THE SANTA CLAUSE (1994) 12.12.2023

Send us Fan Mail Frank and Diego begrudgingly admit that Tim Allen is a skilled comic performer, but is the Tim Allen of yuletide staple The Santa Clause closer to the Tim Allen of Toy Story  and Galaxy Quest or to the Tim Allen of  Last Man Standing ,  Jungle 2 Jungle , Joe Somebody , Wild Hogs , Big Trouble, and Christmas With the Kranks ?

CHILD’S PLAY (1988) 10.10.2023

Send us Fan Mail "A serial killer uses voodoo to transfer his soul into a doll." Is this barely enough  premise  to support a  90 minute horror film? Or would it be better suited to a 90 minute horror film, six sequels, a reboot and television series?

Send us Fan Mail While a film adaptation of a literary work need not religiously adhere to its source material to be a good movie, might the creators of a film, ostensibly, for kids want to maintain some to the elements of the book that appeal to kids? Like talking animals, for example?

THE LAST STARFIGHTER (1984) 12.09.2023

Send us Fan Mail There can be no doubt that 1984's The Last Starfighter was hugely influenced by the original Star Wars trilogy, which had, triumphantly, wrapped up with Return of the Jedi the year before its release. But is The Last Fighter a playful, zeitgeist-capturing homage to George Lucas's seminal space opera, or is it just a cheap knockoff? SPOILER ALERT: it is the latter. Given...
