You might be tempted to think that if you’ve seen one home invasion movie, you’ve seen them all. While it’s true that the conventions of this subgenre make it slightly more difficult to be truly unique, creative, and distinct from previous efforts, I would humbly suggest that there’s still a little more juice to be wrung out of these movies....

By Chris Evangelista/Oct. 12, 2020 4:30 pm EST Steven Spielberg’s The Adventures of Tintin is a rollicking animated adventure that’s cut from the same cloth as the Indiana Jones series. Spielberg’s Tintin made good money, and for years now, the plan has been for Peter Jackson to direct a sequel. Spielberg and Jackson have sworn up and down that the sequel was coming, no, really, it is – but there has been almost no real movement on the project....

‘I Just Don’t Get It’ Sony Pictures During a chat with Yahoo’s Kevin Polowy to promote her new drama “The Starling,” McCarthy responded to the backlash against the “Ghostbusters” reboot, which was so severe that the film was rebranded as “Ghostbusters: Answer the Call” for home video. “There’s no end to stories we can tell, and there’s so many reboots and relaunches and different interpretations, and to say any of them are wrong, I just don’t get it....

A Man Who Chose the Stars Paramount+ The trailer begins with a voiceover that questions whether Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart), a man who seemingly “chose the stars,” has been seeking or running. It looks like he’s in an old greenhouse on his family estate, the Château Picard vineyard in France. He bends down to pick up a shard of glass, holds it up, and examines its rose design. What’s the significance?...

The Top 5 Kristen Stewart Performances, And Where To Watch Them Neon By Chris Evangelista/Oct. 6, 2021 1:33 pm EST Here we are, in the year of lord 2021, and I’m still seeing folks on Al Gore’s internet claiming that Kristen Stewart is a bad actress. The entire basis of this opinion seems based around Stewart’s admittedly stiff work in the “Twilight” saga. But the “Twilight” film franchise ended nearly a decade ago, and Stewart has done so much more since then....

Those Mini-Pufts From ‘Ghostbusters: Afterlife’ Are Toys Now, Obviously By Chris Evangelista/April 8, 2021 12:30 pm EST The minute everyone laid eyes on the Mini-Pufts from the recently released Ghostbusters: Afterlife clip I’m fairly confident we all knew they would inevitably be turned into toys.

Fantastical elements serving a dual purpose TriArt Film Abbasi’s matter-of-fact approach to the film’s fantastical elements serves a dual purpose. It makes easier the accepting of this world, in which a humanoid creature like Tina can live as a human, but it also speaks to her assimilation into it. She spends time on her couch with dirtbag boyfriend, but she’s forced to ignore the odd fact that his dogs seem especially scared of her....
