8 Annoying Movie Ghosts Who Make Us Go ‘BoooOOOOoooo’

Most ghosts are scary—that’s generally what they’re known for—but some ghosts are more like pests. They barge into your life and instead of giving you nightmares, they give you headaches, so much so that you’d almost rather be spooked instead. Let’s look at some of the most annoying movie ghosts ever. 8) Slimer, Ghostbusters Slimer…

Men in Black: International Is a Galaxy of Fun for a New Generation

Men in Black: International will not be the best movie you see this year. There are plot issues, character arcs go unfinished, and the ending felt rushed. But it’s still a campy, cool sci-fi spy thriller—one that coasts on the natural charisma of Tessa Thompson and Chris Hemsworth, who may be one of this generation’s…

Balancing the Fantasy and Tragedy of A Monster Calls Took a Lot of Work

Director J.A. Bayona isn’t yet a household name, but don’t expect that to last much longer. He was the first person to cast Tom Holland, our new Spider-Man, in a leading role. His next film is the sequel to Jurassic World. And his new movie, A Monster Calls, opens wide on Friday. Based on the…

Movie Review: A Monster Calls Is a Monstrously Powerful Tearjerker

Though A Monster Calls is about a child and a talking tree, it’s more layered, emotional, and powerful than most movies starring adults. The film is a tale of loss, filled with life lessons anyone, children included, will find challenging and heartbreaking. Based on the book by Patrick Ness (who also wrote the screenplay), A…

This New A Monster Calls Trailer Is Simply Stunning

Whether or not J.A. Bayona’s new film A Monster Calls ends up being any good, we can say one thing for sure: it’s going to be beautiful. And, let’s be honest, if this trailer is any indication, it’ll probably be exceedingly good, too. Based on a fantasy novel by Patrick Ness, A Monster Calls is…

A Monster Calls Looks Like the Next Great Fantasy Fairy Tale Movie

A truly great fantasy fairy tale movie is a rare thing. In the ‘80s, films like The Dark Crystal, The Neverending Story and Labyrinth made the cut. Guillermo del Toro’s early films, The Devil’s Backbone and Pan’s Labyrinth, are worthy additions. And next year, we may need to add a new one to the pantheon.…

Why Darkman Is Still One Of The Best Superhero Movies Ever Made

Darkman — the tale of a sweet scientist who becomes a vigilante, hiding his scarred face behind bandages and masks — came out in 1990, showcasing the talents of up-and-comers Sam Raimi and Liam Neeson. It was the perfect blend of superhero tale and monster movie. And it’s only gotten better with age. Raimi, a…

8 Battleship clips unmask the alien invaders, and they all have goatees!

If you had any doubt that Battleship wasn’t going to be popcorn-binging highly watchable summertime garbage, let these eight clips from the movie convince you. Witness two adult males arguing about wasting a birthday wish, Liam Neeson visibly cash a paycheck onscreen, the fleshy aliens’ faces (they kind of look like reptile babies!), and pop…

Early reviews of Battleship are in: How does it live up to the Transformers legacy?

Every summer, there’s at least one huge-budget film that squanders $200 million or so on boring action, unfunny jokes, weird racial stereotypes and bloated special effects sequences. And apparently this summer, it’s officially Battleship. The “wet Transformers” movie has come out a whole month early in the U.K., which means that a rash of British…

Without a doubt, the most underrated ghost movie on this planet is the delightful comedy/horror flick High Spirits.

But as…
