In Memoriam: At the Movies
2010-03-26 05:08:00 It was with great surprise and sadness that I turned the page of this morning's Chicago Tribune Business section and learned that ABC/Disney would be cancelling the long-running film review show, currently titled At the Movies and long known before that as Siskel & Ebert. Though Ebert has been away from the show for a while, I was happy to see Siskel's replacement, Richard Roeper, carry on the show's legacy with a rotating panel of guest hosts. When Roeper left in '07 and Disney took the show in a new direction, with d-bag host Ben Lyons, it all but killed the franchise. Recognizing their mistake, Disney recently hired esteemed film critics Michael Phillips (whom I like quite a bit)...
Goodbye, 'At the Movies,' you will be missed
2010-03-25 15:24:00 Very sad news: Disney-ABC will cancel "At the Movies" in August after 24 years on the air.Phil Rosenthal does a great job of explaining the situation, so I'll just chime in to say that growing up I loved watching Siskel and Ebert jaw at each other. They showed how compelling a debate about movies could be between people who both love what they watch, even when they hate it.Recently the Trib's own Michael Phillips and the New York Times' A.O. Scott have done a smart, entertaining job of picking up the pieces from the mistaken Ben Lyons-Ben Mankiewicz era. I DVR the show every Saturday night and look forward to watching it Sunday afternoon. I'm sorry that Aug. 14 will...

2009-06-02 14:00:00 Cinemark (NYSE: CNK), a leading owner of movie theaters, is a recent buy candidate from Leo Fasciocco, whose Ticker Tape Digest seeks stocks poised for technical breakouts."CNK an excellent intermediate-term play due to the strong profit outlook.

I also save money by buying the BIG popcorn at the movies, and then making
2008-08-23 15:12:00 How do you save money? Put a little away here or there? Clip coupons? Go to afternoon movies?Those are all okay ideas, but how about this one: save money by paying off only 10% of your credit cards and having the companies forgive the rest -- so you don't owe them and you don't owe that interest?That's one of the options offered by Freedom Debt Relief to deal with debt. Freedom Debt Relief is in the business of helping you save money by reducing the debt you have and reducing the interest on that debt.Their site explains how in detail, and gives you a chance to sign up online, but I can give you the basics because I've been reading up. They primarily work through debt reduction -- working with credit card companies (Big Credit) to force your creditors to take less money than you owe.

Mob Mentality at the Movies
2008-03-07 20:15:00 The nearly concurrent DVD releases of Alberto Lattuada's "Mafioso - Criterion Collection, and Marco Turco's "Excellent Cadavers," from First Run, make for a discerningly complementary treatment of the Sicilian Mafia as an indestructible force of evil.

Remember that $10 you spent at the movies? Well it tallies up to a $4 bill
2007-08-22 11:53:00 Hollywood is looking at a $4 billion dollar summer, thanks to an expected 600 million tickets being sold. No shit, check it out: “We will certainly surpass $4 billion and probably be around $4.1 billion. I also think we will be at 600 million tickets sold, which we haven’t seen in a few years,” said Paul Dergarabedian, head of ticket sales tracker Media By Numbers. So far, domestic ticket sales stand at around $3.83 billion, up some 10 percent from last year and 5 percent ahead of the pace for 2004’s record summer of $3.95 billion. Admissions are 559 million, up 5 percent from last year, according to Media By Numbers. This is a lesson to the music industry. I can download every new release movie the same day that it shows up in theatres with relative ease - as can anyone else with broadband in North America (just like music). On top of that, I can upload it to an iPod or other portable device and enjoy it (just like music). And on top of THAT, your $10 fo...

Da Da Da Da Da
2007-08-03 06:24:00 The Simpsons Movie. Spoilers ahead! It starts off as a fun ride, dips a bit in the middle, and then rises up (slightly) for the end. The movie starts with the family going to church, where then Grandpa Simpson gets a "prophecy", which Marge believes is to be about the impending doom of Springfield. Of course, the person who brings it about just has to be Homer.In short, after Springfield gets covered in a dome, the Simpsons get hunted down by the entired town, the family's escape to Alaska, the family's desertion of Homer after he selfishly refuses to save the town, Homer's encounter with the "boob lady", and (you knew it'll have to happen) his eventually saving of the town, regaining back his old life... As per usual, life lessons must be learned.Homer learns that he's lost without his family & the people of Springfield, Marge loses then regains her long suffering love for her husband (as always), Bart discovers that as much as he would love to have Flanders as his father, Hom...

I Guess You Think You're at the Movies
2007-05-12 17:37:00 I've watched a whole bunch of movies lately. So why don't we discuss?"Beerfest" -- Ok, I should probably be a bit ashamed of watching this, but it was a funny diversion at least. Not much else to say, really, it's freaking "Beerfest" -- you want actual analysis?"American Hardcore" -- Good music, cool look back. A bunch of the old hardcore guys are really insufferable dorks, though. After the fifteenth 50-year-old guy telling you what a trailblazer he is, it gets kind of old."The Death of Mr. Lazarescu" -- Great performances, subtle humor, way too long. Movies about the mindlessness of bureaucracy shouldn't make you feel like you're in a Kafkaesque world yourself."Repo Man" -- One of my favorite movies from my teenage years, I haven't seen it in ages, and it had just been reduced to a bunch of one-liners bouncing around my mind. A friend recently warned that it wouldn't hold up. He was utterly wrong. One of the finest movies ever."What about our relationship??" "Fuck that."Pur... |
