Remakes are the new sequels if the 2016 slate of films proves anything, and there have certainly been both hits and misses. We went back to Peace Rock for the bare necessities of life in The Jungle Book. We asked a new generation who you gonna call in the female-headlined Ghostbusters....

I'm always in search of bold, refreshing filmmaking that pushes the bounds of what cinema can be. Rarely, do I actually find it. On this otherwise ordinary weekend at the movies, I think we've found something special, something extraordinary. The vast majority of films go into production for several months. Well, on this weekend, we have a movie that went into production fo... Continue reading ...

There have been a lot of bad movies this year, and the pain just won't stop for whatever reason.

What I will delve into are the many, many victims of gun violence and some of the mal... Continue reading ...

Unlike Hollywood movies, it's very rare that an indie film gets a sequel. With the exception of some sick horror films, this just doesn't happen too often. You won't see Midnight in Paris Deux, 1000 Days of Summer, or Moonrise Kingdom 2. Even when they generate big profits, they're not coming back to theaters again. The exception to this rule is the Before series from Richard Linklater. First, there was Bef... Continue reading ...

Halloween is on the horizon. That means it's the season of crappy horror movies! That's unfortunately what we as moviegoers are subjected to on an annual basis. A couple of long-running franchises such as Paranormal Activity or Saw release their next terrible installments, and a few newcomers typically fall flat. This weekend, we have a horror newbie...
