In the worst tradition of hypocrites everywhere, Jerry Falwell Jr. admonished his flock to abstain from alcohol, premarital (and certainly extramarital) sexual activity, and no dancing. But as we now know, the president of Virginia’s Liberty University was not only fond of a stiff drink, he and his wife Becki were involved in a multiyear throuple with a twentysomething pool boy they met at Miami’s swanky Fontainebleau hotel.

If 1980’s “Terror Train” is considered a slasher film classic by horror afficionados Philippe Gagnon’s 2022 “Terror Train,” likely, will not.

Written by Ian Carpenter and Aaron Martin, the new version of “Terror Train” takes the original film’s plot and drains the fun and creativeness out of it.

Sixteen years later writer and director Todd Field has returned to directing with “Tár,” an artful array of cinematic tics with a strong message concerning the nearly-unwinnable war against the puerile arguments of the cancel culture generation.

Consistently interesting, Field’s screenplay is full of ideas and sharp dissections of the world we live in today, all revealed through

On March 29th, after passing overwhelmingly in both houses of Congress, President Joe Biden signed into law the Emmett Till Antilynching Act—sixty-seven years after the Black teenager was brutally murdered in Mississippi in 1955 by two white men angry over Till’s supposed whistling at one of their wives. He was just fourteen at the time of his murder.

An ancient terror hidden deep in a bog is the source of the evil held in the creepy Shudder original film “Moloch."

While lifelong horror aficionados might not get the benefits of full-on frights (we horror fans have seen it all), the film’s eerie aura is quite effective and holds a sense of unease throughout.

In this effective supernatural creeper

There just isn’t enough story to carry Olivia Wilde’s “Don’t Worry Darling” through a feature length running time. While the premise is there, the screenplay (from Katie Silberman, and Carey & Shane Van Dyke) fails to have anything new or interesting to say about the film’s themes, nor does Wilde have the skills as a director to pull it all off.

In an attempt to mix different genres

From the start, Allan Ungar’s “Bandit” takes the wrong storytelling route, in both its screenplay and casting of the lead role.

Kraig Wenman adapted Ed Arnold and Robert Knuckle’s novel “The Flying Bandit: Bringing Down Canada's Most Daring Armed Robber,” morphing this undeniably exciting true tale into a comedy of errors, sort of. Sadly, the true error is in the screenplay.
