November Forecast November 23, 2021 November is a simple, if now historic, month: it begins with what's turned out to be the greatest Marvel Cinematic Universe film ever.

The #1 Movie in America October 16, 2021 “Sahara,” the 2005 action-adventure flick starring Matthew McConaughey and Penelope Cruz, made $68.6 million. It was the 35th top-grossing film of that year.

The Many Saints of Newark October 10, 2021 “The Many Saints of Newark" is a solid albeit not exactly electrifying crime film.

The #1 Movie in America October 10, 2021 It’s tough to imagine a time when “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” and “Pretty Woman” were locked in an extended battle for multiplex supremacy.

October Forecast October 8, 2021 At this point in the game, it may or may not seem unusual that possibly the biggest, baddest, most blockbustery month of 2021 shall be... October.

Review: Vacation Friends October 8, 2021 “Vacation Friends” is a happy, harmless, “everyone involved looks like they’re having a good time” ensemble comedy.

#1 Movie in America October 8, 2021 There’s a very plausible alternate universe where perennial Oscar bridesmaid Amy Adams has a Best Actress trophy.

September Forecast September 13, 2021 A kinder, gentler, quieter, September 2021 is what we get, a breather from the upstart and colorful August behind us.
