Written and directed by Christopher Nolan, this summer’s Oppenheimer is an IMAX®-shot epic thriller that thrusts audiences into the pulse-pounding paradox of the enigmatic man who must risk destroying the world in order to save it. Sounds pretty intense, yeah? Well according to Nolan himself in a new chat with Wired, it’s “kind of a horror movie.” “Some people leave the movie absolutely devastated,” Nolan tells the outlet. “They can’t speak. I mean, there’s an element of fear that’s there in the history and there in the underpinnings. But the...

After the reveal of what titles will be included in Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Vol. 1, there’s obviously been speculation as to what will be included in the second volume.

From absurd dashcam footage to amusing cat videos, it’s pretty safe to assume that the vast majority of real-world recordings are completely banal in nature – so why is it that Found Footage movies are almost exclusively associated with the horror genre? If you really think about it, we should have seen major Found Footage entries in pretty much every single genre by now, and yet filmmakers still insist on trying to make the next Blair Witch Project year after year. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a sucker for POV...

It truly goes without saying that the first three Indiana Jones films are some of the most beloved films ever made with one of the most beloved characters ever to grace the big screen in Harrison Ford’s Henry Jones. Jr. Spawned from the gray matter of George Lucas and brought to the screen by Steven Spielberg, these films are gilded in the eyes of cinema fans and sit alongside other beloved IPs such as Star Wars and James Bond. I could sit here and indulge in a warmed-over analysis of...

Writer/Director Nick Cassavetes channels the same grit of Alpha Dog for his latest, God Is a Bullet, adapted from Boston Teran‘s based-on-true-events best-selling novel. Only this time, the filmmaker doubles down on the bone-shattering violence… and the runtime. God Is a Bullet uses the sleazy criminal world, a talented pair of leads, and visceral violence to offset a straightforward narrative. Bob Hightower (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) lives a simple life in an affluent suburban town. He’s a desk cop and a doting dad who still has a close relationship with his ex-wife. That changes when Bob finds his...

That Legendary Television and Netflix’s animated series “Skull Island” comes from creator/writer/executive producer Brian Duffield makes perfect sense. The writer behind Underwater, Love and Monsters, and Spontaneous has already established an affinity for larger-than-life monsters, a sense of adventure, and an uncanny knack for tugging at the heartstrings in the process. All three of those elements capture the essence of the monstrously sized yet tender-hearted King Kong, and they’re at the core of “Skull Island,” a lighthearted standalone series that goes big on nonstop monster mayhem. “Skull Island” hits the ground running with an action-heavy sequence introducing...

It used to be that video game adaptations were limited to big budget franchises, with household names like Super Mario Bros. and Mortal Kombat getting blockbuster movies while more niche experiences like Dino Crisis and System Shock were mostly ignored by non-gamer audiences. Not only that, but corporate expectations and bloated production budgets meant that these big screen adaptations would often misunderstand what made these franchises popular in the first place. Fortunately, it seems that the days of the “video game curse” are far behind us. Not only are recognizable...

AMC’s “The Walking Dead” has crawled back out of its shallow grave following the series finale that aired back in November with “The Walking Dead: Dead City.” The first of many spin-offs on the horizon, “Dead City” follows Maggie (Lauren Cohan) and Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) as they venture into a walker-infested New York City to rescue Maggie and Glenn’s son Hershel who has been kidnapped by a former-Savior.  Set a few years after the flagship series’ strong finale, Maggie and Negan have gone their separate ways since their intensive...
