Box Office Report: December 22
This week The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies walked away with the top spot at the box office. In a distant second is Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb, and then Annie. Trailing the pack is Exodus: Gods and Kings which appears to be losing any momentum it had in its […]

Box Office Report Dec 15th
This weekend Exodus: Gods and Kings displaced Mockingjay after three consecutive weekends at the top of the list, although the opening numbers for this big budget epic were disappointingly small for the studio. It seems unusual to say a $24 million opening weekend is small, think of it this way; a film studio depends on […]

Box Office Report December 8th
It was the smallest weekend of the year for the box office, and as such from last weekend to this, not much changed. The only new entry in the top ten this weekend was The Pyramid, opening with only $1.3 million. Horrible Bosses 2 picked up a bit, nudging Bit Hero 6 out of 3rd […]
Box Office Report December 1st
In this week’s Box Office Report Mockingjay retains its number one spot over a holiday weekend to arrive at an impressive two week domestic box office total of $225.5 million. This franchise blockbuster is followed up by a scrappy franchise spinoff the Penguins of Madagascar which has pulled in $35.5 million over the long weekend. […]
Horrible Bosses 2 is amusing, but second rate comedy, at best.
Horrible Bosses 2 is not a terrible movie, it is neither is it entirely worthwhile. It is funnier than it deserves to be, and much of that is due to some remarkable chemistry, and first rate delivery of second rate material, and maybe a third rate story. I will gladly admit that this movie got […]
Box Office Report November 24th
Mockingjay (part 1) picked up the number one spot from Dumb and Dumber To, which was demoted to the fourth. Big Hero 6, and Interstellar hung onto the second and third positions. Further down the list Birdman and The Theory of Everything rose to 9th and 10th respectively, being the only films in the top […]
Rosewater is earnestly engaging and profound
Rosewater is among the rare films that leave you feeling both uplifted and devastatingly heartbroken. The truth of the story is unavoidable, you could not hide from the truth this film holds to the light even if you wanted to. It is a film that can drive change by changing the minds of a susceptible […]
Big Hero 6 is an exciting blend of elements for all ages.
Big Hero 6 is a beautiful blending of genera, tones, and cultures in a package that is wildly entertaining. Sure to be a staggering success for Disney and Marvel this film will draw children in droves, and parents are sure to follow along, quite gladly. The film itself handles some fairly dark themes of death […]
Interstellar is epic but riddled with problems
I loved Interstellar, it was beautiful, had thoroughly intriguing story, and even had a satisfactory conclusion. However, I cannot turn a blind eye to some significant problems with the story and direction that I saw. The story problems prevent the movie from being as effective as it could have been, and Christopher Nolan’s direction suffers […]
Box Office Report: November 3rd
