Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile Wastes Interesting Casting On A Lackluster Script

Nobody would have ever suspected Ted Bundy (Zac Efron) of being anything but just a handsome fella with a Volkswagon bug. Why would they? On the outside, he seems like a perfectly pleasant person who leads a serene life with girlfriend Liz Kendall (Lily Collins) and her daughter Molly. But then everything changes once Ted is arrested on charges of kidnapping and murder. Ted maintains his innocence in the face of so many accusations and tries his mightiest to evade police custody in escape attempts that eventually lead him to be arrested on further charges of grisly murders. On the surface, Bundy would never have been anyone's idea of a serial killer but it turns out he's been committing crimes fitting of the title of Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile.

Whether You Know Its Twist Ending Or Not, The Sixth Sense Is Top-Caliber Shyamalan Filmmaking

When I wrote up on Beetlejuice earlier this year, I noted what an experience it must have been for audiences encountering that feature in its initial theatrical release to discover the extremely idiosyncratic tendencies of Mr. Tim Burton. I'd imagine there was a similar revelatory feelings for moviegoers who saw The Sixth Sense in August 1999. Though M. Night Shyamalan apparently did two movies before this one, neither of which I'd ever heard of before penning this review (the poster for 1998 Rosie O'Donnell movie Wide Awake looks so much like the quintessential 90's family movie poster, it hurts), The Sixth Sense is very much the kind of movie Shyamalan would be associated with for his entire career, a creepy thriller heavily reliant on grounded human relationships and a big twist that knocks audiences off their feet.

The Future Is Melancholy, Heartfelt And Incredibly Thoughtful In The Science-Fiction Masterpiece A.I.: Artificial Intelligence

"And I want a moment to be real
Want to touch things I don't feel
Wanna hold on
And feel I belong
And how can they say I never change
They're the ones that stay the same
I'm the one now
Cause I'm Still Here" 
- John Rzeznik, I'm Still Here

The filmography of Steven Spielberg is so stuffed to the brim with excellence that you're bound to get a wide variety of answers regarding which movie is his best. Some will choose one of his numerous high-quality blockbusters, another will choose one of his intimate dramas, there's oodles of strong cinema to choose from. One that had always struck me as garnering a more mixed reception as a kid was A.I.: Artificial Intelligence, a 2001 science-fiction drama that had terrible box office legs in its initial theatrical release and one that I always saw getting mocked for being overly cloying or its ending not working or any number of similar complaints. Over the years though, it seems to have become more and beloved, with the.....unique, let's say, critical personality Armond White being one of the film's most ardent supporters.

Tusk Review

I Am The Walrus Goo-Goo-Ka-AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!

Horror movies are in a rut. Scratch that, they've been in a rut for ages. For a time, the success of Saw led to most of the genre being inhabited by film solely focused on torture porn. Then Paranormal Activity became a phenomenon and everything had to be found-footage. The influence of The Conjuring is already being felt, with a large amount of features being centered around on spooky homes, families, strange noises and jump scares.
