You’ve surely heard by now that Bridesmaids/Spy director Paul Feig is working on a big screen reboot of Ghostbusters, which in fact just began filming today. True to Feig’s style, the quartet of NYC ghost hunters will be played by female actors this time around, with Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones …
The name Eli Roth has become a fairly respected one in recent years, and that’s why you’ll often find it attached to projects that weren’t actually directed by him. After the success of Cabin Fever and Hostel, Roth found himself not just writing and directing but also producing, and films like Clown and The Sacrament …
It was on June 20th of 1975 that Jaws swam its way into theaters, forever making millions of movie-goers terrified of the water. I’m not big into math but I’m pretty sure that means we’re fast approaching the 40th anniversary of Steven Spielberg’s terrifying classic, which returns to nearly 500 theaters across the country for …
The box office dominance of Jurassic World has truly been a sight to behold, and the numbers show that the long-awaited sequel not only had the most profitable domestic opening weekend of all time, but also the biggest global opening in the history of mankind.

Plenty of horror films that have come along in recent years have touted themselves as “throwbacks,” implying that they evoke the spirit of genre cinema from decades past. Very few, however, have actually managed to live up to the promise. Ti West’s 2009 film The House of the Devil is one that notably and admirably …
Due to the fact that I’m pretty lonely and don’t quite know what else to do with my free time, I went to see two movies at my local theater this past weekend. The first was Insidious: Chapter 3 on Thursday night, followed by Spy on Saturday night. And the two experiences couldn’t possibly have …
We’ve reached the end of another week – thank god! – which means it’s time to once again take a look at the coolest, weirdest and/or most awesome images I’ve stumbled across on the internet this week.
