2015 Oscars: Can't Get it Wrong With Music!
by Melissa Uhrin
In yet another award show filled with uncomfortable jokes delivered in uncomfortable style, endless snubs of award-worthy films, and an overall production that many news sources are dubbing the most boring Academy Awards yet, I thought I should focus on what tends to never steer me wrong: the music. Follow me, if you will, on a trip down musical lane.
Riske Business: Stars I Thought Would be Huge but Weren't
by Adam Riske
Ever see someone in a movie and thought “Whoa, who is that? They’re going places” and then turned out to be completely wrong? Sure, maybe they worked for a while but they never popped and went off to become a “big star.” Here are five stars I guessed wrong on.

9 Aerosol Can Flamethrowers
by Doug Schultz
Patricia Arquette deservedly won an Oscar this past weekend for Boyhood, which reminded me of her even better performance in True Romance (featured during this year's #FThisMovieFest), a film in which she fends off Virgil (James Gandolfini) using a can of hairspray as a makeshift flamethrower. Here are some others examples of movies that include this improvised weapon.

Off the Shelf: Dangerously Close
by Patrick Bromley
My love of genre director Albert Pyun is well-documented on this site, so it brings me great joy to finally see what turns out to be an underrated '80s classic long unavailable in wide release.

12 Movie Titles That Are Acronyms
by Doug Schultz
With The DUFF (2015) -- which stands for "Designated Ugly Fat Friend" (HAHAHAHAHA!) -- being released in theaters on Friday, I figured I'd explore some other acronym movies (of which there are MANY).

All About Love
by Melissa Uhrin
'Tis the season, it would appear. My inbox is full of “Show your true love how you love with this expensive such and such,” Netflix is recommending nothing but mooshy-gooshy love crap and my mouth is full of cinnamon hearts. Yaaay, it's Valentine's Day?! Of which I am not generally a fan, due to my not requiring a specific date to dictate the need to show love. I fear I am coming off as more of a bitter old maid than the newlywed that I am, so let me explain.
Full Moon Fever: Trophy Heads
by Patrick Bromley
The first original series from Full Moon is also the best thing they've done in years.

Heavy Action: Cliffhanger
by Patrick Bromley
In 1993, Sylvester Stallone needed a comeback. Cliffhanger was that comeback.
Full Moon Fever: Robot Wars
by Patrick Bromley
1993's Robot Wars is often recognized as the unofficial sequel to Stuart Gordon's Robot Jox. I have seen Robot Jox, and you, Robot Wars, are no Robot Jox.

Movies of 1993: Cronos
by Mark Ahn
1993 happened to be right in the middle of my high school experience, when I was old enough to know I really loved movies but had little idea as to why I did. Not that this is a bad thing; there are certain advantages to being perfectly content spending a Saturday with a double bill of Little Man Tate followed by Necessary Roughness.
The Overlook: Dave
by JB
This is the film Frank Capra would have made... had he still been alive in 1993.
