Josh Zyber — Tue, 31 Jan 2017 20:00:33 +0000

As Hollywood continues to gloat all through awards season about the quality of the movies it makes, the fact remains that many of the Oscar nominees have simply not been widely seen by audiences outside industry voting circles. With just short of a month to cram the rest in, how many of this year’s selection...

2017 Golden Globe Winners

Josh Zyber — Mon, 09 Jan 2017 19:00:49 +0000

In most years, the final award given out at the Golden Globes (Best Motion Picture – Drama) is the most important prize of the evening and the strongest Oscar predictor. This year, however, was all about the Comedy/Musical category, which wrapped up about 20 minutes earlier. The movie of the night was clearly Damien Chazelle’s...

2017 Golden Globe Nominations

As it inevitably must every year at this time, awards season has begun. This morning, actors Don Cheadle, Laura Dern and Anna Kendrick announced the 2017 Golden Globe nominations for movies and TV. I don’t know if it’s just typical Golden Globes quirkiness, but this seems like a particularly unexciting year in almost every category,...

Weekend Box Office: Only Half Dead

Luke Hickman — Mon, 15 Aug 2016 16:00:30 +0000

Although last week’s big winner managed to retain the top spot at the box office this weekend, it took a massive hit, just as its franchise partner did earlier this year. Sony’s new R-rated animated comedy nearly doubled expectations, while the latest movies from both Disney and Meryl Streep underwhelmed. If the reports are true...

Weekend Movies: Food for Thought

Luke Hickman — Fri, 12 Aug 2016 17:00:55 +0000

It’s here, folks, the end of the summer blockbuster season. (Sure, we still have the needless ‘Ben-Hur’ remake opening next week, but we’re better off pretending that thing doesn’t exist.) Summer may be the fast food option of moviegoing, but there’s something great about the nutrition-less guilty pleasures in life. With the end of summer...

‘Florence Foster Jenkins’ Review: Bad Singer Does Good

Philip Brown — Wed, 10 Aug 2016 19:00:52 +0000

But she didn’t know that and everyone around her (including a few folks at recording studios) didn’t think it was necessary to pass along that information. As a result, she’s become something of an icon...
