‘Truth Or Dare’ Review: One Of Blumhouse’s Worst Horror Movies By Matt Donato/April 11, 2018 7:30 am EST Jeff Wadlow’s Truth Or Dare is an inconsequential brand of horror likened to Stiles White’s Ouija or more recently John R.

107 Reasons You Need To See Richard Linklater’s ‘Boyhood’ By Peter Sciretta/July 1, 2014 12:45 pm EST Richard Linklater’s Boyhood is one of my favorite movies of the year so far. The film tells the story of a young boy’s childhood from age 5 to age 18. You’ve probably also heard that the movie was filmed over the course of 12 years using the same actors. But it is an independent film which I understand is a hard sell for some of you....

Chucky Season 1 Ending Explained: Who Lived, Who Died, Who Wants To Play Again? SYFY By Deshawn “DeLa Doll” Thomas/Dec. 5, 2021 1:59 pm EST The range of emotions the “Chucky” TV series has put me through made me feel almost as bats*** insane as the “Child’s Play” franchise itself — not that I’m complaining.

What Are Dumbledore’s Secrets, Exactly? Warner Bros. Between the title and synopsis, we might have some room to speculate about the plot of “Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore.” Albus Dumbledore is a complicated and wise man.
