Josh Zyber — Thu, 27 Dec 2012 18:00:09 +0000

Rian Johnson’s time travel thriller ‘Looper‘ was one of the better-reviewed movies of this past summer, and a solid little hit. Now fans will get the choice of not one but three SteelBook Blu-ray collectibles, so long as you aren’t afraid to import from other countries. First, we start with Future Shop in Canada, which...

Weekend Box Office: ‘Frankenweenie’ Gets ‘Taken’ to the Doghouse

Luke Hickman — Mon, 08 Oct 2012 13:00:52 +0000

This weekend proved two things: 1) Liam Neeson’s first ‘Taken’ picture has a lot more fans than I ever realized, and 2) Parents are more likely to take their kids to an Adam Sandler family-friendly monster flick than one directed by Tim Burton. By a landslide, ‘Taken 2‘ was #1. The sequel closed out its...

Weekend Box Office: Hollywood Rebounds

Luke Hickman — Mon, 01 Oct 2012 16:00:56 +0000

The Hollywood studios must be sighing in relief today – especially Sony, which scored both the top two box office spots over the weekend. After several consecutive poor weeks (one of which was a record-setting low with the worst-ever opening for a movie), the box office has finally bounced back. Seven weeks since the last...

Weekend Movies: The End of the September Drought?

Luke Hickman — Fri, 28 Sep 2012 16:00:01 +0000

We’ve made it! The September slump is over! Movies open this weekend that are actually worth seeing! OK, by saying “movies,” I really mean “a movie.” Indie director Rian Johnson returns to the big screen with his third feature, ‘Looper‘. His previous movies were the brilliant ‘Brick’ (2005) and the not-so-brilliant ‘The Brothers Bloom’ (2008)....

Now Playing: A Killer Time Travel Thriller

Luke Hickman — Fri, 28 Sep 2012 13:00:38 +0000

Like many who saw it, I fell in love with Rian Johnson’s directorial debut, ‘Brick’. Unfortunately, I found his sophomore effort ‘The Brothers Bloom’ sorely lacking. He’s directed two episodes of ‘Breaking Bad’ since then, which has restored my faith a little – especially when I listened to the commentary on his episode ‘The Fly’....
