Why do so many people love Comic-Con?  It’s the peeks at genre movies that will be hitting theaters soon.  So what hit at this year’s San Diego lovefest? In Time: coming this October, this story about how the world has “cured” people from aging…for a price stars Justin Timberlake and Amanda Seyfried.  The idea of [...]

It seems like just yesterday that the much-ballyhooed sequel to last year’s smash horror hit Paranormal Activity was in mortal danger. Last month, Kevin Greutert, the director of Saw VI, had been tapped to handle the project, but through some kind of legal juggling act, Lionsgate roped him back into spearheading this October’s Saw VII [...]

Last week it was reported that Saw VI director, and longtime series editor Kevin Greutert had officially signed on to helm the sequel to last year’s breakout horror hit Paranormal Activity for Paramount Pictures.

Is it possible to hold a film like Amanda Gusack’s In Memorium in a truly objective, critical light after seeing Oren Peli’s Paranormal Activity? I would have to say probably not, considering that’s the first question I asked myself when sitting down to write this. But here’s the thing: In Memorium, a haunting film that [...]

Tron Legacy is definitely on my list of most anticipated upcoming movies. I love the original Tron, and can’t wait to see a revitalized 3D version of that world with Jeff Bridges returning to the fold. Here’s the short list of some movies that I’m less excited about: Battleship. Monopoly. Ouija. Yes, it’s true: the [...]
