Even an Amazing Cast Can’t Bring The Dead Don’t Die to Life

Sadly, the idea of The Dead Don’t Die is better than the movie itself. The Dead Don’t Die is a Jim Jarmusch zombie movie starring Bill Murray, Adam Driver, and Tilda Swinton among many others, which is among the most exciting genre ideas in recent memory. A great filmmaker who doesn’t regularly dabble in genre…

Black Mirror’s latest season features an episode where Miley Cyrus takes us behind the curtain of being a Hannah Montana-esque…

King of the Monsters’ Director on Why Godzilla’s Cinematic Universe Was Way Ahead of Its Time

“I truly believe if you add Godzilla to any movie, it becomes a better movie,” director Michael Dougherty said during a Q&A this spring at Toho Studios. “Think about it.
