While Summer doesn’t officially begin (and schools don’t get out) until the third week in June, MY Summer begins on May 3rd with the highly-anticipated release of “Iron Man 3”. Last May’s “The Avengers” ended-up being the Box Office champ of 2012, but it was really the only HUGE film that month: “Dark Shadows” disappointed, […]

I can’t remember a studio giving away free ticket to a new, big budget release. But that’s exactly what Lionsgate is doing for “The Big Wedding”. Fans can take advantage of a ‘Buy 1 Get 1 Free’ promotion for the entire run of the film in theaters – not just opening night or a special, […]

Another Earth Day has come and gone. But if you’re thinking of celebrating this week by heading to the theater to see this year’s Earth Day-inspired nature documentary forget about it. Neither Disney nor IMAX is releasing a 2013 Earth Day film. The Earth Day nature movie tradition was started by Disneynature in 2009 (“Earth”), […]

If only I was sitting in an auditorium at CinemaCon on Wednesday afternoon instead of in a classroom at school. Lucky attendees at the annual Las Vegas event got quite a surprise: the chance to watch the entire version of Disney/Pixar’s “Monsters University” two months before it’s official release. It was an unfinished, rough-cut of […]

Star Vin Diesel making the announcement this week at CinemaCon. However, “Fast and Furious […]

UPDATE: “42” stunned at the Friday box office with $9.1 million. Jackie Robinson biopic won the Weekend Box Office with an impressive $27.25 million, beating “The Benchwarmers”‘ $19.7 million to have the biggest opening weekend of all-time for a baseball film. With the opening of “42” this weekend I thought it would be fun to […]

“Awesomeness” will be returning to a theater near you sooner than expected. DreamWorks Animation has announced that “Kung Fu Panda 3” will be released on December 23, 2015, three months sooner than originally planned. “KFP3” joins “The Penguins of Madagascar”, “BOO” and “Trolls” on the ’15 schedule. “Mumbai Musical”, which was originally going to be […]

Roger Ebert was simply the best. A great writer and also a great TV personality. Many before and after have tried to combine those two, but no one has or ever will do it as well as Roger. He loved movies and loved sharing his opinions of them. He was the reason I became a […]

Disney/Pixar has announced that “Finding Nemo 2” has been officially re-titled “Finding Dory”. The release date has also been moved-up from 2016 to Wednesday, November 25, 2015 – so it’s a sure-fire blockbuster for the five-day Thanksgiving Weekend. Ellen DeGeneres herself was the first to make the announcement by posting the film’s logo online. This […]

This has the makings of a BIG April at the Box Office. And it actually shouldn’t be difficult to top April ’12 since the highest-grossing movie that month, “Think Like a Man”, only made $91.5 million – and even that was a big surprise. Here are the highly anticipated releases that should fill seats at […]
