Just how scary is the 2018 thriller, A Quiet Place? Okay, perhaps you’ve seen a Cox commercial where a woman is watching Stranger Things and sitting on the edge of her couch looking seriously freaked out. That’s about what this jaded horror aficionado looked like all...

No in-between: you either love this movie, or you despise it. This post first ran in 2014. A while back I wondered why my favorite Godzilla flick—the 1998 version starring Matthew Broderick—never spawned a sequel. And for that matter, why did I even consider it a...

Memorable lines from our favorite movies are always a hoot. Here are a few more of mine, from a 2014 post. “Ah, dessert! Chilled monkey brains.” A dinner guest at one of the funniest and most disgusting meals you’ll ever witness grosses out Willie Scott (Kate Capshaw)...

I have to seriously plead “guilty” with this film! 😊 This post first ran in 2014. Not having felt “guilty” for a while, I dug way down into the well of duds for this 1998 action-horror flick. I mean, how could I not like a movie co-starring Famke Janssen (X-Men’s Jean...
