The month of May gets off to an inauspicious start for movies on Blu-ray. Before you pull your hare out looking for something interesting to buy, let’s review what’s new this week. New Releases ‘Peter Rabbit‘ – Talk show host James Corden voices an obnoxious CGI bunny in a movie that’s said to do a...

Weekend Box Office: Cat Eats Bird

Luke Hickman — Mon, 05 Mar 2018 17:00:21 +0000

Marvel’s latest standalone superhero adventure continued to dominate the box office over Oscar weekend. At the same time, Jennifer Lawrence’s spy thriller and Bruce Willis’ action reboot saw decent, but unimpressive, opening returns. As if the stormy weather and the Oscars had no effect on the box office, almost every title in the Top 10...

Weekend Box Office: Panther Annihilates All Competitors

Luke Hickman — Mon, 26 Feb 2018 17:00:46 +0000

Marvel’s ‘Black Panther’ is now the third-fastest film to hit $400 million, and has landed the all-time #2 record for biggest second weekend. Although its placement on the podium didn’t allow for any of the newcomer movies to make much noise, each performed well in its own right. After ten days, thanks to a healthy...

Weekend Box Office: Fat Cat

Luke Hickman — Tue, 20 Feb 2018 17:00:21 +0000

The cat is out of the bag. February has a new highest-grossing domestic debut. The $132.4 million record previously held by ‘Deadpool’ is null and void thanks to Marvel Studios’ ‘Black Panther‘. The character was introduced in ‘Captain America: Civil War’, but this is his first solo outing and standalone feature. Grossing $201.7 million over...

Weekend Box Office: I Want to Break Free

Luke Hickman — Mon, 12 Feb 2018 17:00:01 +0000

Now six weeks in, this was only the second weekend in 2018 with a 2018 movie release winning the box office. Thanks to a lack of strong competition, the final ‘Fifty Shades’ movie came out on top. In 2015, the first ‘Fifty Shades’ adaptation debuted to $85.1 million, setting an R-rated record that was ultimately...

Weekend Movies: Bad Hare Day

Luke Hickman — Fri, 09 Feb 2018 16:00:52 +0000

Much like last weekend, this week’s new movie offerings lack the stuff that makes you want to spend $10 (at the very least) to see anything new on the big screen. The biggest draw (and likely the one to win the box office) is the third and final ‘Fifty Shades’ installment. After that are a...

‘Peter Rabbit’ Review: Beatrix Potter Plus Slapstick

Philip Brown — Fri, 09 Feb 2018 13:00:04 +0000

In the wake of the whimsical joy of the irresistibly charming ‘Paddington’ movies, along comes ‘Peter Rabbit’, another classic British children’s yarn due for an update. Unfortunately, the folks behind this movie opted to take a different direction, and made an almost inexplicably meta and faux-irreverent slab of slapstick comedy that won’t please either the...
