Box Office Weekend: Robinson Leads the Way over a Tepid Scary Movie
Is it wrong for a well-regarded biopic to win the weekend over a comedy that was not even screened for critics? Well, of course not, though to say the abysmally reviewed Scary Movie 5 is a bomb is not exactly true. While the Jackie Robinson movie 42, starring Chadwick Boseman in the title role and veteran actor Harrison Ford, made a comfortable estimated $27.3 million, it has yet to make good on i...[Read More]

Box Office Weekend: In Gore vs. Guns, Evil Dead Triumphs Over G.I. Joe
Having missed the weekend in which G.I. Joe: Retaliation took charge of the box office thanks to a horrific flu (though to be fair, no movie was responsible for that condition), Box Office Weekend returns only to report that the sequel has been upended, both critically and financially, by the remake of Sam Raimi’s 1981 horror classic Evil Dead. Scoring a strong estimated $26 million in revenue, th...[Read More]

Hail to the King: A Fan’s Ode to Bruce Campbell
I am to Bruce Campbell as Annie Wilkes was to Paul Sheldon in Misery…minus the sadistic rage and predisposition to kidnap their favorite entertainer. I was about 14 when I had my first real dose of “The Chin,” as many fans affectionately refer to Campbell. Sure, I saw him in Darkman four years earlier, but his role was so minor that I forgot he was in it until I researched his filmography for this...[Read More]
