Blu-ray Highlights: Week of August 13th, 2017 – Thou Shalt Not Covenant (or Shalt Thou?)

Josh Zyber — Mon, 14 Aug 2017 12:00:52 +0000

New Blu-rays this week are inundated with terrifying bloody carnage, soapy teen romance, and drunken clowns. Geez, sounds like my seventh birthday party all over again. New Releases (Blu-ray) ‘Alien: Covenant‘ – The trailers for Ridley Scott’s new xenomorph splatterfest all made it look like a shameless retread of the original ‘Alien’ movie. Depending on...

Weekend Box Office: Dead Man Walking

Luke Hickman — Tue, 30 May 2017 16:00:16 +0000

The #1 movie in America is currently Ridley Scott’s return to facehuggers and xenomorphs.

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...

‘Everything, Everything’ Review: The One Thing She’s Not Allergic to Is Cheese

Philip Brown — Thu, 18 May 2017 19:00:04 +0000

Movie date night became a safer place once Nicholas Sparks’ reign of terror finally came to an end last year. Sadly, even with Sparks gone, Hollywood will peddle soft-focus hokum with tragic finales as long as couples like to cry into their popcorn. These movies serve a purpose. Too bad most are as embarrassingly corny...
