With just one day to go until its release worldwide, the Most Anticipated Movie of the Summer (our emphasis) The Dark Knight Rises has already clocked up a mouth-watering $25 million in advance ticket sales. Christopher Nolan’s final Batman behemoth is capitalising on a viral marketing campaign and the anticipation of cinema-goers everywhere as it looks […]

WEEKEND BOX OFFICE RESULTS: JUNE 22-24
June 25th, 2012 
Justin Proper I really do not think it would be a stretch to say that this weekend would have been easy to predict for the top box office slot. Pixar’s new movie Brave claimed the title raking in more green than the lush Scottish countryside most of the film was set in. Honest Abe failed to be a […]

UTG’s Best Of 2012 (So Far…)
June 22nd, 2012 James Shotwell Seems like just yesterday we were rolling into 2012 with our “5 Bands To Watch” feature, but a glance at the calendar over the last week reminded the UTG staff that the year is already half gone. Discussing our triumphs and failures over the past few months lead to a discussion on the art that […]

WEEKEND BOX OFFICE RESULTS: June 15-17
June 18th, 2012 Justin Proper It was a slow weekend for moviegoers, probably due to the new releases available to see. Rock Of Ages barely beat out Snow White And The Huntsman for a number three spot, most likely because no one under the age of forty is going to watch a movie where a 50 year old Tom Cruise is a […]

WEEKEND BOX OFFICE RESULTS: June 1-3
June 4th, 2012 Justin Proper The beginning of June saw the rise of another “blockbuster” as Snow White And The Huntsman takes the top spot at the box office last weekend. Somehow people managed to love the fairy tale rehash despite it being met with some pretty bad reviews. It goes to show you that the producers in Hollywood are great […]

WEEKEND BOX OFFICE RESULTS: May 25-27
May 28th, 2012 Justin Proper The Avengers have finally been dethroned as Men In Black 3 takes the top spot at the box office this week. After nearly a month on top The Avengers drops to second place while the family friendly Will Smith movie, Men In Black 3 wins over American audiences despite luke-warm reviews. Battleship continues to sink, and newly released Chernobyl […]

WEEKEND BOX OFFICE RESULTS: May 18-20
May 21st, 2012 Justin Proper Once again The Avengers can not be defeated. Marvel’s hit superhero movie tops the chart yet again, making more than the three new major releases made combined. Taking second place this week was Battleship, which has proved that a board game no one plays after they turn 14 is a bad subject for a movie. […]

This weekend the superhero flick tops the box office numbers for a second weekend in a row, beating out Avatar for the record for best second weekend ticket sales. Dark Shadows opened at the number two […]

BOX OFFICE PREVIEW: May 4th
May 4th, 2012 Justin Proper This weekend’s movie choices could be summed up in four words: go see The Avengers. All the studios played it safe and decided not to open any other movies this weekend on a large scale, but if you live in a major city and really hate superheroes there are a few other options. The Avengers […]

Soundgarden Release “Live To Rise” Video
May 3rd, 2012 James Shotwell Soundgarden have unveiled the official music video for “Live To Rise.” It may have been fifteen years since Soundgarden released new material, but the success of “Live To Rise” has proven that fans are still hungry for more. The video mostly performance shots spliced between badass shots from Marvel’s The Avengers, but believe me when […]

SCENE & HEARD: “The Avengers”
May 3rd, 2012 James Shotwell Written by UTG critic Grace Duffy, Scene & Heard takes a look at the music that makes our favorite films so memorable. Whether it’s the 400-piece orchestra Christopher Nolan used for The Dark Knight, or the dozen or so bands that contributed to the soundtrack of Top Gun, there is no denying the impact music has on movies […]

MOVIE REVIEW: The Avengers
April 30th, 2012 James Shotwell Film: The Avengers Director: Joss Whedon We come to it at last. The great cinematic moment of our time. Take a deep breath in, for nerdvana is here. The Avengers (or, as it’s hilariously titled in my neck of the woods, Marvel’s Avengers Assemble) have finally come together on the world stage, realising that utopian […]
