This week The Nun, the latest entry in the Conjuring series of films will begin haunting theaters. 2017’s Annabelle: Creation was a solid frightfest; and I had excitedly settled in to watch The Nun hoping it would have been cut from a similar cloth. When you’re coming into the fifth film in a horror franchise, one […]

We had such high hopes for Brian Henson’s The Happytime Murders.

Crazy Rich Asians has landed fresh off the boat and is going to make a huge splash regardless of final box office numbers or the Rotten Tomatoes score. In a similar vein to other recent “it’s about time” cinematic entries like Wonder Woman and Black Panther, its overall impact with its virtually entirely Asian casting […]
