Every once in a while a film comes along like a jolt of energy into the genre it belongs to. 2022’s Barbarian is that film, one that has become a breath of fresh air into horror. The film, which is currently receiving rave reviews, stars Georgina Campbell, Bill Skarsgård, and Justin Long and is directed by the relatively unknown Zach Cregger. Cregger, who outside an obscure 2009 comedy Miss March and a few television episodes, has not directed a big studio film....
James Mangold is an award-winning director, screenwriter, and producer with decades of work under his belt. Best known for his directorial work, Mangold made his debut with the film Heavy, shortly followed by Cop Land, which gained him even more attention thanks to the film’s A-list cast. From action films like Logan to romantic-comedies like Kate & Leopold, it would seem no genre is above or below Mangold as he dabbles in all — and with a decent amount of success, too....

And with annoying characters, a nauseating amount of colors, and music that’ll surely linger in your head, it seems that adults, be it parents, older siblings, babysitters, etc....

Sitting down with one of the biggest action film stars of all time to talk about his new film and the possibility of a fourth Die Hard film Bruce Willis has my respect.

He dropped the hammer on anything and everything that was bothering him that day....

No family is perfect, and sometimes home is what you make it. Beneath the thin veneer of a harmonious family is often a healthy amount of dysfunction that plays out behind the scenes. In film, it’s no different. After all, nobody wants to stand around the water cooler at the office and brag about how they’ve been emotionally distant to their partner, or that their son was arrested at school for getting in a fight with the gym teacher....
