‘Zoolander 2’ Review: Acceptable, If Nothing Special

Philip Brown — Fri, 12 Feb 2016 14:00:50 +0000

Comedy sequels ain’t easy. Like hearing the same joke twice, it just won’t be quite as funny the second time, no matter how amusing the telling. Only a handful of examples manage to match or top their originals, but those are the exceptions, not the rule. That’s certainly true of ‘Zoolander 2’, a sequel that...

Josh Zyber — Mon, 07 Apr 2014 13:00:52 +0000

Hobbitses, hobbitses, hobbitses… If you’re a fan of hobbits, or ghosts, or douchebag pop singers, this could be a great Blu-ray week for you! New Releases ‘The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug‘ – Do you think Peter Jackson regrets his decision to expand his adaptation of one short book into three epic movies, given the...

Weekend Box Office: Holiday Leftovers

Luke Hickman — Mon, 30 Dec 2013 17:00:09 +0000

Despite competition from a bunch of new Christmas releases, December’s biggest hits continue to be holdovers from earlier in the month. Three-week-old ‘The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug‘ slipped only 5% over the post-Christmas weekend, adding another $29.8 million. To date, the second film in the prequel trilogy has earned $190.3 million domestically. Internationally, it...

Weekend Movies: Holiday Blowout, Part 2

Luke Hickman — Fri, 27 Dec 2013 14:00:33 +0000

I hope that all of our readers, no matter how you celebrate it, had a very Merry Christmas this year. Considering how many big movie releases the holiday gave us, we sure know that Hollywood had a good one. Last Friday brought a slew of wide releases, but that didn’t stop the studios from giving...

Along with beaming children, the warm embrace of families, holiday cheer and all that nonsense, the end of the year also brings with it a bunch of big new movie releases. December is traditionally a time when Hollywood rolls out a bunch of potential blockbusters and Oscar hopefuls. Which movies this month do you look...

The Netflix Stream: Week of January 8th, 2012

Dick Ward — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 18:00:22 +0000

When looking through the movies being removed from Netflix this week, I began to get very excited. It looked like nothing of value would be lost. Instead, it turns out that Netflix will deprive us of great Shakespeare performances, and give us garbage in return. I’m not even going to link to the remake of...

An Insidious Cobra Plot – ‘G.I. Joe’ Sequel Doomed Again

Josh Zyber — Wed, 09 Mar 2011 17:00:54 +0000

Back in January, I posted the potential good news that Stephen Sommers had been fired from directing the sequel to his atrocious live action ‘G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra‘ movie. I speculated that – with a new director, new writers, and a complete recasting – perhaps there might be some hope for the sequel...

Weekend Box Office: The Nation’s Moviegoers ‘Drive’ Right Past

Drew Taylor — Mon, 28 Feb 2011 16:00:35 +0000

The Oscar weekend is typically lackluster for Hollywood. Usually, people are catching up on the movies they missed at the theaters (and with many of the nominated films on home video, they can do it at home). On Sunday, people stay home for at least two showings, since they’re watching the award ceremonies. Even by...

‘Glee’-Cap 2.13: The Power of the Biebs

Josh Zyber — Tue, 22 Feb 2011 18:00:06 +0000

In my last recap, I made the mistake of pointing out that ‘Glee’ had featured enough Katy Perry songs for a while, and said that I hoped the show would move onto something else already. Well, I should have known to be careful what I wished for. Last week’s episode went full-bore on a Justin...

Weekend Box Office: Sandler Beats Bieber

Drew Taylor — Mon, 14 Feb 2011 18:00:06 +0000

When the weekend started off, I thought that there was no way that anyone could cripple teen heartthrob Justin Bieber and his by-all-accounts-better-than-expected 3D concert movie ‘Never Say Never’. Well, I guess I shouldn’t have said never, because one of America’s favorite comedians came up and bested the feathery-aired sensation, taking the Number One crown....

Weekend Movies: Pop Stars, Big Boobs, Romans and Garden Gnomes

Drew Taylor — Fri, 11 Feb 2011 18:00:55 +0000

Variety is the spice of life, and there certainly is variety at the mutliplexes this weekend. From buxom babes to garden gnomes, the studios have you covered… Or not. Either way, there’s a bunch of stuff to see out there, whether you like it or not. The biggest movie opening this weekend, at least based...
