Monday Box Office Report – Our box office brand is crisis
To paraphrase little orphan Annie: instead of treated, the US box office got tricked this weekend past! With this year’s Halloween falling on Saturday, usually the busiest day for American cinemas, it meant that total revenue for the weekend was way down at just above $70 million – the lowest weekend take for the year thus far. And with cineamgoers …
Movies out Today: 30 October 2015
It’s (almost) all about Halloween this weekend! We have a surprisingly good meta-adaptation of the famously spooky R.L. Stine book series Goosebumps, a disturbing but beautiful horror love story from Guillermo del Toro, a sadly not-so-scary home invasion thriller, a movie about the dark allure of violent gangsters, and one Russian produced and Afrikaans dubbed animated movie about The Snow …
We review CRIMSON PEAK – Sadly more trick than treat
Guillermo del Toro’s Crimson Peak has all the ingredients to make one fine movie. Unfortunately, there might just be too many ingredients to make it all work.

Monday Box Office Report – Mars attacks (again)!

In its fourth week on the charts, Ridley Scott’s brilliant The Martian returned to the top of the US box office this weekend past with an impressive $15.9 million haul. Well, that’s impressive for a fourth …
Monday Box Office Report – Golden goosebumps, Crimson bleak
It’s official: The bumps’ gonna goose ya! Coming off the backs of surprising good reviews, the Jack Black-led live-action action adaptation of R.L. Stine’s classic Goosebumps books has opened strongly in the US, with the horror-for-kids adventure flick scaring away most of the competition as it debuted top of the charts with $23.5 million. The comedy adventure fell short of …
There are parts of these new trailers for CRIMSON PEAK that are unsafe
Up until George Miller’s recent “mad” resurgence, I would have said that Guillermo Del Toro is probably the most visually imaginative director working in the Hollywood studio system. The Pan’s Labyrinth and Pacific Rim helmer builds such sumptuously fantastical worlds in his movies, that even if the movies themselves don’t always work holistically, at least they look utterly amazing. With …
