Kaiju fans are eating well these days. Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire is the latest film in the Monsterverse. The new film comes to theaters just months after Toho’s Godzilla Minus One. (We have the details on how to see it in IMAX.) Looking at them side by side, you’d think they might be
If you grew up watching cartoons on Saturday morning in the 1990s, you definitely watched X-Men: The Animated Series. It was a rite of passage to tune into Fox Kids in the morning. Easily the most important series to come out of that block of TV was X-Men: The Animated Series. The show borrowed
When I walked into the theater for Dune: Part Two (Read our review here!), I was both anticipating the best and the worst. I have yet to be disappointed by a Denis Villeneuve film. Each new film he creates is more grand than the last. He continues to try new things. Dune: Part One was a film I was
By the end of the 1990s, cinema was a century old; the art of making movies still evolved in unique ways. Animation just had an overhaul thanks to computers and the popularity of Toy Story. Green screen immersion was getting good enough to transport us into unimaginable places like The Matrix. More

“They’re coming to get you, Barbara” is one of the most famous lines in a movie. Thanks to George Romero we have it. He gave us one of the greatest zombie movies of all time, Night of the Living Dead, and the first time that zombies are flesh eaters. Before this, zombies were just undead
We've all had that moment. I don't normally play horror games, it's just the little slice of the overall genre that I don't connect with very well. I've played through a handful of horror games, but they always seem to get me just that much more scared than a movie would. Resident Evil 1-4, parts
The trailer for A24's The Drama does a great job of keeping things intentionally vague. We meet Charlie (Robert Pattinson) and Emma (Zendaya), a couple about to get married who seem like they know everything about each other… until they very clearly don’t. One drunken night at dinner with
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.
