For the first time in all of my years of doing this, I’m not incredibly thrilled with my end of the year list. As usual, there are movies appearing on other people’s lists that I haven’t gotten to see, and unfortunate timing means I won’t be seeing them for another couple of weeks at the best. Rather than hold out on my “Best of” list for 2011 until the point that... 

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.

People coming to see The Debt for Mirren won’t be disappointed, but they will discover she... 

I’ve been misspeaking this week as I’ve said the summer season is over with and we’re moving into fall. Technically, this weekend should still count as summer. It is, after all, Labor Day weekend – an extended holiday weekend for catching movies, with one of this week’s offerings even opening early.
