Weekend Roundtable: Weird Science

Josh Zyber — Fri, 02 Oct 2015 19:00:27 +0000

Ridley Scott’s new film ‘The Martian’ may put up at least some appearance of presenting a plausibly realistic depiction of science in its sci-fi story, but that isn’t something Hollywood often concerns itself with. In this week’s Roundtable, we look at some of the silliest “science” in science fiction movies. Shannon Nutt I’m going to...

‘Limitless’ Pilot Recap: “You’re Not Smart, You’re High”

Josh Zyber — Wed, 23 Sep 2015 20:00:13 +0000

The promo ads for CBS’ new adaptation of the hit 2011 movie ‘Limitless’ have loudly and proudly trumpeted the return of three-time Oscar nominee Bradley Cooper to network television. Does it really surprise anyone that he’s only in the pilot episode for about 30 seconds at the very end? Honestly, ‘Limitless‘ was not a great...

Blu-ray Highlights for 7/19/11 – What Are You Buying?

Josh Zyber — Tue, 19 Jul 2011 13:00:24 +0000

While I hate to echo the same thing I’ve been saying for the past few weeks, this is yet another slow week for Blu-ray releases. However, one of my favorite movies of all time hits the format today, and that is definitely something to be excited about. Honestly, after spending too much money last week...

Weekend Box Office: ‘Hop’ Skips and Jumps to the Top

Drew Taylor — Mon, 04 Apr 2011 15:00:58 +0000

The three big movies that opened this weekend couldn’t be more different: a spooky haunted house thriller, a high concept kids film about the mythical inner life of the Easter Bunny, and a trippy sci-fi film about time travel, alternate universes and the power of true love (Awww…). What’s amazing is that all of these...

Weekend Box Office: Hilariously, ‘Wimpy Kid’ Clobbers ‘Sucker Punch’

Drew Taylor — Mon, 28 Mar 2011 13:00:50 +0000

Sometimes you just have to laugh when you see the box office receipts pouring in throughout the weekend. Initially, it seemed that the family film sequel ‘Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules’ would take the top spot. Then on Saturday, Zack Snyder’s “edgy,” “sexy” (because these are words the studio uses to describe it)...

Weekend Box Office: ‘Limitless’ Reaches Its Potential

Drew Taylor — Mon, 21 Mar 2011 15:00:52 +0000

This weekend had a smattering of new releases. Thanks to an impossible work/travel schedule, I wasn’t able to see any of them early, but I’m still intrigued. None of the movies that opened were big tentpoles or four-quadrant spectacles, so it was really anybody’s guess as to which would ultimately triumph in the end. I...

Weekend Movies: Three Cute Dudes (One of Them Is an Alien)

Drew Taylor — Fri, 18 Mar 2011 15:00:48 +0000

This weekend’s box office crop seems to be defined by adorable leading me – Matthew McConaughey, Bradley Cooper, and a little green alien with the voice of Seth Rogen. What this means, exactly, besides typifying my lack of sleep here at SXSW, is beyond me. At the very least, the ladies in American audiences this...

Hollywood Rolls Out the Big Guns During Super Bowl

Josh Zyber — Mon, 07 Feb 2011 20:00:35 +0000

As I understand it, there was some sort of significant sporting event on television over the weekend. I believe it was called the Super Dish, or Wonder Plate, or something like that. Because it tends to do pretty well in the ratings, advertisers like to use this as an opportunity to debut lots of flashy...
