Top 20 Films of 2013

This list is a lot late, but I still wanted to see a few more films before making my list. I still have a lot to go, but I'm pleased with the current Top 20 I have at the moment. I might do an article later in the year with an unofficial updated list, just …

August 2-4 Box Office Predictions

"The Smurfs 2" is being released two days early to beat the rush. Now, that worked wonders for "Despicable Me 2," but didn't do anything for "Turbo." After families have emptied their pockets out on legitimately good animated movies like "Monsters University" and "DM2," their budgets for movies are running on empty (as shown by …

“The Conjuring” scares a big audience, Snails and Retired Spies do okay, “R.I.P.D.” bombs hard

New releases from the weekend that are still on my watchlist: The Conjuring, R.I.P.D., Red 2, Turbo. So, all of them! I've realized that I haven't been a good box office analyst. I've been posting my predictions, but neglecting to report the results. This weekend, I'll change that. At the beginning of 2013, it was looking like this …

Box Office Predictions: July 19-21

There are four big releases coming out this weekend, so I'll try to keep my thoughts on each of the movies brief, so this article doesn't become too tedious. The movies are "The Conjuring", "Red 2", "R.I.P.D." and "Turbo". "The Conjuring" will do superb business this weekend. James Wan's movies have an average opening of …

Box Office Predictions: 7/12-7/14; Monsters & Robots vs. (Apparently) Funny people vs. the Minions

I say 'apparently funny people' in the title because I'm not sure how funny the guys of 'Grown Ups 2' will be this time around... There are two new releases coming out this weekend, and those are "Pacific Rim" and "Grown Ups 2", the sequel to Adam Sandler's 2010 box office hit. "Pacific Rim" looks …

Despicable Me 2 (2013)

Released: July 3, 2013. Directed by: Pierre Coffin, Chris Renaud. Starring: Steve Carell, Kristen Wiig, Benjamin Bratt. Runtime: 98 min. I don't remember some of the first movies I've ever seen. At least the first one I saw at the theatre... I've been trying to remember, but I haven't come up with the answer yet. I blame my …

Brief-ish Recap of 2013’s Movies So Far

2013 has been a decent year for movies, and it's improving in both quality, and in regards of box office earnings. And I think it can only get better from here, at least in terms of quality. So far, I've seen 36 movies that have been released in 2013, and I've missed quite a few …

Recap of June’s Theatrical Releases

I saw six out of the nine major theatrical releases of June. I still plan on seeing the following from the month of June, in alphabetical order: "Berberian Sound Studio", "The Bling Ring", "Byzantium", "The Internship", "Maniac", "Much Ado About Nothing", "Song for Marion", "Syrup" (because I love Brittany Snow), "Violet & Daisy", White House …

Box Office Predictions: ‘Despicable Me 2’ to crush ‘The Lone Ranger’

Despicable Me is one of those universally loved movies. It's charming, entertaining, heartfelt, and hilarious. Since Monsters University showed that families are willing to spend good amounts of money on animated flicks, Despicable Me 2 is in great condition. And, families might have held out on that - to wait for this. Movies similar to …

Box Office Predictions: ‘The Heat’, ‘White House Down’

  Comedy movies have performing fairly well so far this year. A few bombed (Movie 43), a few opened to expectations (This is the End), and a few impressed (Identity Thief). Now, it's time to see how the Sandra Bullock/Melissa McCarthy buddy comedy will perform. I think it will out-do Identity Thief, but not by …
