Box Office Weekend: Jurassic World a Dino-Sized Megahit
The lull that began June has ended. Jurassic World may not have been the critical darling the original film was over twenty years ago, but its opening weekend box office numbers blew past those of all three previous films and even bested Avengers: Age of Ultron with an estimated $204.6 million. Meanwhile, Spy, the hit of last week, barely made a ripple this weekend with an estimated $16 million, a...[Read More]
Movie Review: Jurassic World
I was twelve years old when I first saw the original Jurassic Park in the theatres. For a kid obsessed with dinosaurs, it was a cinematic experience to remember. Based on the Michael Crichton novel and directed by Steven Spielberg, Jurassic Park was the movie event during the summer of 1993. Surely a big-budget remake helmed by a relative unknown director couldn’t capture the same magic as t...[Read More]

Box Office Weekend: Spy Biggest Hit of Slow June Start
If May started big and ended low, then maybe the opening lull of June will rise as the big hits of the summer start to arrive. It does look like a good time will be had by Spy; the Melissa McCarthy-starring, Paul Feig-directed action comedy is winning critics and audiences alike, opening with an estimated $30 million (though not releasing its costs as of yet). San Andreas slid to second with an es...[Read More]

New Terminator Genisys Clip Highlights T-1000
A newly released clip from the upcoming Terminator Genisys provides an extended look at the film’s version of the T-1000. The sequence definitely echoes The Terminator (1984) and Terminator 2: Judgement Day (1991), which looks fantastic, my only concern will be trying to keep all of the time paradoxes straight. As you probably already know, the film, directed by Alan Taylor, follows a plot s...[Read More]

Box Office Weekend: San Andreas Shakes Up Weekend Box Office
May started with a bang, but ends on a whimper. After Avengers: Age of Ultron started things off with a massive weekend, only San Andreas rode high to finish things off with an estimated $53.2 million at the box office this past weekend, while little else made much headway. Not to say overall that there were no successful films. Pitch Perfect 2, in second, made only an estimated $14.4 million, but...[Read More]

Every generation needs a voice, and Universal Pictures is hoping that this particular voice can bridge the generation gap. Jem and the Holograms – Jem, Kimber, Aja, and Shana – are back in a new film called simply Jem and the Holograms. The new trailer has been released and it looks like it could be a fairly entertaining interpretation of the animated series. But, judge for yourself. ABOUT THE FIL...[Read More]
The Best B-Movies of the 21st Century
The constant big-budget movie releases with their A-list stars, state of the art technology, and expensive advertising campaigns can make it easy to forget that most of the movie industry just doesn’t have that kind of money. Most filmmakers are working with limited resources, yet producing films that are in many cases better than those big money movies. Other filmmakers work with even less, produ...[Read More]
