(10/20/18 1:26am)
After 40 years of lackluster sequels (“H20”, “Halloween: Resurrection”), bizarre reinterpretations (“Halloween (2007)”) and good films marred by franchise association (“Halloween III: Season of the Witch”), Jamie Lee Curtis and John Carpenter are back, along with writer/director David Gordon Green (“Pineapple Express”, “Stronger”, “Prince Avalanche”) and writers Danny McBride (“Pineapple Express”, “This is the End”) and Jeff Fradley (“Vice Principals”) to retcon everything and bring you the true sequel to “Halloween (1978)”: the aptly titled “Halloween (2018).”

(10/20/18 12:16am)
“The Hate U Give,” based on the 2017 book of the same name, is a film that’s difficult to introduce. Make no mistake; this is not a comment on the film’s quality. How does one craft a light intro paragraph to a film that tackles such difficult subjects with such grace? Like the job of adapting the widely praised and widely banned young adult novel to the screen, it seems almost impossible. But then you realize that it just happened.

The Reel Life: "First Man (2018)"
(10/16/18 11:57am)
Despite being the first man to walk on the moon, Neil Armstrong is a relatively quiet person. You’d think with his monumental achievement that fundamentally changed history, he would be more boastful about it. But no, he’s a calm and reserved person, unlike what most would likely think. Damien Chazelle’s (“La La Land", “Whiplash”) latest film pulls that complicated persona off flawlessly.
The Reel Life: "Bad Times at the El Royale"
(10/16/18 11:07am)
What makes a mystery? Some think it's creating a world where audiences know something just isn’t right. Some think it's creating a place, not a person, that holds some evil to it. Some think it’s the sense of inescapable dread, that no matter what happens, something worse is on its way. Writer/Director Drew Goddard, a man familiar with dread, thanks to his writing on “Cloverfield” and “The Martian” and his directing on “The Cabin in the Woods,” thinks it’s all of those things and a whole lot more.

(10/07/18 12:44am)
With Spider-Man now fully entrusted (more like en-dusted) to the MCU, Sony is forced to rely on its other spider characters to start a cinematic universe of their own. And none could be better than the liquid, alien, prone-to-violence-and-chomping-people’s-heads-off antihero that is Venom.
