Box Office Weekend: Nightcrawler Squeaks by Ouija
Box office revenue as a whole dropped to September-level numbers after a decent October, but the biggest surprise, perhaps, is that the new release Nightcrawler, starring Jake Gyllenhaal, just barely topped the winner of last week, Ouija, in numbers even an estimate is too close to call (with Nightcrawler a few thousand ahead in an estimated $10.9 million race). While Nightcrawler is getting rave ...[Read More]

It is also about how a hot-shot, big city lawyer rides into town to defend the judge (who also happened to be the lawyer’s father) in a backwater district. Mostly though, this film is about family; reconnecting and acceptanc...[Read More]
