Weekend Roundtable: Favorite Giant Monsters

Josh Zyber — Fri, 10 Mar 2017 20:00:44 +0000

Kong may be king, but he’s far from the only oversized beastie to stomp across cinema screens over the years. As we watch the big ape clobber the box office in his new reboot, let’s also remember some of our other favorite giant monsters from movies, TV and other media. Just because they’re far too...

Aaron Peck — Tue, 30 Oct 2012 19:00:37 +0000

We had some really close match-ups over the weekend. Both went down to the wire. As of now, it looks like razor-thin victories will go to the Mummy and Cloverfield. In today’s Monster Madness, we’ll find out if trolls like marshmallows and what happens when a killer doll meets a killer leprechaun. Part of the...

The Netflix Stream: Week of September 25th, 2011

Dick Ward — Thu, 29 Sep 2011 16:00:13 +0000

The end of the month always means a big shakeup at Netflix, and this one’s no different. We’re losing the Bond movies, a few Kubrick flicks and even a Muppet movie. (Though ‘Muppets from Space’ isn’t really a huge loss.) We’re getting a few good things in return, fortunately, including a Norwegian film that I’ve...

Blu-ray Highlights for 8/23/11 – You’re So Money!

Josh Zyber — Tue, 23 Aug 2011 13:00:27 +0000

Indie movies dominate the Blu-ray scene this week, with a special emphasis on indie movies from the mid ’90s about gambling. What a strange niche to fill all of a sudden. Here’s the week’s complete release list: ‘Bambi II‘ (Disney/Buena Vista) ‘Bambi II (DVD Packaging)‘ (Disney/Buena Vista) ‘The Beaver‘ (Summit) ‘Blitz‘ (Millennium Media) ‘Emerson, Lake,...

Weekend Box Office: Super 8 Beats Expectations

Luke Hickman — Mon, 13 Jun 2011 15:00:58 +0000

Negative buzz starting flying around the internet last week concerning the box office potential of ‘Super 8’. Mid-week, Paramount predicted earnings between $25-$30 million, and claimed those low numbers were acceptable considering that ‘Super 8’ was produced on a surprisingly low budget of only $50 million. It wouldn’t take long to make its money back....

Weekend Movies: Go Back in Time with Super 8

Luke Hickman — Fri, 10 Jun 2011 15:00:25 +0000

Being the only potential blockbuster opening this weekend, it is beyond me why Paramount would only predict a $25-$30 million opening for J.J. Abrams’ nostalgic creature flick ‘Super 8’. While other studios have criticized ‘Super 8’ for its low tracking numbers, Paramount says that it’s completely happy with this prediction – especially considering that the...

Sundance Journal: The Good with the Bad

Aaron Peck — Thu, 27 Jan 2011 20:00:36 +0000

My fourth day at Sundance was my most extensive movie day. I saw five films. I’ve come to find out that five movies in a day is my limit. Any more than that, they all start to just blend together. It’s harder to judge and critique when you’re seeing that many movies in a day....
