Josh Zyber — Mon, 15 Apr 2013 13:00:42 +0000

Full Metal Jackets: The “D” Is Silent

Josh Zyber — Wed, 03 Apr 2013 16:00:52 +0000

More often than not, SteelBook collectors are forced to import Blu-rays from other countries, frequently at great inconvenience and expense, in order to obtain the shiny metallic goodness they crave. In a welcome change of pace, Quentin Tarantino’s revisionist Western ‘Django Unchained’ will receive the SteelBook treatment later this month, and you’ll be able to...

Josh Zyber — Mon, 25 Feb 2013 05:20:19 +0000

Sadly, I wasn’t able to host an Oscar live-blog this year. However, I still watched the ceremony. This year, ‘Argo’ ultimately triumphed as the Best Picture winner, at least in the eyes of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. The rest of the race’s results and some commentary can be found after the...

The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences has named its picks for the best films of last year. This begs the question: How many of the Oscar-nominated movies have you actually seen?

Weekend Box Office: ‘Zero Dark’ Assassinates All Competition

Luke Hickman — Mon, 14 Jan 2013 17:00:04 +0000

This weekend was a major upset for Friday’s new releases. One performed better than expected, but the other highly underperformed – and both lost to the expansion of an Oscar nominee. ‘ ‘Zero Dark Thirty‘ went from a limited release in New York and L.A. to more than 2,900 screens in its fourth weekend, and...

Weekend Box Office: Two Movies Enter, One Movie Leaves

Luke Hickman — Mon, 07 Jan 2013 17:00:43 +0000

The first weekend of January only gave us two new nationwide releases, four noteworthy expansions, and not a single limited opening. Of the two wide releases, only one has had its numbers announced (so far), so this will be a short post. The yet-to-be-announce box office title of the week is Andy Garcia’s ‘A Dark...

New Year’s Weekend Movies: Oh Frack…

Luke Hickman — Fri, 28 Dec 2012 17:00:29 +0000

This week, three new movies opened on Christmas Day: ‘Django Unchained’, ‘Les Miserables’ and ‘Parental Guidance’. The first two performed very well on Christmas, so don’t expect any of today’s small releases to put up much competition. The big films will certainly hog all the box office revenue. The widest new debut this weekend is...
