THIS WEEK'S BEST BET:
Aging blonde-bombshell Anita Ekberg gives a full-bodied performance as a sex-crazed sister with some seriously bad habits in the lurid cult classic "Killer Nun" (1979 -- Italy). One of the most notorious "nunsploitation" films, "Killer Nun" tells the sordid story of Sister Gertrude, a disturbed woman of the cloth who degenerates into a perverse mire of drug taking, sexual …
Terminator Dark Fate, 1917, The Grudge, Black and Blue and More in This Week's MPAA Ratings Bulletin

Treats BEFORE Halloween!? The MPAA Ratings Board is being extremely generous this week as a whopping five wide release films are getting their ratings added. Leading the pack is the next (and hopefully better than the last few) Terminator film - Dark Fate, with Arnold Schwarzenegger, Linda Hamilton and Edward Furlong all reprising their roles. Joining the machines uprising includes two war films …
Weekend Box Office: Joker Holds Strong On Top as Addams Family Over-Performs, Gemini Man Struggles
Chris Kavan - wrote on 10/13/19 at 09:52 PM CT
The Joker followed up its October record opening with a dominating second weekend, taking a light drop and easily retaining its first-place position. The new animated Addams Family opened stronger than expected in second place while Will Smith and Ang Lee stumbled with Gemini Man. Jexi barely made the top 10 while Joon-ho Bong's Parasite enjoyed the biggest limited release of the year - and one …
New in Theaters October 11: Gemini Man, The Addams Family, Jexi

With Joker laughing all the way to the bank, setting a new October bar, can any of the three newcomers hope to dethrone the world's most popular villain. Certainly Will Smith - pulling double duty, no doubt - has a chance with Gemini Man. Perhaps comedy will win out - with Adam Devine finding out his new digital personal assistant getting a bit too personal. Or maybe the creepiest, spookiest, …

Frozen II, Playing with Fire and More in This Week's MPAA Ratings Bulletin
Chris Kavan - wrote on 10/08/19 at 07:53 PM CT
Welcome to the family-friendly edition of the MPAA Ratings Bulletin. Two films are worthy of mention this week and both look to be a hit with families - one certainly more than the other. The biggest film this week is a sequel to Disney's hit Frozen - and the biggest question is... will this one also feature a song your kids are going to sing non-stop for the end of time?! All will be revealed …
Weekend Box Office: Joker Laughs Last with Record October Opening
Chris Kavan - wrote on 10/06/19 at 11:04 PM CT
Joker was going to open big - and it delivered on expectations. The divisive film scored the biggest October Thursday ever to go along with its record October opening - helped along by another record - opening in the most theaters in October. While the film stirred up plenty of controversy, in the end audiences were more than happy to see what all the fuss was about - and it should help it carry …
New in Theaters October 04: Joker
Chris Kavan - wrote on 10/02/19 at 10:29 PM CT
Abominable should enjoy it's short-lived win atop the box office, because it's about to be dethroned by the Clown Prince of Crime. That's right, Joker is coming and it looks to top the box office easily - and probably in record fashion. Todd Phillips version of the classic Batman villain has garnered plenty of attention - and controversy - all of which should only help its chances at claiming …
Countdown, Midway, Harriet and More in This Week's MPAA Ratings Bulletin

Is it October already? I guess time flies when you're writing blogs. The MPAA Ratings Boards isn't slacking, either and, lo-and-behold, there is even a horror film gracing the list this week. Granted it's about a killer app (literally - you'll see), so I'm not sure how happy I should be. Otherwise, Roland Emmerich's sure-to-be bombastic war film gets is due as does a biopic about the most famous …
