X-Men Films Ranked From Worst to Best
Fewer film franchises have lasted as long as the X-Men films. Over the course of nine movies, they have thrilled children and adults alike, made superheroes relevant again, and offered thought provoking commentary on society.

Richard Linklater’s 'Boyhood' Left Out the Boy in Coming of Age Movie
Boyhood was 12 years in the making. Imagine embarking on a film project that adheres to the pace of real life, while actually holding onto all the actors through their own travails. Kudos are certainly warranted for Richard Linklater and a coming of age cast in for the long haul. Still, I hated this movie.

Damien Chazelle and Barry Jenkins On That #Oscars Moment
For two relatively new Hollywood directors, the 2017 Oscars couldn't have been any more of a nail biter. It took directors Damien Chazelle - a director who saw two out of three of his movies make it all the way to the Oscars - and Barry Jenkins, who has only two films under his belt, one of them being the critical darling and eventual Best Picture Oscar winner Moonlight - until the morning after the Oscars to process that incredible ending.

Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway Pull a "Steve Harvey"
Anyone watching the Oscars last night had to feel deeply sorry for actors Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway. In what is sure to become one of the biggest Oscar fiascos in history, the wrong Best Picture winner was announced at the 89th Academy Awards ceremony on February 26. The legendary Beatty and Dunaway somehow acquired the "Actress in a Leading Role" envelope which Best Actress Emma Stone (La La Land) says she'd been hanging onto throughout their presentation.

Golden Age of Superhero Movies 1938 - 1988
There are more than the few and the proud as the genre is born with a KA-POW! Adam West's Batman's warm smile and the soaring theme of Christopher Reeve's Superman followed by a barrage of sequels were part of the birth of The Golden Age of Superhero Movies from 1938 to 1988.

The Wild Man of the Navidad
As one may imagine, a state as wild and riddled with outlaws as Texas has given birth to more than a few twisted tales of the strange. Miles and miles of sparsely populated plains covered in the gnarled corpses of thorn covered mesquite, prickly pear cactus and dry gray tumbleweed has lent itself well to the cultivation of myths and legends born of superstition and moonshine. No matter how we attempt to civilize the massive state, its restless spirits simply will not be tamed and the rough, iron-willed people who inhabit its small towns have become the story-keepers, passing down the terrifying myths from one generation to the next. Some stories are simply wives tales, old yarns spun to keep the children close to home and the men from getting too rowdy on a Saturday night before Sunday mass arrives. But others hold far more credibility, with eyewitness accounts and chilling documentation that would make a believer out of the most stalwart skeptics.

None So Haunted as The Orphanage
As of late, after having watched several documentaries about haunted orphanages and “children of the grave”, I have found myself intensely interested in this particular variety of hauntings. Always fascinated with paranormal subject matter and a firm believer in the existence of the supernatural, stories focused around apparitions hold a special allure for me. It is not so much the mere chilling concept of spirits lingering between worlds, unable to rest, but the fact that the stories behind why they remain behind instead of crossing over are often far more disturbing the existence of the ghosts themselves.

'Dog Soldiers' Releases Terrifying Dogs
I have to admit, first of all, that I am a complete zealot for anything Scottish, especially when it comes to film. Over the years, the Scottish have continually produced noteworthy movies that instantly become classics. The producers, directors and actors alike all seem to have the same intuitive insight as to what makes for a tremendous film. The scripts are almost always superbly written, riddled with clever dialog; the scenes are always staged and cut with a keen eye for action and detail, allowing for the story to unfold naturally with momentum. I may be a bit biased due to my obsession with Scottish history and culture, but I have yet to find myself disappointed with any movie I have seen, thus far. The 2002 werewolf film DOG SOLDIERS, by the producers of HELLRAISER and director Neil Marshal, is no exception, keeping me on the edge of my seat till the rolling credits!
