‘Freddy vs. Jason’ (2003) mostly delivers the goods
Reliving the ‘Nightmares’ (Movie review): It took too long for this monster mash to reach screens, but it’s nice to get a slick, smart take on the franchises.
‘Freddy vs. Jason’ (2003) mostly delivers the goods
‘Uncle Buck’ (1989) has lots of heart, fewer laughs
Hughes Day Tuesday (Movie review): Although loved by many, “Uncle Buck” is the weakest of the three major Hughes-Candy collaborations.
‘Unteleported Man’ (1966) is best version of story
PKD flashback (Book review): The paranoia-laced “Unteleported Man” is slightly preferable to its later, longer version, “Lies, Inc.”
‘Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous’ appeals to geeks, kids
TV review: “Camp Cretaceous” Season 1 successfully walks the tightrope, giving something to both kids and adult “Jurassic Park” geeks.
‘Reliquary’ (1997) goes underground for ‘Relic’ sequel
Preston & Child flashback (Book review): The authors have explored every corner of the globe, but the area beneath NYC might be the most fascinating.
‘Swamp Thing’ much better than previous screen versions
First episode impressions (TV review): DC Universe’s “Swamp Thing” — now on The CW — massively improves on the ridiculous 1980s movies.
‘New Nightmare’ (1994) has great concept, poor execution
Reliving the ‘Nightmares’ (Movie review): “Wes Craven’s New Nightmare” is more interesting than it is good, but at least it paves the way for “Scream.”
‘Next’ a tired take on artificial intelligence fears
First episode impressions (TV review): The umpteenth series to warn us about artificial intelligence ranks among the most forgettable.
All 21 episodes of ‘Dark Angel’ Season 2 (2001-02), ranked
TV review: James Cameron’s “Dark Angel” Season 2 starts slow and finishes strong in what unfortunately turns out to be its final season.
‘Freddy’s Dead: The Final Nightmare’ (1991) gives backstory
Reliving the ‘Nightmares’ (Movie review): Freddy has some fun and gets a fuller backstory in the sixth (and definitely not last) “Nightmare” film.
