Blu-ray Highlights: Week of November 3rd, 2013 – Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh…

Josh Zyber — Mon, 04 Nov 2013 14:00:32 +0000

Do you remember how slow the last couple of weeks were for new Blu-rays, aside from a couple of big titles? That didn’t last long. November kicks off in a big way with a huge slate of new discs. Even if they don’t all appeal to you, surely you’ll find something that just begs you...

Now Playing: ‘Lovelace’ Goes Deep

Bryan Kluger — Mon, 12 Aug 2013 19:00:54 +0000

‘Lovelace’ is the first of two films this year based on the porn phenomenon Linda Lovelace, who rose to superstardom in the early ’70s with the film ‘Deep Throat’. [Ed: ‘Inferno: A Linda Lovelace Story’, starring Sasha Grey, hasn’t been scheduled for a release date yet. –JZ] This bio-pic might’ve been a disaster, but directors...

Weekend Box Office: Matt and Jodie on Top

Luke Hickman — Mon, 12 Aug 2013 16:00:55 +0000

This weekend was a mixed bag. Two R-rated movies went head-to-head, and the over-population of family films continued to compete against each other. Collectively, their numbers were big, but individually, none truly impressed. Neill Blomkamp’s ‘Elysium‘ won the top spot with $30.4 million, but that’s hardly a win. With Matt Damon and Jodie Foster starring,...

Weekend Movies: Sequels, Spin-Offs, Sci-Fi and Pot

Luke Hickman — Fri, 09 Aug 2013 17:00:12 +0000

This weekend gives us a variety of new movies. Pick your poison, but be warned: The most unlikely movie might be the only one that’s actually worthwhile. Since all four releases are debuting near or north of 3,000 screens, let’s list them from least satisfying to most satisfying. As you may have suspected, ‘Planes‘ comes...

Sundance Journal: ‘Lovelace’

Aaron Peck — Tue, 05 Feb 2013 20:00:32 +0000

The moment it was announced that ‘Lovelace’ would play at Sundance, controversy mounted. Porn was everywhere at Sundance this year, but for some reason, the story of Linda Lovelace seemed to be the movie that took most of the antagonistic flak from outsiders. Like me, they most likely didn’t know the whole story. I admit...

Aaron’s Sundance 2013 Schedule: Packed!

Aaron Peck — Mon, 07 Jan 2013 20:00:06 +0000

I’m getting all my plans finalized for this year’s Sundance Film Festival, which starts on January 17th. As always, my schedule is packed as I plan to see as many movies as I possibly can before I either burn out or simply run out of caffeine. As is usually the case, I find myself staring...

Sundance 2013 Preview: The Premieres

Aaron Peck — Wed, 05 Dec 2012 20:00:16 +0000

Independent films? Really? Nah. The Premiere section at Sundance is always a collection of films designed to draw a crowd of well-known movie stars to the summit of Park City. The big names, in both acting and directing, are huge draws at the festival every year. It’s been my experience that, within the Premiere section,...
