A little over 50 years ago, author Michael Crichton changed the world of pop culture with his film Westworld. Originating the concept of a computer virus, the writer/director delivered a sci-fi vision that still inspires to this very day. While HBO’s latest crack at this tale came to an abrupt
If you feel inclined to check out Rotten Tomatoes before heading out to see Mortal Kombat II this weekend, you might be surprised to see that critics have surprisingly responded positively compared to the usual assessment that video game movies receive from them. Currently, the film holds a 68

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
