Ghostbusters debuts at #2
It looks like those negative pre-release comments about the film may have taken a toll. The all-female reboot took second place at the box office behind The Secret Life of Pets (which is in its second week).
Did anyone here see it this weekend? Any wild and unfounded theories you want to throw out? Are the Hollywood bean counters right and female-led movies just don’t gross as much money? Or were audiences just not willing to put any money down to see a reboot of a beloved classic? Or a little of both?
Blade 2: Silver Screen Superheroes
Alex Case continues to fill in for me with his coverage of Blade 2.
Movie Review: Son of Batman
This week we have a review of another DC Animated film – this time adapting the arc that introduced Batman’s son Damien.
Summer Weekend Review: The Ghost of Dragstrip Hollow
The Legend of Tarzan opened this weekend to very mixed reviews. I’m sure I’ll catch it sometime, but really, what’s the point of revisiting Tarzan yet again? This is the weekend to be swinging free in the real world, with American Independence Day, Canada Day, and many a Pride Festival and EDM event all happening. You’ve also got Cons in Washington, DC (Escape Velocity), Miami (Supercon), Baltimore (Counterpoint), and Portland (Westercon).
But we must have a Summer Weekend Review, and so, hipsters, flipsters, and finger-poppin’ daddies, lend a lobe and dig this gig from 1959.
Weekend Review: Predestination
This Weekend Review takes us back in time a couple years to 2014, when Heinlein’s most notorious time-travel tale made it to the big screen.
Blade: Silver Screen Superheroes
Alex Case continues to fill in for Blaine with his coverage of Blade.
Weekend Review: The Conjuring
With The Conjuring 2 out this weekend, we thought we’d finally catch up to the original movie. It proved hugely successful with the horror-movie crowd, and convinced a few people that haunted homes are real, and may be lurking in your neighborhood.
If you missed it the first time around, should you see it now? Or next October?
Movie Review: Warcraft
Also known as Warcraft: The Beginning, this film based on Blizzard’s phenomenally popular MMORPG which used to be an RTS series is extremely pretty but suffers from an incoherent plot and an uncontrolled urge to be spectacular at the expense of just about everything else.
Movie Review: X-Men: Apocalypse
Following the past events of X-Men: Days of Future Past, it’s now the 1980s. Things seem to have been reasonably quiet since Magneto’s attack on the President, but that’s all about to change when the world’s first mutant wakes up.
I’ve tried to be vague, but there may be some spoilers within.
