Before the publication of The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, I don’t think anyone thought we’d revisit the world of Panem. And now here we are, with The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping’s surprise teaser setting up the franchise's 2026 return. While that's exciting in its own right, the

Ella McCay is hitting theaters this holiday season, and it marks director James L. Brooks' first feature film in 15 years. Known for romantic dramedies with biting wit, Brooks' latest project fails to live up to his great works such as Broadcast News and As Good as It Gets. The new film takes place
As my showing of Now You See Me: Now You Don't wrapped up, which is the third installment of the popular magician heist franchise, I found myself smiling ear to ear. When it's expressed that a trip to the movies can be the greatest form of escapism, this is the kind of film that best represents

FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE YET TO SEE "SUNCOAST", THIS IS A NON-SPOILER REVIEW Everyone loves a good coming-of-age film film, right? Unfortunately, good ones are few and far between. The genre (especially nowadays) usually exists in a place of tropes and clichés, hinging on cringey writing that
Looking for a little feel-good sports comedy (before the season 3 premiere of Ted Lasso)? Hit the court with Woody Harrelson in Champions. Harrelson stars as Marcus, a minor-league basketball coach with a stubborn streak and a complete disinterest in connecting with his team as people. After a

The Evil Dead formula might be the most successful in the modern era of horror movies. You take the book of the dead, the Necronomicon, and you hand it to a new fresh filmmaker and let them get on with it. It worked with Fede Alvarez and Evil Dead (2013), it worked with Lee Cronin and Evil Dead
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
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
