Some do, however! Brace yourself for some spoilers, because we’re about to give away some of our favorite movie endings. Deirdre Crimmins Not just my favorite ending to a film, but also my...

That is, if calling a 25-year-old movie a “classic” doesn’t make you feel ancient, which it kind of does for me. New Releases (Blu-ray) ‘Game Night‘...

Geez, sounds like my seventh birthday party all over again. New Releases (Blu-ray) ‘Alien: Covenant‘ – The trailers for Ridley Scott’s new xenomorph splatterfest all made it look like a shameless retread of the original ‘Alien’ movie. Depending on...

Plenty of good movies have been made about the real Civil War (the American one, if that needs saying). Here are a few of our favorites.

As Ridley Scott brings ‘Exodus: Gods and Kings’ to screen, this week’s Roundtable will look at some of the best and worst epics of the past. Shannon Nutt Best: I...

Oh, and let’s throw in some cannibals too for good measure. If we could get all of these into one movie, imagine what a spectacle...
