The has been lots of talk over the last couple of years regarding doing a proper Indiana Jones sequel/reboot. I say proper because 2008’s Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull just never lived up to all of the hyped up nostalgia… for me anyways. Debates have been continuing about who the guy is that should take over …
This week, we get an early start on Halloween with Not Another Paranormal Activity Movie, Bradley Cooper’s career takes a bit of a scary nosedive, old Disney classics come back to haunt us, and two local movies have nothing to do with Halloween but they still look pretty good.

Another year, another opportunity for Jennifer Lawrence and David O. Russell to make a new addition to their burgeoning Oscar statue trophy case. The actress and filmmaker have teamed up twice before on Silver Linings Playbook and American Hustle, with both times resulting in awards gold.

And for his next movie, it looks like he’s going back to his fake-culinary roots. Burnt sees Cooper as a former bad boy rockstar chef – because yes, we live in a …
Writer/director David O. Russell, Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper have teamed up twice now already for American Hustle and Silver Linings Playbook, and both times resulted in some serious silverware for all parties involved. So while I’m not much of a betting man, I’d bet dollars to donuts that they should probably start making some new space on their awards …
Okay, Universe! I get it! I really need to watch 2006 cult classic comedy Wet Hot American Summer! I mean the brilliantly goofy and retro teaser trailer for Netflix’s planned TV series prequel Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp already had me convinced that I had missed out on a wacky gem, and that preview barely even showed …
