Captain Marvel may seem to be the action movie event of the month, but for fans of martial arts cinema, there’s a far more exciting film coming to Video on Demand on March 22. Its name is Triple Threat, and it seems tailor-made for action junkies who grew up on a diet of ’80s hard-body action...

The final scene in 2017’s Split revealed that the movie, thought to be a self-contained M. Night Shyamalan thriller, had been a secret sequel to the writer-director’s own Unbreakable from 17 years earlier. While that twist was a very novel one at the time, it has been recently revealed to me...

Also you're probably knee-deep in horror movies because that's how late October works for movie nerds: We are beholden to watch at least a few extra horror flicks.

Screenlife — the screen-capture-style gimmick-turned-medium used in movies like Unfriended (2014) and Searching (2018) — feels like a textbook bad idea. The style was largely pioneered by Russian director and producer Timur Bekmambetov, whose studio, Bazelevs, developed technology to propel...

Warner Bros. has released this demo recording of one of the songs, originally written and performed by Randy Newman. Why they changed the lyrics and style to the version heard in...

A Star Is Born has changed from the story of an actress (1937) to the story of a musical actress (1954), then a rock star (1976), and now a pop diva. One thing that hasn’t changed, though, is the casting of a gay icon and a hot leading man in the central roles. Since that formula works, we’re...

A Star Is Born, the story of a romance between a fading male celebrity and a rising female artist so good it’s been told four times already, is in theaters now. Based on the incredible buzz the film has been getting from critics on the festival circuit, Warner Bros. smells Oscar gold as well as...

The Horror Corner took a week off to enjoy the amazing Fantastic Fest, where there were lots of horrors afoot, and I don't just mean Eric D. Snider wearing a wacky wrestling singlet for three days.
