With all the excitement surrounding THE HUNGER GAMES over the weekend, it seems the other big franchise for Lionsgate/Summit was almost forgotten. Almost. But you know fans won’t forget about Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart for long and if Summit has proven one thing, they know how to market a movie and so that’s why [...]

After all the hoopla surrounding Tom Crusie and the fourth Mission Impossible film, it turns out the film is now the most successful Mission Impossible movie to date, already bringing in a whopping $571 million worldwide, beating out MISSION IMPOSSIBLE 2′s $546.2 million. True, the fourth film was helped by higher IMAX prices, but it’s [...]

One of the more fun movies of last year was the grand return of THE MUPPETS to the big screen, courtesy of writer and actor Jason Segel. It was hard not to stop smiling through the duration of the film and it was one that I will definitely be picking up on Blu-ray when it [...]

For those that haven’t been following the business news of the movie business lately, then the big news of the past week was that Lionsgate bought Summit for $412 million. Summit has had a string of big movies, but none of them are bigger than the Twilight franchise, which now belongs to Lionsgate. Not that [...]

Although I originally passed off IMMORTALS as a ploy for the studio to capitalize on Henry Cavill’s announcement as Superman in the upcoming MAN OF STEEL, it turned out to be a stylish, eye-pleasing film that actually had a bit of heart. It’s also the kind of movie that’s perfect for that big screen TV [...]

Not many things get fans riled up like a little bit of Twilight news. So all of you Twi-hards out there will be happy to learn that THE TWILIGHT SAGA: BREAKING DAWN PART 1 is hitting Blu-ray and DVD on February 11th. 2012 is a sad year for the Twilight fans as this marks the [...]

Posted by: Brad Sturdivant It’s hard to pinpoint exactly why THE RUM DIARY didn’t do well at the box office, but a lot of the blame has to go on Sony, who seemed to market the film as more of an afterthought than anything. The trailers were confusing and the TV spots tried to make [...]

Posted by: Brad Sturdivant Hollywood executives still seem to be puzzled by the lackluster box office takes the past several months, but the average moviegoer knows that as long as Hollywood keeps churning out drivel like NEW YEAR’S EVE, the box office numbers are going to be disappointing. But even though it was a shameless [...]

Posted by: Brad Sturdivant Although I’ve thoroughly enjoyed all three of the Mission Impossible films, one of the valid complaints I’ve heard about them is that they’re too much of a one man show. After all, there are more people in the IMF than just Ethan Hunt. But director Brad Bird seems like he’s going [...]

Posted by: Brad Sturdivant Although a good film, THE IDES OF MARCH wasn’t the great film that everyone was hoping it was going to be. It had fabulous performances from Ryan Gosling, George Clooney, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Evan Rachel Wood and Paul Giamatti, but the script just wasn’t powerful enough to take it where it [...]

Posted by: Brad Sturdivant All of the Twilight films have been critical failures, but is it just me, or is THE TWILIGHT SAGA: BREAKING DAWN PART 1 receiving some even harsher reviews than its predecessors? Of course, critical success and box office success usually don’t have any correlation and it’s true again with the case [...]

Posted by: Brad Sturdivant Most of what we’ve seen so far from David Fincher’s THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO has focused heavily on the story and Daniel Craig, with Rooney Mara’s Lisbeth Salander in almost a supporting role. But the new 1-minute TV spot is all about our favorite Goth-hacker and if you had [...]

Posted by: Brad Sturdivant I don’t typically post TV spots since they’re usually less than 30 seconds long and don’t do much for me. But in the case of THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO, I just can’t get enough, so I have to post two new TV spots that started airing last week. There’s [...]

Posted by: Brad Sturdivant We have less than two months before we find out if David Fincher’s English language remake of THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO is as good as we all think/hope it’s going to be.

Posted by: Brad Sturdivant I figure if you put together the trailers, TV spots and movie clips, we’ve probably seen about 11 minutes of THE TWILIGHT SAGA: BREAKING DAWN PART1 already. So at this pace, Summit only has to release another 110 1-minute clips from the film and we can probably splice together the whole [...]

Posted by: Brad Sturdivant I’ve given the Twilight movies a hard time over the years, but I have to hand it to Summit Entertainment for marketing the last two films a little differently and trying to stay away from the sappy, teenage angst angles. Eclipse had some decent moments and it looks like Breaking Dawn [...]

Posted by: Brad Sturdivant I’m actually surprised no studio has mimicked Disney’s practice of releasing films for a limited time and then putting them in a “vault”. It’s a practice that has served Disney well as they create an urgency in their customers to buy their product and then excitement when they finally bring something [...]

Posted by: Brad Sturdivant SHERLOCK HOLMES: A GAME OF SHADOWS doesn’t come out for another month and a half, but that’s not going to stop Warner Bros. from hiring a writer for the third Sherlock Holmes film.

When the concept of HORRIBLE BOSSES was first announced I had mixed feelings. On one hand I thought it was a great idea that, if done correctly, could end up being one of the better comedies out there. However, if it wasn’t in the hands of the right people it could end up being worse [...]
