Weekend Roundtable: Most Undeserving 2016 Oscar Nominees

Josh Zyber — Fri, 19 Feb 2016 20:00:35 +0000

The Oscars are just a week away. As happens most years, some of the nominees for this year’s Academy Awards are less deserving of awards and praise than others. Like some of these, for example. Mike Attebery I had high hopes for ‘Steve Jobs‘. Even after its somewhat tortured production, I thought the film stood...

Blu-ray Highlights: Week of February 7th, 2016 – Peak-a-Boo!

Josh Zyber — Mon, 08 Feb 2016 13:00:41 +0000

Judging by the number of new releases available, this is a pretty light week for Blu-ray. However, a couple of those titles are heavy hitters (perhaps one more so than the other). New Releases ‘Spectre‘ – It seems that we’re going to have to implement an “Odd-Numbered Movies Rule” for the Daniel Craig entries in...

Poll: Favorite Blockbusters of 2015

Josh Zyber — Wed, 30 Dec 2015 13:00:31 +0000

2015 was a year of many blockbuster movies that made lots of money. Many of them did not deserve to make so much money, but a few may have been halfway watchable, and an even smaller number actually “good.” Which of the year’s mega-hits did you see? More importantly, which did you enjoy and which...

Weekend Box Office: We Wish You a Scary Christmas

Luke Hickman — Mon, 07 Dec 2015 17:00:12 +0000

For the third consecutive week, ‘The Hunger Games’ took the top spot at the box office. That was to be expected. What wasn’t expected was that a PG-13 Christmas horror tale came close to defeating Katniss. While ‘The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 2‘ only slipped a mild 50% in its second week, it took a...

Weekend Movies: Gonna Fly Now

Luke Hickman — Mon, 30 Nov 2015 17:00:42 +0000

Over the Thanksgiving holiday, ‘The Hunger Games’ claimed the top spot at the box office for a second consecutive week while Pixar’s new family flick and the ‘Rocky’ spin-off opened strongly. Too bad the same can’t be said for the record-setting low of the latest retelling of Mary Shelley’s ‘Frankenstein’. ‘The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part...

Weekend Box Office: Not Quite As Hungry This Time

Luke Hickman — Mon, 23 Nov 2015 16:00:24 +0000

We knew that the ‘Hunger Games’ finale would top the box office this weekend, but the franchise’s picture-over-picture decline is rather surprising. Unfortunately, that’s not the only new movie to perform below expectations. The ‘Hunger Games’ franchise started with incredible strength and momentum. Although it has come to a close with unarguable box office success,...

Weekend Box Office: Golden Bond

Luke Hickman — Mon, 16 Nov 2015 17:00:20 +0000

As expected, last week’s top two movies continued to dominate the box office this weekend. Meanwhile, the three new nationwide releases opened to peanuts. ‘Spectre‘ topped both the domestic and international charts once again – but that will change next weekend when ‘The Hunger Games’ takes the stage to bring its series to a close....

Weekend Box Office: Double-0 Seventy Three Million

Luke Hickman — Mon, 09 Nov 2015 17:00:50 +0000

Following the critical and box office success of ‘Skyfall’, the James Bond franchise is still killing it. At that same time, Charlie Brown, Snoopy and company proved that they’re still relevant and bankable too. Although Daniel Craig’s fourth 007 film, ‘Spectre‘, opened to $15 million less than franchise-best ‘Skyfall’, it still had no problem topping...
