News broke that the Weinsteins were bringing Scream back to the masses, ten years after the last one. It actually got a lot of folk excited. I had forgotten what a good film Scream was and just filed...

Bigger than Ben-Hur’ has been in the world’s vernacular for generations, and having just seen the film for the first time in 30 years, William Wyler’s epic quickly reminded this reviewer why. For a fi...

My love of film began as a four-year old in 1979 being taken to a small town drive-in, and, for the first time in my young life, being completely transfixed by what unfolded before me. Watching Star W...
