Weekend Box Office: The ‘Guys’ Take It

Drew Taylor — Mon, 09 Aug 2010 15:00:34 +0000

After three weeks as the undisputed champion of the North American box office, Christopher Nolan’s dreamy thriller ‘Inception‘ has fallen… to a couple of knucklehead cops played by Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg. For a complete rundown of the weekend Top 10, read on! That’s right, Adam McKay’s raucous action comedy ‘The Other Guys‘ took...

Weekend Box Office: Stuck in the Dream World

Drew Taylor — Mon, 02 Aug 2010 16:00:03 +0000

Well, it looked for a minute there like ‘Dinner for Schmucks,’ the high-concept comedy from DreamWorks that’s a remake of an already mediocre French farce, was going to come out as the king of the weekend box office. I even had my title for this post all picked out (“Winner for Schmucks”). But now it...

Weekend Box Office: ‘Inception’ Stays On Top

Drew Taylor — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 13:00:18 +0000

This weekend, it looked like Angelina Jolie’s miserable spy thriller ‘Salt‘ was poised to take the top slot. There was great buzz surrounding the movie and a number of the country’s top critics gave the film a pass, even though it’s a barely enjoyable ‘Bourne’ rip-off that often looks and feels like a television movie....

Weekend Movies: Pass the ‘Salt’

Drew Taylor — Fri, 23 Jul 2010 17:00:25 +0000

Unfortunately for you, the film-going public, the biggest movie this weekend is Angelina Jolie’s shockingly derivative action thriller ‘Salt.’ (It’s like the ‘Bourne‘ movies in high heels. Until she takes off her high heels.) That’s pretty much it, unless you’re a ten-year-old girl with a library card. Then there’s ‘Ramona and Beezus.’ It’s been a...

Now Playing: ‘Salt’ Is Totally Tasteless

Drew Taylor — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 19:00:58 +0000

It’s kind of a surprise that more movies haven’t been modeled after the ‘Bourne‘ franchise. After all, these are the films that more or less redefined the way that action movies are shot and edited today. The last two, directed by Paul Greengrass, folded the genre into a kind of filmic cubism. Let’s be honest:...

Weekend Box Office: America’s Got Taste

Drew Taylor — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 13:00:14 +0000

Wonder of wonders! A smart, complicated movie that undoubtedly alienated and confused those looking for “a trippy movie from the dude that did Batman” actually won the weekend roller derby! All right! Christopher Nolan’s dreamworld thriller ‘Inception,’ a movie I am absolutely gaga for, took home a surprisingly large haul this weekend. This comes after...
