The Big Sick

Take a seat and a pause as this mislabeled "romantic comedy" unhooks its sweater from the gate.

While certain elements of their story ha... Read More

I was eleven years old when E.T. The Extra-terrestrial movie came to theaters.

I also remember running out to buy the best, ... Read More

The Mummy

(Nathan M Rose) 9/14/2017 3:48 PM EST
In 1999, Universal remade one of their famous monster movies, The Mummy, for modern ages. It was a cross between a horror film, a goofy comedy, and an Indiana Jones film. While it was earmarked as a modestly budgeted film, it became one of the biggest box-office smashes of that year spawning two sequels, a spin-off series, and a... Read More
