When I think of “hockey movies” I think about movies where the sport is at the center of the story: films like Miracle or The Mighty Ducks. Some of the sport’s more notable film entries, however, focus on the darker, violent side of hockey: films like Slap Shot. From the opening moments of the movie, Goon is one of those movies;  a loosely based biography of Doug Glatt, a bruiser who was brought... 

When it comes to horror and suspense, it doesn’t get much better than the original trailblazer, Edgar Allen Poe. Yet, Poe’s world has gotten a rather horrid treatment when it comes to film. Perhaps it’s because Poe’s creations were more about the dark recesses of the mind – something about his prose just can’t make the leap to the big screen. Maybe it’s because we’re so enamored... 

The modern horror movie scene is awash with films full of incessant gore, torture porn, and jump-in-your-seat moments. Ti West’s The Innkeepers doesn’t fall into any of those categories. The tale of the last weekend at a century-old hotel, seen through the eyes of the inn’s last two employees, the film relies more on solid character development and atmosphere than cheap thrills. Luke (Pat Healy)... 

Frank (Joel Murray) is cynical man. He hates the culture of the world around him and finds that it’s causing the fall of civilization. Suddenly, Frank hits a rut in his life; he gets fired from his job, his daughter is a spoiled brat that doesn’t want to visit him and his doctor tells him that he’s got a brain tumor. Just when things are at their bleakest and Frank is about to kill himself, he... 

The year is 2079 and a convicted felon who answers only to his surname, Snow, is the only shot the Secret Service has to free the President’s daughter from a hostage situation aboard a space prison full of the worst of Earth’s criminals.  He has limited time, an ulterior motive and a sarcastic wit.   If you are thinking I meant to say Snake Plissken is the only shot they have, your confusion... 

Over the past decade or two (or perhaps since their inception), horror movies have been plagued by cliches. Few fright films can escape the trappings of the genre and make a lasting impression. The Cabin in the Woods not only embraces those cliches, it plays with them, twists them, spinning those cliches on their heads. The cliches are the movie. The result is quite possibly one of the most enjoyable... 

James Cameron’s Titanic is one of those polarizing pictures. People either love it or hate it, and it’s very rare to find someone in between. On top of that, after it dominated pop culture for so long in 1997, it has become really popular to dislike the phenomenon – a backlash that seems to rear its head when something becomes popular for too long. The truth is that the movie didn’t... 

It’s been thirteen years since that pie was at the business end of Jim Levinstein (Jason Biggs). Now, Jim has reunited with his old high school buddies Oz (Chris Klein), Kevin (Thomas Ian Nicholas) and Finch (Eddie Kay Thomas) just in time for their high school reunion. They’ve all got their own accomplishments and mishaps: Jim is struggling to keep his marriage with Michelle (Alyson Hannigan)... 

When we last left the adventures of the demigod Perseus, he had survived a horrific remake of an already flawed and sadly dated (although much beloved) iconic film. While there was a lot of room for improvement from the original, the remake wound up introducing a slew of new problems ranging from 3D effects that were so bad that the movie became the example of what not to do with 3D to a plot so riddled... 

The classic fairy tale of Snow White has two cinematic adaptations this year, as well as the recent Once Upon a Time television series on ABC. That’s a lot of Snow White to go around. Fortunately, each one has their own unique take on the character. In the case of the recent release, Mirror Mirror, that take is a more traditional one, taking a lighthearted approach to the story with only a few minor...
