Josh Zyber — Mon, 19 Dec 2016 13:00:55 +0000

It may be the last shopping week before Christmas, but (as happens most years) the Blu-ray release schedule has slowed down dramatically. This is a pretty light week in terms of volume. However, a few notable titles slip out in time for the holiday. New Releases (Blu-ray) ‘The Magnificent Seven‘ – As far as remakes...

Weekend Box Office: Right on Track

Luke Hickman — Mon, 10 Oct 2016 16:00:59 +0000

Of the three new wide release movies that hit theaters on Friday, the strongest won the box office and opened in alignment with studio predictions. The other two barely made a dent and finished only $200k apart from one another, meaning that we’ll have to see the finalized box office totals later today before we’ll...

Weekend Box Office: How Peculiar

Luke Hickman — Mon, 03 Oct 2016 16:00:12 +0000

One year ago at this time, ‘The Martian’ tore up the box office. Even the combined debut totals for this weekend’s two biggest releases couldn’t come close to matching that movie’s numbers. Although both of the new wide releases opened in perfect alignment with studio expectations, this weekend was hardly anything to brag about. In...

Weekend Box Office: Less Than Magnificent

Luke Hickman — Mon, 26 Sep 2016 15:00:20 +0000

With a star-studded fall tentpole and a new animated family film, this was expected to be a big weekend at the box office. However, with each of the new movies underperforming by about $10 million, it ultimately turned out to be pretty unremarkable. ‘The Magnificent Seven‘ topped the charts, but fell very short of where...

Weekend Movies: By the Numbers

Luke Hickman — Fri, 23 Sep 2016 15:00:07 +0000

A couple times already, I’ve praised this September for bringing at least one potentially good movie each week. Unfortunately, the streak ends this weekend with a big budget Western that can’t even satisfy on delivering mindless entertainment. Opening alongside it are a CG animated kids’ movie that’s hardly been advertised and Disney’s latest feel-good Oscar...

‘The Magnificent Seven’ (2016) Review: The “Seven” Part Is Accurate

Philip Brown — Thu, 22 Sep 2016 19:00:42 +0000

No one ever asked for a remake of ‘The Magnificent Seven’. Quite apart from the fact that the original movie is a product of its time, the thing was already a remake of ‘Seven Samurai’. Remaking a remake sounds more like a parody of Hollywood unoriginality than a real project. Yet somehow here we are....

The Trailer Park: The Magnificence of Remakes & Reboots

M. Enois Duarte — Wed, 27 Apr 2016 19:00:11 +0000

Before anyone starts angrily typing on their keyboards about the lack of originality in Hollywood or how studios no longer take risks, here are some examples where reboots and remakes might prove entertaining. ‘The Magnificent Seven’ (2016) As a huge fan of the 1960 John Sturges film — and an even bigger fan of the...
