Tyler Perry Reviews, Interviews & More
Normally April is one of the weakest box office months of the year, as the season take a breath between the March hits and the big summer movies that start the first week of May. But not this year. The Evil Dead remake leads a crowded field of strong performers this weekend, and with Oblivion and Pain and Gain, we...
It's hard to want to talk numbers after the recent announcement of Roger Ebert's passing. He was as important to modern film culture as any living filmmaker. This weekend brings Evil Dead and the 3D reissue of Jurassic Park, but there will likely be a pall over this weekend as cineastes remember one of the most famous critics to ever discuss...
It's no surprise that G.I. Joe: Retaliation topped the box office, it was going to make some money when it was released. The big thing for the movie is that it's already popular overseas, where it made an additional $80 Million, and that puts its grand total near $130 Million (which is the reported budget). Which means Paramount absolutely did the right thing with the...
If G.I. Joe Retaliation had opened on its original launch date of June 29, 2012, we'd probably have already forgotten about it by now. It's also possible it would have been seen as weak next to Ted, would have fell hard in the face of The Amazing Spider-Man and would have died by the time The Dark...
We’re starting to get some of the Fall’s Oscar Pictures hitting home video, one of the most interesting documentaries of the year, and one classic Walt Disney film from the vaults. Not a bad weekend for home video.
It’s that time of year again—no, not the Academy Awards nominations (that’s tomorrow); rather, it’s time to find out who’s up for a Razzie. In a time-honored tradition (well, since, 1980), the Razzie nominations, honoring the absolute worst films of the year, are announced the day before the Oscar contenders. And the 33rd annual Razzie Awards, pinpointing the...
One of summer’s biggest surprises hits home video this week, as does a perennial classic, some Star Wars stuff, and a movie called Gabe the Cupid Dog. Check out this week’s top choices…
This weekend shows that Paramount still remembers how to do horror sequels as they've dashed off three quickie horror sequels in the last three years to capitalize on the success of Paranormal Activity. It reminds of their success with Friday the 13th films (though they were much more embarrassed of that franchise). And then there's Tyler...
Tyler Perry has taken a break from writing and directing to star in Rob Cohen's Alex Cross. It's the big screen adaptation of one of James Patterson's most popular characters. Unfortunately, the film sells the source material short. Alex Cross is nothing to write home about.
Despite the fact that it won’t be released until tomorrow, it has an abysmally low 27% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, and the trailer was just awful, Alex Cross—yes, the serial killer film starring Tyler Perry as a cop pushed to the limit in his hunt for a madman (because that movie has never, ever been made before)—is already set to get a sequel.
This weekend was about counter-programming, but both Ted and Magic Mike opened bigger and stronger than many of the summer's supposed blockbusters. Ted exceeded all expectations, as is a monster hit, which paves the way for more Seth MacFarlane movies. Timing is everything.
So, this weekend would look to be the quiet before the storm. Next week is dominated by Spider-Man (Amazing or not), then comes the Ice Age, and then a little film called The Dark Knight Rises. But Warner Brothers has smartly targeted women for Magic Mike, and it went from little awareness...
Tyler Perry has built a franchise out of his name. Every film he's made has turned a profit, but it's partly because they're done on the cheap, and he knows he has a core fanbase. Later this year he'll see if he can cross over into the mainstream with the action film Alex Cross, and now it looks like he wants to stretch even further by making a science fiction...
Let’s start with the movie’s tag line: “Don’t Ever Cross… Alex Cross.” When that’s the best a film can come up with, you know you’re in trouble. Further, when the film is a reboot of the Alex Cross franchise (Kiss the Girls, Along Came a Spider) that replaces Morgan Freeman with Tyler Perry (a.k.a., the guy who writes, directs, and stars...
This week brings us the end of one of HBO’s most successful comedies this side of Arliss, Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law doing their second Sherlock, and Nicolas Cage having another go at Ghost Rider, while Criterion has three different classics, and Sony hopes to get everyone ready for the new Spider-Man with some...
This week, Tyler Perry revealed the poster for his upcoming movie Madea's Witness Protection. HBO also released a set of 12 character posters for True Blood's fifth season. We've also got a new website we'd like you to check out--we promise it'll help you make your Netflix experience so much easier. All that and more after the jump.
The active-duty Seals that starred in Act of Valor took the weekend handily, while Hollywood was getting their nails done and hair right for their biggest night of self congratulation. Wanderlust and Amanda Seyfried's Gone died quick and horrible deaths, and Tyler Perry sans Madea-drag proved to be weak box office sauce....
Oh hey, it's Oscar weekend. That's not going to stop movies from coming out, mind you, but it's that time of year when the film industry congratulates itself for still making movies. Since the industry has changed dramatically over the last couple years, the films that are doing the most business right now aren't the nominees, with only The Descendents currently in...
There's a lot of new posters this week, from Snow White and the Huntsman to Tyler Perry's Good Deeds. We've also got two never-before-seen photos of Marilyn Monroe, which will be featured in a an exhibit, brought to you in-part by the Weinstein company. There's also news on the recently announced project Elvis &...
Because there is no force of goodness in the universe to protect us from the cold, intractable fact that existence is without any meaning, kindness, or reason, it was reported today that Tyler Perry is the highest paid man in the entertainment world, according to a recent Forbes list.
