Back with more films from 2018 new and old counting down to the end of the year and those highly anticipated Top Ten lists.

Way back when, which “when” is October the ninth of 2018, Scream Factory unleashed the 1999 remake of William Castle’s House On Haunted Hill. The original was a Vincent Price classic, and in a time when remakes weren’t really a thing yet, this got a 1990s Scream-era makeover. And oddly, its been one of them […]
While there’s no current tie in (Gifted Season 2, maybe?), Fox is on the right track in releasing more X-Men films to the 4K Ultra-HD Blu-ray format. It dropped the 3 First Class film right away on the format as well as the Deadpool movies and Logan. Now comes the original trilogy of films that […]
One night in the house, one million bucks, no questions asked. But there is a catch for anyone who accepts the offer. Murder is a way of life at the House on Haunted Hill, a jolting, effects-ramped remake of William Castle’s 1959 cult classic. Produced by Robert Zemeckis (Contact, Beowulf), Joel Silver (Suburbicon, Predator), and Gilbert Adler […]
Here we are again for a third go around, but this time out the hunter becomes the hunted when Liam Neeson returns as former CIA operative Bryan Mills, who this time finds himself framed for the brutal murder of his ex-wife (Famke Janssen) in TAK3N or a.k.a. Taken 3. Consumed with rage, and pursued by a […]
My favorite scene in A Walk Among the Tombstones, the previous Liam Neeson thriller that found the 62-year-old actor facing up against a number of deadly foes, involved Neeson’s character talking a knife-wielding man out of fighting, because they both knew how it would end. It showed how much of an intimidating force Neeson can […]
Its no wonder that after the back to back experiences of Nightbreed and Lord Of Illusions, that horror maestro Clive Barker hasn’t take the director’s chair since. It wasn’t as much an extreme case with Lord Of Illusions, but once again the studio did not seem to understand Barker’s vision for the film. And during […]
I feel like this film and I have a lot in connection whereas this flick had setback after setback getting made, I had nothing but difficulties trying to see this one theatrically. Fellow WSB reviewer Aaron Neuwirth can attest to the fact that I did get to catch the first twenty minutes of the feature […]
You have got to hand it to Hugh Jackman. He began his American film career by starring as Wolverine in Bryan Singer’s X-Men back in 2000 and he has remained loyal to the franchise. Despite proving his versatility as an actor, including his garnering of an Oscar nomination this past year for Les Miserables, Jackman […]

Honestly, I’m not sure what to expect with Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters. And to be completely honest, I’m only wanting to see it for one exclusive reason…the beautiful Tamara Drewe…oops I mean Gemma Arterton is in it. Basically…you put her in anything and I will want to watch it. Even Evil Dead! Heck…even Famke […]
A co-worker first told me about this film some months back, of which I thought he was joking. When he persisted that there really was a Hansel & Gretel movie coming out, I made a mad dash to my phone and checked out the trailer. My initial thought was, “What’s this? The latest trend on […]
Wow, looks like it’s time to party like it’s 1999, I mean 1998, up in here! Time really flies when you’re having fun. It seems like yesterday when I was watching these two up-and-comers tackle the screen with an industry veteran. The newbies were Matt Damon and some kid named Edward Norton. The veteran was […]
