Did you have a nice holiday weekend? In terms of Blu-rays, the new month looks more promising than the last one. This week starts off strong with a long-awaited catalog title. New Releases ‘Now You See Me 2‘ – The fact that the idiotic, magic-themed crime caper flick ‘Now You See Me’...

Which movies from the summer of 2016 disappointed you the most? The unofficial start of the summer movie season seems to get pulled earlier and earlier every year. For the...

Although next weekend will bring both the ‘Ben-Hur’ remake and the...

Not only did the latest Pixar flick debut atop the box office chart, it set the record for the largest domestic opening of all-time for an animated picture. Although more than $100 million behind it, Kevin Hart and Dwayne Johnson’s buddy...

Meanwhile, the magical heist sequel didn’t hold up as well, but the videogame movie performed better than expected – especially when you look at its international box office. Even though the new ‘TMNT’...

The ridiculous magic heist fantasy was far too silly and stupid (willfully and otherwise) for that. However, it was a fun movie often as amusing when it went wildly wrong as when it delivered genuine thrills and laughs. When I admit...
