If I didn't have a strong view of whales before, I do now. A Whale of a Tale is a documentary feature representing the controversy surrounding Japanese whaling traditions in the small, rural town of Taiji, and it gave me a lot of confl...
Rarely do I get excited about a film because of the people in it, especially one's "Based on a True Story" I've never heard of. One reason I go to the movies is to forget these people are actors and get engrossed by their performances. But ...
In case you didn't notice, Slender Man came out last week and was an unmitigated disaster. It wasn't scary at all and it was frankly just a slog to get through. Nothing worked in it, and if you're at all curious to see it and...
Much of the talk surrounding the film adaptation of Crazy Rich Asians is the need for Asian representation in Hollywood—while I'm with it all the way, it isn't what attracted me to the movie. See, people seem to forget that being Asia...
Look, I'm a person who believes in second chances. While I did take issue with the writing, characterization, fight choreography, camerawork, racial politics, and literally everything from the first season of Iron Fist, I'm willi...
Alfonso Cuaron is one of the most powerful directors working. You need to look no further than the rare 10 we gave his last movie, Gravity, to see how I feel about his work. That's why Roma, from Netflix, is probably one of the most h...
The Puppet Master series has been consistently running for almost 30 years. With The Littlest Reich, there are now 12 films to the slasher franchise. And with that many sequels comes a precipitous drop in quality and budget down to one film...
You, like me, were probably sat happily at home, munching through a plus-sized chocolate bar and vaguely flicking through the upcoming episodes of Kimmy Schmidt midway through a three-hour binge when - devastatingly - you heard the ne...
The Metal Gear Solid movie adaptation is still a twinkle of a dream inside Jordan Vogt-Robert's eye, but the director has been celebrating the 31st anniversary of the game for the last month by posting some spectacular c...
It's over, folks. After a month of wondering whether Disney would reinstate James Gunn, the company has reaffirmed that Gunn would not be returning to direct Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. This news comes after a meeting between Gunn...
The fight to bring back James Gunn continues. In an interview yesterday with the Associated Press, Chris Pratt reaffirmed his support for director James Gunn, and wished that Disney would move to reinstate the director after firing Gunn nea...
It's very possible that you hadn't heard -- considering that Chucky isn't on very many people's daily radar and it's been delayed years -- that MGM is planning to reboot the Chucky franchise without creator Don Mancini and pr...
Sup, sharkticons, and welcome back to The 300, a recurring feature on my deep blue attempt to watch 300 movies in theaters in the year 2018. I’ll be seeing new releases, repertory screenings, hidden gems, and festival films to experie...
No sesame. All Street. With that one tagline, I had to see The Happytime Murders. Do I think it will be good? I'm not sure. It looks like a lot of the comedy is just based off of puppets doing adult things, and that's kind of tired. But tha...
There have only been a handful of thoughtful dramas in 2018 so far. This genre, once home to countless Oscar-bait films, has downsized significantly in recent years as audiences change. However, Green Book's first trailer shows that, at lea...
Gaspar Noe, the man behind Irreversible and Enter the Void has made a dance movie. With two extremely sexual and horrifying works to his name already, it doesn't look like he's prepared to tone it down just yet. And god bless him for it. T...
With MoviePass essentially in flames and changing their policies every other day, it would be reasonable for users to want out. But many who attempted to cancel may have found their efforts to be undone, receiving email confirmations that t...
James Cameron's 9-year-old film and franchise-to-be Avatar received a nice shot of adrenaline last year when Disney opened a Pandora-themed section to its Animal Kingdom in Orlando. It's an innovative take on adapting a movie to a theme par...
Oh, boy Joker fans get ready as we may be finally getting to see The Joker as he was originally intended on screen: downright creepy, sadistic and definitely evil. SO evil in fact, that DC Comics has apparently considered the film may ...
If you watched all the way through Star Trek: Discovery you know that it ended on a cliffhanger that surprised, angered, and excited Trek fans. The show also heavily involved Spock's family, but no Spock. I'm going to talk about t...
The Uncharted movie project has gone through many iterations, each seeming as unlikely as the last. But the current director attached to the film, family movie director and Stranger Things executive producer Shawn L...
Slender Man hasn't been relevant in internet culture for years. Remember how back in 2012 Slender Man was all of the rage? Youtubers were going nuts over Slender: The Eight Pages, there were a bunch of fan games, an...
It isn't a good look when every time I think about MoviePass, the Curb Your Enthusiasm theme plays in my head. In today's edition of the MoviePass Deathwatch, here's how the troubled service crashed yet again last Friday evening. Before the...
The Disney live-action remakes might be my biggest film surprise of the last decade. What at first seemed like Disney making cash crabs at the rampant desire for nostalgia in the world has become a series of increasingly good movi...
Tom Hardy isn't shy about taking on challenging projects (especially if said projects require a contraption over his face), and he has potentially one of his toughest currently in the works. Director Josh Trank released a photo of Hardy as ...
The Meg took a massive bite out of the box office this weekend, destroying expectations by pulling in $44 million. It turned the rest of the box office into chum as it chomped its way through to a jaw(s) dropping cume, making nearly $2...
The gears are finally turning for the fourth film of the Star Trek reboot series, but the sequel may have lost its two biggest stars. According to THR, actors Chris Pine and Chris Hemsworth, who portray James and George Kirk,...

The year will be 2019, and as you sit in a movie theater, shoving popcorn into your face as James Marsden interacts with a CGI blue hedgehog, you may ask yourself: "how did we get here?" Collider revealed a few new details about t...
I begin most contests with a bit of pomp and circumstance to really up the drama before revealing the true nature of the prize. But when a movie makes like eight gabillion (a real number, look it up) dollars at the box office, I suppose the...
Earlier in the week, the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences, or the Academy, announced that they were changing up some of their policies for future Oscar award ceremonies. Most of the announcements were humdrum topics, like c...
What makes a good bad movie? It's a question I've been pondering over the years as I sit through more and more bad bad movies trying to be good bad movies. Take Skyscraper as a recent example. It's a bad movie, but it's not a good...
If you loved Deadpool 2 (and I’m sure many of you did ) you will love the new teaser trailer for the new cut of it available now. The trailer features a very seductive Deadpool in kind of classic black and white promo (it makes me th...
The Disney-21st Century Fox merger is happening, and that means the rights to license Marvel superheroes for movies are in fewer hands than ever before. Asides from Disney/Fox, Sony is the only studio with access to film rights - and only t...
While you may or may not be feeling sorry for James Gunn after his surprise firing from Guardians of the Galaxy 3, no one should be worried about his future as a filmmaker. THR is reporting that the director, who was let go f...
Disney and Netflix are the undeniable behemoths in entertainment. The billions of dollars each company is worth in their media properties alone is hard to visualize the number is so big, and they keep growing bigger. Disney is eating other ...
