The pairing of Johnny Depp and Tim Burton has been one of the most talked-about actor/director collaborations of the last 25 years.

by Byron BixlerMany times have we seen the story of the old, curmudgeonly man forced by circumstance into close quarters with an eccentric kid, the pair not liking each other at first, but eventually forming a heartfelt bond.

The Guest

by Elizabeth EstenThrowbacks to 1980s cinema have become more popular recently, and whenever these films come out, they bring me such joy. Unfortunately, many flop at the box office and end up going unseen by the masses — even if they happen to pop up on Netflix later. In a deluge of poorly done remakes … Continue reading →

Swiss Army Man

by Brett RogalskyA few headlines were difficult to ignore following the Sundance Film Festival. One of these headlines was “Daniel Radcliffe’s Farting Corpse Movie Prompts Walk-Outs.” Fair enough. To get the obvious elephant in the room out of the way, yes, the corpse in the movie farts. A lot. It’s a recurring thematic element that’s … Continue reading →

5 Horror Films that Deserve a Remake

Posted on September 15, 2016 by filmicmag • Leave a comment

by Elizabeth Esten For many horror movie geeks, myself included, remakes of our favorite horror classics are either OK at best or insults to their source material. There’s a laundry list of completed remakes and remakes currently in development that have revisited some of horror’s greatest offerings.

RANT SPOT: Beverly Hills Cop III

Posted on September 8, 2016 by filmicmag • Leave a comment

by Byron BixlerMy relationship with the Beverly Hills Cop franchise goes like this: The first film is one of my favorite comedies. It was a total surprise — an instant favorite straight out of the gate. It was also the first movie that helped me discover my inexplicable love of ’80s Eddie Murphy films. The … Continue reading →

Don’t Breathe

Posted on September 6, 2016 by filmicmag • Leave a comment

by Justin MadoreThere’s a certain hesitation I have when I go to see horror and comedy movies, regardless of the praise they may or may not be receiving. People rarely agree on the merits of these genres, since what scares you or makes you laugh varies so much from person to person. Because of this, … Continue reading →
