As someone who appreciates a great movie soundtrack, I am personally overjoyed that the people behind Whistle didn't choose to include the ridiculous "Blow The Whistle" by Too $hort. Instead, we're treated to a movie that has modern elements but feels very much like an old-school slasher/monster
We're in what I like to call the Charles Bronson-path for Jason Statham and his career. I'm sure he and his agent know exactly the type of roles that his fans are looking for, and they usually deliver. With Shelter, they take the "daddy's home" formula of knowing that everything is going to be
The premise for Send Help is devilishly simple. Two "colleagues", if you can call them that, a lower-level employee at a huge multinational company, and the nepo-baby CEO, crash land on a deserted island and have to brave the elements. So those dynamics that exist in the office are thrown out the
Wonder Man is a bit of a strange Marvel series. It does have connections to the past with references and Trevor Slattery, but for the most part, this is a standalone story. It tells the tale of Simon Williams, a struggling actor looking to be more than just background characters who die in American
Return To Silent Hill adapts the most popular and seminal game in the series, Silent Hill 2. That game is among the favorites of fans out there, and I've never played it. So going into Return To Silent Hill was a bit of an experience. After watching the film and reading the synopsis of the game,
It is incredibly rare that a sequel completely outdoes the previous movie in a saga like the 28 Days-Weeks-Years Later movies. I did not care for 28 Years Later. It felt episodic, melodramatic, and the best parts of the movie were with Dr. Kelson (Ralph Fiennes). Well, 28 Years Later: The Bone
The simple distillation of Primate comes down to this: Rabies-infested chimp stalks and kills pretty college girls. That could be enough to sell a movie in the '70s or '80s. Good thing we're seemingly back in a period of the animal attack movie making a comeback. Primate comes from writer/director
There was a great worry that Stranger Things would not be able to stick the landing. It wasn't quite closing out the Skywalker Saga for Star Wars, but it was close. A series that was a decade of cultural juggernaut. This was the thing that put Netflix on the map, the dragon they've been chasing
There's a growing trend in cinema right now, and that is the trend of movies being fun again. Just a good old-fashioned time at the theater (or home since streaming accounts for most viewership these days) filled with laughs and action and heart that remind you why you go to escape in the first
There was a time when the stoner comedy was a reliable genre, particularly among the coveted demographic of young men. I remember those late nights in the college dorm quite fondly. Up late working on a paper last minute, ready for the weekend, and a friend suggests ordering a pizza and popping in
The last few episodes of HBO's The Pitt have been a whirlwind of activity. Though not covered here, the show ran the gamut from staff assaults to ICE's appearance. The latter was a prescient addition to the storyline given the current climate in America, and something the show portrayed correctly.
