Mr. Holmes Review

For many people, there's a point where fictional characters become as real as their friends and family thanks to the kind of emotional connection they feel to these fictional creations. Maybe it stems from solid writing or some really funny one-liners, but whatever the case, such fictional entities suddenly take on a life of their own.

Will Ant-Man Be Huge Or Minuscule At The Box Office This Weekend?

Let's not mince words for a second; if Ant-Man underperforms this weekend, that's entirely on that movies shoulders. They can't blame the success of Minions for it's shortcomings; just last month a summer blockbuster (Jurassic World) and an animated family movie (Inside Out) managed to coexist peacefully, while past Marvel films have faced even greater competition at the box office (remember when the first Captain America movie managed to beat out the second weekend of the last Harry Potter movie, which had the then biggest opening weekend of all-time?). Like I said, if things don't go solidly for Ant-Man this weekend, there's no one to shift the blame to.
