Poll: Dwayne Johnson or Jason Statham?

Josh Zyber — Wed, 31 Jul 2019 12:00:25 +0000

Hobbs & Shaw teams up Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham as reluctant partners, but which actor is really the better action star? If only one of them could continue to have a career based on your decision, which would you choose? This is, deliberately, a difficult decision. Both actors are charismatic, likable movie stars. Both...

The 2018 Spirit and Razzie Awards

Josh Zyber — Tue, 06 Mar 2018 13:00:45 +0000

After four consecutive years of simply mirroring the Oscars’ Best Picture pick, the Independent Spirit Awards actually attempted to follow their mission this year and rewarded a different movie that Oscar passed over. Meanwhile, the Razzies are still a thing that happens for some reason. Spirit Awards Jordan Peele and ‘Get Out’ were the big...

Blu-ray Highlights: Week of September 10th, 2017 – Mum’s the Word

Josh Zyber — Mon, 11 Sep 2017 12:00:57 +0000

Is there such a thing as a week with too many new Blu-ray releases? I think we may have one on our hands. The release slate is clogged with 4k upgrades and other reissues of old titles. Also, Tom Cruise fights a sexy mummy. New Releases (Blu-ray) ‘The Mummy‘ – After disavowing ‘The Wolf Man’...

Weekend Box Office: Where the Rubber Meets the Road

Luke Hickman — Mon, 19 Jun 2017 16:00:19 +0000

This weekend saw an old champ return to the top of the pedestal. Of the other new movies, most played well with the exception of the female-led crude comedy, which stalled out. Although ‘Cars 3‘ topped the weekend box office, moviegoers seem to have gone into it feeling leery. After the first sequel disappointed audiences...

Weekend Box Office: Not Quite Dead on Arrival, But Close

Luke Hickman — Mon, 12 Jun 2017 17:00:18 +0000

The international box office has once again saved a huge studio movie from its less-than-blockbuster domestic performance. Tom Cruise’s latest star vehicle didn’t even make a dent in the strong holdover from last weekend’s top movie. While most superhero movies open huge and suffer massive second-week drop-offs, that wasn’t the case with ‘Wonder Woman‘. Slipping...

Weekend Movies: Keeping It Under Wraps

Luke Hickman — Fri, 09 Jun 2017 12:00:07 +0000

In the wake of the wildly successful first week of ‘Wonder Woman’, three new movies arrive to contend with it. One is a big-budget studio tentpole with a seemingly bottomless marketing budget, while the other two are small, barely-advertised pictures that you wouldn’t typically expect to see open on such high screen counts. My opinion:...

‘The Mummy’ (2017) Review: Some Good Wrapped in a Lot of Stupid

Philip Brown — Thu, 08 Jun 2017 17:00:42 +0000

Already lambasted, dismissed and wiped under the nether regions by pretty much every critic with access to a keyboard, ‘The Mummy’ actually isn’t that bad under the right set of expectations (i.e. low ones). Sure, this monster movie universe pilot, Brendan Fraser remake, and excuse for Tom to cruise is daft, convoluted, idiotic and pointless,...

Blu-ray Highlights: Week of May 14th, 2017 – Tonight Is What It Means to Be Young

Josh Zyber — Mon, 15 May 2017 12:00:48 +0000

New Blu-rays this week close one franchise and reopen another. More importantly, a cult rock-and-roll musical finally gets its proper due. New Releases (Blu-ray) ‘Resident Evil: The Final Chapter‘ – I’m a sucker for the ‘Resident Evil’ movies. I know they’re dumb, but I always have fun with them. Franchise mastermind Paul W.S. Anderson and...

The Trailer Park: The Beginning of Good Things?

M. Enois Duarte — Thu, 15 Dec 2016 20:00:50 +0000

As more and more trailers tease viewers with movies to come in 2017, here’s a collection of previews that may potentially launch new franchises. ‘The Mummy’ (2017) Tom Cruise isn’t a name we usually attach to horror movies, except perhaps as a footnote for sporting a pair of fangs in ‘Interview with the Vampire’, and...
