Just a note for newcomers to the site: there’s a reason why you’re not seeing last weekend’s box office numbers for the U.K. here until the day the new weekend is starting. The actual numbers for the overall British box office (which, as an aside, also includes the Republic of Ireland) are far less readily … more…
Take a break from work: watch a movie trailer… Oh man, I’m getting a lump in my throat and tears welling in my eyes just from this trailer. No pictures of coffins coming home from Iraq and Afghanistan. That’s what the men who sent our soldiers into harm’s way decreed. They thought they could make … more…
Take a break from work: watch a movie trailer… This is gonna be an interesting test for me. The American remake and truncation of the British miniseries of the same name looks rather intriguing from the trailer. Certainly, I’m a big fan of Russell Crowe, always love the intensity he brings to a role. I’m … more…
Oops, this popped up so quickly I didn’t even have time to get psyched for it. I just heard about a screening tomorrow of Coraline (opens in the U.S. on February 6, and in the U.K. on May 15), and of course I jumped on it. Neil Gaiman done up Nightmare Before Christmas style with … more…
Take a break from work: watch a movie trailer… Moment-by-moment thoughts as I watched this trailer for the first time: 0:14: “What day is it? What year?” More time travel? Could Judgment Day stay still, temporally speaking, for five minutes so we can get our bearings? Sheesh. 0:37: “I knew it was coming. I thought … more…
We had another five-day weekend this past week, what with New Year’s Eve falling on a Wednesday, but the ranking remains the same whether we look at the five-day or the three-day weekend, so for sanity’s sake, I’m gonna stick with the three-day figures… that is, Friday, January 2, through Sunday, January 4: 1. Marley … more…
And so another movie year begins, and it’s time to get back on the hamster wheel of screenings. I was all set to say, “You know, maybe The Unborn (opens wide in the U.S. on January 9, and in the U.K. on February 27) ain’t gonna be so bad after all. Yeah, it looks rather … more…
Take a break from work: watch a movie trailer… So all through this trailer I’m thinking, Is that Liev Schreiber? And then, at the end, it’s clear that it is. And that is seriously cool. There really is no one our age (he’s two years older than me) who isn’t a comic book geek, is … more…
Take a break from not working this wasted holiday week: watch a movie trailer… Oh dear: here we go again. It’s the tale of a schlub who wants the gorgeous golden girl who’s way out of his league instead of the “ordinary” girl right in front of him. And he gets her! And he gets … more…
Just an FYI: the British box office numbers for Christmas weekend don’t seem to be available, so no update on those this week.
