(Leonard Buccellato) 1/5/2016 3:22 PM EDT The Green Inferno, the latest film by Eli Roth (Hostel), was clearly inspired by Ruggero Deodato's Cannibal Holocaust. It is also clear that Roth owes a debt of gratitude to the Italian filmmaker, since he was the king of low-budget gore. Deodato's film was banned in many countries, and most people at the time were uncertain of the origin o... Read More |

The characters, the actors who played them, and even the theme song for the television series, were widely known and easily identifiable. For nine seasons, these FBI agents invest... Read More |

(Nathan M Rose) 12/15/2015 9:51 AM EDT A couple of years ago, a foul mouthed teddy bear named Ted took the box office by storm, and, in true Hollywood fashion, a sequel was greenlit before the movie hit home release. While the first film was just exploring the world of Ted and his best friend, John Bennett (Mark Wahlberg; Transformers: Age of Extinction), ... Read More |
(Nathan M Rose) 12/8/2015 8:51 AM EDT For Marvel's second film entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe for 2015, they decided to go with a character small in size, but large in might, Ant-Man.Paul Rudd (This Is the End) stars as Scott Lang, a man of the people, who was incarcerated for stealing from the rich and giving to the poor.

(Nathan M Rose) 12/7/2015 11:24 AM EDT If you are a fan of Despicable Me 1 or 2, then you are already familiar with the yellow, super cute guys called Minions. So, what are these little creatures? How did Gru end up with them? How long have they been on this planet? To answer these questions and more, Universal pictures and Illuminati teamed up this year to give them their ow... Read More |
(Paul Kates) 11/23/2015 10:52 AM EDT It seemed almost inevitable that after his huge Lord of the Rings trilogy, Peter Jackson would turn his attention to JRR Tolkien's other well-known middle earth novel "The Hobbit". What was surprising was that the adaption of this novel would also be a trilogy. Personally, I had reservations, and after seeing the first movie on the bi... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 11/17/2015 2:17 PM EDT 2015 seems to be the year of Back To The Future, which appeared to hit it's frenzied peak at the end of October. From documentaries about the films to movie marathons in theaters across the country, the franchise has seen a resurgence in popularity.

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 11/17/2015 9:26 AM EDT I wasn't alive when the popular television show The Man From U.N.C.L.E. aired so I have no basis of comparison with the 2015 movie. However, Warner Bros. decided it was time to make a full-length feature film that, I can only imagine, pays homage to the series. If nothing else, it is a fun look at the spy game from years ago reminis... Read More |
