Transformers – more that meets the eye
I love when I make a prediction and it comes true, now if only I could predict those winning lottery numbers. “Transformers” blew up the big screen this past weekend. Since it’s opening on Wednesday, it has grossed $201 million dollars and is slated to be the second largest opening for a movie that comes [...]
Lighthearted Fun With Shia LeBeouf
You know Shia. He’s the guy that starred alongside legendary actor Harrison Ford in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull not to mention Eagle Eye and this week’s release Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.
Well, this morning, he was on NBC’s The Today Show and 20 year-old fan, Samantha, got the chance of [...]
The Blockbuster season continues
We are a little over a month into the big summer blockbuster season for the movies and I have to say that I believe this week is bringing us two on opposite ends of the spectrum – the big blockbuster and the possible Oscar contender.
Getting a jump on the weekend with an opening tomorrow [...]
Box Office Results (6/19-6/21)
I was wondering which of this week’s Top 2 would make it to THE top. I figured with all the accolades for The Hangover it had a good chance of maintaining its spot at #1 but alas, my girl, Sandra Bullock’s flick, The Proposal slid safely by it by a little under $8 mil (saw [...]
I Propose You See The Proposal
So yesterday I went to the second showing at my local theater of the new Sandra Bullock flick, The Proposal and when I left the theater I was all smiles. I thoroughly enjoyed the movie. Then, I got to thinking about why I enjoyed it so much. I could easily just leave it as the [...]
The Buzz Times TWO!
I am so excited to introduce to y’all to my NEW partner in crime for The REEL Box Office Buzz, my good friend, Michelle Bell. For a while now she has been writing her own movie reviews on her blog, Just Jump, but they have been mixed in with all the other fun topics she [...]
THE Proposal is Coming!
I am SUPER excited about this one. Why? Well, for starters I just love Sandra Bullock, especially as a comedic actress. In a scene, her comic timing is usually point on! Looking back at her film history, I can honestly say there hasn’t been a film that I thought she bombed in. I guess you [...]
Go Ahead and Laugh – It’s The Hangover Talking
Once again, I am blessed to share the spotlight (so to speak) with a Guest Blogger but this one is no ordinary guest blogger. As a matter of fact, starting next week, this young lady will be my partner in crime on The REEL Box Office Buzz! More about that later.
My good friend, Michelle, [...]
Up, Up, and Away to Animation Genius!
Hello, Everyone! I have a guest blogger today. My friend, Scott Ellis, is a multimedia designer and a fan of really good movies so much so that I asked him if he wouldn’t mind being a Guest Blogger to review the latest Disney Pixar release (that’s getting all the critical nods it apparently deserves), Up. [...]
Rewind – Philip Seymour Hoffman IS Capote (2005)
Last weekend I had the chance to see Academy Award nominated film, Capote, starring Philip Seymour Hoffman. You remember him from the films Charlie Wilson’s War and Doubt (also Oscar nominated).
I don’t really know how to interpret my thoughts on the movie. It’s disturbing, or rather, the plot is but equally so isn’t Hoffman’s very [...]
