Because they’re still a little young to watch the famous blockbuster about that disaster, which would be too long and too scary for a couple of 4-year-olds, I had the dubious idea of starting them off with Ghosts of the Abyss, James Cameron’s...

Most titles held over well, but the real news came from the new limited releases. The numbers for two of the three are so good that their expansions will happen sooner than later. Pixar’s latest is still the #1...

Perhaps this is just me being overly judgmental again, but this week’s theatrical release of ‘The Emoji Movie’ doesn’t look like it will stand the test of time. With that in mind, let’s look at some of our other least favorite animated...

Actor Bill Paxton died on Saturday. No, not the President from ‘Independence Day’ – the other guy, the one from ‘Aliens’. I kid, of course. Film fans have long joked about confusing Bill Paxton and Bill Pullman....

On the other hand, at least there are a lot of them. By volume alone, you might find something of interest. New Releases (Blu-ray) ‘Keanu‘ – The comedy team of Key & Peele take...

How will Hans Zimmer and Danny Elfman ever pick up all the slack he’s left behind? With over 150 credits to his name, James Horner scored tons of movies you’ve certainly...

Making a disaster movie essentially gives a director the opportunity to return to his childhood...

With ‘Captain Phillips’ setting sail for box office glory this weekend, let’s take a look at some of our other favorite movies involving boats. Please note: To qualify, it is not required that the entire movie take place on a boat, merely that some important scene...

How many years’ distance will it take before we’ve fully moved on, and Hollywood can go about its business of producing an overblown epic disaster movie about a pair of star-crossed lovers (one in each of the...
