Poll: Dwayne Johnson or Jason Statham?

Josh Zyber — Wed, 31 Jul 2019 12:00:25 +0000

Hobbs & Shaw teams up Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham as reluctant partners, but which actor is really the better action star? If only one of them could continue to have a career based on your decision, which would you choose? This is, deliberately, a difficult decision. Both actors are charismatic, likable movie stars. Both...

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...

Blu-ray Highlights: Week of September 27th, 2015 – Hi, Robot!

Josh Zyber — Mon, 28 Sep 2015 12:00:26 +0000

Looking for new Blu-rays to buy this week? You might find an interesting title or two. Let’s get avengin’! New Releases ‘Avengers: Age of Ultron‘ – It was perhaps inevitable that Marvel’s follow-up to ‘The Avengers’ would be a disappointment. Not a financial disappointment, mind you (the sequel still made a good $1.4 billion), but...

Weekend Box Office: Indominus Wrecks the Competition Again

Luke Hickman — Mon, 29 Jun 2015 16:00:45 +0000

Although two new movies opened nationwide this weekend, neither was ever a serious contender for the top of the box office. For the third consecutive week, box office victory went to ‘Jurassic World‘. The behemoth sequel grossed another $54.2 million, just enough to push its domestic total to $500 million. The first ‘Avengers’ previously held...

Luke Hickman — Mon, 22 Jun 2015 16:00:19 +0000

While Pixar’s latest release had a very successful opening weekend, those Jurassic dinosaurs continue to break records. After just ten days, ‘Jurassic World‘ has grossed a massive $398.2 million domestically thanks to a better-than-expected holdover. Dropping just 51% in attendance, the movie’s sophomore weekend resulted in an additional $102 million – and the success doesn’t...

Weekend Box Office: Hold on to Your Butts

Luke Hickman — Mon, 15 Jun 2015 16:00:13 +0000

Breaking into record-setting territory, Steven Spielberg’s 22-year-old dino franchise is far from extinct. Nobody saw this coming, not even Universal. Expected to open around the $100 million mark, ‘Jurassic World‘ proved to be a much bigger powerhouse than that. From 4,274 locations, the fourth installment in the franchise (which is the first in 14 years)...

Weekend Box Office: Spies Like Us, And We Like Spies

Luke Hickman — Mon, 08 Jun 2015 16:00:56 +0000

With glowing reviews and great word-of-mouth, it’s no surprise that Melissa McCarthy’s new comedy came in at the top of the box office this weekend. However, much like Warners’ big-screen revival of an HBO series, it didn’t quite live up to expectations. After McCarthy’s ‘Tammy‘ failed to entertain last summer, it looked like her schtick...

I Spy with My Little Eye… Weekend Movies!

Luke Hickman — Fri, 05 Jun 2015 17:00:13 +0000

This weekend offers a big blend of new movies, two of which go head-to-head for the same R-rated comedy-loving crowd. Getting a head start on the weekend, Warner’s big-screen addition to HBO’s ‘Entourage‘ series debuted on Wednesday. It’s safe to assume that the mid-week opening was to help rake in some extra income prior to...

‘Spy’ Review: The Name’s McCarthy, Melissa McCarthy

Philip Brown — Thu, 04 Jun 2015 19:00:21 +0000

Ever since she stole ‘Bridesmaids’ away from a cast too good for that to be easy, Hollywood has struggled to find a movie worthy of Melissa McCarthy’s sudden stardom. After a bunch of financially successful but not particularly good attempts, ‘Spy’ comes as something between a pleasant surprise and a relief. It’s no groundbreaking masterpiece...
