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...

Among other things, this week’s new batch of Blu-rays brings us an aging action star struggling to maintain relevance in the current cinema market while a new talent claws her way up to the top for the first time.

Not that the studio is worried, but the latest installment to the Cinematic Universe opened below expectations and became Marvel’s second-weakest debut behind 2008’s ‘The Incredible Hulk’. At the same time, Judd Apatow saw his second-best opening thanks to Amy Schumer. Marvel’s ‘Ant-Man‘ defeated those little yellow Minions with an underwhelming $58 million. Predictions placed...

This weekend offers a variety of trainwrecks – small, emotional, geriatric and existential. Okay, okay, Marvel’s latest comic book movie isn’t really a trainwreck, but it’s definitely not a home run either. If there’s one thing that Marvel needs right now, it’s variety. The studio finally gave us some last summer with ‘Guardians of the...

‘Trainwreck’ Review: Filthy, Feminist and Oddly Old-Fashioned

Philip Brown — Fri, 17 Jul 2015 13:00:29 +0000

It’s been a hell of a year for Amy Schumer, who seemed to pop up almost everywhere as her cable sketch-comedy series hit its stride. She’s at once on point with the social climate of her time and willing to push boundaries. Most importantly, she’s really goddamn funny. It only makes sense that this summer...
