1990’s Misery is one of the finest book to screen King adaptations of all time, in my humble opinion. While this new dearth of King adaptions continues unabated with varying degrees of success or abje...

Some 27 years after it’s release, one might be forgiven for forgetting what a game changer Jan de Bont ’s Speed was. No scratch that, you should remember! Back in the early 90s, the big muscles, full...

Remember that episode of The Big Bang Theory ? You know, the one where Sheldon shares his love of Raiders of the Lost Ark with Amy, and after watching it, she blows his mind by attesting that the plot...
