Anime/manga eyes have often been exaggerated as large on the printed page, but here it's in full play in a "live-action" situation and it works. Photo Credit: Courtesy Twentieth Century Fox. I'm not often a fan of 3-D in movies – the effect it often only included as a token effort, but there's so much depth and[...]

I've largely enjoyed Rebel Wilson's performance across the 1st and 3rd Pitch Perfect movies (let's all ignore the second one even existed) In Isn't it Romantic, I was really hoping for a confluence of elements to come together to have a fun time with I was hoping for romantic comedy's equivalent to Airplane Unfortunately, this[...]

The first was the movie of her first novel Disobedience It starred Rachel Weisz as a woman who returns to her Orthodox Jewish community in London to attend the funeral of her rabbi father, and rekindles a romantic relationship with her childhood friend, played by Rachel McAdams. Naomi Alderman is a serious geek, a huge fan of Buffy the[...]

[Editor's Note: In this series, Madeline Potts (a bonafide millennial) watches all the "old" movies she never watched as a kid From Star Wars (we know, we were shocked someone hasn't seen it, too) to campy sci-fi movies from the '70s-  she's going to take it all on.] In this installment, to celebrate the day that a[...]

There's nothing at all wrong with moderate-budget/limited-cast science fiction films that are more thought experiments than robots and explosions. So

These days it seems like you can't throw a bucket of popcorn in a movie theater without hitting at least one cinema-focused podcaster They come in varying flavors but primarily tend to be contemporary film reviews There are others that focus on the industry, writing, gossip and more, but one that's been running for a[...]

Netflix's latest feature film release, Polar, is an enjoyable carnival ride of violence and mayhem that will directly appeal to fans of the Smokin' Aces

There are few filmmakers as frustrating as M. Night Shyamalan - he has some considerable talents in creating an interesting premise, and his technical

Where the movie may not appeal to everyone is that it's not going to ever spoon feed answers to the audience The characters in the film are just trying to survive, they don't really have the luxury of investigating into the why and how of it all. The cast is amazing, and it's worth a watch[...]

With each film trying to outdo the last – there was less storyline to them than your average porn movie In Bumblebee, there's a narrative thread that carries the story along – which happens to include a number of fighting robots moments, but those aren't the end-all, be-all of the film Charlie is similar to[...]

Warner Bros. has managed to pull off another perfectly serviceable entry into their DC Extended Universe of films with Aquaman. Is it great or memorable?

We just need people to tune into the movie and prove there is still a high demand for more Timeless. In case you can't catch up on both seasons (available on Hulu), you can check out 11 moments from the series that this Bleeding Cool Clockblocker recommends you brush up on before "The Miracle of Christmas."[...]

Let's be honest, since the first trailers started to emerge, Mortal Engines has seemed to be a film that the studio had no idea how to sell to audiences.

The only deeper reveals involve Kingpin's motivations around trying to punch open holes to other worlds. All that being said, it's a movie so capably written and delivered that it's more than enough to make up for the atrocious 3rd Sam Raimi and both Marc Webb films However what elevates it into an entirely new tier[...]

Still, there are TV lovers out there who may not have heard of Timeless or they just don't have the chance to catch up on the series in time for the movie airing on Thursday, December 20 at 8 p.m ET/PT. If that is the case, enjoy a spoiler-filled introduction and detailed recap to prepare you[...]

During Monday Night Football's halftime show, Marvel Studios dropped the hotly anticipated newest trailer for their 21st MCU film, Captain Marvel.

Ralph Breaks the Internet is delightful, charming, has more heart than Ready Player One, and a better internal logic than Tron: Legacy. In short, it's a

If you want something that involves some solid actors chewing up the scenery in a supremely goofy take on a historical fiction by a director and scriptwriter who's never even read Wikipedia, this may be the thing for you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fv8-iWs8nE0Video can't be loaded because JavaScript is disabled: Robin Hood Final Trailer (2018) | Movieclips Trailers (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fv8-iWs8nE0) [rwp-review-ratings[...]

Readers of this are going to wonder- is it true? Is Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald as lackluster and joyless as the prior films? We can cut

Remember the first of the two movies about the White House having taken over by a terrorist siege? No, not White House Down with Channing Tatum, that one was ghastly The one with Gerard Butler Hunter Killer is a lot like that in that while no one should ever confuse it with Oscar-level artistry, it is[...]

But only one rivalry stands heads, shoulders, and capes above all others…reaching such a fever pitch that DC Entertainment, Cartoon Network, and Warner Bros. could no longer turn a deaf ear and a blind eye to the inevitable. With that, we present… Warner Bros. So what do we know about it? Not much, except that you can find the[...]

Halloween is a franchise that represents one of the pillars of the modern era of horror films. Introducing us to the William Shatner mask-wearing Michael

At times it feels like he doesn't even care that much about what's going on around him; in one scene where he's told he'll be on the Apollo 11 crew and the first man to step onto the lunar surface, he simply nods and says, "ok." It's not bravado, it's just the fact that he's[...]

When word first emerged that we were going to be getting a Venom movie, people were excited at the prospect It was always a popular Spider-Man storyline from the post-Secret Wars era Then the next news hit: while it's still a production by Sony (the company who holds the reins on the use of the[...]

Watching the trailer for Bad Times at the El Royale gives fans of a certain genre of film a particular thrill. The kind of people who get excited anytime

So by now unless you've been living under a rock you are aware that A Star is Born isn't a new film. In fact this is the fourth time it's been developed

The best way to describe it is that it sort of looked like the offspring of a Quentin Tarantino movie and Cabin in the woods That is a pretty accurate description of the final product and, if anything, it doesn't say enough about what a fascinating production this is To kick things off it features[...]

Kenneth Branagh's Hercule Poirot might be getting a "wonder"-ful co-star in Gal Gadot (Wonder Woman), who may join Fox's adaptation of Death on the Nile.

The military knows full well what's going on (they've seen some of the earlier movies it seems), and taps Doctor Casey Bracket (played by Olivia Munn, who handily delivers the film's best performance) to come in and help examine some of their findings. It turns out there's another Predator who's coming to look for their survivor and[...]

The 5th film in The Conjuring series "The Nun" is....a film we have now seen. Suffered through, is probably more accurate.
