While there is no official release date yet, 3 From Hell is one of the projects I am most looking forward to this year. As Rob Zombie’s follow-up to The Devil’s Rejects, the film promises to be yet another trip and gory descend into the horror genre for Zombie. While he is a divisive talent, Zombie’s unique eye is something that is much appreciated in the horror genre. Zombie made news recently in revealing that 3 From Hell had recently been completed, but it appears he may have spoken too soon. In an Instagram post clarifying his announcement, Zombie confirmed that while the film is not…

Rob Zombie is certainly a divisive talent, but I am an avid fan of his work in the film industry. His take on the Halloween brand, while certainly not perfect, is admirable for its creativity and effective mood. Zombie’s perhaps most celebrated for his work on The Devil’s Rejects, which is still regarded as one of the most chilling and gory horror films of the century. While its been over a decade after that film, Zombie is finally following it up with 3 From Hell.  This third film in Zombie’s horror trilogy (the first being House of 1000 Corpses) may not have an official release date so…

It’s fair to say that the last attempt to reboot of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was a mixed bag at best. While the sequel Out of the Shadows was more understanding of the shows fun tone, both films struggled to connect with the series core fanbase due to their more juvenile execution. It doesn’t help either when Megan Fox is asked to carry much of the weight acting-wise. While that previous Michael Bay-led reboot has now been labeled dead, it appears that Paramount is attempting to bring everyone’s favorite pizza-eating-turtles back to life on the big screen. Oddly enough, its coming from Platinum…

Despite recent controversy about troubling jokes and not hosting the Oscars, Kevin Hart is still one of the most beloved comedic stars in the industry. Hits like Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle and Central Intelligence have gained him a massive fanbase, establishing him as one of the few A-list stars in the industry. Hart’s latest The Upside finds the star comedic actor trading his larger-than-life persona for something more grounded, but the results are more of a mixed bag. The Upside is a remake of the massively successful foreign film The Intouchables, which grossed over 400 million worldwide back in 2012. This remake follows Dell (Kevin Hart), an…

Good video game movies are diamonds in the rough, with most game adaptations being lazily conceived projects that only look to monetize on the brand. One of the few good video game movies is Mortal Kombat. It’s certainly cheesy and somewhat dated today, but the film is one of the rare adaptations to actually capture the heart of its source material. While its been over twenty years since the last good Mortal Kombat film (sorry Mortal Kombat Annihilation), it appears that Warner Brothers may be reviving the franchise. According to Revenge of the Fans, an animated Mortal Kombat film is currently in development, with stars Joel McHale…

Jake Gyllenhaal has long been one of my favorite actors working in Hollywood. Aside from his charismatic persona, Gyllenhaal has a penchant of choosing projects more for their artistic merit and less for the monetary gain they would bring. Roles in iconic films like Donnie Darko, Brokeback Mountain, and Nightcrawler have proven his versatility and commitment to every performance he delivers. Gyllenhaal is re-teaming with Nightcrawler director Dan Gilroy for his latest project Velvet Buzzsaw.  Set to premier at the Sundance Film Festival, this is yet another play by Netflix to grow their original content library. Check out the film’s debut trailer along with…

Bird Box has taken the cinematic landscape by storm, with its accessibility on Netflix leading the to the film becoming one of the most viewed movies of 2018. While critic and audience reception has been mixed at best, it has inspired enough conversation to even inspire its own meme culture, displaying just how much the film has captured the mainstream attention. With all of that success, the question of whether or not there should be a sequel has already been asked by dozens of fans. While Netflix has said there is no current plan for a sequel, Bird Box director Susanna Bier shared…

Game of Thrones has been a game-changer in the realm of TV, bringing the same epic scope and storytelling that many have come to expect from the big screen. Despite being on a premium service like HBO, it has been able to attract a nearly-universal audience that devoutly follows and discusses the show in anticipation. One of the only controversial aspects of the show however is the incest that takes place. The most recent example of this came at the end of Season 7, with Jon having relations with his aunt Daenerys (Dany) Targaryen. However, it appears that George R.R. Martin…

The Golden Globes is one of the biggest nights in awards season, as the Oscar picture often becomes quite clearer after the awards are handed out. Here are the winners from last night’s show, including the two major surprises that won best picture respectively. Best Motion Picture – Drama “Black Panther” “BlackKklansman” “Bohemian Rhapsody” *Winner “If Beale Street Could Talk” “A Star Is Born” Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy “Crazy Rich Asians” “The Favourite” “Green Book” *Winner “Mary Poppins Returns” “Vice” Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture – Drama Glenn Close (“The Wife”) *WINNER Lady Gaga…

Bird Box has surprisingly become the talk of the town since its Netflix debut. Despite the film scoring mixed reviews and often being joked about for its derivative set-up, it has become one of the most viewed films in Netflix’s original content library. The film has spawned its on meme culture, taking social media by storm with dozens of clever jokes poking fun at the film. One of the biggest byproducts of this culture is the “Bird Box Challenge”. Here is an official description of the phenom from ABC News: The film has Bullock and company masking their eyes to avoid…
