Horror movies have been in a bad, albeit relatively profitable, rut for the past forty years. Ever since The Omen (1976), Halloween (1978), but especially Friday the 13th (1980) and A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984), the focus has shifted from victim to killer, and from triumphant heroism to elaborate certain death. Since then, virtually…
DetailsPixar, and DreamWorks Animation, had been preparing me for Finding Dory for years. It’s no secret that DreamWorks Animation was built by Jeffrey Katzenberg – the Disney man who had wanted, but was denied, the mouse house cartoon boss post — to snipe at Disney at every opportunity. When these flicks can take up to…
DetailsTickled is so compelling, so thoroughly engrossing, so freaking enjoyable, that it deserves the kind of praise that compels you to the cinema. See this movie. It’s amazing, astonishing, jaw-dropping, revelatory, brilliant. You’ll notice I’m avoiding talking about the film itself; that’s completely deliberate, for the less you know, the better. Ostensibly it’s about the dark underbelly of competitive endurance tickling.…
DetailsEr ma gerd! It’s another kooky week of film news! What the Hell are we gonna find out about now!? Let’s see! Hey, actor Tom Hiddleston is hinting at some things about Thor: Ragnarok, in which he’ll return as that mischievous Loki. We know that Marc Ruffalo is in it as The Hulk, and Tom…
DetailsI have to admit, my expectations were not high for this film. It’s been in production for a long time – seems like a REALLY long time. I played the Blizzard computer game for some time back in the day, but never got into World of Warcraft because I had already invested some time in…

DetailsWelcome to a new week of things going on in the world of film.Maybe there will be some cool, informative news, but hopefully there will be some all-out bat-shit crazy news, too. Prepare to be astounded! Right off the bat, Adam Sandler and his Happy Madison production company are teaming with STX to develop a…
DetailsOr as I like to call it, TOTALLY 80’S X-MEN! People like to hate on this movie, just like they hate on any superhero franchise, and frankly Bryan Singer gives them some fodder. But if you like to see things blow up, like I do, then this is the film for you! Also, if you…
DetailsOk, we’re back with some more wonderful and vexing news in film. Some really notable things going on this time around. Get this: As if any of us with any sense would care, Transformers 5 is happening, and they’re calling it Transformers: The Last Knight. Of course, Michael Bay returns to direct this monstrosity, written…
DetailsAfter seeing The Nice Guys, I feel like the trailers for the film made it really difficult to decide whether it was going to be good. The trailer gives you non-connected moments before and after what feel like the jokes, so you can’t really tell if the movie is going to be funny or not.…
