Well, it finally happened! After years of masterful passive aggressive campaigning, Ryan Reynolds finally got Hugh Jackman to come play in the Deadpool arena. There was also the teeny preconceived concern of Disney now owning the merc with the mouth and neutering him. Now sitting ...
Filmmaker Kevin Smith, known for his witty dialogue and eccentric characters, takes us on a nostalgic ride back to the summer of 1986 with The 4:30 Movie, an earnest coming-of-age comedy that centers around three sixteen-year-old friends—Brian, Burny, and Belly—who spend their ...
Few filmmakers catch the Hollywood breaks that M. Night Shyamalan has throughout his filmmaking career. With more stinkers than gems on his resume, the guy was practically run out of Hollywood years ago. Following that unbelievably fruitless string of terrible films beginning with 2006’s ...
This is a movie about ghosts. It’s a movie about not saving lives. It’s also a beautiful film about the preservation of life . . . even when it becomes a question of exactly whose life you are saving. It is also an underrated and often neglected film which just happens to be directed by the one and only Martin ...
Lee Isaac Chung's Twisters, the semi-sequel to 1996’s flying-cow spectacle, Twister, is an adrenaline-pumping, big-screen thrill ride that combines the beauty of meteorological science with the chaos of nature. But at its core, Twisters is a story about people. In fact, Chung has succeeded ...
John Locke from Lost, Admiral Pressman from Star Trek, the benevolent pacifist Alex McSween from Young Guns. All fascinating characters, all uniquely different and all masterfully rendered real through the gifts of Terry O’Quinn. Before all these characters became known to me, the actor—apparently ...
It's time, my friends, time for all of us - the hardworking people of the world - to spend $30 and return to the haunted woods of our youth. Don't worry, though, you won't be in this forest alone. Here, there is a camp, and at that camp, you are never alone . . . for long ...
“You underestimate the power of faith.” With 2021’s Dune, Denis Villeneuve set a very high bar for himself. Delivering the perfect amount of exposition that managed to feel epic yet extremely personal but never overwhelming, the first installment that introduced audiences ...
It seems that Russel Crowe is leaning into the whole satanic menace subgenre of horror films of late. Last year, the actor was hamming it up with a fake italian accent in the ridiculous (but fun!!!) The Pope’s Exorcism and now, while it’s much more of a sober affair (until it isn’t), he stars ...
When Bad Boys, the first installment of the Bad Boys franchise first hit theaters back in 1995, the popularity of the buddy-cop genre was raging with such hits as Die Hard With a Vengeance, Point Break, and The Last Boy Scout tearing up the box office. Even so, Will Smith and ...
Oh, there is nothing that can bring a smile to my face quicker than a Stephen King story sent for review. Whether his books or film/TV adaptations, more often that not it means I’m going to enjoy myself. I am one of his ‘constant readers’ and have devoured most of his adaptations, whether assigned ...
“It doesn’t even feel like they’re trying to make a good movie.” —Gene Siskel 1996 The name Chris Farley always brings a smile to my face and sting in my heart. He was a bright, shining star, the life of the party, the consummate buffoon. I loved what he did. Graduating from SNL to movie star with fellow alum ...
The 90s was the decade where filmmakers embraced the burgeoning new tool of CGI, after films like Jurassic Park and Independence Day showed the scope of what was now possible to get on screen. It seems an everyday thing now, much like a toaster; one can achieve some damn realistic ...
Sequelitus has been an affliction that Hollywood has been marred with since the 80s, only now outshone by remake-itus. There are very few hit films since the 80s that haven’t been given, or forced, a follow-up. Sometimes this has born some tasty fruit indeed, even franchises of enjoyable new ...
Long before zombies were running in 24 Days Later, there was Demons, a cheesy, neon-lit spectacle of Video Nasty delight as coke-fueled punks find themselves outnumbered by a whole lot of quick-moving lime green spewing demons who are just aching for a damn good time as Billy Idol plays ...
