Josh Zyber — Tue, 06 Mar 2018 13:00:45 +0000

After four consecutive years of simply mirroring the Oscars’ Best Picture pick, the Independent Spirit Awards actually attempted to follow their mission this year and rewarded a different movie that Oscar passed over. Meanwhile, the Razzies are still a thing that happens for some reason. Spirit Awards Jordan Peele and ‘Get Out’ were the big...

Josh Zyber — Mon, 28 Aug 2017 12:00:51 +0000

Hollywood is learning a hard lesson this year that not every corny old TV series can be successfully rebooted as an R-rated comedy spoof. If you didn’t bother to see the latest attempt in theaters, will the prospect of slo-mo T&A jiggling in 4k be enough to entice you to watch it at home? I...

Weekend Box Office: Wonderful!

Luke Hickman — Mon, 05 Jun 2017 16:00:47 +0000

All eyes were on this weekend for several reasons tied to one movie in particular. The big questions were: Could the latest standalone entry to DC comics’ cinematic series actually be good? Could it rev up moviegoers ahead of this fall’s release of ‘Justice League’? Could it become a financial success? Could the female-directed, female-led...

Weekend Box Office: Dead Man Walking

Luke Hickman — Tue, 30 May 2017 16:00:16 +0000

Although this holiday weekend wasn’t a bust for either of the new wide release movies, both fell very short of expectations. The fifth installment to Disney’s tentpole pirate franchise won the box office, but delivered the series’ lowest opening since the original film. At the same time, even though The Rock has proven to be...

Josh Zyber — Fri, 26 May 2017 19:00:46 +0000

With ‘Twin Peaks’ back on the air and a ‘Baywatch’ movie in theaters, 1990s TV shows are having a pretty big week. Excluding those two properties, what other television series did you spend the ’90s watching? Shannon Nutt As many of my Roundtable buddies already know, ‘Twin Peaks’ was my favorite series from the ’90s,...

Weekend Movies: Walk the Plank

Luke Hickman — Fri, 26 May 2017 12:00:39 +0000

This weekend brings two big movies: a pricy Disney franchise that has been on hiatus for six years, and an R-rated adaptation of a once-popular television series. Knowing that Disney’s blockbuster is going to dominate the box office, the latter opened on Thursday in order to get one full day without the competition. Considering that...

‘Baywatch’ Review: Not Enough Irony Between the Boobs

Philip Brown — Thu, 25 May 2017 18:00:42 +0000

‘Baywatch’ was a cultural institution in the early 1990s. The TV show was syndicated worldwide and helped usher a generation of young boys through puberty while also keeping a generation of adult males firmly trapped in their adolescence. The show was always a joke, mocked mercilessly and enjoyed only through guilt. Now there’s a movie,...
