Weekend Box Office: Minions vs. Cowboys and Indians (‘Despicable Me 2’ vs ‘The Lone Ranger’)

6 Comedy Western Movies, In Honor of ‘The Lone Ranger’ Starring Johnny Depp, Armie Hammer
This week The Lone Ranger stampedes (see what I did there) into theaters. Johnny Depp and director Gore Verbinski hope to recapture the magic of their Pirates of the Caribbean franchise.

First Look: “The Lone Ranger” Starring Johnny Depp and Armie Hammer
“The Lone Ranger” has been through a lot in recent years. The project has been in the works as far back as March 2002. Then it sat in development hell until Jerry Bruckheimer set it up at Disney in 2007. I would have figured the project would be put on the fast track given how […]
