It seems like everything that James Cameron touches, turns to gold. But can "Alita: Battle Angel" - a film co-wrote and produced by Cameron - overcome what looks to be an underwhelming box office and middling reviews thus far? I sure hope so, because "Alita: Battle Angel" is a ground-breaking, breath-taking achievement in filmmaking...a game-changing epic in the vein of "Lord of the Rings," "Avatar," or dare it be said, "Star Wars." Yes, "Alita: Battle Angel" is frickin' awesome, and despite its early-year release, it's guaranteed a spot as one of the best films of 2019.

It's been a long, cold winter so far at the box office, but there are more than a few films opening this weekend that look to generate some heat...albeit one of which is mired in controversy. Yes, the long-awaited sequel to "The LEGO Movie" opens Friday, but so does the latest Liam Neeson film...and if you've been paying attention at all, you'll know that Neeson has been in the press lately for all the wrong reasons. Many are predicting that the negative buzz will all but kill the chances that "Cold Pursuit" does well, which could open the door for an R-rated comedy to have a good weekend.
