Companion There’s only one group of movie fans more annoying than musical fans and that’s horror fans. They’re almost exclusively the same people who are overly obsessed with Halloween. A sad lot, really, because you’re basically reducing a movie to jump...

Amadeus: Theatrical Cut Remember that movie Last Action Hero? If you don’t know what I’m talking about, you should check it out. It’s a smart action movie parodying the big action/comedy movies of the 80s and 90s. Some say Last Action Hero also killed that genre...
