On Thursday this week, some shocking news rolled out. That news was the Brocolli Family have relinquished creative control of the James Bond franchise to Amazon MGM. I can’t even begin to pretend this is good news. While not all the Bond films were great (looking at you Die Another Day), there was a consistency…

I’ve been off from reviewing for a few weeks. I had a Florida trip that was taking my attention. That intersected my adventure with COVID, which ended this past week. Now, I’m back on my normal routine, just in time for me to get in Oscars mode. More on that next week. On to the…

Welp, my Golden Globes picks were pretty awful this year. After going 11-4 last year, I went 6-9 this time. 4 of those incorrect guesses can be attributed to the voters not liking Anora as much as I thought they would. That film ended up with no wins. There were a couple surprises at least…

This week, Sony Pictures CEO Tony Vinciquerra made some interesting comments regarding the studio’s Spider-Man-less Spider-Man films. He contends that the reason those movies were failures because the critics killed them. Those comments are laughable to me when it comes to Madame Web. “Let’s just touch on ‘Madame Web’ for a moment. “Madame Web’ underperformed…

Over on the Box Office Madness page, there is something kind of depressing going on. With us now being three weeks into the Winter season, we only have 2 movies (Sonic3 and Mufasa this past weekend) that have grossed more than $20 million dollars. More sadly, only 4 have crossed the $10 million mark. The…

This week marks the one year mark since I started this venture, and it has been a fun year of learning and growing for me. This next year should be more of the same, but I was given a couple suggestions of things to do, so I will have a couple new kinds of post…

To start this week, a story. On Tuesday, I saw Get Away had a showing in Ann Arbor this past weekend. That’s about 20 miles from where I live, so not that bad. Right before I went to buy a ticket for it at the Cinemark there, i happened to check the AMC app to…

By now, we have all seen or heard that AMC puts up signs asking people to refrain from singing while watching Wicked. We all got a laugh out of this, and time rolled on. Now, during Moana 2’s UK premier, Dwyane Johnson had to enter the fray. “You’ve paid your hard-earned money for a ticket,…

We have finally reached “Glicked” weekend. Last Summer, we all survived through the “Barbenheimer” storm and lived to tell about it. Those two films (Barbie and Oppenheimer if you are just coming out of a coma) ended up grossing $966.1 million dollars domestically, and $2.4 billion worldwide. Justr staggering figures. Since then, and because Hollywood…
