The Judge suffers from too much melodramatic schmaltz to earn our respect or trust. Among the questions raised during our October movie preview , one included the ensemble court drama The Judge : could Actor Robert Downey Jr. rise above his Iron Man persona and deliver a great dramatic performance, while giving its deep cast their individual moments in the sun? The answer is not the strong yes we would have hoped, with the unnecessarily long film barely having enough to keep our attention. Hothead defense attorney Hank Palmer (Downey) lives the fast life, routinely getting the charges against his high-priced clients removed. It's not until the sudden death of his mother that Hank must return to his hometown to bury her and deal with the demons from his past. There's his brother Glen (Vincent D'Onofrio) whose high profile accident in their youth ruined his baseball career, and the girl Hank left behind (Vera Farminga), who now has a daughter. But it's the ...

The king of the Marvel Cinematic Universe isn't in superhero movie mode at the moment. He's out promoting his new film The Judge , and as part of that promotional tour he took some time today to head to Reddit for another installment of that site's popular " Ask Me Anything " feature. Fans asked him about The Judge, his favorite pizza toppings, whether he prefers dogs or cats, his music career and plenty of other things, but, of course, the event couldn't pass without some nerdy talk, so there was also plenty of chatting about Marvel Studios, the future of the Sherlock Holmes franchise and more. The whole AMA is definitely worth reading if you're a Downey fan, but if you just want the geeky highlights, we've gathered them all below. On his awesome facial hair: When asked how he got his always-perfectly-groomed facial hair, Downey brought up memories of his first Marvel appearance in Iron Man. It started with the first Iron Man: a guy nam...

After two terrible months, October shapes up nicely in our On the Radar Preview. We hate being right. Last month, we predicted that the Domestic Box Office for September 2014 would be one of the worst in recent memory, and it sadly kept its promise, slogging in well under 2013 with $273.8m and nearly beating the venerable 2001 haul of $268.5m. The quarter was also the worst since 1996, taking in just $2.5b - yes, that period includes Summer 'blockbusters.' With these infamies behind us, we now move into the pre-Oscar/Holiday film season, a period that usually delivers memorable features while a few even make their case for February considerations. This month, we find an appealing mix of WWII tank drama, spine-tingling horror, as well as a few genuine Oscar contenders. Here is our On the Radar preview for October 2014: Annabelle (October 1st) Plot: A couple begin to experience terrifying supernatural occurrences involving a vintage doll shortly after their hom...
