Josh Zyber — Thu, 06 Mar 2014 14:00:51 +0000

With this week’s theatrical release of his latest film, ‘Grand Budapest Hotel’, and the impending Criterion Blu-ray edition of ‘The Life Aquatic’ (which finally brings all of his earlier features to the format), now seems like a good time to ask the question: What’s your favorite Wes Anderson movie? Assuming, of course, that you like...

Weekend Roundtable: When Mother Nature Attacks!

Josh Zyber — Fri, 22 Feb 2013 20:00:21 +0000

Over the past few weeks, my little home in New England has been buffeted by a couple of major winter storms. In the worst of these, I had to dig my way out of my house through a basement window because all the doors were blocked by snow and I had no other exit. More...

Golden Globe Nominations 2013

Josh Zyber — Fri, 14 Dec 2012 14:00:41 +0000

Awards season has officially begun. Yesterday, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association revealed its nominations for the Golden Globes ceremony in January. As usual, the choices are a mix of predictable safe bets and mystifying oddballs. As announced by presenters Jessica Alba, Megan Fox and Ed Helms, Steven Spielberg’s ‘Lincoln’ received the most love with seven...

Blu-ray Highlights for October 16th, 2012 – What Kind of Bird Are You?

Josh Zyber — Tue, 16 Oct 2012 13:00:04 +0000

In an odd quirk of fate, this week’s Blu-ray release slate brings us one of the best films of the year, as well as one (or more) of the worst. Choose wisely. New Releases After a couple of box office disappointments, Wes Anderson returned to the top of the art film scene with ‘Moonrise Kingdom‘,...

Wednesday is a national holiday in the United States. Like most of our American readers, we here at High-Def Digest are taking the day off to relax, watch some fireworks, and maybe catch a summer movie. Will you trek out to theaters either on July 4th or this weekend? If so, what do you plan...

Weekend Box Office: Disappointments All Around

Luke Hickman — Mon, 18 Jun 2012 16:00:47 +0000

I can only hope that the studios behind this week’s awful movie line-up will walk away having learned one thing: If you put out crap, you’ll make crap back at the box office. The people have spoken. Let this be a lesson. Despite competition from two new wide openers, last week’s top earners finished in...

Weekend Box Office: Truly the Fairest of Them All

Luke Hickman — Mon, 04 Jun 2012 14:00:13 +0000

The year’s second ‘Snow White’ flick may have looked worlds better than the first (the atrocious ‘Mirror Mirror’), but nobody – not even the studio – expected it to fair as well as it did. On this, its first weekend, it became the fourth highest opening of 2012 behind ‘The Avengers’, ‘The Hunger Games’ and...

Weekend Box Office: ‘Black’ Is Back on Top

Luke Hickman — Tue, 29 May 2012 15:00:19 +0000

While ‘The Avengers’ may not have held the #1 spot for the fourth week in a row, the movie is still kicking ass and smashing records. Slipping to the #2 spot, it earned another $46.8 million over this four-day holiday weekend. Currently at $523.5 million, it’s less than $10 million away from knocking ‘The Dark...

Weekend Movies: Black Moon Rising

Luke Hickman — Fri, 25 May 2012 14:00:22 +0000

There aren’t too many new options to choose from on this long Memorial Day Weekend. Only two movies open wide, one of which is a dinky horror flick appearing on 2,450 screens nationwide, and the other is the third in a franchise that was nearly driven into the ground a decade ago. The box office...

The Trailer Park: Finally, Something Funny!

M. Enois Duarte — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 14:00:43 +0000

Once again with the comedy! But wait! These next two trailers actually look funny and could very likely deliver the laughs. At least, I can see myself enjoying them, probably one more than the other. ‘Casa de Mi Padre’ Considering the very long list of bad movies he continues to participate in, Will Ferrell is...
