Weekend Movies: Muchas Comedias!

Blu-ray Highlights for 2/21/12 – Here, Kitty Kitty…
Welcome back from another long weekend, folks. We hope you had a good one. This week’s selection of new Blu-ray discs gives us a diverse assortment of titles, from the latest installment in an animated franchise that just wo...
Weekend Box Office: Never Underestimate Denzel
Aside from that 3D ‘Menace’, every movie in the box office Top 5 this weekend blasted past expectations – one of them by more than $18 million!
Now Playing: The Shaky Marriage of Cliché and Creativity
I don’t have a problem with romance flicks in general, except when they feel like mash-ups of every other romantic drama out there. The concept of ‘The Vow’ has a lot of potential, but it’s bogged down by a...

The topic for this week’s Roundtable came pretty easily once I realized that irritating and wholly unfunny “comedian” Danny McBride has both a new movie in theaters and one from earlier this year debuting on vide...
Blu-ray Highlights for 6/21/11 – Who Am I and What Am I Buying?
There’s a peculiar theme at work in this week’s Blu-ray releases. In separate movies, both Liam Neeson and Matt Damon find their whole lives taken away from them by mysterious forces. Neeson wakes up from a car acciden...
An Insidious Cobra Plot – ‘G.I. Joe’ Sequel Doomed Ag...
Back in January, I posted the potential good news that Stephen Sommers had been fired from directing the sequel to his atrocious live action ‘G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra‘ movie. I speculated that – with a new director,...
