Killing Them Softly (Blu-ray)

February 21, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Scoot McNairy, Ben Mendelsohn, James Gandolfini, Ray Liotta, Brad Pitt
Director: Andrew Dominik
Running Time: 97 mins
Certificate: 18
Release Date: February 25th 2013

When you start watching Killing Them Softly, you might be confused about why this Brad Pitt film seems to have a distinct lack of Brad Pitt. He doesn’t turn up until nearly 30 minutes in, but certainly makes his presence felt when he does arrive.

Before he comes on-screen we follow Frankie (Scoot McNairy) and Russell (Ben Mendelsohn), two small-time hoods who are talked into ripping off a mob-controlled card game. As you’d expect the local criminal fraternity isn’t top impressed by this, and so hire Jackie (Pitt) to find out who’s responsible and hunt them down. [Read more…]

Skyfall Rises Back To The Top Of The US Box Office

December 10, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

The couple of weeks after Thanksgiving always tend to be dominated by holdovers at the US box office, but this year it’s been particularly light on new entries, seemingly because everyone is running scared of The Hobbit, which is expected to completely take over cinemas this coming weekend.

This has allowed Skyfall to rise back to the top of the US box office on its fifth weekend, taking $11.4 million over the three days. It’s not a huge amount to make it to the top of the chart, and indeed overall it’s been the third worst weekend at the boox office this year. However it’s good news for Skyfall, as no movie has toped the box office on its fifth weekend since 2010.

The only major new release tanked, with the Gerard Butler soccer themed rom-com Playing For Keeps taking just $6 million on its first three days.

Take a look below for the US box office top 10 for the weekend of December 7th-9th.

Rank Title Weekend Gross (millions) Total Gross to date (millions)
1 Skyfall $11.4 $261.6
2 Rise Of The Guardians $10.5 $61.9
3 The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2 $9.2 $268.7
4 Lincoln $9.1 $97.3
5 Life Of Pi $8.3 $60.8
6 Playing For Keeps $6.0 $6.0
7 Wreck-It Ralph $4.9 $164.4
8 Red Dawn $4.2 $37.2
9 Flight $3.1 $86.2
10 Killing Them Softly $2.7 $11.7
