You can learn a lot about a new boyfriend/girlfriend by which movie they suggest you go see on Valentine’s Day. This year’s slate of February movies is pretty broad too. So there is a lot to choose from. If your date suggests Deadpool, they’re probably a keeper. If they suggest seeing Star Wars again, marry…
Star Wars: The Force Awakens is still force choking all the competition at the box office, but let’s pretend for a few minutes that you may actually go and see something else this month. In actuality, it will probably be Star Wars for the fourth of fifth time. But there are some movies that look…
Spectre and The Hunger Games: Mockingjay- Part 2 did a pretty good job of taking our money in November. Though both underperformed at the box office compared to their predecessors. That shouldn’t be in an issue in December when Star Wars: The Force Awakens is going to earn a pile of money the size of…
I’m slowly recovering from the excess of Halloween candy I ate during the month of October. I’m also trying to recover from the amount of must see movies that came out during the month. But we’ll find no relief for our cinema rewards cards in November. Two of the November movies (Mockingjay-Part 2 and Spectre)…
During our full week of New York Comic Con coverage we’ve talked about a lot of exciting projects. But many of the biggest panels were related to television shows both past and present. NYCC did cover some upcoming films though. In fact, last weekend two Hollywood stars brought their upcoming movies to the Con. It…
Robert Kirkman is a pretty big deal these days. The creator of The Walking Dead comic book series has led his characters to their horrific deaths while amassing tons of regular readers and record viewers on the AMC show based on the comic. This past weekend was kind of a big one for Kirkman, a 36…
It’s no secret that the titles, characters, and games that are popular at comic conventions aren’t necessarily the same as what the general public is into. Never is this more evident than when you see the reaction the stars of Firefly and Serenity get when they enter a room full of their faithful convention fans….
The impressive spectacle that is New York Comic Con hit its apex late Saturday afternoon when the main stage was conquered by Marvel and Netflix. The casts of both the hugely successful Daredevil and the upcoming Jessica Jones series greeted the packed theater to deafening cheers. I’ll admit that even this fairly reserved writer screeched like…
Agent Phil Coulson has had quite the career in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the company’s television branch. So when he shows up at New York Comic Con you better believe people lose their minds. Sure, we knew the fans liked Agents of SHIELD and Agent Carter, but this weekend saw another sold out panel covering…
Okay so in hindsight I was a bit overly optimistic about September movies. But October really is good, I swear! There are some early Oscar contenders alongside blockbusters and plenty to choose from for the Halloween fan in all of us. The number of titles is hefty this month. Fourteen wide release movies means you’ll…
So, August didn’t really go as planned. Straight Outta Compton did incredibly well, but the month’s comic book entry (Fantastic Four) absolutely bombed. Plus, Zac Efron’s We are Your Friends had one of the worst opening weekend’s in cinematic history. Ouch! Well, I bet September movies are going to bounce back, right? Well, at first…
Well, we’ve made it. They definitely took the scenic route to the answers in season two of True Detective. They drove us through miles of contaminated land with our eyes burned out, but eventually we got to our destination, a bench on the side of the highway. There weren’t many loose ends left hanging after…
The script for July at the box office was a predictable one. Marvel conquered, critics were disappointed with Adam Sandler, and children dragged their parents out in big numbers to see the animated faire of the moment, Minions. Well August movies aren’t quite so easy to crack. The number of big blockbusters is less than…
You know, sometimes I wish True Detective had more going on. I wish it were more complicated with more characters. I just feel like they don’t throw around the names of minor characters enough. And would they stop making everything so fun and happy. This has been an example of sarcasm. Now let’s try and…
Season one of True Detective revealed the killer to be a minor character nobody was really expecting. I’m starting to get the vibe that this season will see a big player be the guilty party. This week’s episode began to show signs that we are moving toward a conclusion. There are clues galore as we…
