Writer/Director Brandon Christensen (Z) debuted his latest movie, Superhost, at this year's Popcorn Frights Film Festival where it won the top prize for best movie. For Christensen, the Horror/Thriller genre is one he is both familiar and comfortable with.He tends to take everyday scenarios and make them unique. In Z it was a little boy... Read More

The Tomorrow War

What if time travel were possible? Would you "take the leap"? What if you had no choice as a new kind of worldwide "draft" was instituted. Those who are chosen, and are physically able to, are sent thirty years in the future to help fight off aliens who have decimated the human race. If these pseudo-soldiers ca... Read More

Back in 1989, I watched a Disney animated movie about a mermaid who was fascinated by the world outside of the ocean. She collected items, spoke to her friend Scuttle the seagull about the people and things in the "human world" and would sneak to the surface to watch Prince Eric. The Little Mermaid was Disney's return to t... Read More

Infinite

Reincarnation…rebirth…transmigration…whatever you choose to label it, the idea of dying and coming back to life has been debated for thousands of years. For some, it is gibberish and nonsense. For others, it is a philosophical/religious way of life. For Heinrich Treadway (Dylan O'Brien; American Assassin) it i... Read More

Loki

Marvel Studios always seem to have a plan when it comes to the MCU and all the characters in it. After Avengers: Endgame they moved into a whole new phase, including more movies and limited series television shows. These shows highlight some of the characters who never really got their moments onscreen. Premiering on Disney+, the f... Read More

Tom Clancy's Without Remorse

Author Tom Clancy (The Hunt for Red October) is known for his thrilling, International / United States security stories, many of which center around one character – Jack Ryan. Twenty-one novels were written by or mostly by Clancy and the character of Ryan has been portrayed by five different actors - Alec Baldwin (Boss Baby), Harrison Ford (T... Read More

The Mitchells vs. The Machines

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 4/21/2021 9:07 AM EST
Imagine what would happen if one of the Terminator movies was reimagined into a computer-animated comedy. It would be cheesy, mildly funny, filled with artificial intelligence and some violence disguised behind some cool music and animation. Columbia Pictures decided to make this movie and this week it debuts in select theaters before s... Read More

Solar Opposites Season 2

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 3/22/2021 1:02 PM EST
One of the geniuses behind Rick and Morty, Justin Roiland (Reporters), decided to team up with one of the show's writers (Mike McHanan; Star Teck: Lower Deck), and together they created a half an hour adult cartoon for Hulu called Solar Opposites. Like Rick and Morty, the show is crass, obnoxious, inappropriate, and hilariously funny. &n... Read More

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 3/18/2021 12:00 PM EST
Once Avengers: Endgame hit theaters ten years of characters and movies came to a glorious yet heartbreaking end. Of course, it left everyone wondering, what's next? We knew a Black Widow was getting the origin treatment and another Spider-Man movie starring Tom Holland (Cherry) was on the way but what about the other superheroes? &n... Read More

Zack Snyder's Justice League

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 3/15/2021 12:00 PM EST
It was March of 1960 and DC Comics decided to unite some of their biggest superheroes into something called the Justice League. Over the years, the members have varied but their mission had remained the same. With the resurgence of superheroes returning to the big screen, it was only a matter of time before the Justice League got its ow... Read More
