Killer Klowns from Outer Space

(Leonard Buccellato) 4/24/2018 9:54 PM EST
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) 4/24/2018 11:07 AM EST
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

In 1958 British Author Michael Bond introduced us to the duffle coat wearing, marmalade-loving bear Paddington.

The Post

Reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein uncovered and reported the Watergate scandal for The Washington Post; ... Read More

The Commuter

(Nathan M Rose) 4/17/2018 9:33 AM EST
Have you ever commuted on a train back and forth to work every day? Have you ever watched your fellow commuters as you did? It is a fascinating study of human nature and one that writers Byron Willinger and Philip de Blasi decided would make for a great script. As they saw the same people all the time on their commute in the northeast t... Read More

Vice Principals: The Complete Series

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 4/16/2018 11:00 AM EST
HBO's half-hour comedy series Vice Principals was always meant to be two seasons long. Creators Jody Hill (Eastbound & Down) and Dan McBride (Pineapple Express) - who also stars – envisioned a feature film originally but then morphed the idea into a short-term television show. While the first season wasn't overtly funn... Read More

Rampage

Knowing

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 4/11/2018 10:36 AM EST
Imagine if you knew the future. Imagine if you could predict world events and potentially save thousands of lives a year. Imagine if there were voices inside your head possessing you to write it all down. Imagine if you were a young girl who didn't understand it. Imagine people thought you were crazy or disturbed. For poor L... Read More

Ballers: The Complete Third Season

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 4/10/2018 2:46 PM EST
