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.
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

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
With the summer movie season starting and more options to catch at your local movie theater and at home, we thought a weekly guide might help you figure out what might catch your interest. With holdovers like Backrooms and Obsession still going strong, the marketplace expands with even more choices

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

We've had haunted house movies. Sure, but have we had a haunted van movie? That's what Passenger amounts to at its most distilled form. This is a horror movie about a demonic force (the opposite of Saint Christopher) that has been chasing and killing travelers for hundreds of years. Basically, the
Magnificently rendered and beautifully shot, Samurai and the Prisoner is endlessly entertaining even as it sprawls about the walls of the castle and keeps its measured, somber approach. It blends a classic murder mystery with historical epic, which is a strange combination that someone only as
