Movie Review: Arrival (2016)

From its opening shot of a house both sleek and warm to its transcendent finale, Arrival arrests attention with a grasp that is firm yet ephemeral. It is a sublime and profound experience, touching its audience on an emotional, intellectual and spiritual level, a film that declares both its originality and its ancestry. And what…

Movie Review: Lights Out (2016)

Unable to sleep one night, young Martin (Gabriel Bateman, “Annabelle”) ventures from his room to investigate some whispering he hears in the hallway. He discovers his mother, Sophie (Maria Bello, “The 5th Wave”), talking in hushed tones to someone in the shadows. She apologizes, asking, “Did we wake you?” and sends him back to bed….

Movie Review: The Thing (2011)

A shapeshifting creature from outer space. Interesting (and a bit campy) the first time it was introduced to movie going audiences in 1951’s “The Thing from Another World” (which was adapted from the short story “Who Goes There?”). Downright fucked up scary in 1982, when John Carpenter updated the scenario and released “The Thing.” Clunky…

Red Band Movie Trailer: The Thing (2011)

I’m not entirely sure why this latest trailer for The Thing is red-band; it’s got some good shots of the shape shifting creature, shape shifting and killing a scientist or two, but there isn’t anything that should raise the ire of the MPAA. But anyways, if you recall the original “The Thing,” it started with…

Movie Review: Final Destination 5 (2011)

I didn’t think it was possible, but apparently one can squeeze blood from a turnip. The vegetable in this case is the “Final Destination” series. The blood, well, that is Final Destination 5, the fifth movie in this one-note franchise sure to once again raise the heartbeat of moviegoers keen on watching the young and…

Movie Trailer: The Thing (2011)

Replacing Kurt Russell with Mary Elizabeth Winstead? That’s gotta be counted as a strike against the remake of The Thing. Then again, maybe she has an inner Sigourney Weaver she can channel. From the first theatrical trailer which has debuted today, we can’t be sure. Unfortunately, there aren’t any instances of her directly confronting the…

Movie Trailer #2: Final Destination 5 (2011)

Fans of watching young kids die in bizarre fashion unite — the latest trailer for Final Destination 5 is here. While it too highlights several of the unorthodox methods by which one can die (LASIK, acupuncture), it differentiates itself from the previous trailer by showcasing more of the bridge collapse (which surprising is very well…
