“Shrek Forever After” is purportedly the last installment in Dreamwork’s extremely popular and highly successful animated franchise. The series has grossed over a billion in box office earnings and has certainly paved the way for dozens of other animated pictures. In “Shrek Forever After”, the ogre Shrek (Mike Myers) suddenly finds himself a domesticated family [...]
Wow, this film was awful! Since cancelling my satellite service, I’ve purchased regular subscriptions to both Netflix and Amazon Instant Video. While both streaming services have a decent selection of movies to choose from, there are seemingly countless low-budget flicks in both of their libraries (likely due to the fact that they’re cheap to obtain [...]
Iron Man is one of my least favorite comic-book icons. Perhaps it’s because of the cocky, arrogant, money flaunting playboy who dawns the suit. If that is indeed the case, then my hats off to Robert Downey Jr. for his exceptional interpretation of the biggest showoff in the Marvel universe. Still, I don’t think that’s [...]
Finally, after seemingly endless speculation, Relativity Media has finally found their leading man for their much-talked-about yet not-so-anticipated remake to The Crow. He’s an actor you will see in one of this summer’s most anticipated releases, Fast and Furious 6. After numerous casting choices including Mark Wahlberg, Bradley Cooper and Tom Hiddleston, the studio has [...]
We all knew Iron Man 3 would easily claim the top spot at this weekend’s box office, but we had no idea it would achieve the second-highest opening ever. That puts it behind The Avengers‘ $207.4 million and way ahead of Iron Man 2‘s $128.1 million. It also shows that comic book-based films show no [...]
Iron Man 3 is off to a tremendous start. The third installment in Marvel’s wildly popular, superhero franchise hasn’t even opened domestically, but Iron Man’s latest adventure has already pulled in a whopping $195.3 million across 42 international territories which represents 79% of the international marketplace. The film’s international opening weekend surpassed The Avengers $185.1 [...]
Tom Hiddleston, who played the villain Loki in Marvel’s The Avengers, is in early talks to play Eric Draven in Relativity Media’s upcoming The Crow reboot. The actor recently had dinner with the producers after he sent in a make-up test he did on his own in London. He is set to undergo an actual [...]
So far, 2013 hasn’t been too good for motion pictures as far as theatrical releases are concerned. Identity Thief was the first film of the year to cross the $100 million domestically, but fortunately, it won’t be the last. Things are finally starting to look up as Oz The Great and Powerful earned a whopping [...]
Marvel Studios recently dropped the second trailer for Iron Man 3, which launches Marvel’s Phase II on May 3rd. The third entry pits Tony Stark/Iron Man against his most powerful enemy yet: the Mandarin. When Stark finds his personal world crumbling around him, he embarks on a harrowing quest to find those responsible. The new [...]
Yet another slow weekend at the box office. Three of the top five films this weekend were new releases and none of them performed as well as expected. Even with showings in 3,525 theaters across the country, the Bryan Singer-directed Jack the Giant Slayer opened with a disappointing $26 million. That’s less than the $30 [...]
A sequel to last year’s hit horror flick Sinister is currently in development. Writers Scott Derrickson and C. Robert Cargill will once again pen the script, yet Derrickson will not direct the film this time around. The co-writers are meeting with other filmmakers to helm the project. This is most likely due to the fact that [...]
Universal Pictures recently released to brand new posters for director Joseph Kosinski’s Oblivion. Tom Cruise plays Jack Harper in this sci-fi thriller, who is one of the last men on Earth while the rest of civilization lives in cities in the sky. After crash-landing, a pilot emerges, along with a mysterious group of underground survivors and [...]
This weekend was a rather slow one at the box office. Identity Thief came out on top with an estimated $14 million over two new releases, Snitch and Dark Skies. The comedy, which stars Jason Bateman and Meliss McCarthy, has earned $93.7 million so far and will likely cross the $100 million mark by the [...]
Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2, the final entry in the franchise based on the book series by author Stephenie Meyer, arrives on Blu-ray and DVD March 2nd, 2013. To celebrate the release, we’re giving away two copies of the film on Blu-ray combo pack. The combo pack includes a copy of Twilight Saga: [...]
As expected, A Good Day to Die Hard came out on top of the box office with an estimated $29.3 million over President’s Day weekend. That doesn’t look all that impressive on paper, but it’s actually a decent start for a 25-year-old franchise and now ranked 10th among President’s Day openers. Identity Theft raked in $27.9 million [...]
