HOTEL TRANSYLVANIA 3: SUMMER VACATION is once again directed by Genndy Tartakovsky who is mostly known for making childhood favorites of mine like Samurai Jack and or Dexter’s Laboratory. Which I must mention due to the fact that this whole franchise so far has brought me that feeling of sitting down to watch a cartoon network show again… and I mean the original ones not the garbage ones they have on today. Hotel Transylvania 3 once again brings back this wonderful feeling that makes its so enjoyable to either go with some animation nerds of yours or even go with your family to enjoy. This film has jokes for adults and kids alike. I found myself chuckling and smiling the whole entire time as I watch all these different types of monsters go on a trip to the Bermuda Triangle. Yes I said the Bermuda Triangle, this series has always felt creative to me bringing together all these classic monsters that we know in love from monster films of the past. Plus this film gets us out of the Ho

In Sony Pictures Animation's Hotel Transylvania 3 , Mavis surprises Dracula with a family voyage on a luxury monster cruise ship so he can take a summer vacation from providing everyone else's vacation at the hotel, and the rest of Drac's Pack cannot resist tagging along. The monsters are all having a great time, indulging in all of the shipboard fun the cruise has to offer, from monster volleyball to colossus sized buffets and exotic excursions, but then the unexpected happens as Drac falls for the intriguing-yet-dangerous captain of the ship. Balancing family, friends, and a budding romance might just be too much, even for the most powerful vampire.

But little do they know that Drac’s grumpy and ver

Hotel Transylvania 2 ’s animated antics aside, Adam Sandler could use a win at the moment, what with Pixels under performing and the catastrophic failure of The Cobbler to keep his more serious indie acting cred afloat. The first release from his multi-film Netflix deal, Western farce The Ridiculous 6 is part of his attempt to see if an original serving of his broad comedy stylings will work for the streaming service’s audience, and the first trailer is now online. Watch the trailer after the Jump... Sandler stars as an outlaw named Tommy, AKA White Knife, an orphan raised by Native Americans who discovers that he has five half-brothers (including the likes of Luke Wilson, Terry Crews, Rob Schneider and Taylor Lautner ) and decides that they’ll go on a mission to find their wayward, deadbeat dad. Oh, and they’ll keep committing robberies along the way. Naturally, this leads to the authorities (embodied in part by Will Forte ) trying to track them down. We’re in standard S

Hotel Transylvania 2 is more of the same, but is that good enough? Review by Matt Cummings In a year of gross-out humor, dark and dreary landscapes, and even some animated films that were frankly way too young for children, Hotel Transylvania 2 might have found itself the odd monster banished to the Forest of Forgotten Genres. Luckily, it returns to re-stake its claim to the beliefs that funny doesn't have to always be gross, and that little kids still have a place in Hollywood's big budget machine. Fresh off a marriage to the lovable loser Jonathon (voiced by Andy Samberg), Mavis (voiced by Selena Gomez) soon delivers the baby Dennis whom her father Dracula (Adam Sandler) is convinced is a vampire just waiting to arrive. But Mavis isn't onboard and thinks her new family should move to California where Jonathon's parents (Nick Offerman and Molly Shannon) represent the kind of life that Dennis truly deserves. But Dracula is a tough customer, and so he

Here are the movies that got the worst sunburn according to THR . Summer 2015 is expected to go down as one of the biggest in history in terms of overall revenue, but there were a number of high-profile bombs that have left some Hollywood studios smarting. Big stars that got dinged include George Clooney (Tomorrowland), Adam Sandler (Pixels) and Bradley Cooper (Aloha). Directors that took it on the chin were Brad Bird (Tomorrowland), Josh Trank ( Fantastic Four ), Cameron Crowe (Aloha) and Guy Ritchie (The Man From U.N.C.L.E.) Here are five big bombs of the season when accounting for budget, marketing spend and revenue the film can expect to earn in ancillary markets. Grosses are through Sept. 4, with several titles still in release worldwide. Tomorrowland (Disney, May 22) Budget: $190 million Global gross: $208.4 million Expected loss: $120 million-$150 million Marvel's Avengers: Age of Ultron ($1.4 billion) and Pixar's Inside Out ($703 million), which is s

The video game invasion of Pixels is easily Game Over. Review by Matt Cummings It's official: Adam Sandler is The Worst Well-Known Actor Alive. With a resume of infamy that includes the gross ( I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry ), the totally inappropriate ( That's My Boy ), and the plain boring ( Grown Ups 2 ), the SNL alum seems far away from the heady days of Happy Gilmore . His newest travesty Pixels is much like the rest: filled with promise but utterly devoid of results. When video game masters Brenner (Sandler), Chewie (Kevin James), and the socially awkward Ludlow (Josh Gad) compete in a local competition, they are bested by the showboat Eddie (Peter Dinklage). Fast-forward 30 years and the foursome are reunited when an alien force invades Earth after receiving a space capsule filled with transmissions of various 80's games that they dominated so well. Together with Chewie now as President of the United States, they are joined by Lt. Colonel V

Netflix has been making big inroads to acquire original content to go alongside the back catalogs it buys up. The company has made plenty of moves with TV, but is ramping up its efforts to make movies, dropping cash on deals with the likes of Adam Sandler and Idris Elba . Now it has made its biggest commitment yet, grabbing distribution rights to War Machine , which will star Brad Pitt . Animal Kingdom and The Rover’s director David Michod will be behind the camera, and he’s also adapted the script from late journalist Michael Hastings’ book The Operators: The Wild And Terrifying Inside Story Of America’s War In Afghanistan . Pitt will star as a top general in the US armed forces, overseeing the conflict and a mission that is riddled with problems, corruption and cock-ups. It’s all loosely based on General Stanley McChrystal, who oversaw the US operation in Afghanistan and thought himself the bee’s knees until he badmouthed the White House, was recalled and resigned.

You have to feel for the big, iconic cities of the world. If they’re not being lashed by crummy weather, they’re being targeted by alien invaders and other cinematic catastrophes. With Pixels , giant versions of video-game enemies are attacking locales such as London, Paris and San Francisco. Yes, the likes of the Golden Gate Bridge, the Eiffel Tower and the Houses of Parliament are once more being assaulted, this time by Pac-Man, Centipede and Space Invaders. It’s all in service of Adam Sandler’s new action-comedy, which finds extra-terrestrials misreading video feeds of classic arcade games as a declaration of war. They decide to attack us using versions of ships and other icons from games and mankind has to fight back. To help out, the US president (Kevin James) recruits his childhood friend and former video-game champ (Sandler) to lead a group of old-school arcade players. Please Leave A Comment-
