“Franchise.” That’s the magic word that causes all Hollywood execs to start comically drooling like Homer Simpson looking at a pink frosted donut. I imagine that anyone green-lighting movies is hoping to strike gold on…

I’m always up for action movie schlock. There’s simply just not enough of it these days. I’m also not talking about the PG-13 crap where there’s hardly any blood and nobody says any naughty words. I’m talking about…

Poor Colin Trevorrow. You really have to feel sorry for the guy. No matter what he does in future, he’ll always be remembered as either one of two things; The filmmaker that got famously fired…

Although I praised 2018 for its wonderful additions to cinema, there’s always a few turds that come out over the year. Whether the problem is studios getting far too involved, studios not getting involved enough, a…

A Christmas Prince was a hot favorite from Netflix last year, not because it was a good movie, but mainly for the cheesy feel-good type of way it conducted itself. I was very much on…

Not every movie is a blockbuster or an Academy favorite. Relaxer is one of those films that do not fit either of those categories. With this said, it fits all the parameters of a cult classic…for others.…

As part of October, the scariest movie month of the year, MovieBabble looked back at one of the most prominent horror franchises out there: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre franchise. Lucky for you, we’re continuing the conversation…

It’s hard to believe that Quantum of Solace is already ten years old. Looking back, did it add much to the James Bond franchise, or was it a low point in the series? Bond films…

I was pleasantly surprised when I sat down to write this article that there wasn’t a larger pool of bad October movies from which to choose. Let’s all take a moment and thank the powers…

London Fields is based on the 1989 novel by Martin Amis and — after being shot in 2014 — has spent the past five years trying to get into theaters. With drama in front of…

Spoiler alert: Wish Upon sucks. Well, realistically, that’s not a spoiler because everyone knows that it’s true. The high-concept horror flick from 2017 crashed and burn in amazing fashion, becoming a fan favorite as a comedy rather than a…

A lot of things can go wrong on a movie set. An actor can go rogue, a script’s deficiencies can become magnified, a director can lose his or her mind…you get the picture. The truth is that no…

Raise your hand if this was you in August: you sat down in your seat at your local theater, ready to be entertained by the new release that week. Cut to about an hour and…

Peter Berg and Mark Wahlberg are no strangers to each other. After four collaborations in just five years, they’re basically besties in the movie world. But while their first three films together — Lone Survivor, Deepwater…

Well, this article is probably long overdue. That’s what happens when life gets in the way — it has a funny way of doing that often, doesn’t it? But one thing is still very clear…

Remember the 2000’s? It was a time where comedies did pretty much whatever they wanted to do, pushing the line a little too far in every direction. But, like most things, taste changed, and the…

It’s hard to believe that the first movie in The Twilight Saga came out just over a decade ago, yet here we are. 2008 was a different era for me — I was a 20-something in college…

Sometimes a movie catches you at exactly the right moment; a sweet spot of time, place, and circumstance where you’ll buy whatever that movie is selling. I watched Cocktail when I was a teenager at a…

There are only two good Jurassic Park/Jurassic World movies. There, I said it. “Hold on to your butts” people, this article is about to get controversial. The first of these two good movies is the…

It’s understandable to make a bad movie.  It happens.  There’s so many moving parts that go into even the smallest production, whether it’s the direction, screenwriting, acting…all the way down to the assistant that brings…

Well, these movies hurt me.  As a critic, there’s only so much I can do to brace myself for terrible films.  For most of the films featured on the list of the worst movies of…

So, before we dive straight into this comprised catalogue of movie gripes, let’s just clarify something: this list is an irreverent inspection that includes examples from movies that are not necessarily bad nor good. Over…

One overlooked element of the requirements of a film critic is go into every film with a level head.  Bias will always creep into a review in one way or another, but remaining as impartial…

Some movies receive tons of press and hype before their premiere and ultimately live up to their lofty expectations. However, some, like the following movies, really flop at the box office and with fans despite…

Now that Blumhouse routinely pumps out low-budget films that score big at the box office, they have the gall to stick their name in front of a movie as part of the official title.  So,…

Like any other month, anyone that saw enough films in March was bound to run into some rather unpleasant theater experiences.  From big-budget films that didn’t hit the mark to meme-worthy animated features, there was…
