With the release of the long-awaited ‘Incredibles’ sequel, let’s take a moment to look over the entire slate of Pixar feature films to date and decide which one we enjoy the most. The studio has certainly given us a lot to choose from. We actually ran a similar poll back in 2011, but Pixar has...

Josh Zyber — Fri, 19 Feb 2016 20:00:35 +0000

The Oscars are just a week away. As happens most years, some of the nominees for this year’s Academy Awards are less deserving of awards and praise than others. Like some of these, for example. Mike Attebery I had high hopes for ‘Steve Jobs‘. Even after its somewhat tortured production, I thought the film stood...

It used to be, in years past, that the big winners at the Golden Globes were often in sync with the Oscars that followed and could be considered a strong predictor. That isn’t necessarily the case anymore. Basically, nobody takes the Globes seriously, least of all master-of-ceremonies Ricky Gervais, who returned for his fourth time...

2015 was a year of many blockbuster movies that made lots of money.

Weekend Box Office: Micro Machines

Luke Hickman — Mon, 20 Jul 2015 16:00:25 +0000

Not that the studio is worried, but the latest installment to the Cinematic Universe opened below expectations and became Marvel’s second-weakest debut behind 2008’s ‘The Incredible Hulk’. At the same time, Judd Apatow saw his second-best opening thanks to Amy Schumer. Marvel’s ‘Ant-Man‘ defeated those little yellow Minions with an underwhelming $58 million. Predictions placed...

Luke Hickman — Mon, 06 Jul 2015 16:00:46 +0000
