Muppets Most Wanted might be the next Muppets movie since the last
Muppets Most Wanted is not quite as much fun as a room full of ferrets playing Twister, but it is close. If you have never experienced ferrets playing Twister, then Muppets Most Wanted will be a standard unit of measurement for cinematic fun. The film itself harkens back to the days of self-deprecating Muppet glory, with relentlessly […]
My Angst Gland is Divergent and My Ears Hurt.
Imagine if you will a late 1997-television teen-soap opera set in a post war dystopian society, written by Ayn Rand. That is how I would describe Divergent, except it isn’t that good. If this had been produced for television, there would be time to develop characters, and explain this new caste system before the breakneck […]
Coming Soon: Mar 21
Opening this week on screens of silver, and aluminum alloy; Divergent and Muppets Most Wanted while The Grand Budapest Hotel is expanding onto more screens. The LEGO Movie just may have a challenger in Divergent.
Box Office Report: Mar 14-16
This weekend at the Box Office we saw Need for Speed open in third place, coasting through the weekend with a respectable $17.8 million in ticket sales. Mr. Peabody & Sherman defeated 300: Rise of An Empire for the number one position, while 300 held a larger opening and still leads Mr. Peabody in box office […]
Blu-Ray and DVD releases March 18th
Coming to your Blu-Ray and/or DVD collections this week, American Hustle, Saving Mr. Banks, and Frozen. So pick those up, and see what all the fuss was about. I should warn you, if you didn’t see Saving Mr. Banks you will never watch Mary Poppins with the same childish innocence.
Aaron Paul plays down his Need For Speed
Need For Speed is big dumb, expensive, fun, if you are inclined to enjoy watching cars drive fast, recklessly, and crash sometimes, this would be your film. Surprising as it may sound, it also had a fair story, and some pretty entertaining dialogue. Enough so that I, not a car or racing enthusiast, found Need […]
Coming Soon: March 14th
Opening this week in theaters; Need for Speed, and some Tyler Perry abomination. March 14 The Art of the Steal (limited) A third-rate motorcycle daredevil and part-time art thief teams up with his snaky brother to steal one of the most valuable books in the world. Bad Words (limited; expands: March 21; wide: March 28) […]
Box Office Report March 7-9
This week 300: Rise of An Empire makes a strong opening, but can it maintain the momentum of a Grecian army? Mr. Peabody & Sherman opened just under %25 of budget, while Non-Stop, and The Monuments Men just broke even. The LEGO Movie is still building a strong base for a brickwork franchise. While on Frozen has just passed The Dark Knight on the All […]
Coming Soon March 5 – 7th
This week in your local cinema house, or movie theatre; 300: Rise of an Empire will make you squirm if you have a problem with blood. Mr. Peabody & Sherman alter some timelines, and things get fancy at The Grand Budapest Hotel.
300: Rise of an Empire is bloody alright.
300: Rise of an Empire packs more story and blood into 102 minutes than Persians packed into Thermopylae. What is more, they had more CG blood than water in the Adriatic Sea. It was almost comical how much blood they had spraying and pouring from severed limbs, I couldn’t help but wonder where they were […]
GeekDad Report: Here Comes Science
This past X-Mass my family was given a CD, They Might Be Giants: Here Comes Science. Our initial reaction was one of mixed indifference. Truthfully, receiving a physical CD these days feels a bit odd. I haven’t bought one myself for a few years now. It was a happy reminder of my youth, opening that […]
Box Office Report Feb 28-Mar 2
In this weeks Box Office Report; Non-Stop is halfway there, Son of God is livin on a prayer. Frozen breaks a billion and is still going strong. The LEGO movie takes a break from number 1, and apparently no one saw Pompeii because they heard how it ended. Is summer movie season here yet? […]
Blu-Ray/DVD releases March 4-7
This week on DVD and Blu-Ray you will finally be able to watch 12 Years a Slave, Hunger Games: Catching Fire, and Time of The Doctor. Don’t forget to buy a copy for your friends so they will remember to love you. March 04, 2014 • 12 Years a Slave (2013) • A Simple […]
Doctor Who news update
You know me; I can’t go too long without checking up on what is happening with Doctor Who, now I will share with you what I know. The new Doctor is Peter Capaldi. I think we all know this already, but if you didn’t there you go. He is going to be awesome; I’m quite […]
