REVIEW: ‘Guava Island’ is proof of concept for Donald Glover’s limitless talent

REVIEW: ‘Pet Sematary’ remake is a frightening, mournful look at a family’s grief

Cameron Hoover April 10, 2019

The marketing team at Paramount tasked with promoting the studio’s new remake of “Pet Sematary” really left itself open for the ire of the internet with a simple, four-word tagline: “Sometimes...

REVIEW: ‘Dumbo’ disappoints with unnecessary, style-less remake

Cameron Hoover April 2, 2019

OPINION: The Oscars will only work when they remember their roots
