‘Into The Storm’ Trailer 2: Tornadoes! “They’re Everywhere!” I don’t know about you, but I’ve been craving a good tornado movie. Not something dumb with sharks or whatever, but something that at least tries to be realistic and scary. That craving is so bad, I get legitimately excited whenTwisteris on TV. Well, thank the clouds, New Line’s upcoming tornado filmInto the Stormis almost here. Directed bySteven Quale(Avatar), it starsRichard Armitage(The Hobbit) andSarah Wayne Callies(The Walking Dead) in the story of what happens to a small town when one of the worst storms ever hits....

‘John Dies At The End’ Review: An Entertaining Yet Vapid Ride With Director Don Coscarelli John Dies at the End, which is directorDon Coscarelli’stake on the wacky, cult novel byDavid Wong, is incredibly entertaining for the sake of being entertaining. Featuring huge monsters, metaphysical conversations, pop culture-based humor, hilarious performances and big action scenes with flame throwers, explosions, and bullet time, you’d be hard pressed to be bored by the picture....

Even though some fans ofJurassic Parkwere disappointed to see that there were less practical dinosaur effects used for last summer’sJurassic World, that doesn’t mean thevisual effectsdon’t deserve some praise. And if you need convincing that some fantastic work was done in post-production on the movie, a visual effects breakdown shows just how much work went into bringing the operational theme park to life....

‘Kingsman: The Golden Circle’ Review: A Spirited Romp That’s Not Quite As Good As The First One Before going any further, let’s get this out of the way: I loved the firstKingsmanmovie. On a purely visual, gets-your-adrenaline-going level,Matthew Vaughnhas achieved the platonic ideal of the comic book movie. TheKingsmanmovies spectacles of bright colors, stylish costumes, outlandish violence, and a complete lack of attention to the laws of physics, all scored to pop songs that are immediately recognizable....

‘Melancholia’ UK Trailer: Life On Earth Doesn’t Last Long It’s been a big, loud year forLars von Trier, thanks in part to his new filmMelancholia, and more so to the Cannespress conference commentsthat saw the directorbanned from the festival. But getting beyond that controversy, there’s the fact thatMelancholiais one of the best-reviewed films of the director’s career, and remains one of my most-anticipated films of the fall. We’ve seenone trailerfor the film, in whichKirsten DunstandCharlotte Gainsbourgplay sisters with very different dispositions who are staring down the end of the world on the eve of Dunst’s character’s wedding....

‘Rogue One: A Star Wars Story’ Confirmed To Feature A Cameo From A Key Prequel Character Even thoughRogue One: A Star Wars Storywill focus on an entirely new crew of characters as they attempt to steal the plans to the first Death Star, there will still be some familiar characters that Star Wars fans will have no problem recognizing. We already know that Darth Vader ismaking a return in the spin-offthat takes place before the events ofStar Wars: A New Hope, and now we have confirmation of another character we’ve seen on the big screen before returning as well....

‘The Legend Of Conan’ Aims To Carry Forward The Tone Of The 1982 Original One of the big promises inArnold Schwarzenegger’s revived career as an actor has been the idea that he would reprise the role ofConan the Barbarian. It’s one of the gigs that cemented him as an action star, and the 1982 film co-written (with Oliver Stone) and directed byJohn Miliusis hailed as among the best adaptations of pulp novels ever committed to film....

‘Under The Shadow’ Is This Year’s ‘The Babadook’ [Sundance Review] Ever sinceThe Babadookpremiered at Sundance in 2014, it feels like every new critically beloved, out-of-nowhere horror hit has been touted as “the newBabadook.” Most of the time, the descriptor is just a catchy way of saying “this horror film’s got buzz.” Many of these “newBabadooks,” fromIt FollowstoThe Witch, aren’t all that much likeThe Babadookat all, and — in my estimation — none of them have been quite as good....

A Marvel-Like ‘Ghostbusters’ Universe Is In The Works, According To Dan Aykroyd Every few weeks there’s a new reasonGhostbusters 3hasn’t happened yet. Some are valid, others are not, but for the past 25 years there’s always something. First it was Bill Murray’s reluctance, then it was Chris Miller and Phil Lord passing on the project, of course the tragic death of Harold Ramis, Ivan Reitman’s departure, script problems, the list goes on and on....
