Before heading off to see the new live-action Masters of the Universe, which is so far certified fresh at 75 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, it would be a disservice to not look back at the first time He-Man and Eternia made it to the big screen in live-action form. In 1987, the Mattel franchise went
This weekend saw the release of what some box office analysts are calling the first bomb summer, with the arrival of Masters of the Universe. The film, carrying a reported $170-200 million budget, opened to $29.4 million domestically and $54.4 million worldwide, which is not the best start for a
In just two weeks, Obsession has gone from a well-reviewed horror film expected to do decent business to a bona fide sensation that has become part of box-office history. The Curry Barker-directed film about a wish gone horribly wrong already impressed when it opened above expectations during
Comic book movies tend to be a subject of intense secrecy. That is, unless you're DC Films co-CEO/creative mastermind James Gunn, an expert when it comes to the line of what can and cannot be shared. With Supergirl’s promotional blitz moving us closer to its late June debut, Gunn is turning out
THIS FEATURE CONTAINS SPOILERS ABOUT OBSESSION. PROCEED WITH CAUTION Horror fans and critics alike are currently obsessed with Curry Barker's Obsession and rightfully so. It's one of the best horror films of the last few years and one where, as you're watching it, you feel as if you're witnessing a
No one could've possibly called this ahead of the film's wide release, but the horror film Obsession has found itself in a pretty rare league for the genre, where Oscar nominations are a distinct possibility for what will go down as the surprise hit of the year. After opening to $17.2 million a
Time moves in crazy ways, especially in the world of an entertainment journalist. It feels like yesterday that we were all learning about the shock cancellation of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. We were all in different places at that point; myself doubly so - as I was at a different outlet.
As the second entry of the new DC Universe after last summer's Superman, Clark Kent's cousin Kara Zor-El was expected to soar high with the release of Supergirl. Interest seemed to be there when it was announced that the film would be an adaptation of Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow by Tom King and
Oftentimes, the best comic book movies operate as more than excuses for eye-popping CGI and action-packed extravaganzas. It's in those films that they transcend the cliches of the genre and speak to human experiences and emotional depth. This is why Peter Parker and Spider-Man have resonated with
If you've already seen The Odyssey, this weekend is the perfect time to check out The Invite, a comedy from A24 and directed by Olivia Wilde. It made a splash out of the Sundance Film Festival, and it is building buzz as a true awards season contender. An adult comedy that is not only funny, it's
In Christopher Nolan we trust. With a career spanning 13 films across blockbusters, high-concept sci-fi movies, and historical cinematic dramas, Nolan has proven himself to be one of the best, if not the best, filmmakers of the 21st century. With his latest film, The Odyssey, Nolan once again
With a filmography as incredible as Christopher Nolan's, there is bound to be one film that gets lost in the shuffle of his own excellence. In the case of the prolific director who has arguably never made a bad movie, the film in question is 2002's Insomnia. The thriller was Nolan's third feature
Sometimes you can sense when a film isn't going to make a splash. The right amount of awareness isn't there, or there is a general disdain towards a project that has turned the masses off. The live-action Moana, which is an adaptation of the popular Disney animated franchise, falls into the latter.
The name Walter Hill may not be instantly recognizable to everyone, but his work certainly is. The legendary filmmaker is set to be honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award at the 21st Fantastic Fest in Austin, Texas. Hosted and presented by The Alamo Drafthouse, Hill will also be the first
It makes sense and you can feel Momoa’s love and passion in the role. He’s having an absolute blast and it shows, making viewers hopeful for a solo Lobo film or at least an appearance in more entries.
Minions & Monsters, the latest offshoot of Illumination's Despicable Me franchise and the third of its films following the yellow underlings known as Minions, is here! Once again it's a delightful showcase of our Twinkie-coded henchmen who charm, search for another big villain to follow, kill
Indulging every absurd idea that pops into his head, the film unfolds with propulsive vibrance and unshackled execution. That approach turns out to be a bit of a gift and a curse for Riley; a gift in the sense that we get something fresh and original, but a curse because its unbridled approach
Though marital arts action cinema is vast and varied, it is rare for one to elevate the genre and push it forward. There have been few recently - The Raid comes to mind, and while not technically "martial arts" I'd argue John Wick counts - that feel as if something new and special is happening.
This is a first for Marvel Studios and their Marvel Television branch for their Special Presentations. We've had others like Werewolf By Night that introduced a new character, but not one for an already established character like The Punisher. The Punisher: One Last Kill comes off the heels of his
