“These aren’t the Muppets,” director Brian Henson might remind us, but his smile and wink would hint at what he really thinks. The son of Muppets creator Jim Henson and the man who filled his dad’s shoes directing The Muppet Christmas C...

Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay exists because it was cheap to make and has a devoted core audience, not because its predecessor, Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle, was a blockbuster. The filmmakers, understanding what made the first...

Back in the early 2000s, Walt Disney Pictures, operating from the motive of strip-mining every conceivable asset in the quest for cash, decided to make movies based on its two most recognizable theme park rides: “The Pirates of the Caribbean” ...
