By Garrison Thomas Well, it seems Universal Studios has finally seen the light and decided to cede creative control of their Monsters franchises to the hottest (and most profitable based on ROI) horror production company in the industry: Blumhouse Productions.

AND MORE!! By: Alex Thomas The best moments in a film are emotionally satisfying to the viewer because they are earned. These moments provide a logical payoff to something that was set up earlier in the film or in a previous film. When plot points are consistently and gratifyingly paid off, the film gains a rhythm and harmony that enhances the viewing experience and probably its rewatchability factor. SPOILERS for Prometheus, Avengers: Age of Ultron, and The Matrix below. By: Alex Thomas It’s not just about the U.S. anymore when it comes to filmmaking. This is a global business and the studio executives care about the cash, no matter where it comes from. By: Alex Thomas A considerable amount of my friends and family have talked about how this past summer movie season stunk. While I would disagree with that assessment, I do understand what they are referring to: The Summer Blockbusters. During the summer, most moviegoers will see the big tentpole films. Unfortunately, a lot of the franchise films this summer did disappoint. By: Alex Thomas When the Logan trailer debuted, I was floored. Set to the tune of Johnny Cash’s cover of “Hurt”, James Mangold, Hugh Jackman, and Co. delivered a beautiful, visceral, and spare trailer. Logan looks like it is finally going to give us a true Wolverine Western which is rather exciting. So why am I worried about Hugh Jackman’s last outing as the Canadian mutant? By: Alex Thomas Along with big budget comic book/superhero movies, there is another major trend in Hollywood today: low budget horror/thriller films. Do they make as much money as superhero movies? No. Are they as successful as superhero movies? In a way, yes. If you’re calculating profitability by return on investment (ROI), these horror/thriller films trounce the superhero flicks. |
