For the past week, I've been down in the swamplands of Georgia hanging out with friends and having a complete blast at an event called HvZ Endwar. Imagine tag with Nerf Blasters, zombies, and tons of music and you'll have a pretty solid ide...

There is nothing in the world that is perfect, but the Mike Hodges directed 1980 Flash Gordon film with a soundtrack by Queen is probably the closest that humanity is going to get to it. However, for some reason, Hollywood wants to move on ...

Vietnam is a beautiful, beautiful country. I think if you have no interest in The Third Wife's quiet period drama and struggling women in a male-dominated culture, that beauty is more than enough reason to sit for the film. Were Ash Mayfair...

In the ever growing collection of superhero movies there are plenty of classics that people will talk about, and with Dark Phoenix firmly not being one of them it's time to look an X-Men movie that is. You've got the first Iron Man;&nb...

In a blisteringly-contemporary update of the outlaws-on-the-run genre, we today get our first look at Queen & Slim from director Melina Matsoukas, who previously worked on HBO's Insecure as well as promotional shorts for Beyoncé...

Look, Toy Story 4 did not flop at all. It pulled in $118 million over the weekend, making it the most successful opening of the franchise and the third largest opening weekend of the year. It's a hit, but... it's nowhere near what Disn...

Hollywood is a fickle, temperamental child of a world, changing its collective mind faster than an adolescent grabs, drops, and cries about ice cream. So with that odd anecdote in mind, there are fresh rumblings in the world of the next Mat...

Toy Story 4 is out and guess what, it is amazing! Is this a return to form for Pixar, we sure hope so. On this week's FlixList I counted down his top three Pixar movies of all time. I talk about my love of Toy Story, Wall-E, and Up, bu...

In perhaps the most controversial FlixList of all time, I decided to leave out any of Ridley Scott's Alien movies in my top 5. There you go, you can complain in the comments section below. But the five on this list I believe are five o...

There is something undeniably addictive about Bo Burnham’s work, and watching Eighth Grade only deepened my appreciation for him. He intrigues and saddens me in equal measure because he’s prodigiously gifted. How can one person,...

I don't think I've ever experienced whiplash myself, but going back-to-back with last week's episode of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and then to this one is giving me a good idea of what it feels like. After two focused and experimental episode, ...

Flixist readers, you are in for an absolute treat (re: tragedy) because today I get to write a little history lesson. The first image from Steven Spielberg's 2020 remake of West Side Story released this week, featuring our first look a...

The latest trailer for Ari Aster's Midsommar gives us a decidedly tongue-in-cheek look at the coming festival of beauty and misery. There's such gorgeous color and symmetry here as revelers even sit at symbolically-placed tables to eat din...

There's an old adage within Pixar, that the prestigious animated studio wouldn't make sequels unless they had "better stories" than the originals. Ever since Cars 2 followed up a homely and relatable classic with espionage plots and literal...

Putting on his dirtiest hat and donning his best non-inebriated Jackson Maine voice, Shia LaBeouf returns to the big screen in a modern day version of a Mark Twain story. A small town outlaw on the run, LaBeouf's Tyler crosses path with Za...

After watching this trailer I'll give the warning that there are some spoilers for the upcoming season here. The Upside Down doesn't seem to be done with Hawkins, Indiana. The paranormal inverse of our world won't be shut out so easily. Th...

You can beat him, you can stab him, and you can burn him but you can't keep Michael Myers down. The newest movie calling itself Halloween was a modest success when it released last year. Who are we kidding? It was a huge success financially...

There's a nice little niche for trashy movies that are fun to watch and Netflix is the perfect place for them. Spend money on them in the theater and you're pissed off. Watch them on a lazy night on Netflix and you don't care how dumb a fi...

Going the route of successful anthology series like American Horror Story, AMC's rooted-in-fact cocktail of historical and supernatural horror returns as The Terror: Infamy, ditching the titular English ships of the first season. Instead o...

Got to be honest--I'm not feeling this trailer for Killerman. Hemsworth has some emotional intensity that I like, but as a whole I'm not sure I buy him as a hardened criminal. The worst bit, though, is the amnesia angle that sees Hemsworth...

