[rwp-review-recap id=”0″] Hollywood is frequently criticized about it’s never-ending recycling of novels and films without adding a drop of anything approaching inspired creativity. It’s the same story time after time, with only new faces speaking the same lines; Jane Austin’s classic 1813 novel, Pride and Prejudice has been adapted for the screen no less than […]

If you read my review of the first episode of The X-Files revisit, then you know I was NOT impressed at all.  It felt like series creator/writer/director Chris Carter wanted to a) piss off the Xphile faithful, b) do away with almost every scrap of 9 seasons worth of mythology, and c) force the now rusty […]

I have been a long time X Files fan.  As in, I watched the pilot when it aired so long ago on FOX with my mom, and it became our weekly bonding show.  Well, aside from the various Star Treks that were on at the time.  But there was something fabulous about the show, many things really.  The […]

(Editor’s Note:  This comes to us from AC contributor Gwen “Gwendles-I-Will-Fight-You” Reza, who visited the brand new San Francisco location of the ever popular Alamo Drafthouse movie theater.  I can’t wait to check the thing out.) I have a confession to make Aggressors, I love terrible B-movies. I love ridiculous, over-the-top gory Horror movies with […]

I need to start by complaining, and I’m sorry in advance.  It seems to be an ongoing complaint that when I go to a screening (or even a regular showing), but the amount of entitled assholes (both sexes) who go to movies to talk at full volume and laugh during the ‘high tension’ moments is […]

[rwp-review-recap id=”0″] I am one of the easiest lays in the world for thriller and horror films. They can be high or low brow. They can be big budget or something made off a student’s camcorder. If the story is gripping and the acting solid (or at least heartfelt), I’m in. I don’t even need […]

I will start with saying I’ve not read the book series “The Original Shannara Trilogy” that this new series on MTV is based on.  Most of the time, I have at least some passing understanding of the source material before I dive into watching a tv adaptation.  But this time, I’m going off of my […]

Let me start by saying that yes, it IS quite a world and age we live in when the most anticipated films are superhero based and the classic cosmic conflict brought to life again.  There is something to be said for the “Age of Fandom”, where it seems you cannot toss a training droid without […]

It’s strange to think the end of an era is upon us; the last Hunger Games film opens in theaters (officially) tonight.  The young adult trilogy of books was first published by Suzanne Collins in 2008, and the first of four films first arrived in theaters in 2012.  The film series turned Jennifer Lawrence (and Katniss […]

(editor’s note:  This review comes to us from AC contributor and EXTREMELY talented voice actor, Jason Marnocha.) SPECTRE’s back. Back again. SPECTRE’s back. Tell a friend. Overall I’d say I certainly wasn’t disappointed with Spectre…to a point, but I’ll get to that. This will be a SPOILER FREE review, so no worries there. I’m incredibly grateful to have […]
