Josh Zyber — Mon, 03 Nov 2014 14:00:15 +0000

This week’s new Blu-ray slate brings us one of the greatest TV shows of all time, an extended cut of a movie that was already too long, and some 3D movies that the studios aren’t bothering to release in 3D (at least, not in the United States). Those, plus a bunch of ugly SteelBooks. Let’s...

The future of the Galaxy is at risk of being upset by Michael Bay’s second waste of time this summer. ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ will face stiff competition this weekend from the Bay-produced reboot of ‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles‘. Director Jonathan Liebesman (‘Battle: Los Angeles‘ and ‘Wrath of the Titans‘) helms this retelling of the...

Josh Zyber — Tue, 27 Nov 2012 14:00:56 +0000

With Thanksgiving and Black Friday now over, the home video studios have decided to take things easy for another week. While we get a few discs that might be considered notable releases, the holiday season’s biggest titles won’t start rolling out until the beginning of December.

Weekend Box Office: ‘Dark Knight’ Still Rising

Luke Hickman — Mon, 30 Jul 2012 16:00:19 +0000

Despite the tragic shooting in Colorado and inconsistent word-or-mouth, ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ easily nabbed the #1 spot this weekend with $64 million. The ten-day totals for this trilogy-closer are north of $289 million domestically, which give the film a whopping $537.7 worldwide total. While this haul is large enough to deem the $250 million...

Weekend Movies: Counter-Programming

Luke Hickman — Fri, 27 Jul 2012 15:00:35 +0000

What kind of movies think they can go head-to-head with the Caped Crusader? Little ones – little movies that aren’t even close to playing on the same field as ‘The Dark Knight Rises’. This week, we have an R-rated comedy, a dance flick and a few awesome-sounding strange indie titles. With family in town and...

Josh Zyber — Tue, 03 Jul 2012 13:00:21 +0000

It’s a holiday week here in the United States, but not a gift-giving holiday. The home video studios have cut back the Blu-ray release slate to a minimum. Even within that, however, are a handful of titles to keep your eyes on. New Releases The week only has one notable new release, the appropriately titled...

An Insidious Cobra Plot – ‘G.I. Joe’ Sequel Doomed Again

Josh Zyber — Wed, 09 Mar 2011 17:00:54 +0000

Back in January, I posted the potential good news that Stephen Sommers had been fired from directing the sequel to his atrocious live action ‘G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra‘ movie. I speculated that – with a new director, new writers, and a complete recasting – perhaps there might be some hope for the sequel...

Drew Taylor — Mon, 09 Aug 2010 15:00:34 +0000

After three weeks as the undisputed champion of the North American box office, Christopher Nolan’s dreamy thriller ‘Inception‘ has fallen… to a couple of knucklehead cops played by Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg.

Weekend Movies: Will Ferrell vs. 3-D Moonwalkers

Drew Taylor — Fri, 06 Aug 2010 13:00:03 +0000

This weekend could be the one that finally knocks ‘Inception‘ out of the top spot at the box office. Not because a movie of similar quality is storming the multiplexes of America, but because we all really love Will Ferrell and, to a lesser degree, dance movies. That’s what Hollywood is delivering to us this...
