Josh Zyber — Mon, 07 May 2018 12:00:45 +0000

Hey everyone, get excited. That record-breaking big hit movie that everybody loved comes out on Blu-ray next week! This week though… Ehhhhhhhh… New Releases (Blu-ray) ‘Fifty Shades Freed‘ – It’s the third entry in the franchise and allegedly the last, in which lovebirds and S&M aficionados Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele get married. I actually...

‘Stitchers’ Pilot Recap: “Let’s Cut Those Clothes Off You and Get Busy”

Josh Zyber — Thu, 04 Jun 2015 13:00:51 +0000

A few years ago, CBS tried to develop a TV series based on the Jake Gyllenhaal sci-fi thriller ‘Source Code‘. When those plans were eventually scrapped, the ABC Family network stepped in to create a thinly-disguised Young Adult knockoff of the same premise, called ‘Stitchers’. The pilot episode is about as good as you’d imagine...

Posterizing: ‘Total’ Recalling

Aaron Peck — Thu, 19 Apr 2012 13:00:12 +0000

In today’s edition of Posterizing, we take a look at some truly unique poster designs and wonder if the generic artwork on the ‘Total Recall’ poster is a bad omen for the movie. ‘The Weather Outside’ I don’t know much about this movie. Scratch that, I don’t know anything at all about this movie. All...

Mid-Week Poll: Favorite Critically-Acclaimed Films of 2011

Josh Zyber — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 14:00:19 +0000

Our poll last week asked you to identify which of 2011’s blockbuster hits was your favorite. To date, the ‘Harry Potter’ finale has taken the lead, followed by ‘X-Men: First Class’ and ‘Rise of the Planet of the Apes’. Unfortunately, good movies don’t always manage to become blockbusters. This week, we’ll take a look at...

‘Source Code’ to Receive the Television Treatment

Luke Hickman — Wed, 21 Sep 2011 15:00:04 +0000

The Hollywood Reporter broke the news last week that Duncan Jones’ sci-fi thriller ‘Source Code‘ is headed to CBS in the form of a new TV series. Because little is known at this point, it’s unclear whether the show will feature the same characters from the film or entirely new ones. The series will follow...

Weekend Box Office: Birds Beat Easter Bunny

Drew Taylor — Mon, 25 Apr 2011 15:00:42 +0000

Easter weekend moviegoers went for the birds again, as ‘Rio’ was the number one film for the second week in a row. I thought that maybe ‘Hop’, the movie about the mischievous, rock ‘n roll-playing Easter Bunny, might pull a holiday-style rabbit out of the hat, but no… ‘Rio‘ did indeed conquer the box office...

Weekend Box Office: ‘Hop’ Stays on Top (See What I Did There?)

Drew Taylor — Mon, 11 Apr 2011 15:00:30 +0000

For the second weekend in a row, the furry appeal of ‘Hop’ was too much for audiences (perhaps sedated or heavily drugged) to resist. The Russell Brand-voiced Easter Bunny movie made it to the #1 spot again. That’s interesting because, in doing so, it easily trumped another Russell Brand movie (one in which he is...

Weekend Box Office: ‘Hop’ Skips and Jumps to the Top

Drew Taylor — Mon, 04 Apr 2011 15:00:58 +0000

The three big movies that opened this weekend couldn’t be more different: a spooky haunted house thriller, a high concept kids film about the mythical inner life of the Easter Bunny, and a trippy sci-fi film about time travel, alternate universes and the power of true love (Awww…). What’s amazing is that all of these...

Weekend Movies: Whole Lotta Stuff

Drew Taylor — Fri, 01 Apr 2011 15:00:34 +0000

A trio of biggish movies open this weekend, some of them better than others. If you aren’t jonesing for some mainstream multiplex fare, some oddball art house pics and some smaller films also expand wider. Oh, and there’s a PG-13 ‘King’s Speech’ for some reason. The biggest, or at least the most interesting, movie opening...

SXSW Journal: ‘Source Code’

Drew Taylor — Thu, 17 Mar 2011 15:00:42 +0000

‘Source Code’ has a simple, intriguing sci-fi conceit: Through a clandestine, morally nebulous program, the government can plant the consciousness of a willing (or unwilling) solider into the body of someone who has recently died. (In this case, it’s the victim of a terrorist attack on a Chicago commuter train.) That soldier can then re-experience...
