As much as it kills a little bit of my childhood to say this, it appears that BIG is getting a remake. Yes, BIG. The remake will be based on the 1988 Tom Hanks movie, of course. At least this will be a remake TV series, h…
The first trailer for TAK3N (yes, I'm still calling it that) has been released. Sort of looks like a hybrid of THE FUGITIVE MEETS TAKEN. Nevertheless, looks promising and Neeson is still kicking ass.
We Review Kevin Smith's new film Tusk and the the Series premiere of Fox's new Tween Batman Drama Gotham.
Okay, so HALLOWEEN III, despite being a great movie, pissed a lot people off with its lack of Michael Myers. So in 1988 we saw THE RETURN OF MICHAEL MYERS in HALLOWEEN 4. And then they had to go on and do 1989's HALLOW…
Bill himself, Alex Winter, just dropped probably the biggest bit of info yet on the long-gestating BILL & TED 3. His interview response below is a bit lengthy, but it's well worth the read. “[Bill & Ted] will …
Well, TAKEN 3 officially has a an new alternate title. It is now TAK3N. And you know what? I'm okay with. I remember the marketing for SCREAM 3 sometimes used the SCR3AM alternative. The same goes for SCREAM 4, so…
URBAN LEGEND is one of my favorite post-SCREAM teen slashers from 1998. So, naturally, when a sequel came about, I was a little more than excited. This is 2000's URBAN LEGENDS: FINAL CUT. Breakdown: Urban Legends: T…
So original MEAN GIRLS star Lindsay Lohan has an idea for a MEAN GIRLS sequel. And it actually sounds better than the MEAN GIRLS 2 we got in 2011. When asked how she felt about MEAN GIRLS being ten years old, this is how …
Excuse me if I seem a little giddy for this review. I finally got the chance to sit and watch TRAILER PARK BOYS: DON'T LEGALIZE IT, the third movie in the TRAILER PARK BOYS camp. And I'll tell you, after a, what, sev…
If you were eager for the Giger Aliens to make their re-debut in PROMETHEUS 2, then you'll be disappointed. Ridley Scott has confirmed that he is taking a different route with P2. “Right now, as we speak, it’s being w…

Doctor Who is Back and we recap and review the first 4 episodes of series 8!
In 2007 we witnessed Rob Zombie bring Michael Myers back through a remake. He swore he was done with the HALLOWEEN franchise. Blah, blah -- in 2009 we got Zombie's HALLOWEEN II. Breakdown: Michael Myers is still at …
Dimension Films has pulled the new sequel AMITYVILLE: THE AWAKENING from its January 2, 2015 release. There's no word yet on a new release date. This sounds bad. The film got a decent budget and production and this shou…
A new poster for the third chapter in the NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM series, SECRET OF THE TOMB, has been released. This is easily the most creative poster of the franchise, borrowing from Escher a little.
The year was 1998 and the seventh and "final" installment in the HALLOWEEN series had just concluded the saga with original heroin Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) beheading her demon and finally putting to res…
Today we look at a sequel -- scratch that, prequel -- to the 1994 live action movie THE FLINTSTONES. With an all-new cast, this is 2000's THE FLINTSTONES IN VIVA ROCK VEGAS. Breakdown: The Flintstones are at it again…

Ha, and here you thought JASON GOES TO HELL was the final FRIDAY. 2001 saw the return of Jason Voorhees, except he was in the year 2455...and in space. This is JASON X. Hint: the X is a play on words, being the tenth (X) …
I never thought about it like this, but maybe Dan Aykroyd has something here. What if the GHOSTBUSTERS brand had its own Marvel-style universe? Well that's exactly what Aykroyd has in store for GHOSTBUSTERS! With tal…
Remember PROBLEM CHILD? You know, the movie from the '90s that starred John Ritter where him and his wife adopt a child who turns out to be a total menace? Yeah, that one. It's getting the small-screen treatment! …

With the recent announcement of an I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER remake in the works over at Sony, I found it fitting to take a look at 1998's I STILL KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER. Breakdown: Julie's back in co…
It was inevitable. Sony is restarting the I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER franchise. Word is that this remake will try to stick closer to the novel by Lois Duncan -- and honestly, that might make for one boring movie. It …
1984 saw the debut of one of cinema's most diabolical villains. A year later he made his return. Arguably the most parodied entry in the franchise, this is 1985's A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET 2: FREDDY'S REVENGE. …
The official poster and trailer have finally been released for Blumhouse's remake/sequel of THE TOWN THAT DREADED SUNDOWN! Like I've stated numerous times, I'm a huge fan of the original TTTDS, and this trailer…

A little news on the GHOSTBUSTERS front. Bill Murray likes and approves of the idea of a female-led GHOSTBUSTERS flick! It sounds great to me. It sounds as good an idea as any other! There are a lot of women that could sc…
The new film, TERMINATOR: GENISYS, was announced as a plan trilogy, so there's no surprise that two more sequels have been given release dates. The second film will be coming May 19, 2017 and third will arrive a little…

Buried in an interview over at BD, director Joe Dante reveals that Warner Bros. and Amblin are currently working on a new GREMLINS -- but the director reminds us that he is not involved. Lots of people have asked me, but h…

Now you may or may not have already seen these, but if you feel like your life is lacking a little SLEEPAWAY CAMP action, then fear not! Jeff Hayes over at SleepawayCampMovies.com has made two short films on the subject…
Today's sequel is a movie that actually took five years to make, but was an even longer time coming. Original SLEEPAWAY CAMP director Robert Hiltzik wanted his own official follow-up to his cult classic. So in 2008, we…
