The show is about to go on. Despite facing over $2 billion dollars in debt and still navigating possible bankruptcy, AMC Theatres has officially announced plans to reopen all of its multiplexes nationwide by July. (An official date was not given, but mid-July would likely be the latest.) With competitor Cinemark already in full-swing with [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0hAL7emClFM There's something a little stale about old dudes still trying to party, and it's something that even William S. Preston Esq. and Theodore Logan can't quite shake. Nevertheless, when the heart's in the right place, it's still worth it to party on. That's the vibe of the first official trailer for Bill & Ted [...]
We haven’t had a new summer movie for over a month now, but I’ve been having one of the best Summer Movie Seasons that I can remember. Welcome to Week 6 of Summer Blockbusted 2020. Through the end of August, I am curating a weekly slate of movies from summers past, ranging from big blockbusters [...]
Being the biggest doesn't necessarily mean being the strongest. Cinemark isn't the former but they're proving to be the latter. Cinemark Theaters is the third biggest multiplex chain in the nation, trailing (in order) AMC Theatres and Regal Entertainment. Of the three, however, Cinemark is in the strongest financial position of the Top 3 by [...]
Spike Lee's Do The Right Thing isn't just relevant, it's prescient. In the 90-second short 3 Brothers that Lee tweeted out in the wake of the George Floyd killing (see below), Lee draws a striking, disturbing parallel between Floyd and Eric Garner -- two innocent African-American victims who lost their lives to police brutality -- [...]
The first month of the Summer Movie season comes to a close with most movie theaters still closed along with it…but there remain plenty of actual movies to choose from! Welcome to Week 5 of Summer Blockbusted 2020. Through the end of August, I will be curating a weekly slate of movies from summers past, [...]
They may take our theaters, but they’ll never take…our movies! Welcome to Week 4 of Summer Blockbusted 2020. Through the end of August, I’m curating a weekly slate of movies from summers past, ranging from big blockbusters to small counter-programming indies. But now, instead of new options for the multiplex, they’re classic ones for your [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L3pk_TBkihU&t= It's not time travel. It's inversion. To put it in practical terms, it's like what John David Washington's agent is told: "You're not shooting the bullet. You're catching it." Whoa. That's about as close as I can come to describing what Tenet is about -- and I wouldn't have it any other way. The [...]
The Snyder Cut is real. All of it. And it's about to be released. Long rumored but consistently dismissed by the studio as being true, there is indeed a complete version of director Zack Snyder's 2017 DC Universe blockbuster Justice League, the DCEU mega-tentpole follow-up to Batman V Superman. After suffering a family tragedy during [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eyzxu26-Wqk Tom Hanks is back in World War II, but this time he'll be fighting by sea rather than by land. And rather than the action exploding on the big screen, now it will stream straight to the small. Originally, Sony Pictures had slated Greyhound for a Father's Day weekend release in June. But now, [...]
