Action movies “Avengers: Age of Ultron”, “Jurassic World”, “Terminator: Genisys”, “Ant-Man”, “Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation” and “Fantastic Four” will likely dominate the Summer 2015 Box Office. However, surprisingly, there are just as many comedies lined-up between May and August that will be looking to attract audiences of all ages. It’s an especially good time for […]
Pre-Kickoff: 6-6:30pmET FOX is pushing full-steam ahead on its “Kingsman: The Secret Service” campaign. The Colin Firth/Samuel L. Jackson action/thriller opens in the US in less than two weeks, on Friday the 13th. But we’re only a few days away from the big screen return of America’s modern animated icon, as Paramount’s “The SpongeBob Movie: […]
And now – the movies to look forward to (and avoid) over the second half of 2015: JULY 1 – “Magic Mike XXL”, “Terminator: Genisys” (Dictionary addition?) 10 – “Minions”, “Gallows” 17 – “Ant-Man”, “Trainwreck” (the review probably writes itself) 24 – “Pan”, “Pixels”, “Poltergeist” (Scary, Scarier, and Scariest) 31 – “Grimsby”, “Point Break”, “Self/Less” […]
In what was a summer of the “action crime comedy”, “2 Guns” pulled-off this genre better than some (“R.I.P.D”, “The Heat”) and not as good as others (“Red 2”, “White House Down”). But even though it features two big stars, “2 Guns” is unnecessarily too complex, and ends-up being too ridiculous for its own good. […]
What a week it’s been for the entertainment industry. More of the top headlines: “You’re returning to the big screen, Mr. Grinch”. Universal and Illumination Entertainment (the studio behind “Despicable Me” and 2012’s smash hit “The Lorax”) are developing an animated remake of another Dr. Seuss classic – “How the Grinch Stole Christmas!” Of course, […]
One of the TV commercials that was used when “John Carter” was released in theaters back in February claimed that before there was “Star Wars” and “Avatar” there was John Carter. And that’s very true. The character was the creation of famed writer Edgar Rice Burroughs back in 1912. But the ad campaign doesn’t go […]
The day is finally here for Journey 2: The 2nd time the Giants and the the Patriots are meeting in the Super Bowl. Will Eli Manning need another Big Miracle play in the 4th quarter to beat Tom Brady and N.E. again? Or will the old War Horse, Tom Coughlin, be a Man on a […]
Christmas Weekend at the Box Office wasn’t very strong. With the big holiday on a Sunday, all of the family movies disappointed, but the more adult films didn’t do much better. “M:I4” won with $26.5M (the lowest open in the franchise – hurt by the IMAX opening). “Sherlock 2” dropped over 50% from the previous […]
It’s official: There will be a “Sherlock Holmes 2”, to be released on December 16, 2011. What’s funny about it being released on that date, is that it’ll, once again, go up against Alvin and the Chipmunks. “Sherlock 2” will also be head-to-head with “Mission: Impossible IV”. All three of those films will hopefully be […]
