http://www.intermissionatwork.com Movie Reviews and Experiences from Me! Thu, 05 Feb 2009 05:12:52 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en I'm going to be trying to make like Viktor above and be aggresive on this blog again.  I've actually been looking to do a site re-design again, to make it easier to find articles here, and less complicated. I think I may have taken on a bit too much when ... http://www.intermissionatwork.com/2009/02/05/stepping-back-into-the-blog-and-the-upcoming-weekend/ Hey.. this is post #300 for the blog!  I'm surprised I've made it this far, and I've really been slacking in the way that I've been posting.  No excuse for that, and I pledge to continue to get back on the right track, but make no promises.  In any case, ... http://www.intermissionatwork.com/2009/01/22/movies-this-weekend-12309/ 2009 made a bit of a bang at the box office as you can tell from our Weekend Wrap Up, but it felt weird because there were no new movies released.  However, it looks like the studios are trying to pick up right where they left off, with 5 movies ... http://www.intermissionatwork.com/2009/01/09/movies-this-weekend-1909/ Welcome to the first post here at Intermission at Work for 2009.  It's late, and I know that I haven't been doing much posting recently, but I hope to be able to do much more this year, and maybe recruit some writers to help me out.  I'm sure that there ... http://www.intermissionatwork.com/2009/01/05/weekend-wrap-up-marley-and-me-sit-up-top/ When people think of how to ruin a movie for people, some very typical things may come to mind.  Allowing your cell phone to ring, actually talking on the phone, throwing food, etc.  What I propose is somewhat different, but to a fairly regular moviegoer, I believe it can be ... http://www.intermissionatwork.com/2008/12/25/how-to-easily-ruin-a-movie-for-people/ It's about to get really crowded in theatres... well, at least in terms of product.  If you're closer to a smaller location, you might want to go check out that movie before it leaves the theatre because that's bound to happen a lot sooner now that we've got more movies.  ... http://www.intermissionatwork.com/2008/12/17/movies-this-weekend-121908/ Well, the holiday shopping season is now in full swing... and it did reflect somewhat at the Box Office.  Keanu Reeves' The Day the Earth Stood Still did manage to grab the top spot, but following right behind it was Four Christmases, which remained strong.  Hard to believe that movie ... http://www.intermissionatwork.com/2008/12/17/weekend-wrap-up-the-box-office-stood-still-almost/ I've just read from a couple places (Variety and The Brock and Roll Blog), that Chris Weitz has been tapped to direct New Moon.  For those of you who haven't caught onto the Twilight bandwagon, New Moon is the second in a series of books written by Stephanie Meyer.  The ... http://www.intermissionatwork.com/2008/12/14/new-moon-gets-a-director-fans-probably-wont-care/ We're getting closer to the holidays, and yes, the holiday movies are starting to come in.  One movie that's supposed to be huge, a kids movie, and another holiday movie.  Yep, that's right.... another holiday movie.  I'm actually pretty happy about that because it's what people are looking for around ... http://www.intermissionatwork.com/2008/12/09/movies-this-weekend-121208/ As I said in when I previewed the movies this past weekend, I didn't really think that the films being released were appropriate for the time of the year.  Well, the box office really showed that, with Four Christmases taking home the top spot again.  In fact, the films that ... http://www.intermissionatwork.com/2008/12/09/weekend-wrap-up-the-holidays-take-their-toll/ After a pretty big box office last weekend, will this week be able to match or even top it?  If I had to give my opinion (and I'm going to), I don't think so.  We do have a few films that could make some noise, but I think that last ... http://www.intermissionatwork.com/2008/12/02/movies-this-weekend-12408/ This past weekend had the potential for quite a few of the movies to come out on top, and it seems like people are really starting to get into the holiday mood. Four Christmases wrapped up the top spot, with a bow on top, taking in 31.1 Million on ... http://www.intermissionatwork.com/2008/12/02/weekend-wrap-up-were-in-the-holiday-mood/ For those of you who haven't had a chance to check out Bolt yet, I highly recommend you do.  If you have the chance to see it in Disney Digital 3-D, go out there and check it out for sure.  Bolt has to be one of the better movies that ... http://www.intermissionatwork.com/2008/12/01/joes-review-bolt-in-3-d/ One of my friends told me that this "was the best movie he ever saw".  I was skeptical, but I decided to go check this out because I thought it did look funny.  That and you can't really go wrong with a movie with McLovin in it, right? Well.. almost right.  ... http://www.intermissionatwork.com/2008/11/21/joes-review-role-models/ Yep, I saw this movie a couple weeks ago and am just now getting to review it.  I admit that I am not usually a fan of horror movies, but I have enjoyed the Saw films that I've seen.  I still cringe when I think of some of the traps, ... http://www.intermissionatwork.com/2008/11/20/joes-review-saw-v/ Been slacking again as usual.. but when you've got so many good movies out (or popular, rather), and you work at a theatre, you end up being busy.  I've actually tried to get some stuff out, have quite a few reviews to write, but I am getting old and can't ... http://www.intermissionatwork.com/2008/11/20/movies-this-weekend-112108/ Looks like the down economy didn't deter people from flocking to theatres this weekend.  With the holiday on Tuesday, people took advantage of the extra time off and headed to the movies.  While I wasn't surprised at the film that ended up on top, the #2 did surprise me, especially ... http://www.intermissionatwork.com/2008/11/13/last-weekend-wrap-up-going-2-africa/ This past weekend was definitely a busy one, and it looks like the cinemas will be making strong steps towards the holiday season.  It even feels a bit like the summer blockbuster season, with only one major release this week.  It's that "I don't really want to compete with that ... http://www.intermissionatwork.com/2008/11/12/movies-this-weekend-111408/ The Feature Returns!! After a couple week hiatus (in which I actually wrote this post but never actually published it), we're back to take a look at the movies coming out this weekend in wide release, and to see what the weekend is shaping up to be like.  I'm still ... http://www.intermissionatwork.com/2008/11/05/movies-this-weekend-11708/ I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that most people don't realize that they're the one that's causing a problem in a movie theatre.  You could always go by the saying "If everyone else around you is normal, then you're the weird neighbor."  Well, in the ... http://www.intermissionatwork.com/2008/11/04/how-to-tell-if-youre-the-problem-at-the-movies/
