Blu-ray Highlights: Week of January 21st, 2018 – Riders on the Storm

Josh Zyber — Mon, 22 Jan 2018 13:00:13 +0000

Promising Blu-rays this week are mostly focused on art films, 4k upgrades and catalog releases. Sadly, the big headlining titles are pretty much a wash-out. New Releases (Blu-ray) ‘Geostorm‘ – Roland Emmerich’s former producing partner Dean Devlin tries his hand at directing a big, stupid disaster movie on his own. That was a mistake. For...

Weekend Box Office: Norse Code

Luke Hickman — Mon, 06 Nov 2017 17:00:21 +0000

Between summer’s ‘Guardians’ sequel and this weekend’s new ‘Thor’ movie, the MCU harvest has been great for Disney this year. The ‘Bad Moms’ sequel also had a decent opening, but isn’t tracking like its highly profitable predecessor. Aside from those, however, the weekend’s box office was just as poor as the past several weeks. Marvel...

Weekend Box Office: I Saw What You Did There

Luke Hickman — Mon, 30 Oct 2017 15:00:49 +0000

Box office returns have been absolutely wretched since the release of ‘It’ in early September. A mix of lazy movies and competition from streaming original content (like the new season of ‘Stranger Things’) are probably to blame. This weekend was no exception. It’s been seven years since the ‘Saw’ franchise was last on the big...

Weekend Box Office: Scared Stupid

Luke Hickman — Mon, 23 Oct 2017 16:00:14 +0000

With five wide release movies fighting for your cost of admission, it’s no surprise that none of them were big hits. One had an okay opening while the other four bombed. To be fair, none of them were marketed very well, which is another big factor in their failures. The best of the underperformers landed...

‘Geostorm’ Review: A Disaster of Emmerichian Proportions

Philip Brown — Fri, 20 Oct 2017 18:00:09 +0000

Here’s a sentence that will surprise no one: That movie where Gerard Butler fights a super storm sucks. The film didn’t screen for critics and likely won’t be discussed as the disaster that it is since it came out on the week when everyone wants to declare ‘The Snowman’ the worst movie ever made. (It’s...

Weekend Movies: Me and You and a Dog Named Boo

Luke Hickman — Fri, 20 Oct 2017 15:00:37 +0000

Why studios slate multiple wide release movies on jam-packed weekends is beyond me. Sardined into theaters this week are five – you read that correctly – five movies opening on 1,300 screens or more. These include a brain-dead disaster epic, a true story tragedy, a Tyler Perry sequel, a grizzly serial killer thriller, and a...
