Seasonal programming can be hit or miss for most holidays, but Netflix hit the spoopy jackpot with their quirky series The Curious Creations of Christine McConnell. Part Martha Stewart, part Jim Henson Company house party with a dash of classic Bewitched for good measure, the 6-episode single season series is devilishly delightful on all fronts: It’s […]

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 […]

We’re still deep in the feels from last week’s Shameless episode, “Face It, You’re Gorgeous” which was the last episode for series star Cameron Monaghan who plays Ian. Fans were shocked when he announced (via an Instagram post) that season 9 episode 6 was the swan song for Gay Jesus, one of the most heartbreaking characters of the […]

Did we REALLY need another Halloween film in the franchise? This is a tough question, which really is up to the viewer to answer.

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 […]

A Star Is Born will fill your heart, break it, and use the art of Kintsugi with the resulting pieces. Everyone pretty much knew the 2018 retelling of A Star Is Born was going to be something special, especially when Lady Gaga was attached to star. The true unknown was 4-time Oscar nominee Bradley Cooper directing for the […]
