Psyche, just when we thought we were out of the Tenet release date discussion, it drags us back in. The Christopher Nolan blockbuster has once again planted its flag, though this time over a usually under-performing holiday…

The biggest challenge for any movie is getting the audience to care. You have to draw the audience into the story and the lives of the characters before the film can have any real meaning.…

Everything is canceled! Or, at least that’s what it feels like. In the wake of a slew of indefinite delays for Tenet, Mulan, Top Gun, and even Star Wars, the box office will remain empty for some time. Nick…

Here at MovieBabble, we like to watch movies, obviously. However, the Coronavirus has created a sudden drop off in the number of new movies for us to watch. But we will not be stopped, and…

The new content train has come to a sudden halt after last week’s torrent of new movies. However, Nick, Brennan, and I still watch things like the good movie babblers we are. Peacock is here,…

2000’s X-Men turns 20 years old this week, and though the original film in this turbulent franchise is often overlooked, it’s impossible to ignore its influence. Not only did the film prove that Marvel could make…

When I saw Relic at the Sundance Premiere in January (it feels like an eternity ago), I was floored. Catching up with the film before sitting down to pen this, soon to be, overwhelmingly positive review,…

Trying to wash the memory of Artemis Fowl from their minds, Brennan and Nick take some time to deep dive into Spike Lee’s Da 5 Bloods (spoilers). It’s also a crazy time in the movie world, with…

Becky is taking the box office by storm… or at least as much of a storm as it can muster between 42 drive-in theaters. The box office has yet to fully return, but Tenet still remains…

HBO Max is here, and it is loaded to the brim with classic and contemporary content. Between Warner Bros’ century-old library, Turner Classic Movies, Studio Ghibli, and more, it is a real contender with Netflix…

Scoob! forwent its theatrical release and landed on digital this week. Though none of us thought it was worth dropping $20 on, we still took the time to pay it some respect and discussion. We…

Here at MovieBabble, we like to watch movies, obviously. However, the Coronavirus has created a sudden drop off in the number of new movies for us to watch. But we will not be stopped, and…

Yesterday morning, it was announced that Jerry Stiller had passed away. Upon hearing the news I felt sad. But why? I’ve never met Jerry Stiller. He’s not a relative of mine. We’re not personality connected,…

AMC appears to have found a potential ally, or overlord, in Amazon. After preliminary meetings between the two this week, AMC’s stock rose astronomically. As the theater slump continues, any news is good news to…

AMC has declared war on Universal Pictures after the studio claimed it would further utilize Video On Demand launches following the success of Trolls: World Tour. Cineworld quickly backed AMC up but Regal later recanted and…

Another week, another quarantine period. Netflix continues to gain traction, especially with the release of Extraction. (See what I did there.) The Netflix Top 10 List is pretty stacked between Netflix’s new releases and a plethora…

Have you ever noticed how every movie that has the word “rise” in the title is the worst movie in the trilogy? Well, Brennan and I have. Quarantine leads the mind to many an unusual…

With the box office at even further of a standstill, the streaming services reign supreme. As release dates as far as June are being pushed back, there isn’t much in the way of new “big…

The box office is at a near-complete halt due to the closures mandated by major theater chains earlier this week. With March and April’s release schedules also cleared, there aren’t any theatrical releases on the…

After several failed attempts to get their Dark Universe up and running, Universal has passed responsibilities off to Blumhouse with the hopes of them finding talented filmmakers to make inspired, one-off films with their classic…

Bad Boys for Life is still going strong in its third weekend at the box office. The action-comedy is breathing some much needed fresh air into Will Smith and Martin Lawrence’s movie careers. 1917 is also going…

Horse Girl is the latest film in the Jeff Baena/Alison Brie collaboration, though it is the first to be co-written by Brie. The pair have clearly found their creative stride together and Horse Girl is further…

Yes, part two of the acclaimed, award-winning series is here. This time, I’m talking about Count Dooku (Darth Tyranus), the most virtuous man in the galaxy far, far away. Though many Jedi would claim him…

Star Wars is a messy topic of discussion these days. I’m not here to discuss its merits (The Last Jedi), nor its faults (The Rise of Skywalker). I’m here to discuss one thing and one thing…

Underwater, starring Kristen Stewart and a handful of “oh I’ve seen them in something“‘s isn’t a groundbreaking film.  The inspirations it draws from Alien and a slew of other creature features are easy to spot. Originality…

1917 has stormed the box office to critical and audience praise. With little in the way of competition coming soon, it’s sure to have solid box office legs. It’s followed by The Rise of Skywalker which is…

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker is still going strong in its third weekend at the box office, though still below its predecessor’s gross. It’s followed by Jumanji: The Next Level in its fourth weekend. Little…

The 2010s were a crazily chaotic and rewarding decade in film. While Disney is the clear winner with its launch of the largest franchise of all time among its other tentpoles, it is not the…

After months of discourse and anticipation, Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker is here to cause much more discourse and anticipation. The film is proving to be just as divisive as Rian Johnson’s The Last Jedi, though…

Jumanji: The Next Level is flying off the goodwill of its predecessor. With a strong $60 million dollar debut, will The Next Level also have the legs of its predecessor? Frozen II also made substantial gains this weekend…

The Thanksgiving weekend is one of the box office’s longest and most profitable. In its second week, Frozen II is earning incredible numbers and zeroes in on a $1 billion gross. Aided by a few…

Walt Disney detested the idea of sequels. This is why, despite their profitability, there were no official Disney animated sequels produced until after his death. But even after his death, sequels weren’t something that Disney…

Six years after the original, Frozen II has arrived onto the scene to great success. The film boasts the largest opening weekend ever for an animated film. With over $350 million dollars worldwide, Frozen II is well on…

Back to the Future Part II is iconic, but that doesn’t mean that it’s a good movie. While it’s flashy visuals and its satirization of America’s future are fun, the movie itself is a mess.…

Ford v Ferrari has surpassed expectations with an impressive $30 million+ haul over the weekend. However, it remains to be seen if the film has what it takes to outrace its budget. Ford v Ferrari is joined in…

I am well aware that The Good Liar is “an old person movie”. However, at the ripe 22 years of age, I couldn’t have been more excited about it. There was just something about the trailer and…

In a surprising twist at the box office, Midway outgrosses Doctor Sleep in their inaugural weekends. However, the top four performing films are locked in a tight race. Alongside these two films, Playing with Fire and Last Christmas opened to respectable…

What are movies? What makes one movie “cinema” and another a “theme park ride”? These clickbait questions have been on everyone’s mind lately. Martin Scorcese and Francis Ford Coppola have been asked to comment on…

Terminator: Dark Fate has come hot on the heels of Terminator: Genisys to even bleaker returns. The Arnold Schwarzenegger-driven project once again fails to live up to its former glory. Could this be the last we’ll see…

The Current War is actually the Director’s Cut of the initial film. The initial film, by most accounts, was a mess. Being distributed by The Weinstein Company, director Alfonso Gomez-Rejon was forced to release the…
