When I first learned that The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina was getting a Christmas Special I was excited. I have developed a bit of a binge-watching obsession with this Netflix show and I was not disappointed by the hour-long episode. A ...
Post-apocalyptic films have enjoyed a long run, and apparently, that’s not changing anytime soon. We humans are concerned about the future; what’s it going to be like? Will cars fly? Will my Nike’s self-lace? Will people b...
I fell off the Downton Abbey bandwagon somewhere in the second to last season. I hated that Dan Stevens was gone and, honestly, the plot was getting thin. That is to say that I have no idea if a movie is actually needed or not, but we're g...
Championed by a number of influential women working in Hollywood, including producers and agents, a newly-published study has revealed that the female-led blockbusters released within the last four years have outperformed male-led movies....
Thinking about the opening shot of Roma brings tears to my eyes. The centerpiece film at the 2018 New York Film Festival is a masterful display of Alfonso Cuaron’s craft, and how the magic of filmmaking can situate the mind in a speci...
While the familiar page-turning Marvel logo may grace the beginning of every Runaways episode, this Hulu original barely resembles any of the other properties of the Marvel Cinematic Universe that the show supposedly inhabits. As the charac...
We're in an era of sequels and remakes, and with 2018 being the biggest box office year in the history of cinema we're going to be getting plenty more. If a studio can bring something old and beloved back they're probably going to do it. It...
The story of Spider-Man has been told a number of times through different mediums, but animated film Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse may be the first Spidey movie to admit it. Not only does this movie own that fact, but it makes this the ...
In our modern era of movie trailer editing, it’s pretty common to know exactly what a movie is about, how it will begin, and how it will end all within the couple minutes of footage the studio chooses to show. As if in mortal ter...
What attracts an audience in 2018 to a western? Westerns as films are one of the most-identifiable and long-lasting genres in the medium, I would argue largely due to the iconography associated with them that is positively burned into the r...
When theaters warn you not to be that Martin Shkreli-looking goon in a hoodie, hunkered in the dark and recording the movie on his cell phone, with the proclamation "THIS IS ILLEGAL," it turns out they were right! As long as you do that som...
Stop motion Christmas specials are an iconic part of holiday entertainment. The stop motion TV special is probably the first thing that comes to mind when you think of Rudolph. However there haven't been any new entries to the collection i...
I woke up at 11:30 a.m. this morning to my phone alarm, before setting it to snooze and drifting back to sleep for another half-hour. Just after noon, I crawled like caterpillar out of bed, my feet hitting the cold floors of my apartment. M...
Hey there, rogue cops, and welcome back to The 300, my gritty, destructive attempt to see more than 300 movies in theaters in 2018. I’ll be watching new releases, classics, hidden gems, and festival films to experience the wide world ...
Straight from the horse's mouth, we have a roster update for our galactic scoundrels and space-Spartans (it just sort of occurred to me, but that's totally what the Mandalorians are based on, right?) set to star in the upcoming Star Wars se...
With the first season of Jodie Whitaker as the Doctor on Doctor Who over with it's time to take some stock of what the show has become. Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who's new showrunner, came in this year and completely revamp...
The writing is on the wall for the Netflix's Marvel shows, but that doesn't mean that the ones that were in production before the great culling began won't be coming out. Both Punisher and Jessica Jones still have seasons coming,...
The second season of Netflix's adaptation of A Series of Unfortunate Events still feels fairly recent, so the third and final season arriving soon is a pleasant surprise. Well, an unpleasant one, as "Lemony Snicket" would tell us. With les...
After Netflix announced a revival of 80's-childhood icon Carmen Sandiego was coming, we finally got our first look at her this week. It's a whole new Carmen for a new generation I guess. While she still sports the iconic red trench coat and...
You'll lose your mind over this contest: Win a Blu-ray copy of Maniac: Limited Edition! It's new release Tuesday, which means we're continuing our streak of giving away great Blu-rays from our friends at MVD Entertainment. Today's rele...
