October closes, however, without a single recent theatrical release of note – at least none I recognize. Ultra HD I have dutifully upgraded The Wizard of Oz through every video format from...

You’ve probably seen some. Hopefully you haven’t seen them all. Getting through some of these flaming poo bags of cinema was an absolute trial, but I suffered through all of these for you. It was a sacrifice....

Is there any gold in this week’s assortment of discs, or just a bunch of dogs? Let’s take a look.

Sometimes this works out well, but often it doesn’t. In this week’s Roundtable, we look at examples of each. M. Enois Duarte Best: One of the most surprising American remakes of recent memory, for me, was...

In addition, this was also the highest-grossing weekend of the year so far. Each of the new movies happened to be a franchise sequel or spinoff, but only one of them managed to outgross its predecessor. Although the ‘Fifty Shades’ sequel dominated Friday’s...

As much as I love ‘Split’ – and I truly love it – this better be its last weekend at the top of the box office. I’m struggling to find headlines that play on its...

Matter of fact, it’s a bad one. You’d think it would be tough to get a new sequel to ‘The Ring’ going these days given that...
