Remember that first Venom trailer? The one without Venom in it, that looked awful? I sure do. I've been a fan of Spider-Man and his cavalcade of villains for a long time, but I was in no way excited by Sony's first showing of its attempt...

When the Nova Corps popped up in Guardians of the Galaxy I think everyone had the same thought: "What the hell is the Nova Corps?" But if you're a bit more knowledgeable about Marvel comics than the general public you may have asked: "...

Usually the week before the summer season officially kicks off, which is now basically whatever week that summer's Marvel film lands, is DOA. No one even wants to touch it with big releases and audiences are saving their money for the big b...

It's been 16 years since Broken Lizard exploded onto the scene with their stoner-comedy Super Troopers. Ever since then, they have had ups and downs in terms of their movies but for the most part, their comedy has always tickled me in just ...

Despite the last Doom movie (2005) going over like a lead balloon, Hollywood is supposedly trying again. If at first you don't succeed, and all that. Danish actress/musician/model Nina Bergman recently tweeted that she has signed on to act ...

Denzel Washington has basically always been better than everyone else in his movies. He’s smarter (Crimson Tide), faster (The Book of Eli), deadlier (Man on Fire), handsomer (all of them), and wittier (Training Day). Even when he&rsq...

We're getting closer, everyone. Rampage threatened to be mildly entertaining, and that means we're just a few steps away from an actually good video game movie. It's gonna happen, and maybe it'll be The Division that does it? With...

The 2018 Tribeca Film Festival is currently underway in New York City, running through April 29th. The 17th year of the festival will showcase 93 feature films from more than 103 filmmakers, as well as TV premieres, shorts, virtual rea...

I was so hyped for this. The trailer looked fantastic, and I'm a sucker for anthology horror. Even if the quality of the shorts was uneven, I enjoyed the original V/H/S's use of a frame story. This movie’s frame story sounded eve...

Hey, compañeros, and welcome back to The 300, a recurring feature on my imprudent attempt to watch 300 movies in theaters in the year 2018. I’ll be watching new releases, classics, hidden gems, and festival films to experience ...

I wasn't a huge fan of Jurassic World when it first came out, but I can tell you that I liked the fact that it ended with a t-rex, a raptor, and a genetically modified dino fighting it out in an obvious homage to early Hollywood monster mo...

The summer blockbuster season is nigh, and as always that means Flixist is delighted to bring unto you our summer movie preview. This isn't a comprehensive list of every film coming out, it's just a list of movies we wanted to write about f...

If you were some sort of charlatan psychic who predicted box office returns each weekend you would have gotten this weekend very wrong. Looking at the competition between Rampage, a Dwayne Johnson led disaster movie with giants monsters, an...

I'm not sure if it was hubris or clarity that led Jason Blum, CEO of Blumhouse, to plaster the studio name before its new movie Blumhouse's Truth or Dare. There have been a plethora of other horror films within the past five years(!) with t...

At this point, the saga between Netflix and the Cannes Film Festival feels like a relationship gone sour. The honeymoon phase has passed, and while the latter wants things to stay the same, the former wants to try something new and exciting...

When you're a child of four, you do everything with your brothers and sisters. You play together, you eat together, you even get haircuts together. And, if one of you is due for a dentist appointment, all of you are. There needs to be an or...

Why hello there, chum, and welcome back to The 300, a recurring feature on my stupid attempt to watch 300 movies in theaters in the year 2018. I’ll be watching new releases, classics, hidden gems, and festival films to experience the ...

Studios are learning a pretty good lesson recently: if you make good horror movies people will show up. The obvious proof of this is IT, but backing that thesis up is this weekend's $50 million for the stellar A Quiet Place. That's the best...

Of all the Star Wars movies ever (even the prequels), I think my excitement level has been least for Solo: A Star Wars Story. Amid the directing controversy, acting controversy, and general question of why it is even a thing, it's been cha...

This is a hard movie to review. It isn’t ‘good’, but I loved it. If you’re a fan of The Room, it retains that film’s oddball charm without it feeling forced. It barely makes sense and its slow pacing makes me w...

The Purge series is, for me, one that gets continually better. The first squandered the premise as a by-the-numbers home invasion film. The second took the series to the streets and opened it wide up for future installments. And the thi...

For the entire night after I saw A Quiet Place I thought every sound was too loud. I put something down and the noise it made stood out to me. Each footstep seemed to fall heavier than it should have. Opening a door was a creaking...

Listen up children, because the ladies are trying to steal your toys again. They're always forcing their way into our treehouse, despite clear signage that girls are not allowed. Before we know it, these cootie-infested invaders will steal ...

Prom! That magical experience of near mythical importance for high school students. You'll dance. You'll drink. And then you'll definitely lose your virginity, because only losers haven't after prom has come and gone. The tradition, started...

Greetings, earthlings, welcome back to The 300, a recurring feature on my absurd attempt to watch 300 movies in theaters in the year 2018. I’ll be watching blockbusters, oldies, hidden gems, and festival films to experience the wide w...
