Now I’m not one to wish ill on others, but when greeted by the news last night that the English-language remake of The Raid may be falling apart, I couldn’t help but think “Good”. Gareth Evans’ 2011 martial arts magnus opus is one of the greatest and most brutal action movies of the modern era, and really, nobody needs to …

There is this book by author S. Bergstrom called The Cruelty. The story of said book is a somewhat familiar one, although not exactly. See if you recognize it: When her diplomat father is kidnapped and the U.S. Government refuses to help, 17-year-old Gwendolyn Bloom sets off across the underbelly of Europe to rescue him.

You know, “creepy” in a zombie male model at …

This is it, folks, the final act. After writing well over a hundred columns for this series, I need to take a break. Cinophile is not stopping, but it is going away for a sabbatical. Writing about movies is fun, but trying to deliver a cult pick every week gets tricky after a while. Last Updated: October 26, 2015

I am not really too keen on seeing Jumanji get a reboot and still think that the 1995 original would hold its own with the younger generation today. Well too bad for me because the guys at Deadline have announced that new talent has been added to the project, pushing ahead to meet its Christmas 2016 deadline. Scribe Scott Rosenberg …