One of the few hiccups on the MCU is Doctor Strange. The movie performed just fine but, unlike other Marvel films, the studio didn't confirm a sequel right off the bat. In fact, they waited more than two years to announce that a sequel was ...
The post-apocalyptic novel and video game Metro 2033 had an adaptation planned for next year, but now it's dead like all of us in that world. Dmitry Glukhovsky, the original author of the novel series who leased the rights to MGM in 2016 t...
Sometimes good movies come out, and sometimes Second Act comes out. Look, I haven't seen the movie yet so it could be a big, wonderful surprise that just lights up the comedy world this holiday season, but it sure doesn't look li...
When I sat down to see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory: The New Musical, I was excited and not sure what to expect. I grew up reading the book and watched the classic Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (1971). I had some idea of what t...
Another year, another awards season. By now, local critics groups are giving out their awards, but the big fish here is the Critics' Choice Movie Awards ceremony presented by the Broadcast Film Critics Association (BFCA). There's ...
Get into the action with this contest: Win a copy of Robert Rodriguez's The Limit. Did you know they started making movies in VR? I had no idea. It's kind of cool, and also a little intimidating. What if everything goes to VR, and the ...
2018 seems to be the year for old shows making comebacks and beloved Disney movies getting remakes. Hilary Duff, who played the popular Disney Channel teen in Lizzie McGuire, revealed to On Air With Ryan Seacrest that a remake of the TV ser...
Broadcast dates in the age of apparent "prestige" television are never as consistent as it used to be. Enter the BBC's Doctor Who, which just wrapped up series/season 11. While Whovians (great fanbase name, by the way) can rest easy kn...
There probably isn't a single day where I don't quote something from Spongebob Squarepants. While I certainly enjoyed the show as a child, I learned to embrace the smart, pointed, and absurd comedy of Stephen Hillenburg's cartoon as a young...
As time marches on, a few things make me realize how futile life can truly be. We're all going to die, the sun will eventually engulf our planet and erase humanity in an instant, and someone at Flixist is going to have to watch the Sonic th...
While Roma was irreverently snubbed at the Golden Globes last week, it’s back in its rightful place thanks to the board over in LA. The results of the LA Film Critics Association have also offered Cuarón’s hailed monochro...
I'm sure there's some other stuff going on in Godzilla: King of Monsters because WB is building out a whole cinematic universe thing and that requires humans to be in it and their underlying Monarch subplot to continue, but man does this m...
Vice is definitely one of the best movies of the year. It's both darkly comical (in that you can only laugh at how depressing it is), and wonderfully made. Christian Bale's Dick Cheney has to be seen to be believed, and the r...
We're in a small calm before the holiday box office storm right now as the big release of Thanksgiving get some time to breather before the onslaught of Christmas releases starts to bear down upon us. With nothing but a re-release of Schind...
There seems to be some questionable rumo(u)rs floating around from some U.K. tabloids that Doctor Who star Jodie Whittaker and showrunner Chris Chibnall won't be sticking around the TARDIS for that long. While Chibnall's status isn't set in...
I have never been a fan of Kevin Hart. It's not that I don't like the guy or think that he's annoying, but it's simply because I don't find him funny. I acknowledge that humor is subjective, so when a friend of mine tells me that he finds K...
A "Bond Girl" returning!? The times sure have changed, Mr. Bond. According to the Daily Mail, who spoke with Bond 25 director Cary Joji Fukunaga, Lea Sydoux will be returning to the role of Madeleine Swann in the next B...
When it was announced years ago that Andy Serkis (yes, that Andy Serkis) would be making a film based off of Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book it looked like we'd get two major blockbusters going head to head as Disney had their v...
I don't think I will ever be able to explain how Anna and the Apocalypse exists. Someone had to have woken up one day and decided "Gee, you know what the world needs? A musical about the zombie apocalypse set during Christmas!" Just by...
Are you people happy now? After all the fervor, Marvel Studios officially unveiled the first trailer for the follow-up to Avengers: Infinity War. It feels a bit more of a teaser—it doesn't show much, but to be quite honest, that's th...
