Micah (Micah Sloat) doesn’t believe a demon is in his house. His girlfriend Katie (Katie Featherston) believes a spook, specter, or ghost has been following her since childhood.
Micah is in constant doubt, yet still feels the need to go out and get an Ouija board to “cast out” the demon… or something. He is not [...]

Observe and Report is an odd, bizarre movie. What initially seems like an R-rated version of Paul Blart becomes dark, hard to watch, and terribly unfunny.

You know you’ve crossed a barrier when your film is quoted to the point of nausea in popular culture. That’s what happed to Jerry Maguire, simply one of the best things to happen the ‘90s, even if “Show me the money” was played out a few minutes after it was first said.
This is a brilliantly [...]

John Matrix. Is it even possible to have a cooler ‘80s name than John Matix? The answer is no. That’s just one of the hilarious things that makes Schwarzenegger’s Commando an absolute joy to watch. It’s like watching every ‘80s action movie cliché wrapped up into a single 90-minute package.
Within five minutes, three people have [...]

Featuring some of the more visually stunning dragons ever put on film, Reign of Fire is a slight misfire as a movie, but a nice piece to sit back and fast forward through to see the action scenes. Reign does deliver on its promises, however briefly, although at times it’s fair to feel cheated.
A nearly [...]

Marvel continues to pull the superheroes out of their long line of comics to toss onto the big screen. Hardly the best of their lot, the Fantastic Four are campy, goofy characters. They’re still better choices for a summer popcorn movie than some others in this era of adaptations. This is an undeniably fun romp, [...]

Upon release of Primeval, audiences were lost. Claiming to be the story of the worst serial killer in the history of the world, people were confused when they learned they walked into a creature feature. This led to terrible first impressions, awful world of mouth, and the wrong expectations. On a second viewing knowing what [...]
