Fright Night Poster Fright Night

Tom Holland's 1985 Fright Night was as much a love letter to horror fans weaned on Creature Double Feature as a legitimate genre entry - an imperfect yet entertaining vampire yarn that combined shocks, gore, camp, and humor into a whole. Some 26 ye...

How to Train Your Dragon 2 Poster How to Train Your Dragon 2

It's an axiom of the filmmaking industry that any time an animated movie shows a profit, it instantly becomes the foundation for a franchise. Unfortunately, when money drives creative decisions, it's like the cart pulling the horse. Take away the f...
