I’ve always found the result rather boring because of the canned answers, which were never really too funny. /Film reader and E Online correspondent Craig Macrae sent me an email, forwarding me to his interview with Rhino the hamster from Disney’s computer animated film Bolt....

See David Arquette’s The Tripper This Friday We haven’t seen it, so we can’t recommend it. But it looks interesting. David Arquette’s psychedelic B-horror movieThe Tripper, which involves a fanatical killer wearing a Ronald Reagan mask, hits theaters this Friday (4/20, coincidence? We think not). David is doing a small grassroots distribution of only 50 screens, so it’s probably not playing at your local theater. So where can you catchThe Tripper?...

The Afterparty Will Be Back For A Second Season With Tiffany Haddish Returning As Detective Danner “The Afterparty” is fun as hell. Let’s get that out of the way right up front. This is Phil Lord and Christopher Miller (henceforth referred to by their mammoth brand of “Lord & Miller”) gathering top-notch writers and an absolutely stellar comedy cast to tackle the evergreen whodunnit subgenre.

The Johnny Depp Horror Film That Deserves More Attention Traditional, long-runningsoap operasonce ruled daytime TV with an iron fist. Since many soaps ran for multiple decades, multiple generations of kids had the gleeful experience of watching contraband adult dramas on the days they were home sick from school, and then, when they grew up, catching up with those same dramas unfettered when they worked at home. In 2022, only four major soaps remain: “The Bold and the Beautiful,” “Days of Our Lives,” “The Young and the Restless,” and “General Hospital....

The Last House On The Left Controversy Explained Wes Craven is an undeniable master of horror, having terrified the world with his creation, “A Nightmare on Elm Street,” only to completely subvert the slasher genre he helped perfect and kickstart a new generation’s love of horror with “Scream.” With no exaggeration, horror today would not exist as it does today if it weren’t for the brilliance of Wes Craven.
