Ralph Breaks the Internet is delightful, charming, has more heart than Ready Player One, and a better internal logic than Tron: Legacy. In short, it’s a blast of a ride and well worth your own ride to the theater. Be warned-there’ll likely be a large number of kids in the audience, so depending on your […]

If you’ve seen the trailer for the latest take on the Robin Hood story, you have to have some inkling of what you’re about to get into. Anyone looking for a historic take on a mythic character and legend should quietly move on along and see if you can uncover Showtime’s old Sherwood series. However […]

Readers of this are going to wonder- is it true? Is Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald as lackluster and joyless as the prior films? We can cut right to the chase and say no, that’s not the case. Crimes isn’t one of the best of the films, but neither is it terrible by any stretch […]

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 […]

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.

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 […]
