earthquake...

‘Aloha’ Review: Cameron Crowe’s Current Catastrophe

Philip Brown — Fri, 29 May 2015 13:00:47 +0000

A strange thing has happened over the last few years. The romantic comedy, once a lynchpin of Hollywood’s desire to profit off date nights, has slowly disappeared after a few too many Katherine Heigl crap-heaps soured anyone’s interest. Presumably, Sony hoped that giving former rom-com champ Cameron Crowe a crack at the bat might help...
