That there has always been a huge gap between what happened in history and what appears on screen in film and television is hardly a revelation; when Braveheart came out in 1995, with Scots wearing kilts and painting themselves blue, history buffs turned equally blue in fits of apoplexy. Television series like Reign had so […]

Remember the first of the two movies about the White House having taken over by a terrorist siege? No, not White House Down with Channing Tatum, that one was ghastly. The one with Gerard Butler. Hunter Killer is a lot like that in that while no one should ever confuse it with Oscar-level artistry, it is […]

Halloween is a franchise that represents one of the pillars of the modern era of horror films. Introducing us to the William Shatner mask-wearing Michael Myers, it laid the groundwork that would later bring us the likes of Jason and Freddie. Like the other series, while the originals continue to be lauded as touchstone classics […]

Now, don’t panic when I say “national mythos” in the headline of this review. I’m in no way suggesting the moon landing was a myth. Apollo 11 and the wider Apollo project at large is a part of the American psyche and it’s own historic construct – the individuals involved were all larger than life, […]

Thanks to Adam Wolfe for sending this wonderful gallery of cosplay photography from the third day of New York Comic Con – and leaving us wondering what will appear to finish out the weekend on Sunday? There were more than just cosplayers standing for poses, there were others that were breaking out their musical skills as this Mario, […]

The wait is over for at least the first teasings of video from the upcoming season 2 of Starz’ American Gods.

When word first emerged that we were going to be getting a Venom movie, people were excited at the prospect. It was always a popular Spider-Man storyline from the post-Secret Wars era. Then the next news hit: while it’s still a production by Sony (the company who holds the reins on the use of the […]

Watching the trailer for Bad Times at the El Royale gives fans of a certain genre of film a particular thrill. The kind of people who get excited anytime they see a film in the vein of Free Fire, Smokin’ Aces, or anything by Tariatino. Then it comes time to roll into the theater to […]

So by now unless you’ve been living under a rock you are aware that A Star is Born isn’t a new film. In fact this is the fourth time it’s been developed for the screen (going all the way back to 1936), and that doesn’t even count the number of times it’s been made under […]

It’s been 31 years since Shane Black was last involved in a Predator film; the last time he was in front of the camera as the relatively scrawny, eyeglasses-wearing Rick Hawkins, this time he returns at the helm as the writer and director. Between then and now there have been four other Predator films, all […]
