Weekend Roundtable: Musicians Turned Actors

Josh Zyber — Fri, 15 Jan 2016 20:00:19 +0000

This week, we both lost David Bowie and gained a new movie starring Ice Cube. I’m not sure that’s a fair trade-off, frankly. Nonetheless, that’s what the universe decided to bring us. With no other connection between these two events, let’s look at other examples, for good or ill, of musicians who have made a...

Blu-ray Highlights for June 19th, 2012 – Don’t Cry for Me, Argentina

Josh Zyber — Tue, 19 Jun 2012 13:00:18 +0000

In this week’s Blu-ray releases, Drew Barrymore saves the whales, Jason Segel gets stoned, and Madonna tries to rule the world. In other words, it’s just another average Tuesday. New Releases The biggest miracle about ‘Big Miracle‘ is that the film somehow scored a theatrical release despite so obviously being a TV movie-of-the-week. Aside from...

Blu-ray Highlights for May 1st, 2012 – As If!

Josh Zyber — Tue, 01 May 2012 13:00:37 +0000

Happy May Day, everyone! Does anyone even know what May Day is about? Personally, I don’t have a clue. I guess we’re supposed to celebrate that it’s the start of a new month. If that’s so, why don’t we have an April Day or a June Day, etc.? Just because those don’t rhyme? I could...

Blu-ray Highlights for 4/3/12 – Forget It, Jake

Josh Zyber — Tue, 03 Apr 2012 13:00:29 +0000

I don’t know about you, but this week’s Blu-ray selection looks pretty bleak from my perspective. There’s only one title that I want to add to my movie collection. Fortunately, it’s a really good one and an essential purchase. Beyond that, not much catches my eye. The following discs see release this week: ‘Angels Crest‘...

Weekend Movies: It’ll Take More Than a ‘Miracle’ to Get Audiences Out This Weekend

Luke Hickman — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 14:00:52 +0000

Although the worst movie month of the year is over, the first weekend of February still feels like it belongs back in January. This weekend’s releases consist of one bad movie, one fluffy movie, and one slightly above par. Once again, this might be a great weekend to catch up on those Oscar nominated films...

Weekend Movies: Rip-Offs and Overrated Indies

Luke Hickman — Fri, 09 Dec 2011 18:00:09 +0000

While the end-of-year season is usually filled with high-quality flicks fighting for award nominations, this December so far isn’t quite reaching the caliber of years past– especially not this weekend’s releases. The widest release this weekend is ‘New Year’s Eve‘, the second film in Garry Marshall’s series of highly formulaic, holiday-centric ensemble rom-coms that started...

Leaving The Stream: Week of January 31st, 2011

Dick Ward — Thu, 03 Feb 2011 18:00:45 +0000

There’s almost nothing leaving the Netflix stream this week. I’ll call that an even trade considering the complete lack of videogame releases. We don’t get new games, but at least we don’t lose much from our Netflix. Still, there are a couple of movies that are well worth checking out before they disappear. A League...
