‘Star Trek’ Fails to Meet Hype
By: Matt Conway - The summer movie season is in full effect, and so has had overall solid performance from numerous films. This week, it continued with Star Trek Into Darkness, but not quite as well as it should have. Star Trek Into Darkness opened in first with a 70.5 million dollar gross over the weekend, and a 84 million
New DVD Releases: May 21st
By: Henry J. Fromage – A lot of the early year underwhelmers are hitting DVD this week, although there’s a prime pick or two in there if you cotton to our reviewers’ opinions on the matter. In non broad release action, the titles that jumped out to me were Enzo G. Castellari’s Cold Eyes of
Don’t Know Oscar Isaac? You will.
By: Henry J. Fromage – The Beach Boys are popping up in a few projects lately, but none more interesting than Love & Mercy. The film was scripted by Oren Moverman of The Messenger fame and directed by Bill Pohlad, who has produced several large-scale films like The Tree of Life, but doesn’t have much
Come Get Your Obscure Jokes He-ah!
By: Henry J. Fromage – Well, that got moving fast. Paul Thomas Anderson, who’s never in too much of a hurry to pump out movies, it seems, is already nearly done casting up his next, Inherent Vice. We’ve already mentioned that muse Joaquin Phoenix will take Robert Downey, Jr.’s place as pot fiend private eye
The End of Surprises
By: Chris Sheridan - We’re finally at the point where everything exists. We will never be surprised at a movie again, because the last possible combination of things is about to come to fruition. We’re going to be getting Bollywood treatments of The Expendables, 16 Blocks, and other action movies. You can imagine the potential of these
New DVD Releases: May 14th
By: Henry J. Fromage – Two of the three prime releases hitting DVD are inarguable original and ambitious, even if the results are mixed. The other is a cheapo franchise cash-in. I’ll let you guess which is which. Cloud Atlas- This seemingly unfilmable novel adaptation made several of our MovieBoozer Staff Top 10 Lists
‘Iron Man 3′ edges ‘Gatsby’s’ Great Debut
By: Matt Conway - As predicted, this week was by far one of the more interesting weekends of the box office year so far, with two intriguing movies entering the fray. What wasn’t predicted was how well one of the films would perform, and how much the other would completely bomb at the box office. Being the constant among the bunch was Iron Man 3 staying at
Reese is Doing Just Fine and I’ve Already Forgotten Who Luke Evans Is
By: Henry J. Fromage – Reese Witherspoon’s been getting so much press lately somebody with a tinfoil hat on may even start whispering about her recent arrest. It seems like ever since then, she’s been landing roles left and right. First was Passengers, the sci-fi script that originally landed Jon Spaihts his Prometheus writing gig.
James Franco is Cooler Than You
By: Henry J. Fromage – Well, I think it’s safe to say we won’t have to wait another eight years for another Shane Black flick, and it’s increasingly looking likely he’ll be returning to the slightly fantastical with his long-brewing project Doc Savage. Sony’s been holding onto the (self-authored) script for him even before Iron
MovieBoozer: LAYWER EDITION
By: Chris Sheridan - It’s MovieBoozer LAWYER EDITION!!!!! Our first story takes us straight through the asshole of Hollywood and right to the palm slapped firmly against my head, because this story is a hilariously idiotic misuse of the great American justice system. Remember how legitimately cool G.I. Joe: Retaliation was, partly because it didn’t continue those
