Week of December 30th – Here We Go Again, Again!
As the calendar flips to a new year, I have changed how things look here for the new year. Notably here in these review posts, I have condensed things down for each review to make things cleaner. More drastically on the Box Office Madness page, I have changed the look on both my charts, as…

Week of December 23rd – The Airing of Grievances
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…

Week of December 16th – A Late Beginning
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…

Week of December 9th – The Merciful End
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…

Week of December 2nd – Like it’s 1999
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…

Week of November 25th – Gobble Gobble
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,…

Week of November 18th – Defying Expectations
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…

Week of November 11th – Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow
Finding a host for the Oscars has become quite the quest in recent years. There are reasons for that. For starters, it’s a lose-lose proposition. You could think you are nailing it, but there will always be a vocal minority to shoot you down. Also, even though I’m in the group that always watches, it’s…

Week of November 4th – A Fall Mixed Bag
We are fully in the 11th month now, and before we get into my ramblings of what I saw this week, I wanted to briefly go over something that will more than likely show its face again in a couple weeks. I want take you back to 2021 when Dune was released. People in the…

Week of October 28th – Tricks and Treats
Little bit of shuffling on the schedule for me. I’m still trying to figure out where to place the Chicago reviews without making these post super long. Two of the 10 were last week, and another three are this week. That leaves 5 left to share my thoughts on. As of now, none of them…
