While Michael Myers may get all the glory, we're taking a look at the man behind the legend - John Carpenter - and the illustrious career he had in the wake of his cultural milestone, Halloween. Carpenter's work behind the camera may only be overshadowed by his work in the recording studio, as he's produced some of the most iconic film scores of the past 50 years and provided multiple generations with the soundtrack to their nightmares. Here is every John Carpenter film ranke

It's hard to believe it's been over 30 years since a little black and white indie comedy from New Jersey tattooed the names Jay and Silent Bob onto the cultural zeitgeist forevermore. But with writer/director/podcaster Kevin Smith mythologizing his youth once again in his latest film, The 4:30 Movie, we thought we'd take this opportunity to see where it ranks amongst the rest of his catalog by ranking all of his movies from Best to Worst. Well, almost all of his movies. Haven

While Nicolas Cage has become something of a mythical living meme machine, it's easy to forget the dude has some legitimate gems under his belt buried in his ever growing filmography. These aren't the "so bad, they're good" list of the most unhinged Nicolas Cage experiences (although it's hard to post a list of Nic Cage films and not even mention Vampire's Kiss or Face-Off); but instead these are The Best Nic Cage Films of All Time. Seriously. Honorable Mention: Leaving Las V

If Hollywood were to build a Mount Rushmore commemorating the industry's most prolific filmmakers, right next to Steven Spielberg (or maybe even in front of him) would be the great Martin Scorsese. From his sweeping visionary steady-cam cinematography to his gritty introspective character studies and dissections of moral turpitude - Scorsese has developed one of the deepest and most varied catalogs of work over his storied 50+ year career. And while I truly think there's some

With Jordan Peele's take on Candyman finally hitting the big screen and reboots, re-quels, re-imaginings and remakes no longer considered a hate crime against the horror genre - here are our nominees for the Top 10 films that could benefit from a modern day update. #10. Phantasm directed by Gareth Evans starring Logan Marshall-Green as Jody Thomas Jane as Reggie Noah Schnapp as Mike Doug Jones as The Tall Man Don Coscarelli's 1979 cult classic has all the makings of a horror

Our top tier is a little smaller than normal and this is exactly why we don't stick to a top 10 list. Some years, there just really aren't 10 great films released. Last year we extended it to 12. But 2020 wreaked havoc on Hollywood, shuffling releases all over the calendar and limiting the vast majority of their output to at home releases. Which meant very little tent pole blockbusters and a scattered roll out of award contenders that felt very much like studios were holding

The 2nd tier in our Year in Tiers recap consists of the runners up. Quality films that just don't quite get the same shine the marquee stars do. Sidekicks. Like good ol' Scottie Pippen. He's a phenomenal #2 (maybe the best ever) but he's just not a #1. Plain and simple. #23. The Devil All The Time A dark look at the gritty underbelly of the old South with an absolutely stacked ensemble cast, The Devil All The Time is a fairly captivating crime drama that can't quite tie toget

The middle tier of our yearly recap finds the middle of the road, serviceable yet flavorless efforts that are good enough but not all that remarkable. Like a tall glass of tap water. It'll clench your thirst but it's hardly anyone's first drink of choice. #46. Color Out of Space Yet another glowing love letter to the b-horror 1980's, Color Out of Space does very little to differentiate itself from the ever growing sub-genre of nostalgia horror. But aside from the synth heavy

Tier 4 finds the decidedly bad but not unwatchable movies of the year. And since 2020 had us all locked inside with very little to do, it's more than likely we found ourselves lowering our standards for some cheap entertainment. Which is probably why this is 2020's largest tier. We were all like a kid staying home sick from school, channel surfing day time television for the least worst options. And nothing says least worst daytime television like Maury. #74. Bloodshot I'm ho

It's a couple of months later than usual so that we could include all of the 2020 Oscar eligible films released, but here we are with the first installment of our Year in Tiers recap of the Best and Worst films 2020 had to offer. As always, I'll preface this with the note that obviously there are some dogshit terrible films out there that didn't make this list but these are the worst films we actually took the time to finish and intrigued us enough to seek them out in the fir
