There are two camps out there, or so it seems. You either love Rob Zombie's takes on the Halloween franchise, or you despise them. After Halloween Resurrection, the franchise was seemingly at an all-time low. That movie tried to bring Michael into a new generation with a reality show gimmick, and
Lost in the Reel's video review for Decision to Leave Park Chan-Wook, the director of Oldboy, Lady Vengeance and The Handmaiden, is in my opinion, one of the greatest filmmakers working today. While Bong-Joon Ho is the household name from South Korea, due to his groundbreaking work on
Vampires and cinema go hand-in-hand. As long as we've had movies, we've basically had vampires on screen. Thanks to Bram Stoker and his novel Dracula, we've seen myriad adaptations, changes, updates, side stories, and more about bloodsuckers. In recent years, vampires have taken more time up on the
You know the story: two households, both alike in dignity. A long-standing blood feud, a pair of star-crossed lovers, and a tragic, untimely demise. Romeo and Juliet remains to this day one of William Shakespeare’s most well-known plays. But maybe it’s about time for some new insight into this

This was a week of trauma-watching. Let me tell you, that's not an easy time. My week started with the musical Jagged Little Pill. Then hanging at The Kelly Clarkson Show to watch Mila Kunis (Bad Moms) talk about her new Netflix film Luckiest Girl Alive which I knew nothing about. Luckiest Girl
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
The Sheep Detectives is a towering testament of how powerful animated stories can be when done right. A genuine crowdpleaser, the film is sure to warm and break your heart, wrestling with richly textured explorations of death and grief, lost and found families, and the necessity of memory.
It's been quite a long time since we've had a Star Wars movie in theaters. In the time between Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker and now, we've had a revolution in entertainment in streaming and Star Wars moved from controlling the theater to a fixture in our living rooms with shows like The
