Flick Face-Off: Get Smart vs the Love Guru
For the weekend of 6/20/08 - Two big comedies going head to head on a summer weekend… this is something that most studios don’t dare try. Let’s just say it doesn’t bode well for the studios when moviegoers have to make a choice between 2 comedies. And as much as I love [...]

Flick Face-Off: Incredible Hulk vs the Happening
For the weekend of 6/13/08 -I have a pretty good feeling that this week will be easy to call. Just look at the picture. Who looks more scared to you? Of course, both of these movies are coming off past defeats. The last Hulk movie is widely reviled by fans [...]

DC’s Trinity starts strong
DC Comics constantly frustrates me. DC probably has the most recognizable and iconic superhero characters in the world — Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash, Green Lantern, etc. — but they’re written as untouchable gods. We’re rarely given an opportunity to relate to DC’s biggest characters. It drives me batty. DC’s supergods may be great at [...]
Flick Face-Off: Kung Fu Panda vs Zohan
For the weekend of 6/6/08 - It’s a martial arts match up this week with Jack Black bringing the kung fu as an animated panda versus Adam Sandler’s Israeli martial artist/soldier/hairdresser comedy. While neither are likely to have Indiana Jones level openings, both should keep the box offices busy all weekend. The [...]

Tropic Thunder Cast Goes “Viral”
At last night’s MTV Movie Awards, everyone was hawking their upcoming movies, and no one was hawking harder than Ben Stiller, Jack Black, and Robert Downey Jr. In an attempt to piggyback on the success of his co-stars’ summer blockbusters, director Ben Stiller decides to go “viral” with their marketing.
