Weekend Roundtable: Worst Parody Spoof Movies

Josh Zyber — Fri, 29 Jan 2016 20:00:27 +0000

With precious few exceptions, the parody spoof genre is one of the laziest forms of entertainment a filmmaker can turn to when in need of a quick, easy buck. For every true gem like ‘Airplane!’ or ‘Blazing Saddles’ are a dozen turds like ‘Epic Movie’ or (from the looks of it) this week’s ‘Fifty Shades...

Blu-ray Highlights: Week of August 18th, 2013 – BLECCCHHHH!!!

Josh Zyber — Mon, 19 Aug 2013 13:00:46 +0000

Hey, kids, you wanna hear a scary story? Somebody out there keeps making ‘Scary Movie’ movies, and they just keep getting worse and worse. AAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!! New Releases That a ‘Scary Movie 5‘ exists at all makes me question whether anyone in Hollywood still has functioning brain cells. That it stars washed-up burnouts Charlie Sheen and...

Weekend Box Office: Cruise in Control

Luke Hickman — Mon, 22 Apr 2013 15:00:21 +0000

Tom Cruise’s career took a hard hit in the early 2000s. Over the past four years, his personal life has slipped back out of the public eye and, in the process, the actor climbed back up to the top of the box office. This weekend marks Cruise’s highest opening since 2005’s ‘War of the Worlds‘....

Box Office Pick’em: April Draft

Aaron Peck — Thu, 18 Apr 2013 13:00:13 +0000

March wasn’t pretty (for Luke). In April’s round of Box Office Pick’em, Aaron gets to draft first… again. Pick #1: Aaron Selection: ‘Oblivion’ Reasoning: I understand that this is a risk. ‘Oblivion’ is hardly a proven franchise, which could turn out bad if people don’t end up seeing it. I’m hoping that its blockbuster look...

Weekend Box Office: Jackie Robinson Hits It out of the Park

Luke Hickman — Mon, 15 Apr 2013 15:00:37 +0000

Here in the U.S., the Jackie Robinson bio-pic hit a home run this weekend. But the domestic market is apparently oblivious to what’s going on overseas. On 3,003 screens, ‘42‘ beat the competition with a $27.2 million debut. That’s a great start for a film expected to open around the $20 million range. The last...

Weekend Movies: Fun with Math

Luke Hickman — Fri, 12 Apr 2013 13:00:11 +0000

What does this mild weekend have in store for us? Nothing great. There’s a moral-pushing sports drama and the fifth title in a spoof franchise that never should have made it past the first. The only thing that these two movies have in common is that both have numbers in their titles. Surprising to me,...

Weekend Roundtable: How Did This Movie Get Made?

Josh Zyber — Fri, 25 Jan 2013 20:00:29 +0000

Have you ever watched a movie trailer that was so jaw-droppingly awful that you couldn’t believe the film got made in the first place? Of course you have. With the releases of ‘Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters’ and ‘Movie 43’, this week brings us two such apparent dogs. For today’s Roundtable, I thought it would...
