It’s much easier to explain what makes a movie bad than what makes a movie good. This is common knowledge. Any idiot can say that Transformers 4 is an ‘overlong, clunky, piece of shit’ or that Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is a ‘cynical cash grab’ and back it up with evidence. It’s much more difficult to say...

It’s been a depressing couple of weeks. Everything going on in Ferguson is a nightmare that I can’t even begin to wrap my brain around and we’ve learned that Bill Cosby is a despicably evil monster (for a much more in depth take on that whole disgusting mess, check out Noah’s brilliant piece). But...

At this point I feel like we should call it Jurassic Pratt. When Jurassic Park 4 was first announced a few years back, it was a grown-worthy revelation. A series that has completely lost its footing and vision and has become just another CGI-laced action beast. Then I heard the premise for Jurassic World...

I don’t scare easily. When you watch as many horror movies as I do, you become numb to a lot of the most common scare tactics. You always know when something is going to jump out from behind a corner, you can tell when the killer is going to strike, and you wait for...

A blaze has burned through the Internet this week. That blaze is the power of Dragon Ball. For those who may not know December 3, 2014 marks the 30th anniversary of Akira Toriyama’s classic Manga-turned-Anime. As we get closer and closer to Dragon Ball’s 30th the DBZ camp has just announced a new film:...

Universal Studios has been talking up their plan to create a shared universe, ala Marvel, with all their classic monsters for a while now. They’ve stated that Dracula, Frankenstein’s Monster, The Wolfman, The Mummy, The Invisible Man and maybe even Gill-man will all be sharing the screen in some capacity. I didn’t think this...

Everything about Horns is broad: the comedy, the horror, the acting, the suspense, the romance, and the gore. It works far too hard to please, playing to the rafters when it should be more focused on the people in the front row. All the elements are in place for a great genre bending movie but each element...

I love horror anthologies for the same reason I love horror short story collections: they provide a quick fix for a junkie. Horror fans like me have sat through so many movies, read so many novels, and sat through so many TV episodes that it’s nice to have a film that gives you five...

Are we ever going to get tired of zombies? I keep waiting for us to reach our zombie threshold but it doesn’t seem to be anywhere in sight. The Walking Dead’s ratings are higher than ever, there’s a spinoff show on the way, and it seems like there’s a new zombie video game on the...

Ok everyone, as you know the Avengers: Age of Ultron trailer just hit the web this evening. I’m both terrified and ecstatic about the release of this film. Over the past six years Marvel has released hit after hit, building an incredible connected universe between it’s films and television shows. As Marvel’s phase 2...
