Deep Blue Sea 2

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 05/04/2018 10:27 PM EDT
In 1975 we became terrified of the water when Steven Spielberg's (E.T.: The Extraterrestrial) Jaws hit movie theaters. Let's face it… who can forget that huge mouth with all those teeth coming out of the water as the now iconic John Williams' score played in the background. Then in 1999 we were once again reminded why it wasn't s... Read More

Killer Klowns from Outer Space

(Leonard Buccellato) 04/24/2018 9:54 PM EDT
Horror film originality was and is a hard thing to come by. The genre is replete with derivative, and often times, unmemorable dreck. Once in a blue moon, we see filmmakers attempt to push the envelope and try something new. The Chiodo brothers managed to do just that in 1988 with the fan favorite, Killer Klowns from Outer Space.In case you have be... Read More

Hostiles

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 04/24/2018 11:07 AM EDT
It was called the Wild, Wild West for a reason. There was lawlessness across the open plains and a feud brewed between the white people and the Indians. The American troops tried their best to keep things orderly but it seemed to have little effect. As Captain Joseph Blocker (Christian Bale; The Dark Knight) transports dying priso... Read More

Paddington 2

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 04/24/2018 10:35 AM EDT
In 1958 British Author Michael Bond introduced us to the duffle coat wearing, marmalade-loving bear Paddington. Then in 1975 BBC television broadcast a series about the beloved bear and in 2014 Warner Bros. gave us a live-action feature film. Last year they followed that up with Paddington 2, which garnered both critical and audience ac... Read More
