Blu-ray Highlights for November 27th, 2012 – Going ‘Black’ to the Well

Josh Zyber — Tue, 27 Nov 2012 14:00:56 +0000

With Thanksgiving and Black Friday now over, the home video studios have decided to take things easy for another week. While we get a few discs that might be considered notable releases, the holiday season’s biggest titles won’t start rolling out until the beginning of December. New Releases You’d think that Sony might have wanted...

Weekend Box Office: Zombies Limp to First Place

Luke Hickman — Mon, 17 Sep 2012 15:00:03 +0000

Each of this weekend’s wide releases underperformed studio predictions, but there’s one bit of news worth noting. In limited release, P.T. Anderson’s latest drama, ‘The Master‘, crushed an indie record recently set by Wes Anderson’s ‘Moonrise Kingdom’. (Is it just a coincidence that both directors carry the last name Anderson?) In May, the latter scored...

Weekend Box Office: ‘Words’ Fail, Indy Raids IMAX

Luke Hickman — Mon, 10 Sep 2012 13:00:03 +0000

If old man Biff Tannen gave me a box office almanac from 2015 that claimed that ‘The Possession’ would be the top movie for two consecutive weekends, I wouldn’t have believed the old kook. However, with such a weak slate of new movies opening against it this week, this seemingly impossible feat has become a...

Weekend Box Office: Another Mild Labor Day

Luke Hickman — Tue, 04 Sep 2012 16:00:58 +0000

I don’t understand what it is about Labor Day that draws so few people to their local cinemas. The similar holiday Memorial Day, located at the beginning of summer, brings hundreds of million of dollars worth of revenue. So why is it that so few visit theaters on Labor Day? It’s estimated the Top 12...

Weekend Movies: Demons, Puppets and Moonshine – A Dangerous Combination

Luke Hickman — Fri, 31 Aug 2012 13:00:39 +0000

As a sign of how low studio expectations may be, not a single of this week’s three new wide release movies will hit more than 2,700 screens. Considering that the year’s last successful opening was ‘The Expendables 2’ fourteen days ago, this doesn’t look like it’s shaping up to be a very lucrative weekend at...

Now Playing: ‘Lawless’ – Certainly Not Flawless

Aaron Peck — Thu, 30 Aug 2012 13:00:33 +0000

What happens when a maskless Bane takes over the Prohibition Era and starts selling his own bootleg alcohol? ‘Lawless’-ness. ‘Lawless’ desperately wants to be a gangster epic right up there with ‘The Untouchables’. However, this mobster story doesn’t take place in the streets of Chicago or New York. This tale of intimidating gangsters hails from...

The Trailer Park: After-Summer Surprises

M. Enois Duarte — Thu, 31 May 2012 17:00:00 +0000

Once the summer movie madness is pretty much over, two more wonderful surprises will hit theater screens. Both come from fairly promising filmmakers, and their short previews have definitely worked some magic on me. ‘Looper’ Just about everything in this trailer has me excited to see it as soon as it releases. As someone who...
