Turn to ‘The Blind Side’ for ‘Twilight’ relief
“The Blind Side” has some really tough competition at the box office this weekend, thanks to the ravenous “Twilight” fan base. However, anyone looking for a more grown-up movie can skip “New Moon” and take your instant cash loans over to “The Blind [...]
Everyone wants to see it – so how are the reviews?
/h2>
That’s right, teenie-boppers and anyone else really into this whole vampire thing New Moon comes out Nov. 20th, and the New Moon reviews are starting to pour in. The consensus among critics is that the film – you’ll have to [...]
Predicting the unpredictable
I am a pretty decisive person. For instance, when I saw the “Pirate Radio” trailer, I decided less than a minute in, “I definitely want to see that movie.” When I saw the “Fantastic Mr. Fox” trailer, I thought “I definitely do not want to see that movie.”
Based [...]
This weekend at the theater
If you don’t think the Rated R satirical comedy “The Men Who Stare at Goats” — which critics call “a farcical antidote to big-screen bores about Afghanistan and Iraq” — is quite your speed, you have a couple of options at pretty opposite ends of the [...]
Where the mild things are
After only one movie was widely released last weekend and sparse offerings this weekend, it appears winter movie season will kick into high gear next weekend. “Where the Wild Things Are” reviews indicate this is the film to see this weekend rather than the two thrillers [...]
‘Capitalism’ reviews good, but not great
In general, it seems people either love or hate Michael Moore’s documentaries based on whether they agree with his point or not. For instance, most people agree that health care is a necessity and it would be rad if we didn’t have to pay for [...]
Sci-fi frenzy this weekend
Sci-fi lovers will have a heyday at the box office this weekend, possibly making a return trip so they can see both “Pandorum” and “Surrogates.” The only other wide release, dance drama remake “Fame,” got horrible reviews. If you ask me though, the worse a dance drama [...]
‘Beyond a Reasonable Doubt’ reviews
It takes a lot for a film to get 0 percent on Rotten Tomatoes. That means no one, not one single critic, gave the film a good review. “Beyond a Reasonable Doubt” reviews are in, and it’s unanimous: no one likes this film.
Over at Metacritic, one [...]
Maybe not even horror fans can stomach this
Horror movie lovers might be pleased with the new offerings available this weekend at the box office, but they will be the only ones. Movie critics certainly are not impressed. People who take out faxless payday loans to see either of the two [...]
Cast of unknowns creates mainstream gold
Spending $20 million on a film that has only two recognizable names among its cast is a pretty big gamble. After all $20 million is no small pay day loan. Furthermore, one of those two names is only familiar to “High School Musical” fans. That [...]
Time Traveler’s Wife might not be best choice
Trying to decide what movie to go see? I have plenty of friends who are interested in seeing “The Time Traveler’s Wife,” but after seeing the movie reviews, I am considering whether I should advise them against it.
Then again, the makers of this [...]
Will “guy chick flick” be homerun?
“500 Days of Summer” is getting excellent reviews on Rotten Tomatoes, and looks like it will dominate the box office once the Harry Potter hype dies down.
Marc Webb, the director of “500 Days of Summer” says the premise of the movie is that it’s “a [...]
