This weekend sees the release of another reimagining of one of the most prolific Universal movie monsters with Lee Cronin's The Mummy, a supernatural horror take on an IP that goes back as far as 1932. This isn't the first time that The Mummy franchise has been dug up for a new audience, and while
This year’s installment of CinemaCon has brought some pretty exciting twists, turns, and announcements. So if any studio presentation should get the closing spot in the line up, the one where the real big guns are brought out, it has to be that of Disney. With Josh D’Amaro’s recent promotion
Ever since starting her Kellyoke feature on her daytime talk show, Kelly Clarkson has lovingly been referred to as a song thief. That’s thanks to her covers being so buzzed about that when they’ve dropped, that tune is pretty much hers. Apparently the team working on Disney’s Hollywood
Putting your name in the title of the movie is a bold move for anyone not named Steven Spielberg or Quentin Tarantino, even if it's just to separate it from familiar IP. I don't know that Lee Cronin quite has the repertoire to demand such a thing, but in his latest film, he most certainly works to

Sometimes the best way to access the core of a film is to let it take you over completely. Locked behind metaphorical dialogue and an obtuse artistry, the key to the door is simply letting it all in and fester inside until the understanding comes to light. You can't second-screen a film like this,
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
