Morgan looks like Ex Machina 2.0. 

Poor Kate Mara. 

 

If only it looked as good as Ex Machina was.

I get why studios don't release better films on Labor Day weekend but these two offerings are exceptionally sad.  Morgan was already DOA and DB busting loose last weekend just added a few extra bullets.

Because everyone is too busy catching their last whiff of summer. It's the dog days that signify the transitional period between the craziness of summer and the fall/holiday/awards season insanity. Plus most people are distracted by the big festivals at this time.

Light's Out is probably gonna stay numero uno

[robertman2]

Or maybe Suicide Squad will take back that spot

Morgan looks like Slither

It's because the weekend afterwards is going to be completely dead.

I want what he's having.

Meanwhile, Light Between Oceans is another leading man box office bust for Fassbender. I'd actually like to see him take a stab at comedy for a change, I can see him working in a scene-stealing Hemsworth in Ghostbusters kind of role.

FTFY

Morgan brings nothing new as far as storytelling goes and kate mara as usual is very one note, but some of the action scenes are really well shot with tension and dread. Maybe Luke Scott should direct a full on action film next time. I think his directorial style is more like his uncle Tony Scott.

The duldrums of early September.

 

Thank goodness TIFF comes along in a week with reviews for many upcoming movies. Otherwise I'd have no reason to visit the forums until Mag7 in three weeks.

Deadline...

 

If you walked into a movie theater this afternoon for a matinee, you might find that you’re the only one sitting there. That’s how low matinees figures look right now. Any moviegoing activity will register tonight, so what we’re seeing now, especially with Sony/Screen Gems/Studio 6’s  late night horror draw Don’t Breathe, could go higher than its current $13.5M four-day holiday forecast in 3,501 locations. The Fede Alvarez movie’s three-day is on course for $11M, -58% for its opening weekend.

[Krissykins]

Just back from Sausage Party. 

 

That last 10 minutes saved the film, hysterical
