How well do you know the people around you? I mean, really, really, really know them? Those closest to you, in fact? That’s the question Goodnight Mommy dares to ask its viewers. Trust me when I suggest to you that filmmakers Veronika Franz and Severin Fialas ...

Call me disappointed. (Oh yes, I did.) With such rich source material and a near bottomless barrel of timeless literary themes from which to pull, how does Ron Howard miss with In the Heart of the Sea, his adaptation of Nathaniel Philbrick’s best-selling book about ...

Charlie Chaplin had his pathos. The melancholy Buster Keaton chased his inventive nature for great sight gags. So where does that leave the third clown of the silent era of film, the beloved Harold Lloyd? He's America's Everyman, winning over audiences with a ...

September 10th, 1993. It was my senior year of high school. On that day, I had just turned 18 and had no idea that my life was soon to changed by a television show. It was a Friday night. I should have been out with my friends, cruising up and down Main Street in the ...

My main exposure to Scientology once came from snippets of that infamous Tom Cruise video and a vague memory of 1980s Dianetics commercials. So the documentary Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief filled in many blanks, showing how the cult attracts ...

Quentin Tarantino does it again! Honestly though, was anyone expecting anything less from the already star studded director? The Hateful Eight is a prime, albeit stunning example of why Tarantino is one of the few filmmakers in the industry today that treat film as a work of art ...

Writer/director Woody Allen continues to make moviemaking look easy. While a shade darker in tone than his last few releases, Irrational Man is still 100% Allen in its themes and execution. The title sequences, the jazz, the impeccable cast, the mood; it’s all here and ...

It is simply impossible to write about the events in The Boy without breaking into a serious case of the giggles. The absurdity of a young woman babysitting a doll in a mansion that just drips with gothic goo is ripe for parody. The situation knows no bounds and yet ...

Sinister 2 is not a good film. At all. To be clear, it lacks the spark that made the original flick a better than the average horror offering. Screenwriters Scott Derrickson and C. Robert Cargill got lucky with the first film but they choose – here in the second installment – to unravel ...

The skadoosh has returned. After a five-year break, things effortlessly click back into place for the third (and more probable than not) final Kung Fu Panda movie. It is an animated feature that hugs as much as it kicks with Po’s (Jack Black) swift swipe-to-air combos. ...

Goosebumps, directed by Rob Letterman (Gulliver's Travels, Monsters vs. Aliens, Shark Tale), might have hit theaters about a year ago but the $131 million hit film is only just now hitting shelves on blu-ray. Trust me when I suggest to you that the film – full of monsters, laughs, ...

The golden age of Hollywood, with its authoritative studio system, juicy scandals, and nosy gossip columnists at every turn, gets a loving homage by Joel and Ethan Coen in Hail, Caesar!, a film that pulls back the curtain on the Hollywood movie-making machine the pair ...
