2011-07-21 01:41:57 Author: Josh Tyler When you see Captain America: The First Avenger this weekend the biggest decision you’ll face at the box office isn’t when to see it, but how to see it. Like nearly ever big blockbuster set to be released from now on through 2013, Cap’s first adventure is being released on both higher-priced 3D and more budget-friendly 2D screens. We’re here to help you decide which version to see. Our “To 3D or Not to 3D” series does not review the relative merits of a movie like Cap as a piece art or entertainment. If you’re interested…

Harry Potter: Respects 2 destruction twilight box office fatally, greatest one working day

2011-07-16 13:25:38 Author: Josh Tyler The Harry Potter movies have, of course, always done really well at the box office. Cumulatively the franchise has made more money than any other movie franchise in history, but individually… they’ve never been record breakers. The Harry Potter films usually end up as the second or third highest grossing movie of the year, they usually end up near the top but not quite at the top of all the big box office charts. Not this time. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2 isn’t just breaking records, it’s breaking every record. It already holds the…

Holiday weekend box office: Torch light Tranformers top Sparkless four

2011-07-04 21:06:23 Author: Scott Gwin Movies? On the fourth of July? When there are burgers to be grilled, ice cold beverages to be enjoyed, and fireworks to be set off and watched? The fact that the holiday falls on a Monday helped boost sales a bit on this Independence Day, but overall sales were still only slightly bumped up from usual summer weekday numbers. While Transformers: Dark of The Moon broke the record for biggest Independence Day opening, overall numbers for the holiday weekend were sluggish compared to recent past. Compare last year’s four-day Independence Day weekend totals where the top…

Before Justin forest For Sci-Fi Director crime terror fast and angry auxiliary Reteaming

2011-06-04 17:25:42 Author: Mack Rawden Yesterday, I wrote a story on Evel Knievel. Before he was the legendary daredevil, Robert Craig Knievel sold insurance, and he was damn good at it. In fact, within the first few months, he emerged as the leading salesman in the company. He demanded to be promoted to vice president. When he wasn’t, he quit and single-handedly forged his own legacy in another career. That’s one way to make it. The other way is by staying put and paying your dues. It might not be as glamorous, but the end result can be just as satisfying…

John Malkovich wins the Munich film festival CineMerit prize

published: 2011-05-27 19:25:14 On June 27th in Cologne, Germany Malkovich will be receiving the CineMerit award from the Munich International Film Festival. In the words of the Munich Festival Director, Andreas Strohl, he says: “John Malkovich is in a class of his own. His unpredictable presence makes everyone (of his films) worth seeing.” Absolutely true. Every movie he’s in acquires a power of raw energy and harmony from him that is easily grasped by the audience. Even when he’s playing himself, the man doesn’t fail. His best role was undoubtedly in Being John Malkovich where he plays himself playing, himself. Not…

Wristwatch James Cameron and the Michael bay discusses the 3D abuse and the moral excellence

2011-05-20 18:12:17 Author: Eric Eisenberg As mentioned earlier this week when recapping the opening scenes from Transformers: Dark of the Moon , this past Wednesday I was invited to attend an event at Paramount Pictures where blockbuster directors Michael Bay and James Cameron sat down to have a moderated discussion about one of the most controversial subjects in movies today: 3D. In that same article I mentioned that video of the conversation would be available on Friday, and if you check you calendars, you’ll notice that that’s today. While the conversation – minus the footage shown – was about 30 minutes long, Paramount has released a…

Star is the track: Following shooting in September?

2011-05-02 17:04:12 Author: Josh Tyler Paramount Pictures has had a good run over the past few years, with Transformers , Star Trek and all the Marvel films. But after Thor all the upcoming Marvel superhero movies are going to Disney, and that’s going to leave a big hole in their slate of summer blockbusters. Hey, maybe someone should get moving and actually work on getting around to that second Star Trek ? The Trek team has been pretty slow to get going on this thing but now, maybe in part because of a little urgency for Paramount, we’re starting to see movement on…

Transformers: The darkness of the image of moon gives to us another view on the shock wave

2011-04-25 16:41:13 Author: Eric Eisenberg As announced last week, the first theatrical trailer for Transformers: Dark of the Moon will be released this week. To celebrate the run-up to the extended spot, Paramount has teamed up with Apple to deliver one new Transformers still a day. Today we get still number one. Delivering our second look at the character, the image provided is another shot of Shockwave, a Decepticon making his debut in the series’ second sequel. While the picture does show off the bad guy’s single eyeball, the character’s other most distinctive feature is sadly cut off: the giant laser…
