Josh Zyber — Fri, 12 Apr 2013 19:00:49 +0000

Network executives love spinning off movies into TV shows. With a popular title comes instant brand recognition. Sometimes this works (‘M*A*S*H’). Often it doesn’t. Two of the most promising shows currently on the air (‘Bates Motel’ and ‘Hannibal’) are spun-off from movies. In this week’s Roundtable, we try to think of some other movie titles...

This week brings us one of the most anticipated Blu-ray releases of the year, if not of all time. That’s right, it’s the Katy Perry concert movie in 3D! Woot woot!

Although ‘The Hunger Games’ finally got muscled out of the #1 spot on, this, its fifth weekend of release, the film managed to only drop another 31%. Coming in at third, ‘The Hunger Games’ has now made $356 million domestically. The movie that captured the #1 spot not only surprised me, but it surpassed its...

Now Playing: The Best Horror Film in Years

Luke Hickman — Fri, 13 Apr 2012 14:00:49 +0000

‘The Cabin in the Woods’ is a difficult movie to review. It’s almost impossible to talk about it without spoiling something import. Instead of describing the plot, I’m going to emphasize how much you should just take the leap of faith and get out there to see it. If you’ve seen the trailer for ‘Cabin...

Weekend Movies: The Three Genre Flicks

Luke Hickman — Fri, 13 Apr 2012 13:00:38 +0000

Despite three new movies hitting the big screen this weekend, I don’t know if any of them can dethrone ‘The Hunger Games’. I guess we’ll see. The widest opener of this weekend is the Farrelly brothers’ ‘The Three Stooges‘, the movie that studios have been trying to make for ages now. This rendition brings the...
