Josh Zyber — Mon, 05 Jun 2017 12:00:56 +0000

New Releases (Blu-ray) ‘Beauty and the Beast‘ – With over $1 billion in grosses for this outing alone,...

Josh Zyber — Mon, 10 Jun 2013 13:00:14 +0000

In this week’s new Blu-rays, Disney cashes in on one of the most beloved family films of all time with a gaudy 3D prequel, fairy tales get reimagined in ways no one ever wanted, and The Rock delivers the first of seemingly dozens of movies he’ll star in this year.

Box Office Pick’em: February Results

Aaron Peck — Wed, 06 Mar 2013 20:00:13 +0000

February was a rough month in our Box Office Pick’em contest, simply because we were faced with a ton of mediocre to crappy movies. Still, someone came out on top. Aaron was the overwhelming favorite in the February draft poll, and he ended up beating Luke for a second straight monthly win. Note: You’ll notice...

Weekend Box Office: A Slow Start for March

Luke Hickman — Mon, 04 Mar 2013 18:00:50 +0000

It can’t be a good thing when the biggest movie of the weekend gets compared to last year’s big failure ‘John Carter‘ by all of the major news outlets. After its release date was bumped from last summer to this spring for major re-shoots (I assume due to multiple continuity issues), ‘Jack the Giant Slayer‘...

Weekend Box Office: ‘Identity Thief’ Steals Again

Luke Hickman — Mon, 25 Feb 2013 17:00:37 +0000

This weekend’s box office results were all over the place. Only two movies finished where they were predicted to, notably ‘Identity Thief’, which climbed back into the top spot after being dethroned by ‘Die Hard’ last weekend. With the help of a $14 million weekend, the poorly-reviewed comedy has made $93.6 million in 17 days....

Now Playing: Capture the ‘Snitch’

Bryan Kluger — Fri, 22 Feb 2013 16:00:41 +0000

I was thoroughly impressed with Ric Roman Waugh’s ‘Snitch’, but for different reasons than you might expect. Inspired by true events, the film produces a sense of fear and hopelessness rather than the cheesy, light-hearted inspirational stories that we tend to see in these “Based on a True Story” movies. And Dwayne Johnson leaves his...

Weekend Movies: A Great Time for Oscar Catch-Up

Luke Hickman — Fri, 22 Feb 2013 14:00:41 +0000

After a loaded holiday weekend, this one seems pretty dismal in comparison. Perhaps you might want to play some last-minute Oscar catch-up instead of seeing any of this week’s mild releases. My guess is that the allegedly “Based on a True Story” ‘Snitch‘ accurately depicts the truth behind its source material just about as much...

The Trailer Park: Covert Agents and General MacArthur

M. Enois Duarte — Thu, 07 Feb 2013 20:00:26 +0000

In this week’s batch of trailers, devoted-dad Dwayne Johnson becomes a snitch, Matthew Fox builds a case against the emperor of Japan, and Bruce Willis comes out of retirement… again. ‘Snitch’ I think the best part of this trailer is the narrator’s voice saying, “How far would you go?” It’s an old-fashioned trailer that’s quick...

Box Office Pick’em: February 2013

Aaron Peck — Wed, 06 Feb 2013 20:00:11 +0000

With January in the bag, Aaron got to choose first in February’s Box Office Pick’em. I bet you can guess what his first pick was. Before we begin, we’re starting something new for February. At the bottom of this post, you’ll find a poll where you can vote for who you think will win the...
