Horror may, in fact, be the hardest genre to pull off. There are so many ways a film can go wrong and so few for it to go right. You need to maintain the atmosphere, balance the story, create characters the audience cares about, use every aspect...
One of the biggest surprises of 2015, perhaps even of this decade, was the Rocky follow-up Creed. Directed by eventual Black Panther director Ryan Coogler, the film returned the aged franchise to its electrifying down-to-earth roots and told a...
Disney found itself thrown into chaos last winter when John Lasseter, the founder of Pixar and the Chief Creative Officer of all animated Disney films during the Disney Revival (the period of hits between 2009-present, including Tangled, Inside...
I hope you all had a wonderful Father’s Day weekend! For me, a decent week of movie watching was cut short by my father’s desire to see Tag for his special day, but hey, you can’t win them all. And at least the film isn’t unwatchable. You can...
After the success of The Jungle Book and Beauty and the Beast, it is no surprise that Disney is going to double down on remaking all of their beloved animated films. With The Lion King and Aladdin both finishing up production, Disney is hoping...

Hey guys. Long time no see. My apologies for being away from the site for so long; I’ve been working on a special project recently that I’m hoping I can tell you all about soon. Because of this project, I haven’t had a chance to see many films in...
The Freddie Mercury biopic has had possibly the hardest time coming to the big screen in history. First there were the fights with Queen over securing the rights. Then Sacha Baron Cohen entered talks to join the film in the lead role (a stroke of...

Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there! I hope you enjoyed a great week of pop culture, even if Hollywood is still in a post-Avengers wave and still settling into a groove of things. As mentioned, I didn’t see any new films this week, but I...
