http://youtu.be/H7DpVAJjfcQ All honesty up front about this review- I have a small part in it. So I am reviewing this with some bias. It would be a complete lie to say I could do so otherwise. In 1999, two teenagers made a crime drama called Revolver Action. It was a VHS wonder that would never […]

Here Are Your 2014 Oscar Nominees
Looks like it will be another one of those years for Leonardo DiCaprio. This morning the nominees for the Academy Awards were announced and DiCaprio was nominated for his work in The Wolf of Wall Street (which was amazing) but I can already feel a McConaughey win on the horizon for Dallas Buyers Club. But […]
Weekend Box Office- September 20-22, 2013
Prisoners was the easy winner at the box office this past weekend. The kidnapping thriller starring Hugh Jackman and Jake Gyllanhaal had good reviews and took in $21.4 million. Insidious Chapter 2 fell off as expected and finished second with $14.5 million. The dance film Battle of the Year failed to find much support. I […]
Weekend Box Office- September 13-15, 2013
Insidious Chapter 2 opened on Friday the 13th with $20 million on its way to the second biggest September opening ever with $41 million. Director James Wan followed up his summer hit The Conjuring with an even bigger opening. The Conjuring made $270 million off of a $20 million budget making it one of the […]
Weekend Box Office- September 6-8, 2013
September started off on the weak side, but this is the beginning of the fall movie season and summer blockbusters are behind us. Riddick took the top spot with $18.6 million which is not a big take, though it will end up making money since Diesel funded the movie himself with the help of financial […]
Review: Riddick
It is through the pure love of the character, Richard B. Riddick, by actor Vin Diesel and writer/director David Twohy that this third film was even put to film. After 2004’s The Chronicles of Riddick crashed very hard at the box office it was easy to think that the tales of the night seeing convict […]
Weekend Box Office- August 30- September 2, 2014
Ok, so We’re the Millers didn’t finish on top, but I don’t want to post another picture of Forest Whitaker on here and damn if I am going to have One Direction up there. So Labor Day is summer’s last hoorah and people took advantage of the holiday weekend to give every movie a boost. […]
Review: The World’s End
Well, here we are. Nine years after Shaun of the Dead was released and somehow, inexplicably, went from a cult following to required watching for any comedy or zombie buff, we come to the The World’s End. The third film from the trio of Simon Pegg, Nick Frost and director Edgar Wright and while it […]
Weekend Box Office- August 23-25, 2013
It was a repeat winner at the box office this weekend as Lee Daniels’ The Butler only fell off 30% and took the top spot with $17 million. We’re the Millers came in second with $13.5 million and is headed towards the $100 million mark next week. The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones proved to […]
Weekend Box Office- August 16-18, 2013
Kick-Ass and Hit Girl were no match. For this week they faced the wrath of The Butler. Lee Daniels’ film about Cecil Gaines and his life of serving under eight presidents easily took the top spot with $25 million. We’re the Millers and Elysium had strong second weekend showings which left Kick-Ass 2 coming up […]
