Yep, like "Sound of Freedom", I suspect there are plenty of empty auditoriums out there that are "sold out".

I predict its first weekend will land between $5-10 million. That's pretty good for a documentary. However, its day-to-day and week-to-week numbers, as well as its repeat viewings, will likely be horrendous. "Melania" won't be a "Fahrenheit 9/11" (or any other Michael Moore documentary, for...

#4 of 10: "Train Dreams". Grade: A- As a theater owner, I'm not a fan of Netflix. I've always worried that the biggest threat to theatrical exhibition was the studios' insatiable desire to "sell their product" directly to the "end user". The middleman (the movie theater) must be destroyed...

Gotta love the first Metacritic user reviews: 1) "A heart wrenching documentary about a trophy wife and her journey to the White House. After first meeting her husband, Donald Trump, on Jeffery Epstein's Lolita Express, Melania went on to become the worst first lady is US history." 2) "****...

The first review is in on Rotten Tomatoes. It's a 1 out of 5 splat with the full review: FOSTER’S FILM REVIEWS MELANIA (Dir: Brett Ratner) So, what’s the point? How does this superficial, wilfully deceitful reality readjustment serve the sociopathic ascension of Trump’s will (because...

Pay for another movie and sneak in. That way, the other movie gets the money, and literally no one will notice you're at the "Melania" screening. Good luck holding that popcorn down, though. Make sure to bring some Pepto-Bismol.

At THIS year's ceremony in March, no doubt.

We agree that the younger sister gave the best performance in this movie.

Come on (pun NOT intended), heelinhell, just the performances of the actors playing Mr. Greenfield and Mr. Hardwick alone dominate the screen. Talk about "Be Best"! They certainly did not have John Holmes-level mega-watt stardom, but they were overflowing with plenty of rizz (maybe I...

Which makes him more of a hero. That he got beaten once by these goons, yet went out again to record and protect others, shows bravery that few of us possess. He has now ascended to god-like status through his martyrdom. Rest in peace, Alex Pretti. Hopefully, we can find a modicum of your...

It's one day from release, and Rotten Tomatoes has exactly ZERO reviews. That tells you everything you need to know. One entertainment site I follow described the screening audience's reaction as "Interesting". High praise, indeed!

Everything Trump touches dies.

#3 of 10: "Sentimental Value". Grade: C I once had a friend who loved to discuss movies. He described a boring three-hour film as being akin to brushing one's teeth for three hours. With "Sentimental Value," I was spared 47 minutes of the dental tendium. How this movie received 9...

... with one of the all-time great lines: "slipped the surly bonds of earth to touch the face of God." I tear up every time I hear that line from his speech.

I was in law school at the time. I remember joining a group of other students in a classroom around a TV. It was stunning, but to my mind, not unexpected. Space flight is incredibly dangerous, with many systems that can fail. We had been really lucky in the years after Apollo 1.
