Weekend Roundtable: Worst Movies by 2018 Oscar Nominees

Josh Zyber — Fri, 26 Jan 2018 20:00:34 +0000

When Oscar season comes around, we like to play a little game where we remember that not all of the celebrated actors and directors have had spotless track records for quality entertainment. Let’s look back at some of the worst movies made by this year’s batch of Oscar nominees. Specifically, we have our eyes on...

‘The Hitman’s Bodyguard’ Contest Results

Josh Zyber — Wed, 29 Nov 2017 17:00:20 +0000

While we’re announcing prizewinners, let’s not forget that we had two contests last week. Although the second one doesn’t come with a neat little spaceship toy, somebody’s still taking home a free copy of ‘The Hitman’s Bodyguard’ on Ultra HD Blu-ray, and that’s pretty cool too. Could it be you? As explained in the original...

Blu-ray Highlights: Week of November 19th, 2017 – Let the Good Times Roll

Josh Zyber — Mon, 20 Nov 2017 13:00:13 +0000

Holiday weeks are usually slow for home video, but with Black Friday imminent, the Blu-ray studios offer us a couple of major titles. Yes, one of them was a huge bomb, but I’m sure it’ll look awfully pretty in 4k. Also of interest is a notable indie that scored surprising buzz for a star many...

SteelBook Alert: Between a Ragnarok and a Hard Place

Josh Zyber — Wed, 25 Oct 2017 12:00:54 +0000

It’s not my preference to post SteelBook announcements before final cover art has even been decided, but Marvel titles tend to sell out quickly once preorders open. Collectors would be wise to order as soon as they’re available. You can always cancel before release date if you don’t like it or a better option comes...

Weekend Box Office: Tag! You’re It!

Luke Hickman — Mon, 18 Sep 2017 16:00:33 +0000

Crushing records along the way, ‘It’ debuted last weekend to a massive $123.4 million. With light competition this weekend, it was never in question as to whether the movie would retain the top spot at the box office. Moviegoers are still eating ‘It‘ up. The R-rated horror film only dipped 51%, resulting in a $60...

Weekend Box Office: You’ll Float Too

Luke Hickman — Mon, 11 Sep 2017 15:00:57 +0000

What an absolutely killer weekend! After weeks and weeks of terrible movies, we finally have a new one that’s not only worthwhile, but doubled pre-weekend estimates and crushed several box office records. Juxtaposed next to it was the wilted opening of Reese Witherspoon’s latest rom-com, which is bound to be buried quickly. Topping all sorts...

Weekend Box Office: Another Labored Victory

Luke Hickman — Tue, 05 Sep 2017 15:00:53 +0000

After several weeks of low attendance, this Labor Day improved on last week’s performance, but still ended up being the worst Labor Day holiday since 2000. Giving weight to how bad it was, ‘The Hitman’s Bodyguard’ retained the top spot at the box office for the third consecutive week. Meanwhile, the ‘Close Encounters’ re-release and...

Weekend Box Office: Swift Judgment

Luke Hickman — Mon, 28 Aug 2017 16:00:06 +0000

While Texas is suffering the worst flooding in years, the theatrical box office saw the biggest drought since 2001. The week’s Top 12 yielded a combined total of $49 million. These terrible numbers accurately represent the quality of the majority of recent movies. I sure hope the suits in Hollywood are taking note. After a...

Weekend Box Office: No Such Luck

Luke Hickman — Mon, 21 Aug 2017 16:00:03 +0000

This summer’s box office is down nearly 13% from last year, and a lot of that is due to the month of August. Down 34% from last August, this month’s releases are barely drawing an audience. One of this weekend’s new movies opened in the top spot, but the second wide release finished much lower....

Weekend Movies: Lucky Harms

Luke Hickman — Fri, 18 Aug 2017 15:00:12 +0000

Some actors and filmmakers who star in or make excellent films are also capable of churning out absolute garbage. With them, you never know what you’re getting. This weekend just so happens to feature two new movies, each of which either stars or was made by someone who fits into that category. No matter which...

‘The Hitman’s Bodyguard’ Review: Old-School Buddy Action

Philip Brown — Wed, 16 Aug 2017 16:00:18 +0000

‘The Hitman’s Bodyguard’ is a throwback. Essentially, it’s the 87th remake of ‘Midnight Run’, only this time with assassins, Sam Jackson, Ryan Reynolds, and European settings. It doesn’t try to break the mold. The filmmakers just want to bring that mold back into fashion. On those terms, the flick will work for anyone who enjoys...
