Hollywood's 3D reissue craze might be slowing down a bit in the wake of underwhelming returns for releases like 'Finding Nemo 3D,' but it hasn't stopped entirely. In fact, this fall, Warner Bros. will celebrate the 75th birthday of 'The Wizard of Oz' by sending a newly restored print to theaters for a special one-week run in IMAX 3D.

Everyone’s favorite miserable cat is finally getting her own movie. No, not Garfield. There have been two Garfield movies already. Where have you been? But it has been announced that Tard herself, aka Grumpy Cat, is the inspiration for a ‘Garfield’-like live-action movie. On the bright side, Tard will have a “speaking role” in the movie. [...]

See the Faces Behind Disney's Greatest Villains

Kristy Puchko — Thu, 02 May 2013 13:55:56 +0000

As children we were all terrified by Disney's villains. Their evil cackles rattled our still-developing brains, and haunted our nightmares along with their songs, which gleefully reveled in their bad intentions and malevolent plots. Yet looking back, these vicious villains are a beloved part of our childhood, from their cruelly pointed toes to their audacious hairdos.

The Week's Biggest Movies!

Josh — Mon, 25 Mar 2013 09:29:06 +0000

I can’t tell you when the last time I saw a movie in a theater was. I usually rent well after the movie was up on the big screen. For instance, this weekend I rented “Safe House” …great movie, by the way. If you happened to use your weekend time to see a flick, maybe [...]

We can’t even win off the field! The Buffalo Bills or the Cleveland Browns? Every other team was eliminated to be the feature team of a huge blockbuster hit. Today it was reported that the Cleveland Browns will ‘star’ in the new Kevin Costner movie titled "Draft Day". Costner will be playing the role of the General Manager of the Cleveland Browns in the upcoming movie. It was down to just Buffalo or Cleveland and the Bills got the boot.

Jacob Hall — Mon, 28 Jan 2013 11:42:41 +0000

Make no mistake: this was a slow and bad weekend at the box office, an example of the January doldrums at their absolute worst. However, this was probably the only environment where a film titled 'Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters' could have flourished, so at least someone is happy.

Good Date Night Movies For Both Guys and Girls

Brett Alan — Tue, 15 Jan 2013 20:33:31 +0000

If you're like me, you probably like to watch movies with your significant other. The problem comes when you have to pick which movie to watch. Although I know it's not always the case, most guys stereotypically like to watch action/horror types of movies while most girls stereotypically like to watch the "chick flicks". So the hard part is to find a happy medium. Here are a list of movies that I think both guys and girls might enjoy:

Megan Pacella — Wed, 26 Dec 2012 16:30:12 +0000

Jason Aldean loves singing country music, but that isn’t stopping him from thinking of other careers that he might enjoy. Of course he isn’t going to hang up his cowboy hat anytime soon, but he is interested in trying his hand at acting. “I may dabble in some things here and there. Movies or whatever [...]

Jacob Hall — Mon, 05 Nov 2012 11:21:24 +0000

Whoever first pitched 'Wreck-It Ralph' certainly got a nice big bonus check from Disney today. A cute hook that appeals to adults and kids + positive reviews = one of the biggest openings in weeks. And hey! 'Flight' didn't do too shabby either! Wait...are this good box office numbers? Does this mean the holiday movie season has officially arrived? Yes. Yes it has.

Weekend Box Office Report: 'Expendables 2′ VS 'The Bourne Legacy'

Jacob Hall — Mon, 20 Aug 2012 09:30:54 +0000

Although they differ in style and tone in every way imaginable, ‘The Expendables 2‘ and ‘The Bourne Legacy‘ are both action movies and they share the same audience (people who like watching people beat up other people). The slick, modern ‘The Bourne Legacy’ was last week’s box office champion, so everyone was wondering if its success would cut into the opening of the brawny, ’80s throwback that is ‘The Expendables 2.’ Or vice versa. Well, the numbers are in…

Weekend Box Office Report: 'Amazing Spider-Man' Lives Up to its Title

Jacob Hall — Mon, 09 Jul 2012 09:32:19 +0000

With the exception of poor Katy Perry, everyone was a winner at the box office this week. Seriously. Of the top ten films, nine of them either opened well or held well, making this one of the most consistent weekends of the summer season. Filmmakers and studios: pat yourselves on the backs. You’ve earned this one.

Weekend Box Office Report: 'Madagascar 3′ and 'Prometheus' Remain Supreme

Jacob Hall — Mon, 18 Jun 2012 09:31:30 +0000

For those of us who follow the box office, this weekend was a case of deja vu. Once again, ‘Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted‘ headlined the top ten and once again, ‘Prometheus‘ snatched the number two spot. Both films managed to keep their momentum despite the opening of two new releases starring two of the biggest movie stars in the world. That’s good news if you’re ‘Madagascar 3′ or ‘Prometheus,’ but pretty bad news if you’re Tom Cruise or Adam Sandler.

Retro-Movie Tuesday Arrives At The Transit Drive-In

Brett Alan — Wed, 30 May 2012 00:38:37 +0000

I've had some of the best times of my life at drive-ins. When we were little we would all pile into the back of the truck loaded with blankets and snacks and sit outside and watch movies. We watched everything from Goonies to Gremlins and E.T. on the big screen. And now you're going to be able to relive some of those moments at The Transit Drive-In.

Josh's Three Funny Movies To See This Summer [VIDEOS] [NSFW]

Josh — Wed, 16 May 2012 09:37:43 +0000

I have to admit, with the price of going to the movies these days, I rarely do! I usually choose to spend the bucks on a fun night out, capped off with a little dinner. When I do find a movie worthy of going to, I'll go! These 3 movies that I'm recommending are only based on what I've seen in the movie trailers and the buzz I hear about some of them. At first, I was really excited about "The Dictator", but the more and more I see of it, it just looks like " Borat" part 2. I probably won't go to the movies to see it, but I surely will rent it. Either way, I'm.....
