We’ve all been waiting for the new release date for this sequel (it was originally scheduled to come out this Friday, but that plan […]

“Avatar” has become the highest-grossing U.S. film of 2009, with $429 million, passing “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen”. I’m still surprised by “Avatar”‘s incredible success, because I don’t love the film. But I’m also happy that it will be the top film of the year, and not “Transformers 2” which I hated. Very soon “Avatar” […]

While we look at Best and Worst lists and prepare for awards season I’m in the mood to take a look back.

It’s the biggest weekend of all-time at the box office, even though the #1 film didn’t make $100 million. “Avatar” came in first again with another $75 million. That’s bigger than last weekend. “Sherlock Holmes” made a surprising $65.4 Million to come in second. “Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel” grossed $50.2 million Friday through […]

As the holidays are upon us, I’d like to start off by saying thank you to all the people who have been regulars for visiting the site this past year, and if you’re new, welcome. Hopefully over the next year, you will enjoy the site as much as I have. Well, at the box office, […]

Add “Toy Story 3” to the list of 2010 movies coming-out in IMAX 3D. This will be a first for Pixar, and it should be great. Last week on ABC Family they showed a scene from the movie in which Andy is deciding whether or not to bring his toys with him to college. After […]
