For one thing, it feels kind of grown-up. It doesn’t pull its punches: The Sanderson sisters may be a little goofy, but they’re taken seriously as a threat because we’ve seen the flashbacks and know that they’re legitimate child murderers....
Why It’s Essential Viewing “Heaven Knows What” is the type of movie that pulls you into a very specific world and doesn’t let you go until you almost feel like you’ve lived through it yourself. It has big “Toad Road” energy, big “Kids” energy, and it definitely shares a foundation with that classic Smashing Pumpkins video, “Try, Try, Try.” This is to say, if you’re emotionally prepared to be emotionally wrecked, then you’re ready to watch this movie!...

Zombieland Red Band Movie Trailer By Russ Fischer/Aug. 5, 2009 9:45 am EST At Comic Con Sony showed off a funny, gory red band trailer for Ruben Fleischer’s Zombieland, and the clip is now online at MySpace. I love this trailer. OK, it doesn’t have the good little Cynthia Knickerbocker interlude in the original trailer, but there’s a lot of great slo-mo gore and undead destruction in here. And I’m a sucker for a good ck-block joke, especially when there are about ten people left in the world to do the ck-blocking....

By Chris Evangelista/Feb. 19, 2021 7:00 am EST On one hand, an American Train to Busan remake is a bad idea.

There is a line around the block to get into the recently opened Wizarding World flagship store, and even more people inside, almost shoulder-to-shoulder as they browse the chocolate-covered frogs or pick out custom-made wands....
