As long as Hollywood is making movies, there will be reboots and remakes…even though many of these seem to flop or flounder at the box office. Working with an already recognized property always seems like a smaller risk, at least on paper, so we aren’t likely to see film makers
What if the reality we know is only a small fraction of the universe? What if there are worlds and dimensions beyond our own, that we could access if we only knew the secret of how to push beyond the “known” into the “unknown”? The classic sci-fi novel “A Wrinkle
I’ve been looking forward to Marvel/Netflix’s “The Punisher” ever since the character showed up in season two of “Daredevil” (and was actually the highlight of that season for me). However, I was also a bit nervous about how Marvel and Netflix would handle his solo show, based on the fact
“Annihilation” is a weird movie. I don’t mean that as a bad thing, but it’s good to know that going in. It’s a trippy, mysterious, puzzling, sometimes beautiful/sometimes terrifying science fiction film that dares to ask more questions than it answers. If you’ve seen the trailers, you know the basic

Although I always enjoy hearing what films are nominated for the Academy Awards each year, I often like to joke that my personal favorite movies of the year typically don’t get mentioned until the more technical categories, like “best visual effects.” ? So, just for fun, I made up some
As an entertainment news junkie, I’m always excited and curious to see the list of Academy Awards nominees each year. The Oscars are arguably the most prestigious awards in Hollywood, and even being nominated for one is a special honor. However, I also have a confession to make: most years
It’s now been about a month since “The Last Jedi” opened in theaters, and I feel like the dust is finally starting to settle a bit surrounding this surprisingly polarizing entry in the Star Wars franchise. By now everyone has probably decided how they feel about the film, one way
With 2017 behind us, it’s time to start looking ahead to 2018! There will be plenty of movies to look forward to in theaters this year, including a certain little Marvel movie that will wrap up a decade of build-up. It might make a little money at the box office.
