Interesting lessons learned as Q1 ends down 7.4%. Story by Matt Cummings With the largest box office ever recorded now in the books, 2016 has always been viewed as the bastard stepchild, the fat kid someone has to pick because all the studs and girls are taken. After the close of Q1, that view is probably accurate. Note: The Winter Season is defined as the first day after New Year's week or weekend through the Thursday before the first Friday in March. According to our friends at BoxOfficeMojo.com, Quarter 1 of 2016 took in $1.0342 billion domestically, as compared to 2015's take of $1.1167b and 2014's $1.0992b. Here's the master list, but notice the problem. We'll share it afterwards: 1. Deadpool (Fox) $311,158,132 2. Kung Fu Panda 3 (Fox) $133,831,833 3. Ride Along 2 (Uni.) $89,514,865 4. 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi (Par.) $52,513,494 5. How to Be Single (WB) $43,318,465 6. Dirty Grandpa (LGF) $35,379,525 7. The Bo

The score goes a long way to prop up the film's central flaws. Review by Matt Cummings If you've read our review of the Michael Bay film 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers Of Benghazi , you know our love for its performances was slightly outweighed by Bay's jingoistic sabre-rattling. One thing we forgot to mention in that assessment was Composer Lorne Balfe's score: it's certainly not what you'd expect from a siege film, but works quite well in shaking up our expectations for this kind of music. If you're used to the bombastic music belting from Bay's association with Hans Zimmer and Steve Jablonsky, 13 Hours is markedly different: it reminds us that there might be a deeper Director Michael Bay here than indistinguishable robots with giant balls and women who need to visit a clothing store. A lot of the 13 tracks have a distinct electronic personality, fed by a chorus of violins and pianos. Hero is a sullen start to things: filled with d

The gripping real-life story also has the stain of Michael Bay all over it. Review by Matt Cummings If you watched with despair and disappointment surrounding the 2013 attack on US bases in Benghazi, Libya you weren't alone. Now 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi has arrived to shake up that bottle once more. And while our leads do a great job keeping the story moving, its director can't deliver his own message without an extreme amount of Michael Bay-ness. Stating that it's an actual 'true story,' 13 Hours unites best buds/ex-military studs Tyrone “Rone” Woods (James Badge Dale) and Jack Silva (John Krasinski) with Dave “Boon” Benton (David Denman) and Mark 'Oz' Geist (Max Martini) as they seek to protect a a poorly-hidden CIA site in one of the world's most dangerous places. From the moment the cash-strapped Silva arrives, the entire nation seems ready for war; but as the foursome will learn, much of that hatred will be focused o
