Hanx vs. Robots this week at the box office [AtMPS]

The looming July 4th weekend can only mean one thing: there will be a film debuting in theaters that is ninety percent explosions. 2011 stays true to form with this model, and brings us the third – and hopefully last – giant-talking-robot-Laboof movie. Also, there’s Hanx on a moped. Read more…

Penguins and green dudes to vote on this week [AtMPS]


We have seen a few weeks pass where there have been films so good that they terrorize smaller, weaker films into submission, causing us to not have to think twice about which movie we would be seeing at the end of the week. Well no more! This week we get to vote on penguins and some dude who is scared of the color yellow. Read more…

No voting this week because no one wants to go up against X-Men.


Normally, early in the week we would post something regarding voting on what film we should see during the following weekend. Not this week. It turns out that other films are too scared of what comes out this weekend to even try and compete. There certainly are a few limited release films showing in more fancy cities than my own, but for wide release it’s only one: X-Men: First Class I just shook my 8-ball to see what the headlines about the film will be come next week, and it came back with: “It’s a juggernaut, bitch!”

A priest and a bridesmaid [AtMPS]

Only two films rear their ugly heads this week. You have a 50/50 chance of choosing the right one.

Bridesmaids


Director: Paul Feig
Starring: Kristen Wiig, Maya Rudolph, Rose Byrne

Picked as her best friend’s maid of honor, lovelorn and broke Annie (Wiig) looks to bluff her way through the expensive and bizarre rituals with an oddball group of bridesmaids.

Priest


Director: Scott Charles Stewart
Starring: Paul Bettany, Cam Gigandet, Maggie Q

A priest (Bettany) disobeys church law to track down the vampires who kidnapped his niece.

And there you have it. If you vote this week you get a free puppy!*

*Puppies only available in American Somoa

Let’s vote on Thor [AtMPS]

A film series that won’t die and some blue bird [AtMPS]


When movie studios look for a quick buck, bringing up an old franchise from the dead seems like a great idea. “People remember this name. It’ll make money!” It’s unfortunate when they choose the wrong things to resurrect (did we really need Indie IV?). Why can’t we have good films come back to us? Where’s my The Saint 2: Colder Fusion or The Return of Gladiator: Zombimus Maximus?

This week we might be revisiting a world where Neve Campbell exists, and also there’s also some film about a blue bird who can’t fly. Read more…

So much crap is coming out this week [AtMPS]


Alright April, you have come in an attempt to make us all fools, but it is us that have fooled YOU. We all have no shame, so there really isn’t anything that you could have done to make us feel bad. Now it’s time to vote for way too many movies.

Government demon superhero bunnies [AtMPS]


Voting is back, and although this coming Friday is April Fools’ Day, it is fairly certain that these films will all be showing. It might be nice for one of them to not exist, but we are afraid it does actually exist. Don’t be mean to us.

Look, here’s the deal about the films this week [AtMPS]


Garret here. This week I am going to pull rank so hard that it might upset those who like to force us to see films that we otherwise never even consider unless we had small children, but here we go: this week for the film we will be seeing Sucker Punch. There. Done. I apologize for any voting inconvenience, but every so often we just have to take a stand for what’s right and just. For those of you who are curious, the only other nationally released film for this week is Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules. The poll would have resulted in a 50/50 chance for one or the other, and that simply was too terrifying an option.
