Josh Zyber — Tue, 19 Jan 2016 13:00:50 +0000

When it came time to recognize the contribution that black artists and performers made to cinema during 2015, it appears that the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences ran all outta nominations. Sorry, people of color! At least we can still watch your movies on Blu-ray. New Releases ‘Straight Outta Compton‘ – To cut...

Last week’s reigning champions continued their successful runs. Meanwhile, no amount of pixie dust could save this weekend’s two biggest new movies. Ridley Scott’s ‘The Martian‘ dominated the box office for the second consecutive week.

Weekend Box Office: A Little Life on Mars After All

Luke Hickman — Mon, 05 Oct 2015 16:00:00 +0000

As expected, Ridley Scott’s science-fiction disaster flick took the top spot at the box office, but that wasn’t the weekend’s only success story. Narrowly missing the all-time October record of $55.7 million set by ‘Gravity’, ‘The Martian‘ claimed the second-highest October debut with $55 million. The 3D Matt Damon vehicle pulled in that total from...

In an all-around successful weekend, both Adam Sandler’s animated sequel and Nancy Meyers’ new film opened to solid numbers, alongside the expansions of some films that did well in limited release.

Weekend Movies: I Vant to Sock Your Blood

Luke Hickman — Fri, 25 Sep 2015 17:00:41 +0000

September continues to be surprisingly busy for movies this year. This weekend brings three new nationwide releases, one nationwide expansion, one new notable limited release, and one limited expansion. Adam Sandler can’t get butts in the seats for his PG-13 comedies anymore. ‘Pixels’ was a major summer tentpole flop. Lucky for the down-and-out (and presumably...

‘The Intern’ Review: Interminable and Inconceivable

Philip Brown — Fri, 25 Sep 2015 13:00:51 +0000

Stale, safe and manipulative, ‘The Intern’ is the cinematic equivalent of an exhausted sigh from a collection of filmmakers and actors who just don’t seem to care about what they’re doing. It’s a movie that exists based on a lazy pitch that probably went something like this: “What if an old guy was an intern...