I'm not going to lie. I have seen Trolls more times than any other movie in the past five years. Why? I have a four-year-old at home and he loves it. Fine... I love it too. The music is good, the animation is stunning, and the story a...

Pulling a reverse-Don't Breathe--a film which made me think being blind was supposed to morph you into a super-human killing machine that can track people by the smell of their shoes--we have Blindsided, a film where being blind is actuall...

The Bill & Ted train is on a roll. With Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter set to reprise their roles as the bodacious buds, the film’s villain is now set. Fresh off an excellent season two of HBO’s Barry, Anthony Carrigan has b...

Look, we all love Keanu Reeves, right? There are the memes and breathtaking public appearances and work like the John Wick films are a lot of fun and do well at the box office. He is, in every sense of the term, a movie star. But for many o...

Summer 2020 is going to see Pixar movie fans going on another emotional journey (as if Inside Out wasn't enough). Today Disney announced that a year from today exactly, Pixar's Soul will hit theaters as the next hopeful summer blockbuster. ...

I don't know about you, but I would love for an obscenely heavy bag of Doritos to arrive on my doorstep. Spider-Man: Far from Home is ramping up its marketing campaign with only weeks left before the release. They'll be stuffing a movie qua...

Children know that when school is over, it's time for the good movies. Superheroes, robots, aliens, and other out-worldly forces take over movie theaters to provide relief, escapism, and as we learn later in life, nostalgia. It is these sum...

Well, here is a quick turn around. Usually, we have to wait years, if not decades, to get a film re-released. There's a reason for it too, like an anniversary or some sort of celebration. Avengers: Endgame doesn't need any of that. Kev...

We already knew that there was a whole lot more Kingsman on the way. Series helmer Matthew Vaughn was said to be working double duty, shooting the prequel before the climactic Kingsman 3. Today brings a tidbit of news regarding that prequel...

I've seen just about every Paranormal Activity movie, and I'm willing to make the bold statement that none of them are good. They never were. The original rode on some of that this-really-happened wave that propelled so much found footage g...

Before we dive into this news, let me just say that there are good Adam Sandler movies. There aren't many, but they do exist. Murder Mystery could be a good Adam Sandler movie. I haven't watched it yet so I don't know, but it could be....

Iron Sky: The Coming Race finally has an official release date in the United States through Vertical Entertainment, and I couldn't be more excited. The trailer was bonkers in all the best ways with a surprisingly high budget. You give me Mo...

We've got a Blu-ray copy of Jordan Peele's Us to give away -- come enter our contest to nab it! Jordan Peele is kind of on fire right now. His debut feature, Get Out, drew in accolades left and right (and made some decent mon...

Motion Pixels is a series of haphazard articles hoping to link the passions of gaming and films. Through recommendations, general chicanery, and, sometimes, analysis our hope is to set you, dear reader, on a path of exploration you might no...

It was a bit strange going from two high-concept episodes in three and four, each focusing on a different narrative, to a pretty standard one that tried to tie everything together. Now all of the pieces appear to be set, motivations seem to...

One of the first questions I ask whenever I see some gritty, western-style thriller coming out is, "Yeah, but do, like, a bunch of people get shot to death?" This trailer for Desolate answers that question with a big and bloody yes! Follow...

Look, it's not going to be easy going for Netflix in the coming years as media heavyweights start yanking their content from the streaming platform and start putting it on their own platforms. They're not just losing content, but clout. Th...

The Night Sitter looks like a fun enough little horror/comedy. You got a bratty kid, an eccentric father with something to hide, and a crew of thieves seeking out some occult goodies all ready to be picked off by a pack of malicious witche...

During the lead up to the final season of Jessica Jones, I both wanted and didn't want the show to air. With the end of this show, we've officially reached the end of the Marvel/Netflix shows that have been around since 2015 and have given ...

I'll be the first to admit that I haven't been a fan of anything that has come out of the DCEU since Man of Steel. Truth be told, the only movies I've been looking forward to from DC have been ones that are tangentially related to their abo...
