'Wolfman's Got Nards' (2018) Movie Review

As a horror-obsessed kid, I adored The Monster Squad. I was ten when it came out in 1987 and it falls into a category of movies like The Goonies and a handful of others that are about kids, and aimed at kids, but that don’t marginalize them, which was always an issue I had with this type of film growing up. Here, the young characters are smart, capable, and complicated; in legitimate peril; and don’t rely on the parents swooping in at the last minute to save the day—the kids are the heroes and have the heroic moments they earn. Among other things, this is what I loved about it. This is basically a long-winded way of saying Andre Gower’s documentary, Wolman’s Got Nards, is 100% made for me.

This Trailer For 'The Predator' Is Better Than The Others

As psyched as I am for a Shane Black-directed, Shane Black/Fred Dekker-written take on The Predator, thus far, the trailers haven’t exactly lit me on fire. That is, until now. This latest trailer is badass. It practically sweats Black’s trademark machismo and looks like exactly the movie I hope it is.

'The Predator' Trailer Poses A Threat

He didn’t write John McTiernan’s 1987 Predator, but Shane Black appeared in the film. In the years since, he’s become a celebrated writer and director in his own right. And now he’s back to try to breathe some new life into the franchise with The Predator. 20th Century Fox just released the first trailer for the sci-fi actioner. Check it out below.

'The Nice Guys' (2016) Movie Review

If you’re a fan of Shane Black’s movies, especially Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, Lethal Weapon, and The Last Boy Scout, his latest, The Nice Guys, is exactly the movie you hoped for. It never deviates from the formula, but it’s certainly Black doing what he does, as well as he’s ever done it. This is the kind mismatched buddy action comedy that, every time one does roll around, we collectively say, “Hollywood doesn’t make this kind of movie anymore.”

New 'The Predator' Poster Is One Ugly Mother...

I’m not the biggest fans of remakes and reboots and reimaginings in general, especially of movies I love, and John “Die Hard” McTiernan’s 1987 action classic Predator is a formative force in my life. But since another one is happening, the fact that it’s in the capable hands of Shane Black (Iron Man 3, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, and who actually appeared in Predator) and Fred Dekker (Monster Squad, Night of the Creeps), is about as comfortable as I’ll get. The long-in-the-works project just dropped a new poster and a bit of a name tweak.

Shane Black's 'Predator' Plans To Recreate The Franchise

I’m one of the few people who seems to enjoy Predators. Sure, it’s not Predator, nor is it even Predator 2, but it’s a damn sight better than either of the Alien vs. Predator movies we were subjected to. Last year we learned that Shane Black is writing and directing a new Predator movie, which is promising for a number of reasons, but the new film plans to reinvent and reinvigorate the franchise.
