Any horror fan has seen at least one or two films where a possessed human fights against monsters to keep them under control and contained within them (it’s that whole good vs. evil within us metaphor for beginners); unfortunately it’s also a perfect analog to the new reboot of ‘Hellboy’.

Every year it seems we’re faced with the premise that some studio is going to drop an adaptation of one or more of Stephen King’s stories.

You know, it’s literally laughing all day long, and that’s your job. Like, my job is, I laugh all day…

Over the past 11 years, we’ve all sat through twenty films which together make up Marvel’s Cinematic Universe.

Being fortunate enough to live in San Francisco means that there’s no end of theaters showing off the latest in video and audio technology. With Dolby’s headquarters here their flagship theater is amazing, so what could sound better? How about watching a classic film while the score is performed live by a world-class Symphony. In […]

As painful as it is to imaging that a full forty years have passed since Ridley Scott’s masterpiece of science fiction horror, Alien, first appears on the big screen, we can ease that feeling knowing that 20th Century Fox is about to wow us with an all-new remastering into an UltraHD 4K HDR release.
