“Avengers: Infinity War” surprised us with an early release to get the summer season going. Normally, I’d be pretty stoked after that, but I have to admit that I’m not all that excited for this summer movie slate, but nevertheless I’ve gotten rid of the section of these seasonal previews that talks about movies I’m […]

I gotta be honest with you — I’m not loving the options this holiday season the way I often am. It’s “Star Wars” and little else for this movie lover.

The fall usually has something for everyone, and heralds the first wave of the films everyone will be talking about come December and January. There are blockbuster options (“Thor” and “Blade Runner” sequels), plenty of horror (“It” opens tomorrow), thrillers (“The Snowman,” “mother!”) and prestige films (“Mark Felt,” “LBJ”). As per usual, I’ve got 15 […]

The summer blockbuster slate is the most anticipated and heavily scrutinized of all the movie seasons. Bloated with sequels but always containing hidden gems, there’s little certainty outside of a few films which ones will dominate the box office or be hailed as something worth going indoors for. Which sequels will live up to the […]

January and February give us a mix of the new year’s worst and last year’s best, with the occasional new year gem. Many 2016 award-contender films will opt not to compete during the holiday season and instead release to a wide audience in January so they only have to compete with lesser quality wide releases, […]

As holiday season rolls around, so does award season, and while in past year’s the top awards contenders have been released on a wide variety of dates, some of the real winners look to be hiding among this very promising slate of films. In fact, the slate is so promising I opted for 12 anticipated […]

Summer 2016 was a pretty big disappointment. Don’t ask me, because I barely saw any movies in theaters this summer, but I was following the critical reception to many of the summer’s blockbusters and the box office receipts, and I saw a sad state of affairs. I would argue that’s a large part of why I wasn’t […]

Hard to believe this is my seventh summer movie preview on Movie Muse! Like most summers, the 2016 May through August movie slate is chock-full of sequels, and movies that hope to generate sequels. At this time every year, there’s so much promise, and by the end we’re left with movies that met our expectations, […]

The holiday season is when a more diverse crowd comes out to the movies, many of who are aware that these will be the films talked about in January. Here are my 10 most anticipated based on actual buzz and my own interest, followed by five films I’m skeptical of this year.

Fall season is festival season (this weekend brings us the always-anticipated Toronto International Film Festival), which means awards season is (somehow) right around the corner. You won’t find very many blockbusters on the slate from Labor Day through “Mockingjay,” but as we’ve seen more and more, a few of these films will be recognized come the Oscars.

The best part about summer movie season is it starts with a bang the first weekend in May and heralds the coming of better movies and better weather. As a blogger, nothing is more fun that putting together a summer movie preview. Just about anything could turn out to be one of the year’s biggest […]

Spring movie usually get us in the mood for the summer blockbusters, but you have to be selective to avoid the duds, and there’s a mine field out there this March and April. Here are my 10 most anticipated films of the season, along with five you should be a bit wary of. These are […]

The truth is that January and a majority of February are really about catching up on 2014 awards contenders. Hollywood knows it too, which is why January, especially, is considered a dumping ground for bad movies. Heck, that’s why last year I did my “Top 10 Movies of 2013” list in January because I needed […]

Just when you think you’ve gotten away from Awards Season, it comes creeping right back. This year’s holiday movie slate has a ton of possible Oscar contenders with no clear favorites just yet, along with some big third installments in major movie franchises to balance out all the drama. Here are my 10 most anticipated […]

The dash to awards season has begun, signified by the opening of the Toronto International Film Festival this past weekend, which served as the debut of many of the films on my fall watch list. So it’s time to leave those summer blockbusters behind, because you won’t find many of them in this year’s fall […]
