Blu-ray Highlights: Week of May 12th, 2013 – Now with More “K”s!

Josh Zyber — Mon, 13 May 2013 13:00:31 +0000

Blu-ray collectors generally dread the so-called “double dip,” when a studio reissues a title previously released on the format in hopes of convincing fans to buy yet another copy. To justify this, the new disc had better offer either compelling new content or a significant improvement in quality over the older edition. This week, Sony...

Weekend Box Office: Halloween Releases Fail to Scare Up Any Dough

Luke Hickman — Mon, 29 Oct 2012 16:00:47 +0000

After opening, most nationwide movies drop down the Top 10 week after week. Some titles will occasionally climb up the ranks, but that doesn’t happen very often – especially not with a three-week-old film. Yet such is the case with Ben Affleck’s ‘Argo’. For the first weekend since its Oct. 12th premiere, the movie has...

Poll: What Did You Think of ‘Cloud Atlas’?

Josh Zyber — Mon, 29 Oct 2012 13:00:56 +0000

I may be taking a chance by running a poll about ‘Cloud Atlas’ today. As I write this post on Saturday morning, before any box office numbers have been released, I’m not sure how popular or widely-seen the movie will be. Analysts have predicted a soft opening, and I suspect that they’re right. Nevertheless, this...

Weekend Movies: Tricks ‘n’ Treats

Luke Hickman — Fri, 26 Oct 2012 15:00:37 +0000

With Halloween just around the corner, this weekend is like a kid’s pillowcase after a lengthy night of trick-or-treating. It has some new movie releases comparable to a King Size candy bar, some more like the giant orange foam peanut, and a little bit of everything in between. Personally, the movie that I’m most excited...

Now Playing: To the ‘Cloud’!

Aaron Peck — Fri, 26 Oct 2012 13:00:49 +0000

‘Cloud Atlas’ is a perplexing construct of a film. It cannot be analyzed merely by describing and dissecting its plot, because its plot is ambiguous at best. Honestly, there might not even be a plot as defined by standard screenwriting terms. Instead, ‘Cloud Atlas’ feels like a free-flowing stream of consciousness that touches on different...

The Trailer Park: The World Through Sci-Fi

M. Enois Duarte — Thu, 16 Aug 2012 19:00:15 +0000

The beauty of the sci-fi genre is the way that it allows us to see our world through different eyes, from a far distant point of view. Three upcoming sci-fi features do just that. The first movie questions our idea of what makes us human. The second is a satire on consumerism and the often...
