To paraphrase little orphan Annie: instead of treated, the US box office got tricked this weekend past! With this year’s Halloween falling on Saturday, usually the busiest day for American cinemas, it meant that total revenue for the weekend was way down at just above $70 million – the lowest weekend take for the year thus far. And with cineamgoers …
It’s (almost) all about Halloween this weekend! We have a surprisingly good meta-adaptation of the famously spooky R.L. Stine book series Goosebumps, a disturbing but beautiful horror love story from Guillermo del Toro, a sadly not-so-scary home invasion thriller, a movie about the dark allure of violent gangsters, and one Russian produced and Afrikaans dubbed animated movie about The Snow …
Guillermo del Toro’s Crimson Peak has all the ingredients to make one fine movie. Unfortunately, there might just be too many ingredients to make it all work.

The comedy adventure fell short of …
Up until George Miller’s recent “mad” resurgence, I would have said that Guillermo Del Toro is probably the most visually imaginative director working in the Hollywood studio system. The Pan’s Labyrinth and Pacific Rim helmer builds such sumptuously fantastical worlds in his movies, that even if the movies themselves don’t always work holistically, at least they look utterly amazing. With …
