With a super-fun and unique premise about cheating and outrunning death, theFinal Destinationseries finds itself being enjoyable with almost every single entry, thanks to the spectacle on display with each of the wild deaths that occur.

For quite some time, I’ve been relatively certain that all this talk ofJames Cameronmaking not one or two or three but fourAvatarsequels was complete and total hogwash. How could you do it? Cameron clearly has an ego, so I understand why he would talk about such lunacy, but there’s no way audiences are going to keep coming back for four more servings of blue, self-glorifying nonsense. It just can’t happen....

15 years ago today,X2(also known asX2: X-Men United) was released in theaters to widespread acclaim and massive box office. The moviegoing landscape in 2003 was far different than it is today, and the superhero genre was only just getting started. DirectorBryan Singer’sX-Menin 2000 andSam Raimi’sSpider-Manin 2002 took comic book adaptations to another level by combining grounded, emotionally engaging storytelling with blockbuster visuals. Both were huge successes at the time and wouldn’t be dwarfed by the ubiquity of the Marvel Cinematic Universe or critical accolades ofChristopher Nolan’s Dark Knight Trilogy for another few years....

In 2023,Eli Rothfinally released his highly-anticipated filmThanksgiving, much to the delight of horror fans.WhileThanksgivingis a gory affair, it’s also a simple and fun slasher. You walk away from it with a smile on your face. The same can’t be said for Roth’s earlier works.His first feature film, 2002’sCabin Fever, is well crafted, but it’s so dark and disturbing, with such realistic gore, that it leaves viewers shaken. Then came 2006’sHostel. Along withSawtwo years before,it helped birth the unfortunate-named “torture porn” trope....
