Movie Review: ‘That’s My Boy’ Starring Adam Sandler, Andy Samberg, Leighton Meester

Posted: June 15, 2012 at 9:42 am   /   Featured, Local, Movie Reviews

There has never been an Adam Sandler film I have ever been excited about.  I caught Happy Gilmore on HBO when I was younger, but that is the extent of my toleration of his films.  This is very important to note because if you are a fan of his brand of comedy and have liked […]

Scorcese, DiCaprio, Dujardin Team Up For Drama ‘The Wolf of Wall Street’

Posted: June 14, 2012 at 4:57 pm   /   Local, Movie News

The director of my favorite film of last year is reuniting with my favorite actor of the last decade and is being joined by one of the most charismatic actors to break out in recent years. Let me rewrite that so it may be a little more clear for some people. Martin Scorsese, director of […]

Blu-Ray Review – “Superman vs. The Elite”

Posted: June 13, 2012 at 1:54 pm   /   DVD/Blu-Ray Reviews, Local

I will continue to praise the work by Bruce Timm and everyone else involved in the DC Universe Animated Films.  While I do not love all of the films, some of them are pretty spectacular including “Wonder Woman”, “Justice League: A New Frontier”, and “Batman: Under the Red Hood”.  I am not a huge Superman […]

Movie Review: ‘Moonrise Kingdom’ Starring Edward Norton, Bill Murray, Bruce Willis

Posted: June 8, 2012 at 12:01 am   /   Featured, Local, Movie Reviews

Bottle Rocket. Rushmore. The Royal Tenenbaums. The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou. The Darjeeling Limited. Fantastic Mr. Fox. Writer and director Wes Anderson has made a series of films that are every bit his own.  In watching any of these films, it’s easy to see Anderson’s hand crafting the scenes and dialogue.  As a result, […]

DC Moving Forward With ‘Justice League’ and ‘Wonder Woman’ Films

Posted: June 6, 2012 at 10:52 am   /   Local, Movie News

The Avengers has dominated everything.  Domestic box office numbers.  Global box office numbers.  Superhero films.  Every film except for Titanic and Avatar.  Of course this is good news for superhero genre fans like myself.  I love costumed heroes with superpowers, and the success of The Avengers will result in studios wanting to cash in on […]

Blu-Ray Releases of the Week – ‘John Carter,’ ‘Journey 2: The Mysterious Island,’ ‘Safe House’ and More

Posted: June 5, 2012 at 9:58 am   /   DVD News, Local

Lots of movies hitting store shelves today, and in my opinion, lots of movies that would be good rentals rather than a good addition to your at home collection.  You may disagree.  I know a couple of people headed out to pick up the first sci-fi epic on the list today, and others may just […]

Snow White Makes More Than Expected As It Takes The Top Spot At The Box Office

Posted: June 3, 2012 at 5:14 pm   /   Film, Local, Movie News

1.) Snow White and the Huntsman…..$56,255,00 2.) MIB 3……$29,300,000 3.) The Avengers…..$20,273,000 4.) Battleship…..$4,810,000 5.) The Dictator…..$4,725,000 I think everyone would have predicted “Snow White and the Huntsman” to take the top spot this weekend, but it made quite a bit more than was anticipated.  The studio was predicting around $40 million opening weekend.  Universal […]

Who Warner Brothers Wanted The Villain To Be In ‘The Dark Knight Rises’

Posted: June 1, 2012 at 10:51 pm   /   Local, Movie News

“It’s gonna be the Riddler, and we want Leonardo DiCaprio to play him.” This is what screenwriter David Goyer recently told Empire Magazine about what the studio told him.  I don’t think this will shock all that many people.  Obviously the studio would want a big name villain for the finale of Nolan’s Batman trilogy.

Release Date Shuffle: X-Men, Planet of the Apes, Robopocalypse, Lone Ranger and Thor 2

Posted: May 31, 2012 at 6:35 pm   /   Film, Local, Movie News

We already saw a big shift in the last two weeks when Paramount announced a month before release that “GI Joe: Retaliation” would be postponed nine months until March 2013.  Check out Blake’s thoughts here.  I think that is a special exception though, due to these films being so far from their intended release dates […]

Brand New Trailer For ‘The Bourne Legacy’ Starring Jeremy Renner

Posted: May 31, 2012 at 5:05 pm   /   Local, Movie Trailers

I am going to make a bold statement.  I am comfortable enough in my manhood to say this.  I have a huge man-crush on Jeremy Renner.  It’s out there, and now I can’t take it back.  The man is just a complete badass, and I want to just sit in a bar, watch any sporting […]
