Ah, the Cold War. Good times. Good times. And, with Red Dawn leading the way, it produced a great many war-themed movies during the 1980s all with Russia on its mind. One of those, albeit more teenage-driven than Rambo II, is now appearing on 4K Ultra HD. WarGames remains ...

“Some things there’s no moving on from.” The concept of The Banshees of Inisherin is something so simple.

Yes, any and all of his other ...

The unsettling and hazy atmosphere in the pristinely crafted Cure is heavy and hypnotic, and it is only ever broken by bursts of raw emotion or the bluntly-shown murders. Blending the noir with soft mystical elements, writer/director Kiyoshi Kurosawa brings a strong originality ...

There’s a reason Cats had such a successful Broadway run as one of the longest-running musicals in history with over 7,000 performances spanning some 18 years. Many reasons, actually. The biggest being the brilliant songs and catchy tunes from Andrew Lloyd Webber. They are simply wonderful, and ...

Expectations are at an all time high for Director Christopher Nolan. Coming off of the one-two pop culture punch that was The Dark Knight followed by Inception, it might be a little unreal of audiences to expect another shock or surprise from him. In only the ...

“They’re here.” Living in suburbia is HELL in and of itself. There, I said it. It doesn’t help matters at all to learn that your house - no matter how American it may seem - is built on top of a cemetery in which only the headstones were removed ...

The Men Who Stare at Goats has two things going for it right from the get-go. First, its title is so deliciously irresistible it grabs immediate attention. Not quite as boiled-down and succinct as Snakes on a Plane, but definitely more clever. Secondly, we're captivated by an opening title-card ...
