Cool Stuff: Andrew Kolb’s ‘Galaxy Quest’ Prints Imagine Action Figures That Never Were By Ethan Anderton/June 2, 2016 6:00 am EST Galaxy Quest has become quite the popular movie since its release. It wasn’t a runaway hit at the box office back in 1999, but it still pulled in just over $90 worldwide on a budget of just $45 million, according to Box Office Mojo. If that happened today, there would likely be a sequel fast-tracked into development....

But the past several years have been a rough time for Eddie Murphy fans.

Hilarious ‘Key And Peele’ Sketch Reveals How ‘Gremlins 2’ Was Created By Russ Fischer/Aug. 27, 2015 6:01 pm EST Let’s get one thing straight: Gremlins 2 is a very funny film with a hell of a lot of energy, and one of the best jokes on the studio idea of sequel creation that has ever been made. I love the movie. You can’t ding Gremlins 2 for being ridiculous and excessive, because it knows it is excessive....

LOL: Watch The Inevitable ‘Mad Max: Fury Road’ And ‘Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt’ Mashup By Angie Han/May 20, 2015 3:30 pm EST At first glance, Mad Max: Fury Road and The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt don’t seem to have much in common. One is an explosive thriller set in a dusty dystopian hellscape; the other is a colorful sitcom about a naive young woman trying to make it in the big city. But both are about women who’ve been abducted, and both are about what happens once those women break free....

Critics and audiences were split. It made /Film’s top 10 of 2015 but won’t earn half of what Django Unchained grossed at the box office. The incredible roadshow presentation was marred by theaters unprepared to project 70mm film prints....
