Star Wars: The Last Jedi delivered on expectations, debuting with the second largest opening weekend of all-time and propelling the box office to the third largest weekend ever based on estimates. In an attempt at counter-programming, Fox's Ferdinand got off to a bit of a slow start against the might of Star Wars as well as the continued strong performance of Pixar's Coco as it fell below Mojo's expectations, though the studio is optimistic when it comes to the film's future. With an estimated $220 million, Star Wars: The Last Jedi delivered the second largest opening weekend ever behind only Star Wars: The Force Awakens, which debuted with $247.9 million back in 2015. Last Jedi got off to a strong start on Thursday night with the second largest preview gross ever of $45 million and became only the second film to ever gross over $100 million on opening day resulting in the second largest opening day ever,...

Following the exciting presentation at CinemaCon last week, 20th Century Fox released some new details for their upcoming releases. Check out the official synopses along with some photos for all their 2015 and 2016 films.
The highlight of the event was the must-see film of 2015 – Ridley Scott’s The Martian.
During a manned mission to Mars, Astronaut Mark Watney (Matt Damon) is presumed dead after a fierce storm and left behind by his crew. But Watney has survived and finds himself stranded and alone on the hostile planet. With only meager supplies, he must draw upon his ingenuity, wit and spirit to subsist and find a way to signal to Earth that he is alive. Millions of miles away, Nasa and a team of international scientists work tirelessly to bring “the Martian” home, while his crewmates concurrently plot a daring, if not impossible, rescue mission. As these stories of incredible bravery unfold,...

With a potential comeback on the cards for Jim Carrey, Rob looks through the hidden gems of his career.
Feature
Alrighty then. To get straight to the point – Jim Carrey’s career hasn’t been up to much lately has it? Certainly as leading man, at least. His last big-hitter was 2009’s A Christmas Carol, while his most recent leading role was 2011’s Mr Popper’s Penguins.
His latest performance outside of cameos was an interesting part in Kick Ass 2 though, a promising turn which left many audience-members wanting more from his character. With the trailer dropping recently for Dumb And Dumber To as well, the hints of a comeback for the iconic performer have continued to grow.
There’s been more positivity towards Dumb And Dumber To in comments than we might have expected (although this welcoming response was far from unanimous), which is undeniably a positive sign for the fledgling star.

Freaks and Geeks Season 1, Episode 4 ‘Kim Kelly Is My Friend’
Directed by Lesli Linka Glatter
Written by Mike White
Aired 9/5/2000 on Fox Family
It always boggles my mind that NBC never aired ‘Kim Kelly Is My Friend’ because of the ‘darker’ material surrounding Kim Kelly’s home life, because it’s such an important episode in establishing her character for the rest of the series. Written by Mike White (creator of Enlightened, and writer of Orange County and School of Rock), ‘Kim Kelly Is My Friend’ takes what’s been an archetype character to this point, and fills her out in three detailed and devastatingly poignant dimensions.
When the episode begins, Kim’s up to her usual antics, terrorizing freshman with her friend Karen (a young, particularly nasty Rashida Jones). Karen is shorter and slighter than Kim (and with dark hair), but she provides a mirror to judge Kim’s...

This was the beginning of the end right here. Oh sure, more comedies would follow. In fact, there would be a steady stream of comedic roles, tempered with dramas and lighter fare, leading up to and throughout the first half of the 21st century. Jim Carrey’s comedic gifts wouldn’t totally disappear, they are uniquely tied to who he is and his creative process.
However, his gifts wouldn’t have the freedom and boldness they did in 1996 when The Cable Guy was released. He wouldn’t put himself out there like that again. The response to the film by the public and critics was negative, and despite the cushion of a 25 million dollar payday, he did not come away unscathed.
Looking back, you have to wonder what people were thinking when they panned this film. What about it did they find so off-putting? It’s a remarkably deep and multi-layered comedy,...
