We’ve got another loaded weekend at the theater. You’d almost think we’re out of the winter doldrums and into the good stuff, with theaters following the seasonal lead started by the weather, which has been ridiculously moderate here (except for the single snowfall that made us miss a podcast this week). Not only do we have a wide variety of movies, but we have a variety of takes on those... 

Part of looking at movies does involve the business side of show business. We try to have a little fun with it, as each week Tim makes his predictions as to how movies will perform at the Box Office. Then, on Sundays, we look at how Tim’s predictions fared. We didn’t get predictions from Tim this week, but I doubt he would have foreseen this. The weekend went not to a new release, and not to... 

Nicolas Cage is an enigma. Whether it be his choice of wigs or his choice of body tattoos, Cage has turned the heads of many a person, but nothing speaks louder about his antics than his film roles. Due to his versatile filmography, Cage’s roles have garnered a wide range of responses, from acclaim to snide remarks to Internet meme infamy.  Yet, among younger audiences, the consensus still tends... 

Hope you had a good Valentine’s Day and are ready for a busy weekend at the theater. With a romantic comedy, an action sequel, and an animated story, this weekend has something for everyone, although I’m not confident that all three movies are actually any good. First up is the sequel nobody really wanted: Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance. I know I saw Ghost Rider in theaters and possibly... 

A few years ago, a new tradition was born with Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: take iconic literature and alter it to introduce contemporary supernatural threats. The idea was duplicated a few times with little to no success… until someone decided that instead of revising classic literature the next real step was to revise history. Thus Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter was born – a retelling... 

Somehow it has worked out that I have yet to see a Bourne movie. I know I want to see them and the trailers have all intrigued me. It’s just happened that I haven’t seen one and I feel like it’s a series I need to start from the beginning, so with each movie that has come out, I’ve wound up farther and farther behind with the franchise. If I don’t fix that soon, it looks like the fourth film... 

Part of looking at movies does involve the business side of show business. We try to have a little fun with it, as each week Tim makes his predictions as to how movies will perform at the Box Office. Then, on Sundays, we look at how Tim’s predictions fared. Well, we’ve hit a new low. While Tim managed to pick the top five for the week, he was way off on the order and nowhere close to the record... 

You’ve heard Tim make his weekly predictions on our podcast, guessing how the box office numbers are going to play out as we discuss each week’s estimates. Now we’re putting them down in text just to see how good Tim’s track record winds up. Tune in each week as we compare Tim’s predictions against the actual numbers from the box office weekend, as Tim takes on the Box Office. The 3D presentation... 

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, a little boy fell in love with the movies. As the long shape of a Star Destroyer chased after a rebel vessel, as a Dark Lord of the Sith threatened underlings by choking them with an invisible Force, and as that same Force led the good guys to triumph against insurmountable odds and a moon-sized planet destroyer, a destiny was forged. The first movie I can... 

We have a slew of new movies coming out this week, so let’s not waste any time with long introductions. The release I’m most interested in is the 3D presentation of Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace. It’s a re-release in 3D, which has been hit or miss for other studios. Disney found great success with 3D for The Lion King, but less for Beauty and the Beast. This is...
