The final day of CinemaCon at Caesars Palace came with a familiar tinge as Arnold Schwarzenegger and others promoted films with titles harking back to previous blockbusters.
I’ ve never been much of a Lady Gaga fan. She’s crazy talented, but all that theatricality can be a bit … much.
Of the 10 highest-grossing films of 2017, six were superhero movies, one was another “Star Wars” and one was a live-action remake of a Disney animated tale.
The only downside to crafting one of the most wildly original, insanely clever, out-of-nowhere crowd-pleasers of the past few decades? Eventually, you have to try to top yourself.
To borrow from Justin Timberlake’s summer anthem, “Can’t Stop the Feeling,” you should look at the animated “Trolls” as an excuse to just dance, dance, dance. Because there’s certainly not much in the way of plot, plot, plot.
Well, whaddya know? You really can stuff too many superheroes into a 2½-hour movie, make them fight each other, throw in some mommy issues and, despite a muddled plot, actually leave audiences thrilled and hungry for more.
“Olympus Has Fallen” wasn’t exactly crying out for a sequel. With that in mind, here’s a look at 10 of the most inexplicable, spectacularly misguided or just plain random sequels ever to come out of Hollywood.
I know, I know. It’s difficult to think about a whole new year full of movies when you’re still so wrapped up in “Star Wars.”
As a movie, “Diamonds Are Forever” is mediocre at best. Based on critics’ scores, Rotten Tomatoes ranks it as the 16th best of the 23 official James Bond movies leading up to Friday’s release of “SPECTRE.” (“Dr. No” finished first, “A View to a Kill” last.)
You wanna win the war on drugs? Find a way to get each cartel boss alone in a room, then have Benicio Del Toro glare at him. It won’t be long before the world’s supply of illicit substances dwindles to whatever weed Seth Rogen happens to be holding.
Subtlety was never CineVegas’ forte. Exclusive parties, star-studded red carpets and an eclectic mix of films, sure. Taking over the Palms at the height of its Palms-iness, CineVegas created an atmosphere where George Clooney could fly in for a premiere and leave with a yearlong relationship with a cocktail server.
At this rate, we’re probably only a couple of movies away from seeing Melissa McCarthy play a feral clump of sweatpants and greasy hair, living under a bridge and scaring small children.
Starring Chris “Captain America” Evans, Ed Harris, John Hurt, Tilda Swinton and Octavia Spencer, the South Korean movie filmed in the Czech Republic is bonkers in the absolute best way possible.
“Captain America: The Winter Soldier” is very good. But there are plenty of other comic-book adaptations on the horizon.
