‘The Nice Guys’ Getting Rebooted as TV Series ‘The Nice Girls’; Shane Black Not Involved!!!

I loved Shane Black’s The Nice Guys, but it wasn’t a hit at the box office. It only grossed $62 million worldwide off a budget of $50 million, so even though it would be great to see a follow-up film following Jackson Healy (Russell Crowe) and Holland March (Ryan Gosling) with Black returning to write and direct, that’s not going to happen. However, producer Joel … Continue reading ‘The Nice Guys’ Getting Rebooted as TV Series ‘The Nice Girls’; Shane Black Not Involved!!!

The first weekend in June 2016 played out mostly as expected, with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows taking the #1 spot followed by last weekend’s first place finisher, X-Men: Apocalypse.

‘X-Men: Apocalypse’ Tops with $65 Million; ‘Alice Through the Looking Glass’ Bombs at the BO!!

Three-day Memorial Day weekend results are in and while the numbers at the top are soft compared to franchise predecessors, the weekend was an overall improvement compared to 2015 when Memorial Day took place one week earlier. X-Men:Apocalypse led the weekend charge, matching the studio’s expectations, followed by Disney‘s Alice Through the Looking Glass, which fell well short of what the studio was hoping for. That said, Disney‘s … Continue reading ‘X-Men: Apocalypse’ Tops with $65 Million; ‘Alice Through the Looking Glass’ Bombs at the BO!!

The Nice Guys (2016) Review!!!

Synopsis – A mismatched pair of private eyes investigate the apparent suicide of a fading porn star in 1970s Los Angeles.

Black has previously written (or co-written) popular action movies as Lethal Weapon (1 & 2), The Last Boy Scout, Last Action Hero, The Long Kiss Goodnight, … Continue reading The Nice Guys (2016) Review!!!
