The ‘Paranormal Activity’ franchise can be blamed for many problems with the current state of the horror genre, but one definite win to come out of that manufactured phenomenon was the creation of Blumhouse Productions...
The romantic comedy is a fickle beast for any filmmaker to master. The genre has a structure that must be maintained, and even though there are theoretically two ways for these worn-out stories to end, one will always win out: Hap...
I realize that I’m late with this. The season (and likely series) finale episode of ‘Constantine’ aired almost two weeks ago. I let episodes get backlogged on my DVR and failed to recap one, but I pledged to myse...
The network ads described this week’s episode of ‘Agent Carter’ as the “season finale,” as if there’s still some chance of a Season 2. Originally promoted as a limited run series, the show initi...

As expected, ‘Fifty Shades’ topped the box office for a second weekend. However, it did so with a huge week-to-week dropoff. For better or worse, this weekend’s new releases also defied expectations.
