The Force Awakens passes Avatar in US
Star Wars: The Force Awakens has now passed Avatar’s $760 million on the all-time domestic box office list. In just 20 days. Let’s think about that for just a second. The seventh film in the legendary series was front-loaded to do an amazing amount of business, but most realistic estimates put it on track to do $500 million by the end of the year. But The Force Awakens has maintained a stunning daily hold, with many fans seeing the...
Flick Nation: Home Media Guide – 1/05/16
Sick of the holidays? Good, because the first releases of 2016 aren’t exactly warm and fuzzy. David Spade returns as everyone’s favorite (?) time-traveling mullet-wearing loser; M. Night Shyamalan’s latest is the surprise hit about a Visit to the grandparents gone wrong, Eli Roth’s The Green Inferno is a film for the entire family … the Manson...
Zootopia (Trailer)
The modern mammal metropolis of Zootopia is a city like no other. Comprised of habitat neighborhoods like ritzy Sahara Square and frigid Tundratown, it’s a melting pot where animals from every environment live together-a place where no matter what you are, from the biggest elephant to the smallest shrew, you can be anything. But when rookie Officer Judy Hopps (voice of Ginnifer Goodwin) arrives, she discovers that being the...
Deadpool (Red Band Trailer)
It’s Christmas Day, when Deadpool decorates with trailers Red & Green. One that’s “nice” and one that’s “naughty” (the way it’s meant to be seen). Feature red band trailer for Deadpool that was released on Christmas...
Moonwalkers (Trailer)
July 1969, Tom Kidman, one of the best CIA agents back from Vietnam, was sent to London to meet Stanley Kubrick and convince him to film a fake moon landing in case the Apollo 11 mission would fail. Kidman is not Kubrick, but it falls on Jonny, the manager missed a group of hippie rock. Everything opposes them, but they will have no choice but to work together, replace Kubrick, deceive the CIA, avoid hallucinogenic drugs, all with...
The 12 Days of Star Wars: Day Ten – The Force Awakens (Review)
A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away… It’s almost surreal to see those words grace the screen after so many years, so many bad prequels, and crushing anticipation for The Force Awakens. It takes a moment to read “Episode VII” in the opening scroll and deliberately put aside two years’ worth of reports, speculation, and think-pieces about what this film is about. There it is. “Luke Skywalker is missing.” And that’s...

Star Trek Beyond (Trailer)
Star Trek Beyond is the third film in the JJverse, following up a not-so-well-received sequel, due to hit theaters on Trek’s 50th anniversary. It was co-written by co-star Simon Pegg and directed by the guy who led the Fast and Furious resurgence. Nobody has any idea what the movie is about, until today. And even now, the best we’ve got is that the U.S.S. Enterprise, deep in the middle of its celebrated five-year mission,...
