My Take On the Worst of the Worst Movies Ever, Part 4: The Bitter End
Chris Kavan - wrote on 04/10/13 at 12:07 AM CT
It has been quite the trip we've been on. While I have issues with some of the Razzie "winners" - others rightfully deserve their place as some of the worst movies of all time. But this final group - well, they're in a class all their own. They not only deserve their Razzie titles - they deserve to be buried in the desert along with all those old Atari E.T. games. Buried and forgotten. Alas, we …

THIS WEEK'S MOVIE RELEASE:
"Hyde Park on Hudson": After his recent outstanding performance in "Moonrise Kingdom," it's a shame that Bill Murray got stuck in this big-screen Hallmark Channel-esque movie playing a wheel chair-bound president FDR, set during a weekend in upstate New York in 1939. The film details what may or may not have been an actual affair between FDR and his distant cousin, …
Weekend Box Office: Evil Reboot Knocks 'Em Dead - Jurassic Park Looks Good in 3D
Chris Kavan - wrote on 04/07/13 at 10:55 PM CT
Everything old is new again - and it that's good news for Hollywood. It appears audiences are still happy too - as the overall box office was up 9% compared to same weekend last year - a good sign for a rather rough year - and it was thanks to two well-received new entries and some impressive holdovers as well. I admit - things turned out much better than I had expected. Hollywood is certainly …
A Roger Ebert Tribute

Movie critics for film lovers are either consistent, irritating or a combination of both. Not all of them are right depending on your taste of flicks, but none was more popular and respected as Mr. Two Thumbs up: the great Roger Ebert. I tend to browse his site to read his opinions on certain films, both old and new. Some I agree with, others not so much. Regardless of how I feel, he was a …
New in Theaters April 5: Evil Dead, Jurassic Park 3D
Chris Kavan - wrote on 04/04/13 at 09:20 AM CT
After a few bang-up weeks at the box office, we're heading into a quiet weekend with just two new wide- release openings (one of which is a 3D re-release). I have a feeling that the top movies are going to look much the same as last week and there won't be much excitement for audiences this time around. I have been proven wrong in the past - but I'm comfortable with my predictions.
EVIL DEAD …
My Take On the Best of the Best Movies Ever, Part Four
Chris Kavan - wrote on 04/03/13 at 01:06 PM CT
Here we go with part four of my epic Best Picture-winning Oscar countdown. This is the penultimate list: number 20 down to 11 - and we're really getting into the cream of the crop. These are the movies I would not only recommend but have gone so far as to shape the cinematic landscape. It's getting near the end, but it's not over yet. But we're really getting into the good stuff now - let's see …

THIS WEEK'S TOP RELEASES:
"American Masters Philip Roth: Unmasked" (2013) is a fascinating film that explores the life of the Pulitzer Prize- and National Book Award-winning novelist, one of the greatest living American writers. The tenor for the 90-minute documentary is set by the 80-year-old Roth at the outset: "In the coming years I have two great calamities to face: death and a biography. …
Weekend Box Office: G.I. Joe, Tyler Perry Score Big, The Host Fails
Chris Kavan - wrote on 03/31/13 at 11:34 PM CT
Easter weekend was a good weekend for the box office. Thanks to a pair of big openings, the weekend was in a virtual dead heat with the same weekend last year and maybe Hollywood can finally shake off the funk that has plagued it the first couple of months this year. It wasn't all smiles as it turns out you can force feed young adults only so much drama/romance before even they tire of the …
My Take On the Worst of the Worst Movies Ever, Part 3
Chris Kavan - wrote on 03/30/13 at 11:10 PM CT
It's not like part one and two contained some great movies - but some of them weren't completely terrible. However, we're getting down to wire here and now the movies truly start getting to the point where, given a choice, I would rather pass than choose to watch any of them again. The best part? It's only going to get worse from here! Well, what are you waiting for? Here we go people, we're …
New in Theaters March 29: G.I. Joe Retaliation, The Host, Tyler Perry's Temptation
Chris Kavan - wrote on 03/28/13 at 03:19 PM CT
Last week was another solid week for Hollywood. It's too bad comparisons to last year have to involve the Juggernaut known as The Hunger Games or else the news would have been much better received. An action movie proved that people haven't totally given up on the genre - which is good news, as there is a big one coming out this weekend. Another movie targeting the YA audience will try to make …
