You had to see this coming, didn’t you? We are in the era of reboots. Anything that once was is getting either a sequel twenty something years later or rebooted entirely. Now, I’m not complaining. There are many times that it actually works. The first Jurassic World brought back some wonderful memories of Jurassic Park, while still being new. And yes, I did enjoy Jurassic World 2. I’m not going to go into just all of the examples of reboots that worked and didn’t work. Let’s talk about the fact that one of the horror movies that made you cry…

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The Nun is a spin-off film from The Conjuring that promises to be more terrifying than anything that we have ever seen before. While in this era it’s not uncommon to see spin-off movies from popular films, it is new that a horror movie would earn the same treatment. From The Conjuring, we got Annabelle, a story about a demonic doll that will also be seeing another addition to its own franchise next year. The Nun’s plot involves a priest and a novice sent to Romania to investigate the suicide of a nun at the Carta Monastery. This nun is…

For one of my film classes in college, our professor decided to perform a small experiment. He brought up on the projection screen several movies. The likes of Legally Blonde, Not Another Teen Movie, another fairly “girly” film, and the Hurt Locker. He then asked the class to point out which films we thought were directed by a man and which ones were directed by a woman? Naturally, the whole class chose the Hurt Locker as the “manly” film and the others obviously had to be directed by all women. We were wrong. Very wrong. Because of our preconceived notions,…

It’s great when a show that the networks have turned their cheek on to find a new home on streaming services such as Netflix and Hulu. Luckily, for the show Lucifer; when Fox decided not to pick it back up, Netflix swooped in and saved the day. Despite having an 8.2/10 rating on IMDB, Lucifer didn’t seem to be on Fox’s radar and as we all know, Fox is notorious for canceling shows during their prime. For Lucifer fans, the most exciting news is that the team has officially started filming for their fourth season. Returning for ten episodes, Lucifer’s…

Can you imagine what a Dora the Explorer movie would look like if it was done by Michael Bay? Suddenly the childhood cartoon icon would be running through the jungle with explosions everywhere, trying to elude the villainous Swiper, and maybe a Transformer or two would show up. In an article by The Hollywood Reporter, the rumor of a live-action Dora the Explorer film being completed through a Michael Bay production company began. We then all speculated what something like this strange combination would look like; likely not anything that we’d expect from a cartoon character that helped teach children. In…

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]If you’re a fan of Netflix’s Stranger Things, you know that despite having a cast full of children, there are plenty of dark themes to the show. In the first season, we had to deal with the disappearance of one child and the death of a teenager. In the second season, it felt very possible that Will Byers (Noah Schnapp) would be too far gone. So, how is the third season going to be able to top the heart-pounding, powerful episodes we’ve seen so far? According to producer Shawn Levy, season three is darker than anyone expected. While Stranger Things…

Audiobooks are huge now. Instead of taking the time to sit down and read a book, people are choosing to put on their headphones and listen. That is not me dissing the concept at all. We all live busy lives and there is, in fact, scientific evidence that proves that listening to your novels is just the same as reading. It’s better for your mind to listen to books while driving to work rather than the radio or Pandora. And for Harry Potter fans, who doesn’t want to listen to your favorite stories on the way to and from the…

There are times where movies based on video games work and times where it doesn’t. We could have a Lara Craft or a Mario Brothers film. Sony’s third-person action shooter game Uncharted is getting the big screen transformation and will star the likes of Tom Holland and Bryan Cranston. Already off to a good start. Produced by Ari Arad and set to be directed by Shawn Levy, Levy offered some updates as to the excitement for Tom Holland to be playing the role as Nathan Drake and why Uncharted is being moved forward before Starman. “I mean, as of right…

Who knows how long we will sit here pondering about a Synder Cut version of Justice League. Despite the film coming out last year, there is still arguing over if a Synder Cut originally exists. For those who are not aware of this dilemma, there is a group of DCEU fans who believe that the Justice League we saw on screen was not the original, intended version. And that there’s a movie that exists that was entirely Zack Synder’s rendition of it, before Joss Whedon stepped in to finish the film after Synder had to walk away due to a family…
