Weekend Roundtable: Child Stars All Grown Up

Josh Zyber — Fri, 18 Mar 2016 19:00:39 +0000

Growing up in Hollywood is tough on a child actor. Many young lives have been ruined by fame at too early an age. Newly anointed Oscar winner Leonardo DiCaprio and ‘Divergent’ star Shailene Woodley are among the select group of former child stars who have transitioned to successful acting careers as adults. In this week’s...

Blu-ray Highlights: Week of August 24th, 2014 – Come On, Babe, Why Don’t We Paint the Town?

Josh Zyber — Mon, 25 Aug 2014 13:00:03 +0000

Whether you’re a fan of zombies, musicals, giant monsters or Adam Sandler riding an ostrich, this week may have a Blu-ray or two for you. Just imagine if we could put all these things together into one movie. I’d pay good money to see singing Sandler crushed under the foot of a zombie kaiju. New...

‘Blended’ Review: The Sandler Bunch

Philip Brown — Fri, 23 May 2014 15:00:35 +0000

Over the last five years or so, Adam Sandler has set his bar so low that movies like ‘Jack and Jill’ have felt like parodies of bad comedies. Things have gotten so dire at Happy Madison that when a mediocre rom-com like ‘Blended’ emerges, it almost feels like a revelation. From anyone else, ‘Blended’ would...

Now Playing: A Whale of a Tale

Luke Hickman — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 17:00:58 +0000

While watching ‘Big Miracle’, thoughts will continually flood into your mind about how contrived, by-the-book and formulaic this story of a multinational effort to free three whales trapped in the arctic ice of northern Alaska is. Yet as cheesy and made-up as the whole thing appears, when actual footage of the real-life people and events...

Weekend Movies: It’ll Take More Than a ‘Miracle’ to Get Audiences Out This Weekend

Luke Hickman — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 14:00:52 +0000

Although the worst movie month of the year is over, the first weekend of February still feels like it belongs back in January. This weekend’s releases consist of one bad movie, one fluffy movie, and one slightly above par. Once again, this might be a great weekend to catch up on those Oscar nominated films...

Blu-ray Highlights for 1/10/12 – Play Ball!

Josh Zyber — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 14:00:45 +0000

As fully expected, this is another slow January week for new Blu-ray releases. Although the list may look reasonably long at first glance, most of the titles are reissues or just plain junk. Fortunately, mixed in with these are at least one good movie and one TV show worth our attention. Here’s the release slate...

Weekend Box Office: Labor Pains

Drew Taylor — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 18:00:28 +0000

Despite the holiday, not too many people bothered to show up at the multiplexes this weekend. Instead, they chose to take part in those time-honored American traditions of spending time with the family, enjoying outdoor cook-outs, and freaking out about hurricanes. Ah, can’t you just taste the overreaction? Despite the studios ushering three fairly sizable...

Weekend Movies: Mexico vs. Europe (And Drew Barrymore’s in There Someplace)

Drew Taylor — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 17:00:16 +0000

This weekend marks the end of summer and the end of the lucrative summer movie-going season, which we can all admit was, more or less, pants. If this weekend’s offerings are any indication, then the fall could be just as lousy. Granted, I haven’t seen two of the three big movies, but this is more...
