I saw three movies this past weekend – “The Social Network” (see review below), “Secretariat” (can’t post the review until later this week) and “Beauty and the Beast”. I attended one of the sing-a-long events that Fathom presented around the country. While I enjoy singing, that isn’t why I was so anxious to see the […]

“The Social Network” will run away with top hon0rs at the box office this weekend. The big battle will be for the 2nd spot. Here’s are my picks for the Top 10: 1) “The Social Network” – $34.0 2) “Wall Street 2” – $11.6 3) “The Town” – $10.7 4) “Let Me In” – $10.5 […]

“Beauty and the Beast” will be released on a new Blu-ray Special Edition DVD this Tuesday, but this Saturday, you can experience a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Fathom Events (best known for their ads before the movie begins, especially for the Opera) is showing a “Beauty and the Beast Sing-A-Long” in theaters all across the country. This […]

I’ve got a new favorite show to watch as I’m getting ready to leave for school in the morning – “Timmy Time”. This is Aardman Animations latest creation, and it’s hysterical. The show can be found on the Disney Channel, during their Playhouse Disney block Monday-Friday. And yes, it’s designed for pre-schoolers. But I dare […]

I’d like to predict that “Legend of the Guardians” will beat “Wall Street” at the Box Office this weekend. “Guardians” is in a few more theaters and it’s got the 3D and IMAX advantage. But I can’t. But I do think it’ll be a lot closer than most movie people think. Here are my picks […]

“The Other Guys” is still in the top 10. Seven weeks now, which is pretty amazing since it was released in early August, when no one goes to the movies, and it continues to attract fans throughout September. Why has it been able to last? Maybe because it was released in early August. “The Other […]

Here’s a recap of how I did with my predictions. The official Top 10 estimates are below. I’ll give myself a “C”, but I’m a tough critic: 1) The Town $18.5M – Got it right @ #1, but missed the $$$ by a lot. 2) Easy A $15.6 – Underestimated the $ as well. Bigger […]

Big news that you may have missed from this past weekend: “At the Movies” is coming back and Roger Ebert is coming back with it! Ebert (and his wife Chaz) are producing the show, plus Roger will appear each week with his own segment. This is fantastic! The show will be broadcast on PBS stations […]

“Flipped” was scheduled to be released nationwide on August 27. However, at the last minute, Warner Brothers decided to only put it out in a handful of theaters in a few major cities. “The Winning Season” came out a few weeks ago, but only in three theaters in the entire country, and also on Pay […]

It’s time, once again, for the “LCJ Summer Movie Awards”. MOST FORGETTABLE I saw “Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time” the day it came out and I really haven’t thought about it since. Dull story, boring special effects, ho-hum performances. The only memorable scene in the film is when Alfred Molina’s character kisses an ostrich. […]
