I was just four years old when the original Twister came out, and yet I can remember the buzz around the disaster film like it was yesterday. Written by Michael Crichton, author of Jurassic Park, and Anne-Marie Martin, the Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton-led film was the second highest-grossing film in 1996 and received Academy Award nominations for Best Visual Effects
Read MoreTwisters is not the typical sequel or legacy sequel. Since 2015, every studio has tried to capture the same nostalgic feeling of Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

Twisters, for the most
Read MoreAliens and otherworldly beings are a cinematic staple. They perfectly lend themselves to the screen, with endless possibilities for their design and motivations. The question about whether or not we are alone in the universe is one that draws both contemplation and fear. If aliens are in fact real, what would their interaction with humans be like?

Unfortunately, audiences won’t get a chance to reunite with Eddie Murphy‘s Axel Foley on the big screen, as Netflix would instead prefer to bring this $150 million megablockbuster straight into our living rooms. Of course, they were the
Read MoreMany of us have had childhood dreams that we took a wrong turn away from somewhere along the way. But what if we were given a second chance to fulfill those dreams? You’d be hard-pressed not to give it a shot, right? Prime Video’s new comedy, Space Cadet, is about just that, as a girl who, along with her mom, dreamt
Read MoreIn March 2022, director Ti West and star Mia Goth unveiled their new slasher film, X, with a little twist after the credits: they had already filmed a prequel entitled Pearl. Releasing in September of the same year, Pearl arguably was even more of a cultural success than the first film. The memes of Goth screaming “I’m a starrrr!” speak for the impact in the horror community. After the
