Movie Review: 'The Foreigner'
It seems that I am not a big fan of the work of actor Pierce Brosnan. It’s not that I have an active dislike for the man, but rather, in looking at my cumulative opinion of his work over his 35-plus year career, I have only given Brosnan two positive reviews. Grant you, I have only been a critic for 20 years, but Brosnan was on TV for most of the time before I came into my profession. He had arguably his biggest successes in the James Bond franchise during my time as a critic. Then again, I don’t have a particularly high opinion of that franchise, either.

The Golden Trio's True Houses
It's commonly accepted by Harry Potter fans that the Golden trio were meant to represent the other three houses. Fan theory is that Hermione represented Ravenclaw, Harry represented Slytherin, and Ron represented Hufflepuff. I don't strictly think that's true.

'The New Mutants: Trailer 1': A Fanboy Reacts
So, this is another section in my little Fanboy thing I've got going on where I react to the most recent trailers for upcoming films that excite. Yes, they will tend to be comic-book based, but I'm a nerd, and these are the things that interest me. These will just be quick, first impressions from watching the trailers, with my immediate reactions and maybe some deeper musings if I notice anything.

Reed Alexander's Review of 'Crimson Peak (2015)'
It's a rare moment when I feel compelled to pay 10 bones for an actual movie ticket when I know I can just wait for it to come out on Netflix and watch it for the subscription fee along with dozens of other movies. Then there's Guillermo del Toro. I'ma do my best not to suck his dick fan boy style and give this movie an honest review. But If I'm going to pretend to be honest, I squeed like a little school girl when I saw the previews and pretty much screamed "SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!" at the automated ticket machine... because I hate humans... and no I don't want a fucking regal card.

Movie Review: 'Risk'
The documentary Risk from director Laura Poitras is an engrossing and fascinating portrait of a man that history has yet failed to fully grasp. Julian Assange would like to be thought of as the Robin Hood of the information era, robbing the rich of their secrets and sharing them with the world. But Assange’s choice to make himself the public face of his Wikileaks organization has unquestionably gone to his head and rendered him a paranoid and strange figure who believes conspiracies against him are hiding behind every corner.

Three Movies to Watch on Halloween and One to Avoid
It's my favorite time of the year. It’s Halloween after all! Leaves are changing colors, the air is getting cooler, spooky decorations are everywhere, haunted houses spring up everywhere, ghost tours are readily acessable, and horror movies are playing on TV and in theaters. Here are my picks for some of the best ones to watch.

H'ween Horrorthon: 'Duel' (1971)
"I'd like to report a truck driver that's been endangering my life!"— Dennis Weaver as David Mann. Hello one and all. Before Steven Allan Spielberg became the most influential, wealthiest, most über-famous film director in the 20th and 21st Century, he was just a regular film buff whose imagination was boundless and knew no end. His enthusiasm was never lost on me as a youth. I have the distinct memory of having gone to see his seminal sci-fi classic Close Encounters of the Third Kind back 40 years ago — and falling asleep throughout most of it. I also recollect being "rescued" by my late aunt back in 1982 and being taken to see E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial, at least twice. His many films, ranging from Raiders of the Lost Ark, The Color Purple, Jurassic Park, Schindler's List, Saving Private Ryan, A.I. Artificial Intelligence, Minority Report, The Terminal, and The BFG were all seen by me multiple times. But it's with great pleasure that this entry is due to what started this fine career in the first place: a horror movie.

Same Ol' Skinjobs
I have to preface all of this by admitting that I am a huge Phillip K. Dick fan. I’m often ambivalent or angry about adaptations to his work, largely because surrealist science fiction usually doesn’t survive the Hollywood turnstile without being stripped down to wacky technology and action scenes. The original Blade Runner is no exception, but of the many adaptations of Dick’s stories, it is one of the few that attempts to impart the tone of the original. The cynical noir surrealism is a perfect fit for a story that explores what it means to be human in a dehumanizing society.

Popular Disney Movie Fan Theories
You're lying if you're saying you don't like Disney movies — everyone loves Disney films. They're truly the most creative and unique films ever created, with brilliant storylines and unforgettable characters. The stories are so heartwarming and educational, Disney films are impossible to dislike. Every film starts off as a comedy, before reaching an upsetting moment, and then the ending is something we can all take for our personal lives — that's what makes Disney movies the best.
