Heath Andrews — Fri, 14 Aug 2026 03:11:44 +0000

“I never thought that I would see, a Netflix release, theatrically. But suddenly I begin to see, a chocolate factory.” Those aren’t actually the words to “I’ve Got a Golden Ticket,” but it’s a decent enough rewrite for these purposes. The world of Willy Wonka is one of arguably unnecessary remakes. The original musical from [...]

The treatment of marine life at water parks became a serious hotbed issue with the 2013 documentary, Blackfish. Mind you, the subject was a big deal even before this film.

Say what you will about Mel Gibson, but he has been in some amazing movies. Yes, the guy is uh, let’s say, “troubled.” Despite this, he has a pretty fantastic film resume with the Lethal Weapon series being a big staple of them. Across four films he plated Martin Riggs alongside Danny Glover‘s Roger Murtagh. [...]

We live in a strange and worrying time. Thanks to the culture of the internet, certain voices can get amplified with ease. Some of the more troubling perspectives are those of the male “incel” community. While the term stands for involuntarily celibate, its taken on a much more toxic definition.

The studio feeding frenzy for established internet IPs is going full force. It’s confirmed that filmmaker Savanah Moss and the studio Tongal are developing a movie based on Jeff the Killer.

Jim Carrey has had a strange career over the last ten years. Despite having a tremendous run of films through the mid 90s to the mid 2000’s, he hasn’t capitalized on that fame in recent years. Believe it or not, the only films Carrey has done across the last decade have been the Sonic the [...]

Heath Andrews — Sat, 08 Aug 2026 16:20:55 +0000

There are so many obvious jokes that someone could make about the Jurassic Park franchise being dated. It’s like a dried-up fossil! They brought it back to life just like the dinosaurs in the movies! Or perhaps most fittingly, “your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could that they didn’t stop to [...]
