Josh Zyber — Mon, 29 Jun 2015 12:00:40 +0000

Did you really think the month of June would close out with a huge batch of awesome, must-own Blu-rays? Get outta here… New Releases ‘Get Hard‘ – No, despite the title, this is not an extended Viagra informercial, but I can see where you’d be confused by that. His career on a decided downslide, Will...

Nicholas Sparks didn’t stand a chance against the ‘Fast and Furious’ franchise, the latest entry of which is now racing toward a spot in the Top 5 highest-grossing movies of all time.

‘While We’re Young’ Review: Young People Suck

Philip Brown — Thu, 02 Apr 2015 15:00:19 +0000

Noah Baumbach has been a master of caustic comedy since his debut ‘Kicking and Screaming’. (No, not the one with Will Ferrell. The other one.)

Weekend Box Office: ‘Home’ Is Where the Cash Is

Luke Hickman — Mon, 30 Mar 2015 16:00:15 +0000

Box office numbers have been down this year, but this weekend finally saw some action. The top two movies brought in nearly $89 million, which is especially impressive given that they received mostly negative reviews. Family flicks will (almost) always do better business than audience-limiting R-rated movies, so it’s no surprise that DreamWorks’ ‘Home‘ finished...

Weekend Movies: Hardly Worth the Effort

Luke Hickman — Fri, 27 Mar 2015 17:00:43 +0000

This weekend’s new movies will answer such questions as, “Does Will Ferrell still have any audience appeal?” and “Is DreamWorks Animation still struggling?” Opening on the most screens is the animated family flick ‘Home‘. Two very odd things are happening here. First, the trailers and synopsis make it appear as if the film’s screenplay is...

TIFF Journal: ‘While We’re Young’

Philip Brown — Thu, 18 Sep 2014 15:00:42 +0000

Middle-aged Noah Baumbach just had his greatest success with ‘Frances Ha‘, which dealt with the plight of the twenty-something with warmth, compassion and good humor. Now he’s made a move that feels like artistic venting after that experience. ‘While We’re Young’ is about how worthless all those twenty-something kids are, and it’s pretty damn priceless....
