Stephen Spielberg’s Jaws is considered the first summer blockbuster. A film that everybody and their dog went to see and raked in an obscene amount of money. With a shower of green in their eyes, Hollywood immediately cordoned onto this and thus the never-ending pleasure/ailment ...

In 1986, director Oliver Stone delivered a war film to counter all the John Wayne-esque, American:good/Foreign opponents:bad narratives of the past with Platoon. As a Vietnam War vet himself, he had a unique place within the industry to show the shades of grey within any fighting force, forcing ...

The late and great Wes Craven will forever be known as the father of Freddy Krueger. But that wasn’t all he accomplished. A horror mainstay, no question, but also a commercial pioneer (not once, but twice) who triggered a renaissance for cold genres. Not only did he put New Line Cinema on the ...

The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest, The final movie based on Stieg Larsson’s wildly popular Millennium Trilogy, sadly rides off, not into a glorious sunset to bask in the proud achievement of having wrapped up the series on a high note, but rather into a hospital Intensive Care Unit to lick its bedsores. Director Daniel Alfredson and screenwriter Jonas Frykberg (who also collaborated on the second installment) should have been reminded to change the bed sheets and occasionally roll this yawner over.

The opening scene of The Girl in the Spider’s Web, the new film by director Fede Alvarez, hints at something really special. The darkened scene features actress Claire Foy’s character in full-on black leathers, with lighted cigarette dangling from her rigid lips, and shorn locks ...

It’s been five years since Robert Mccall (Denzel Washington) slayed the Mandalorian (Pedro Pascal) and went back to his marital home. For this originally never guaranteed third entry, you better believe I was first in line to see it opening day. Are these movies the pinnacle of Washington’s ...

There’s a delicious element of B-movie camp that snakes its way through the frames of director Neil Jordan’s new film called Greta. Jordan knows he has crafted a technically astute psychological thriller with tinges of Hitchcock and Fincher. But the moments where he ...

In general, it seems (at least to me) that remakes are almost never a good idea. It’s quite hard to name a remake that is even able to hold a candle to the original version. But that doesn’t stop many studios and directors from taking on the challenge. And with Michel Hazanavicius’s latest project ...

Never before have the loves of speed and killer tunes come together so magically as they do in filmmaker Edgar Wright’s latest, a genre-crossing masterpiece with music on the brain and burnt rubber in its soul. It’s called Baby Driver and it’s a mob movie. It’s also a heist movie ...
