I’ll describe it now, but feel free to scroll down and watch it for yourself first. The trailer for Get Out opens […]
So a man buys his pregnant wife a doll to complete the set she’s been collecting. And wouldn’t you just know it, the doll has a demon in it (more or less). Very quickly, bad things start to happening to the couple. They try to explain it away logically, and of course that fails. […]

If you’re anything like me, you have oodles of useless movie trivia in your brain. It sits there doing no one any good until you’re at a party and you overhear someone saying, “Who that actress from the Scream movies?” Of course you then cut your friend off mid-sentence to lean over and say, “Neve […]
It’s not the biggest weekend at the box office, but that’s fine with me as I’m still playing a little catch up. My mpm (movies per month) has seen a steep decline this year as my other hobbies edge in on my time. So I’m thankful for weekends like this where there’s nothing I’m dying […]

There are three ways to think about The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug. The first is as a prequel to the amazing Lord of the Rings trilogy. Next is as a sequel to The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. Last is as a stand-alone movie. Your opinion will vary depending on the angle from which […]
What a fine month November was for movie viewing. I saw nine movies in theaters, visited a new theater in Annapolis, MD, and got to watch a live Q&A with the funny Steve Coogan. Not bad at all (even if I did have my heart set on seeing ten movies). What’s even greater is the […]

It’s probably not shocking that the people behind the Spider-Man costume for the The Amazing Spider-Man came up with several designs before they settled on the one Andrew Garfield ended up wearing last summer. Now we finally get to see what Spider-Man’s alternate costumes would have looked like. None of them look bad, but I […]
