February this year starts with a monstrous assortment of new Blu-ray releases. Do you see any titles you’re in love with? New Releases (Blu-ray) ‘Trolls‘ – Just when you thought ‘The Angry Birds Movie’ was crassly commercial filmmaking at its worst, here comes an animated kids’ movie based on those crazy-haired dolls that have been...

Poll: Favorite Blockbusters of 2016

Josh Zyber — Wed, 28 Dec 2016 13:00:11 +0000

From ‘Kung Fu Panda 3’ in January to ‘Rogue One’ at year end, a lot of movies in 2016 made a lot of money at the box office. Not all of them were actually well liked by the audiences that paid for them, but let’s not dwell on the negatives today. What were your favorite...

Weekend Box Office: Oh Oh, It’s Magic!

Luke Hickman — Mon, 21 Nov 2016 17:00:53 +0000

The fans turned out this weekend for the latest offering in J.K. Rowling’s wizarding world, but that was the only movie to perform as expected. Not only did the other wide releases miss the mark, but the expanding limited releases under-performed and all other holdovers dropped harder than usual. Of the expected moviegoers, only the...

Weekend Box Office: Strange Daze

Luke Hickman — Mon, 14 Nov 2016 17:00:42 +0000

What a weekend! Although none could topple last week’s Top 2, three of the four new movies performed exceptionally well. On top of that, last week’s releases held over superbly. November is looking up – especially for Disney, the studio that has turned 2016 into a record year. ‘Doctor Strange‘ managed to hold onto the...

Weekend Box Office: Just What the Doctor Ordered

Luke Hickman — Mon, 07 Nov 2016 16:00:29 +0000

Each of the weekend’s three wide movies releases performed very well at the box office. Marvel’s newest superhero made a grade introduction, DreamWorks Animation’s second 2016 release earned $10 million above expectations, and Mel Gibson’s low-budget war drama won over audiences. After several weeks of mostly bad news, it’s nice to report on some big...

Weekend Movies: Easy to Troll

Luke Hickman — Fri, 04 Nov 2016 14:00:29 +0000

A diverse blend of movies opens in theaters this weekend. Surprisingly, the widest of the releases isn’t Marvel’s latest comic book extravaganza, but a toy-based cartoon from DreamWorks Animation. Between a superhero in crisis, singing and dancing ’80s dolls, and a religious war film, which will you see? Toy companies have successfully capitalized on Hollywood...

‘Trolls’ Review: All Dolled Up with Nowhere to Go

Philip Brown — Fri, 04 Nov 2016 12:00:36 +0000

Hey, remember how everyone was begging for a movie based on those toy trolls from the ’90s? Yeah, me neither. Even in this age of nostalgia, those dumb dolls with the big hair haven’t made a comeback. Nevertheless, someone in the bowels of Fox decided that we all actually wanted a troll doll movie. In...

The Trailer Park: An Animated End of the World

M. Enois Duarte — Thu, 30 Jun 2016 13:00:46 +0000

Even as a big fan of animated films, this week’s new movie trailers for upcoming CG-animated features are largely disappointing. They don’t generate much interest or excitement. ‘Ice Age: Collision Course’ I rather enjoy the previous ‘Ice Age’ movies, but the preview for the latest installment to the popular animated franchise feels a bit disappointing....
