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

More often than not, comedy sequels tend to fall short of recapturing what made the originals so great. So with this week's release of Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice; we've gathered a list of the 10 Best Comedy Sequels of All Time (even though there's really not a whole lot to choose from). #10. Wayne's World 2 The pacing's a bit sloppy but overall, Wayne's quest to build his own music festival in Waynestock and the new batch of pop culture references we hit along the way make this

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

#11. Tenet In a film that's sole purpose seems to be mind fucking it's audience, Tenet feels as if Nolan is actually the one who's in over his head most. The confounding narrative structure paired with an overly dramatic synth score and over the top performance from Kenneth Branagh feel like a desperate attempt in overcompensating for the film's lack of excitement and surprisingly flat action sequences. Instead, you're left with a loud, jumbled mess which even when pieced tog

#9. Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation With the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre's co-writer, Kim Henkel, returning to direct this reboot (remake? sequel? I don't think it knows what it is...) you'd think there would be a little more thought put into the proceedings. But nope. It's obnoxiously loud and overacted, foolishly relegating Leatherface to serving as a cross-dressing henchman while Matthew McConaughey and Tonie Perensky take on the primary villain roles. An

#9. A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010) I'm so eternally grateful that horror has been able to crawl out from under the daunting black cloud of Michael Bay's Platinum Dunes production company. They were absolutely hell bent on hollowing out every horror property imaginable into a soul-less imitation of it's former self in the 2000's and even though Jackie Earle Haley does his best to try and overcome the atrocious re-design of Freddy Krueger in this mind-numbingly dull remake, t

With creator Don Mancini taking back the creative soul of his murderous killer doll in the form of a hit SYFY series, aptly titled Chucky, we've decided to look back and rank every film in the Child's Play franchise. #8. Seed of Chucky After writing every entry in the series, Don Mancini finally steps in as the director for the fifth entry in the series and while it's kind of endearing to see Chucky's creator seemingly single handedly keep the series alive - this movie is a f

#13. Halloween Resurrection As weird as it is, this was actually the first Halloween movie I ever saw and honestly, I thought killing off Laurie Strode in the opening 15 minutes was pretty badass. It showed that absolutely no one was safe and that Michael was bigger than just his weird sibling rivalry. But looking back at it, the movie's an absolute train wreck in every other aspect and feels as dated as anything you could possibly drudge up from the early 2000's (including S

With Matt Reeve's The Batman introducing us to his take on some familiar faces in the Batman Universe, we thought we'd see where they stack up against the Best Batman Movie Villains of All Time: #20. Colin Farrell as The Penguin (The Batman) Colin Farrell's a phenomenal actor. But I couldn't help but think, "why not just cast a fat ugly guy in this role instead of caking a hunk in prosthetics?" This is America, surely there's no shortage of overweight ugly people out there, r

While he may not be a household name like many of his early VHS generation contemporaries, Paul Thomas Anderson is still one of the greatest filmmakers alive today. And even though he didn't get his long overdue Academy acknowledgement last night (fuckin CODA), we decided we'd still like to honor the phenomenal visionary the best way we know how - by assigned arbitrary rankings to incredible works of art in a sad attempt to spark conversation around actual films instead of th

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

Since the success of AMC's The Walking Dead, zombies have had a huge resurgence within the horror genre over the past decade so we've decided to take a look back at the Best Zombie Movies of All Time: #10. Zombieland There's always been something kind of funny about the living dead, once you get passed the whole undying hunger for human flesh thing. Ruben Fleischer takes you on a road trip across a post-apocalyptic zombie outbreak with an incredible ensemble cast featuring Wo

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

Plenty of TV Shows trot out an obligatory holiday special now and again but no one has flourished in the seasonal tradition like the...
