The 2009 version of Fame, which represents the feature debut of director Kevin Tancharoen (who has a few TV credits to his name, including the series "Dancelife," and was involved in a Britney Spears tour), uses the 1980 movie of the same name as i...

A loving ode to the Fantastic Four comic books of the 1960s and 1970s, Fantastic Four: First Steps is unlike any other MCU movie in two regards. First, its faithfulness to its source material can be found as much in its tone and style as in i...

Optimism springs eternal. I went to the third Fast and the Furious movie with the deeply held conviction that it had to be better than 2 Fast 2 Furious (or whatever that misbegotten turd of a second movie was called). I was right, but "better" do...
