You’re gonna love “Ted” if Seth MacFarlane’s particular brand of potty-humor still has you doubled over in laughing fits every Sunday. Even if you’re over the “Family Guy” format, there are a few moments that achieve comedy greatness if you’re willing to endure a lot of fifth-grade level material. Like a child desperately clinging to […]

1. The Dark Knight Rises – $162 million [debut week] File this under least surprising movie news of the year. Christopher Nolan’s final spin on the Batman mythos easily captured the #1 slot this week so the Colorado shooting seemed to have a minimal impact nationwide. The film pulled in $30.6 million on Friday midnight […]

Taking a look at one of my favorite guaranteed to get me out of a crappy mood and crying from laughter comedies. Everyone from Halle Berry to your oddball, smelly cousin has been dumped, which makes “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” so easy to relate to, but it’s the film’s unpredictable nature, great characters and hilarious script […]

Ted – I definitely didn’t like this as much as some folks, but Seth McFarlane’s first-live action film proved to be a MAJOR hit and dethroned “The Hangover” as the highest-grossing comedy film of all time. It has its moments, but MacFarlane settles all too often for the cheap and easy joke with the rare, […]

In 2012, vampires were clearly the featured movie monster of choice. There was a little bit of everything for fans of the bloodsuckers from straight-up action films like “Underworld Awakening” featuring Kate Beckinsale; nostalgia with Johnny Depp’s “Dark Shadows,” a throwback of the cult 1966 TV show. Even families got to get in on the […]

I love when studios get creative in hyping their films and this Disney effort makes perfect sense and goes beyond the standard flood the TV and movie theaters reminded people their next movie is out. Disney is hosting a “Journey to Oz Balloon Tour,” sponsored by leading multichannel retailer HSN and IMAX Corporation, in support […]

The true wizard in “Oz the Great and Powerful” is Director Sam Raimi for proving to be more than up to the task of crafting a prequel to “The Wizard of Oz” with a dazzling, magical effort that proves a worthy companion piece to one of the most beloved films of all time. Raimi deserves […]

Rihanna couldn’t find love. Beyonce has to watch the throne. Megan was out-Foxed and Scarlett Johannson will have to avenge her ranking this year as FHM announced that Mila Kunis is the 2013 Sexiest Woman in the World. That’s a pretty bold claim, no? But it’s not all that hard to see why Kunis was […]

Scarlett Johansson has been named Esquire’s 2013 Sexiest Woman Alive. I know, I know.

Johansson is currently showcasing her acting talents and undeniable sex appeal in “Don Jon.” Interestingly, Johansson won […]

“Jupiter Ascending,” one of the rare oddities for the 2014 summer blockbuster season – an original film that was neither a sequel or a comic book related adventure, starring Channing Tatum, Mila Kunis and Eddie Redmayne, has been delayed to February 2015. Warner Bros. attributed the delay to the need to finish major special effects […]

What a beautiful mess. That perfectly sums up “Jupiter Ascending,” the latest disaster spectacle from The Wachowskis who I’m convinced would have been better suited for the silent film era where annoyances like plot and a comprehensive script wouldn’t be nearly as problematic. We get both good Wachowskis and bad Wachowskis here. They create a […]
