Curt's quick thoughts on 'Poltergeist'
In the past, I never thought “Poltergeist” needed a remake. The 1982 film seemed sufficient to me, and I think it may just be the best PG horror film ever made. But when they announced Sam Rockwell was part of this new version, my curiosity was peaked. I...
Thoughts on the first ‘Jem and The Holograms’ trailer
Last week the “Jem and the Holograms” trailer hit the web. The 2015 update of the cartoon that aired from 1985-1988 stars Aubrey Peeples as Jem/Jerrica, Stefanie Scott as Kimber, Hayley Kiyoko as Aja, and Aurora Perrineau as Shana. Now, because I’m a child of the 80’s...
“Mad Max: Fury Road” is crazy, but in an entertaining way.
I'll admit I wasn't terribly interested in a new Mad Max movie when it was announced a few years ago. I wasn't a big fan of the original movies and Director George Miller's latest films have all been family films like “Babe: Pig in the City.” But when I saw the...
Simon Pegg's up for 'Absolutely Anything'
In the international trailer for “Absolutely Anything” Simon Pegg is bestowed the power to do, well, absolutely anything by a group of aliens (voiced by the Monty Python guys). If he uses his new ability for good, then great, but if used for selfish or bad reasons,...

I grew up in California. I woke up screaming during the ’94 Northridge quake, and I’ve been kind of blasé about earthquakes ever since. Having lived most of my life in a place where the “big” natural disaster cannot be predicted, only prepared for, you kind of learn...
Tom Hardy and Tom Hardy are the stuff of 'Legend'
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bzkTbO78L5k The first trailer for "Legend" has released, and no I'm not talking about that freaking awesome 80's Ridley Scott movie starring Tom Cruise and Ferris Bueller's girlfriend. "Legend" stars Tom Hardy and Tom Hardy as real-life...
Curtis thinks 'Age of Ultron' is as good as the first! Then again, he hated that one too
I remember going to see “The Avengers” a few years back with a group of good friends. While walking out of the theater I was getting ready to bash the movie with them when, to my astonishment, I found out they'd totally loved it. Still to this day they think I’m...

Pixar superstars Pete Docter and Jonas Rivera were in town this week, promoting their beautifully experimental, heartwarming, family adventure "Inside Out" -- which we're not allowed to say anything about until June...but no really, mark it on your calendars and plan...
New 'Jurassic World' trailer is dino-reffic
