Blu-ray Highlights: Week of August 6th, 2017 – Fall on Your Sword

Josh Zyber — Mon, 07 Aug 2017 12:00:13 +0000

Several movies that didn’t do particularly well at the box office hit Blu-ray this week. Who’s going to take the blame for this? New Releases (Blu-ray) ‘King Arthur: Legend of the Sword‘ – Guy Ritchie isn’t exactly the first name that might come to mind for directing a historical fantasy epic, but the filmmaker brings...

Weekend Box Office: Mother Facehugger

Luke Hickman — Mon, 22 May 2017 16:00:05 +0000

The #1 movie in America is currently Ridley Scott’s return to facehuggers and xenomorphs. However, that may not be the case when the weekend actuals are announced later today. ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ put in mad effort to retain its two-week reign at the top of the charts. While it’s barely sitting $1 million behind...

Weekend Movies: Nothing, Nothing

Luke Hickman — Fri, 19 May 2017 12:00:17 +0000

Three big new movies come out this weekend, yet it feels like there aren’t any good options. Ridley Scott has a disappointing ‘Alien’ prequel / ‘Prometheus’ sequel on 3D and IMAX screens, while a fourth ‘Wimpy Kid’ movie (featuring an all-new cast) and yet another YA teen romance adaptation play elsewhere. With each title beating...

Blu-ray Highlights for December 18th, 2012 – Where Have I Seen You Before?

Josh Zyber — Tue, 18 Dec 2012 14:00:51 +0000

Christmas is right around the corner, and the Hollywood studios have some last-minute Blu-ray releases to tempt holiday shoppers. While none of these are likely to exhibit the selling power of last week’s ‘Dark Knight Rises’, perhaps you’ll find something to put on your list for Santa. New Releases This summer’s remake of ‘Total Recall‘...

Weekend Box Office: ‘Bourne’ to Win

Luke Hickman — Mon, 13 Aug 2012 16:00:29 +0000

After three solid weeks atop the domestic box office, ‘The Dark Knight’ has finally fallen not just one, but two spots down the rankings. That’s not to say that final film in Christopher Nolan’s Batman series isn’t still raking in cash, because it is. The movie earned another $19.5 million domestically and another $32.4 million...

Weekend Box Office: Same Bat-Time, Same Bat-Channel

Luke Hickman — Mon, 06 Aug 2012 16:00:09 +0000

For the third week in a row, ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ not only topped the U.S. charts, but the international box office as well. Adding another $36.4 million to its domestic haul and $67 million from international markets, Christopher Nolan’s final Batman flick has now grossed a total of $733 million in just 17 short...

Now Playing: The Wimpiest ‘Wimpy Kid’

Aaron Peck — Fri, 03 Aug 2012 17:00:45 +0000

Some people find the ‘Diary of a Wimpy Kid’ movies irritating, I find them somewhat charming. Are they annoyingly repetitive and full of kid-style toilet humor? Yes. Do they keep kids engaged at the movies? Yes. Do they have their moments? Yes. ‘Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days’ is definitely the runt of the...

Weekend Movies: Been There, Done That

Luke Hickman — Fri, 03 Aug 2012 13:00:49 +0000

At the time I’m writing this, I haven’t yet seen either of this weekend’s two major new movies. Judging only by the trailers and TV spots, both look like clones of the original movies that they’re based upon. The bigger of the two openers this weekend is the PG-13 remake of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s 1990 sci-fi...

Blu-ray Highlights for 6/21/11 – Who Am I and What Am I Buying?

Josh Zyber — Tue, 21 Jun 2011 13:00:29 +0000

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 accident to discover that no one recognizes or remembers him, not even his wife. Damon gets a look...

Weekend Box Office: Hilariously, ‘Wimpy Kid’ Clobbers ‘Sucker Punch’

Drew Taylor — Mon, 28 Mar 2011 13:00:50 +0000

Sometimes you just have to laugh when you see the box office receipts pouring in throughout the weekend. Initially, it seemed that the family film sequel ‘Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules’ would take the top spot. Then on Saturday, Zack Snyder’s “edgy,” “sexy” (because these are words the studio uses to describe it)...

Weekend Movies: Now Would Be a Good Time to Follow Through on That Weekend Getaway

Drew Taylor — Fri, 25 Mar 2011 13:00:23 +0000

There are only two big movies opening this weekend, and not even any minor films worth searching out on the art house scene. This is truly a miserable week for new movies. But maybe you haven’t seen ‘Rango’ yet? Because ‘Rango’ is really, really good. And it’s still in the theaters. So… you know… The...
