What will you buy? New Releases ‘Frozen‘ – Winner of the Academy Awards for Best Animated Feature and Best Original Song, ‘Frozen’ is both a revival and subversion of the Disney princess musical.

How did you do in your Oscar pool? Read this post if you’d like a shot at winning...

After all, how can a movie be the best picture of the year if the director didn’t do the best job making it? Will that be the case again this year, or will voters separate the categories?...

To that end, we’re consolidating the polls for both Supporting categories into one blog post. Best Supporting Actor Wouldn’t it be hilarious if Jonah Hill actually won an Oscar? Not gonna happen.

All but one of the nominated actresses already have Oscar statuettes on their mantles. Is this Amy Adams’ year, or is she destined to perpetually be a bridesmaid at the Academy Awards? When the nominations were first announced, I felt...

The other two opened under expectations. One title in each category surprised me. ‘Ride Along‘ blew the competition – and predictions for it – out of the water. From 2,663 locations, the comedy opened with $41.2 million, making it the highest-debuting January release of all...

This morning, ‘Thor’ star Chris Hemsworth and Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences president Cheryl Boone Isaacs announced the 2014 Oscar nominations. Although I didn’t personally get out...

Plenty of strong buzz was generated from two weeks of playing on just two screens. The film’s expansion to 2,875 screens gave it a huge $38.5 million weekend, which is more than $15 million ahead of expectations and high enough to give it...

The animated musical added another $20.7 million to its haul. That’s the third-best sixth weekend in history, and also brings the film’s domestic run up to $297.8 million.
