Looking at the Weekend: Dec. 23-25, 2016
It’s going to be a fascinating weekend. With Rogue One likely to take the top spot for a second week, second place is up for grabs and I think the favorite would have to be Sing, which is the first major animated film in weeks and the Christmas holiday is a perfect release window. Passengers…

Precursor: 10th Detroit Critics Nominations & Awards (2016)
Detroit Film Critics announced nominees and winners, but their website doesn’t reference when they were announced posted, so I have no official dates.

The DVD Report #495
New This Week Meryl Streep is an extremely lucky actress.
