118: ‘The Visit’ Directed by M. Night Shyamalan
M. Night Shyamalan gives us a low-budget, horror flick with his biggest twist in over a decade…it’s actually a good movie. Or, at least, it doesn’t outright suck. The Visit is weird. It’s quirky. But it (mostly) works. And we’ll explain why. All this plus Joe is imagines naked grandmas where there are none, we […]
111: ‘American Ultra’ Box Office Report (8/21-8/23)
Straight Outta Compton rules the box office for another week. But that won’t stop us from discussing a whole litany of unrelated topics. What major franchise has Joe never seen? What band has the lowest rated Behind The Music ever? And who joined the League of Show Sharers™ this week? All this and more will […]
108: ‘The Man From U.N.C.L.E.’ Box Office Report
Any illusions your parents might have held about gangsta rap being “fringe” entertainment have been dispelled by Straight Outta Compton opening north of $50 million. Which is more than Fantastic Four can say. So join us for an in depth discussion of where America’s money went this weekend. It’s Reel Spoilers 108 – Box Office […]
106: ‘Fantastic Four’ Box Office Report
This week, we change our format ever so slightly. Moving forward we’ll be doing two podcasts a week – one for the box office and one for the movie itself. It allows us to get them to you more quickly and not burden you with a 2-hour podcast. So join us while we tackle the […]
7: ‘2 Guns’ Starring Mark Wahlberg & Denzel Washington
This week on Reel Spoilers our heroes break out their passports, lock and load their hand guns, and head south of the border so we can spoil 2 Guns. Check out Blake’s review of 2 Guns. We’ve made it 7 episodes and they haven’t canceled us yet, so we must be doing something right. Denzel Washington isn’t […]
Movie Review: ‘RED 2’ Starring Bruce Willis, John Malkovich, Helen Mirren, Anthony Hopkins
In 2010 the most unlikely of casts was assembled for the surprisingly entertaining action-comedy RED. Bruce Willis, Morgan Freeman, John Malkovich and Helen Mirren were all labeled “Retired Extremely Dangerous,” and lived up to their designation in the film. It was a winning formula, combining action with a well-known cast of aging not-so-action-heroes. But was it wise for them to come out […]
3: ‘The Lone Ranger’ Starring Johnny Depp, Armie Hammer
Walt Disney Pictures and Jerry Bruckheimer team up once again with Johnny Depp for The Lone Ranger, in an attempt to capture the magic of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. Unfortunately for the $215 million dollar summer blockbuster, lightning didn’t strike twice. The film opened over the five-day holiday weekend with an unimpressive $48.7 […]
How Did ‘Rock of Ages’ and ‘That’s My Boy’ Do Against Last Week’s Top Films At The Box Office?
This week’s two big releases had enough star power to propel them to the top of the box office, but did the word of mouth on previous weeks releases keep them from making money? Rock of Ages had the draw of Tom Cruise, “classic” 80’s music, and a built in audience from the stage show. […]
Snow White Makes More Than Expected As It Takes The Top Spot At The Box Office
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 […]
This Weekend’s Box Office Featuring SCREAM 4, RIO
I have to admit that I did not predict this one correctly. I would have bet almost anyone that the battle for the top spot between the family friendly RIO and the horror franchise SCREAM would have been much closer. I might have even been favoring SCREAM 4 to take the top. This certainly was […]
